Imagine Déagol's joy when he discovered a timeless treasure lying at the bottom of a riverbed. One minute, you're fishing with your best bud on your birthday and the next, you're headfirst in the mirky waters of the Andui Rivern. What a day, right? Now, any young hobbit would be thrilled to find a wonderous gold band, but little did he know, that treasured moment would be cut short by the evils of the One ring. Darnit!–and Smeagol had the most lovely day planned for them! (Prior to his descent into madness)
Nobody's had a birthday quite as terrible as Déagol since that fateful day in the third age of Men. So the next time your kiddos complain that their birthday cake was the wrong flavor or that they didn't get enough balloons, remind them that at least they're not finding cursed jewelry that turned their friend into a ravenous beast.
For now, let these LOTR memes cure you of any curse of the week! Keep scrolling for a Hobbit's helping of Lord of the Rings laughs that'll surely make your day a delight.
