Much like the average wizard, Lord of the Rings memes are never late, nor are they early. They arrive exactly when somebody is in need of them, which if you're a LOTR fan on the internet probably happens on a fairly regular basis. Where else are you going to turn if you want to use your favorite franchise to describe some kind of relatable foible, or just need to escape to the land of Middle-earth to avoid all those pesky real-life responsibilities?

Memes that concern themselves with the respective masterpieces of J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson are in such plentiful supply that they are basically another art form in themselves. We're grateful for that because it means we get to bring you more of them to enjoy every week. See below for a selection that we hope will not disappoint. You might not be able to live in The Shire, but this is the next best thing.
