Few authors get a testament to their legacy in quite the way that J.R.R. Tolkien has. Decades after his most famous books were written, not only did they become one of the most celebrated and iconic fantasy film franchises of all time, but they also became the source material for one of the most iconic and celebrated genres of memes. This is versatility at its finest, and much of it is down to the dedication of all the wannabe residents of Middle-earth who just so happen to know their way around Photoshop. Between a strong story and countless beloved characters, it's easy to make something humorous out of the plentiful material of Lord of the Rings. The proof is the fact that the fandom has been doing it for this long, and they show no signs of slowing down any of their enthusiasm for this silly yet enriching pastime.
