J.R.R. Tolkien spent nearly forty years developing fictional Elvish languages that would eventually inspire the complex mythology of Middle-earth, but he never could have predicted that his intricate fantasies would lead to an explosion of dank memes many decades later. For the internet as we know it, Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy is the gift that keeps on giving. Return of the King came out twenty years ago, and yet there are still new memes being made using iconic stills from the LOTR movies. If you spend even just a few minutes online, at some point you're bound to see a Lord of the Rings meme knocking about. There's a LOTR meme for every occasion—they're truly ubiquitous. Who knows how J.R.R. Tolkien would feel about today's LOTR memes, but I like to think that he'd be pretty flattered.

If you're the type of fan who goes a little Gollum mode for precious Lord of the Rings memes, you're going to love this collection of lore-filled LOTR content.
