34 Lord of the Rings Memes for Fans Quoting LOTR Whenever Possible (December 21, 2025)

When it comes to Lord of the Rings fans, most of us are fairly certain we could walk barefoot to Mordor and back. Then again, I'd wager that most humans are not only overly confident but also overestimate the strength of the skin under their soft, pale feet. That being said, there's no human who could have survived the walk to Mordor from Brie; that's not even factoring in the heinous jokes of Gollum, the chase of the Nazgûl, or the ever-present gaze of the One Ring.

Hobbits were the only creatures in Middle Earth capable of such a feat, pressing onward towards volcanic Doom, as the fate of all things good rests on their tiny shoulders. While the hobbits are supremely special creatures, capable of eating up to 15 times a day, reading six books in a week, and drinking at least two half-pints at the Green Dragon pub in Hobbiton, what they lack in stature they make up for in wholeheartedness. Without skipping a beat, most hobbits will leave their comfortable world behind them, tackling adventures far too big for the likes of 'em, and carrying the (literal) weight of the world around their necks in the process.

No human could do that.

Sure, LOTR fans are built differently and are able to binge-watch three 3-hour movies in a row without batting an eye, but we lack the steadfastness of the hobbits, the raw strength of the dwarves, the grace of the elves, and the motivation of a stew-filled Aragorn fleeing the battlefields of Gondor to outrun a shield-maiden's soup. Humans have their upsides, I suppose. Largely their supreme motivation to follow their passions, humans are perfectly equipped to enjoy some of the best things to come out of the Lord of the Rings universe… Memes.

For when it comes to mental fortitude, we humans have the upper hand, especially when we're watching another round of LOTR, picking up The Silmarillion, strolling through the woods pretending we're an Ent, or swinging a Christmas wrap tube around saying, "This is a good sword." Scroll onwards, fellow LOTR maniac, and flex those human attributes of perseverance. Show the inhabitants of Middle Earth what we humans are made of! …And by that, I mean take a look at these memes, of course.
