Karl Custer is very fond of playing ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim The Aura Scrolls: Skyguard]]''. Well, perhaps he's a bit more than just fond. OK, he's addicted. This addiction is ruining his life, as his job is in grave danger, and his co-workers and girlfriend beg him to put the game down and do something more important.

Then, one day, his avatar, Jimbroth, somehow gets zapped into the real world. {{Hilarity ensues}} as Karl tries to keep the barbarian warrior under control and from stealing what is left of his life.

* KleptomaniacHero: Jimbroth remembers a time when he put a bucket over someone's head and stole everything in sight. This actually is a mechanic that can be done in Skyrim which was overlooked by the developers, but not a glitch. Though since, Bethesda released a patch in which if you attempt it, the NPC will take it off.

** [[TheLegendOfZelda "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never find out what happened to the little girl who Jimbroth "rescued" from a school bus and got drunk on hard cider. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Carl when he belatedly remembers her.
* XMeetsY: In their Anime Midwest interview, Rachel and Malcolm said Doug's short was "''VideoGame/{{Skyrim}}'' meets ''Film/OfficeSpace''" and not connected to the site at all.

* OnlySaneMan: Carl is the only person who thinks it's weird that a video game character has come to life

* {{Cuckold}}: The protagonist creates a barbarian character in a thinly-veiled ''Videogame/{{Skyrim}}'' spoof that gets brought into the real world and begins to live his life better than the videogame-obsessed protagonist. This includes being a better companion to his girlfriend, Jessica. Highlights include [[spoiler:flat out telling her to her face that he considers women to be property (to which she responds "ICanChangeHim"), sweet talking her into fetching beers for a party (while o she's naked from the waist down), and changing her from a staunch feminist into someone who likes being won over by a more dominant man.]] There's even the standard cuckold trope of the replaced boyfriend being effectively feminized to cement his utter defeat.

''Dragonbored'' is the Walkers's contribution to ''The Uncanny Valley''.

* YouDidntAsk: Jimbroth's reaction to Carl accusing him of not telling him about [[spoiler:in-game pain]].

''Dragonbored'' is Creator/DougWalker's contribution to ''The Uncanny Valley''.

* EverythingIsRacist: The boss gets the wrong idea about Jimbroth calling Carl his master and tells him he should rise up. Bear in mind Jimbroth is white.

** Perhaps this is a subversion, as marriagable Skyrim NPCs are bisexual.

** There are a lot of shout outs to game mechanics present in ''Skyrim.'' For example if you put a bucket on someone's head in ''Skyrim'' you are out of their line of sight and therefore you can [[JustForPun rob them blind.]] Jimbroth mentions that he did this once.

* BlandNameProduct: Skyguard is clearly meant to be ''[[TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' (they are even using modded footage from Skyrim), The Aura Scrolls is meant to be ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', and Mephesto is meant to represent ''Creator/{{Bethesda}}'', the creators of the game and the franchise. Heck, the title of the short, ''Dragonbored'' is based off of the name of the PlayerCharacter of the real game, the Dragonborn. Additionally, Skyguard was released on the [[PlayStation3 PSZ]].
