The line comes from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bethesda's 2006 fantasy role-playing game, where Imperial Guards patrol the cities of Cyrodiil and respond to crimes committed by the player. Their stiff, formal dialogue became a lasting source of humour for players, and short clips of guard encounters spread through YouTube, forums, and later TikTok and soundboards as shorthand for the game's distinctive NPC behaviour. The 'such violence' moment endures because it captures that humour in a few seconds: an authority figure calmly understating complete chaos, a format creators still reuse whenever on-screen action turns suddenly absurd.
