We Dug Too Deep and Found These 26 Lord of the Rings Memes

Look, I love The Lord of the Rings as much as the next person who can recite "The world has changed" before their coffee kicks in. The movies are masterpieces. The memes? Even better. But while we're here laughing at hobbits and second breakfast and Legolas defying the laws of physics, I need to say something I've been holding in for years: justice for Gimli.

In Fellowship of the Ring, Gimli was funny because he was proud, stubborn, and ready to swing an axe at anything taller than him (which is, like, everything). The humor came from contrast. But starting with The Two Towers, they turned him into a walking punchline. Falling off horses. Huffing and puffing behind Legolas. Getting tossed. Again. And again. I didn't love that for him. He deserved more than just comic relief duty while everyone else got cooler and cooler.

Anyway. These 26 Lord of the Rings memes are a beautiful blend of clever, dumb, chaotic, and deeply relatable. Scroll forth, laugh heartily, and maybe—just maybe—remember Gimli as the heroic, axe-wielding legend he was meant to be.
