In the remastered edition of Oblivion, players can discover a delightful reference to the ‘Potion Seller’ meme, which became a viral sensation in 2011. The game includes a console command that humorously ties into the iconic video. The command, Altar.Player.PotionSellerGiveMeYourStrongestPotions, not only mentions the meme but also features a description that quotes one of the video’s memorable lines: ‘Have you heard of my potions? …My potions are too strong for you, traveller.’

This easter egg is an excellent nod for fans of both Oblivion and internet culture, showing how deeply pop culture can influence game design. Notably, the meme, performed by Justin Kuritzkes, has garnered millions of views, and its impact has been cited as significant in shaping online humor.

For those who are unfamiliar with the original video, it’s a comedic sketch that has earned its place as a foundational moment in internet meme history. As the remastered game captures the essence of Oblivion, it also cleverly intertwines itself with modern digital culture, making it a perfect blend of nostalgia and contemporary humor.
