Tolkien Tuesday: The Best Lord of the Rings Memes This Week (August 15, 2023)

Happy Tolkien Tuesday, nerds, geeks, and all-around Lord of the Rings freaks. We're back for another round of this week's best Middle-Earth-based internet memes.

I'll admit it. I wasn't a Lord of the Rings fan until fairly recently. I didn't grow up with it and I was rarely exposed to it. The closest I got to becoming a fan was through playing "The Lord of the Rings: Conquest." Even then, it was just a game I played at my friend's house. The first real theatrical exposure to the series was through the first Hobbit film, which is obviously not the best introduction. It was only when I became a fan of Peter Jackson as a director that I decided to finally give the original trilogy a shot. And, believe it or not, I was an immediate fan. I felt like a fool for putting it off for so long, but I can say with full-chested confidence that it's maybe the greatest fantasy film series of all time.

So now that we've established that The Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest series of fiction in existence, let's get to the reason you're all here: fellowship-related memes. We've collected the best memes of the week, so scroll down and take in some Mordor-related funnies.
