We've been re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring and we can't help but marvel at how brilliantly the narrative was adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's rich prose to the cinematic masterpiece by the quartet of wizards - Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Peter Jackson, and Stephen Sinclair. They didn't try to outdo the book, they simply channelled its essence into another form, like transforming a solid ring into a glorious fiery inscription!

Moreover, without the marriage of Tolkien's work with the magic of cinema, we wouldn't have this wonderful world translated into the visual vernacular of our times - memes. What would we do without the 'One does not simply...' or 'You have no power here!' memes to accurately express our internet emotions? 

So let's delve into 40 hilarious Lord of the Rings memes. These memes, much like Samwise with Frodo, will carry you through your day (or at least give you a good laugh along the way).

    Bombadil Haters Peter Jackson was right to scrap Tom from the movies, he doesn't even make sense canonically. Why did Tolkien insert such a pointless character into his amazing franchise?

    Ewonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales What? I wonder if people will ever say, let's hear about Morgoth and the Silmarils.' And they'll say 'yes that's one of my favorite stories. Morgoth was really badass wasn't he? Huh, you left out one of the chief characters - Sauron the Cruel. I want to hear more about Sauron. Morgoth wouldn't have conquered far without Sauron
