* BlatantLies: Miraak isn't very convincing when he tries to boast that he could have easily killed Alduin if he wanted to. When pointed out that his temple was burned down by lesser dragons while Vahlok handed his ass to him, he tries to say he left a cigar burning on the nightstand.

-->-- '''The Last Dragonborn''' (on eating ingredients to level up your Alchemy skill)

''The Senile Scribbles'' is a web series developed by Foolhardy, based on the 2011 video game, ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''. The series serves to lampshade and question several elements about the game, from lore to gameplay to NPC behavior. It can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLoWhJJEjzXl0jfiQjuVuJkVe0gGpYstU here]].

!!''The Senile Scribbles'' provides examples of:

* AlwaysABiggerFish: The Last Dragonborn learns this the hard way when he easily rips the head off an Ancient Dragon, only for a Legendary Dragon to arrive and eat him.
* BlackComedy: It's heavily implied J'zargo has FIV. The courier's response to this? Saying he has [[{{Pun}} three more letters for him]].
* BlatantLies: Miraak isn't very convincing when he tries to boast that he could have easily killed Alduin if he wanted to. When pointed out that his temple was burned down by lesser dragons while Vahlok handed his ass to him, he tries to say he left a cigar burning on the nightstand.

** When the Last Dragonborn sells off some junk, Belethor asks if he has anything else of value. When pushed, the Last Dragonborn admits he was trying be nice and that Belethor can't afford anything else.

The Last Dragonborn finally shuts him up when he admits the real reason is because he thinks Stahlrim armor looks ridiculous.

He also neglects the fact that, unlike Cyrodiilic vampires, Skyrim vampires aren't even harmed by the sun, only weakened by it.
* DudeWheresMyReward: Proventus apparently thinks 100 gold is an acceptable reward for taking out a bandit den.
* DumpStat: The loading screen for the Lockpicking skill considers investing perk points in the tree branch even lower than wiping your ass with said perk points.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Last Dragonborn is far from a saint, but even he's disgusted by cannibalism.
* TheFaceless: The Last Dragonborn's face is always obscured by whatever helmet he's wearing. Even ''he'' doesn't know what his face looks like, saying he's not vain and doesn't spend all day in front of the mirror.
* FreezeFrameBonus: The map to one of the Dragon Priest dungeons has several sight gags, such as a room shaped like a fetus. To list them all here would take a while.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Discussed in one of the loading screens, which points out that Eorlund Gray-Mane's steel is far from "legendary".
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Throughout the series, the Last Dragonborn constantly murders anyone who even mildly pisses him off. He's also hilariously nonchalant about it.
* InfantImmortality: Lampshaded by one of the loading screens, saying all players have tried to kill the kids at some point.
* NotSoAboveItAll: The Last Dragonborn mostly serves as the OnlySaneMan, but he still has his moments, such as walking painfully slowly to Adrianne's shop due to being overencumbered and making her wait on him.
* MistakenForGay: Miraak, due to the rainbow aura of his Dragon Aspect shout and his sword resembling a lurker's junk.
* NoSell: The Last Dragonborn's heavily enchanted Dragon Bone armor causes an Ancient Dragon's fire breath to only take off a tiny sliver of his health. It does squat against a Legendary Dragon, though.
* OnlySaneMan:
** The Last Dragonborn himself, who frequently points out several issues that no one else seems to bat an eyelash at.
** Serana takes this role in episodes 9 and 10 when the Last Dragonborn keeps trying to convince her to marry him.
* RainbowPimpGear: Thanks to a sloppy (and racist) enchanter.
-->'''Last Dragonborn:''' Well I was gonna say that these enchants you've tought me are fucking garbage! You've got my armor glowing all colors of the rainbow!
* RealityEnsues
** The Dawnguard has started training armored trolls to fight vampires. Problem is, like all beasts, old trolls are too wild to train, so the Dawnguard can only train baby trolls.
--->'''Last Dragonborn:''' And seeing as this is a relatively new operation...\\
'''Gunmar:''' We only have untrained babies.
** Also, turns out blocking out the sun would cause all plantlife to die, creating a domino effect that would exinquish all life on the planet, leaving the vampires to starve.
* RunningGag: The Last Dragonborn causing thunder whenever he raises his voice.
* SkewedPriorities: Apparently the perfect time to ask Harkin for his blessing to marry his daughter is right before ''fighting him to the death''.
* TheStoner: One of the Dragon Priests mentions using the Fortify Alchemy enchantment on his mask to "mix some bomb-ass herbs".
* TakeYourTime: The Last Dragonborn totally forgets that he's supposed to kill Alduin, and has to be reminded by Isran before he can join the Dawnguard.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: The Last Dragonborn dies twice in series, first by being knocked into orbit by a giant, and later by being eaten by a dragon. He's perfectly fine the next scene both times.
* TookALevelInBadass: The Last Dragonborn gets stronger throughout the series, as evidenced by him wearing progressively better armor and his level increasing in the loading screens. We even see this in action as he easily mops the floor with a giant who knocked him into the stratosphere earlier.
* {{Troll}}: The two Dark Brotherhood initiates in the Dawnstar Sanctuary, pretending to be the voice of the Black Door.
* VillainProtagonist: The Last Dragonborn casually murders several city guards who get in his way, is implied to have joined the Dark Brotherhood (seeing as he knows the password to the Dawnstar Sanctuary), [[spoiler:murders Paarthurnax (although he regretted it and later went back in time to talk himself out of it)]], and in the finale, [[spoiler:decides to take over Skyrim for himself]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Isran is very upset when the Last Dragonborn tries to join the Dawnguard before taking care of the Dragon Crisis.
* TheWorfEffect: The Last Dragonborn levels up to 78 after easily ripping the head off of an Ancient Dragon, only to have a Legendary Dragon appear and eat him.
