We're starting to think that our 'precious' love for all things Lord of the Rings may be veering into 'you shall not pass' territory. Our marathon of Middle-Earth mania has extended beyond the borders of the Shire and straight into the realm of obsession. We're not just talking about re-watching the epic trilogy (extended editions, of course) or even the Hobbit movies, we've been audibly adventuring with Frodo and the Fellowship through the audiobooks, and we're on the brink of re-installing those classic LOTR video games (especially "Return of the King"). All while trying to figure out if Legolas' hair really does defy gravity.
Have we mentioned our descent into the YouTube rabbit hole of LOTR theories? Oh, yes. We've spent countless hours journeying through the intricate labyrinth of fan theories, dissecting every aspect of Tolkien's world, from the significance of pipe-weed to the aerodynamics of the Nazgûl's fell beasts. But hey, it's not time wasted when it's spent in Middle-Earth, right?
So, in the spirit of our Middle-Earth mania, we've compiled a list of 30 hilarious Lord of the Rings memes. As Gandalf would say, "It's the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and... humor!" So, let's enjoy a laugh or thirty at the expense of our favorite hobbits, wizards, and elves!
