Tolkien Tuesday: The Best Lord of the Rings Memes This Week

The Lord of the Rings is one of the most beloved works of storytelling in the past 100 years for a reason.

From the inimitable worldbuilding to the storyline to the characters that we can't help but love (or hate), it has done a stellar job of captivating millions of readers and viewers for all these years. For every single one of its flashier assets, though, none compares to the wholesome core of a story where good triumphs over evil through sheer force of will. Loyalty, compassion, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship are even more important than any of the epic showdowns. These vital themes are a part of what makes the series such an irresistible topic for memes.

These days, more than ever, a fandom plays a specific role in how well a franchise is received. As such, it is high praise indeed for every single one of the wannabe nasty little hobbitses that LOTR has made its mark on internet culture. LOTR fans tend to embrace a silly and often self-aware sense of humor that builds on the charm of the works that they love. Their jokes create an inviting atmosphere for newcomers, but also offer plenty for the most dedicated nerds to get their teeth into. Even those with only a little knowledge of Tolkien can find themselves drawn into the ecosystem of LOTR-inspired humor, but they are by no means the only intended audience. These memes build upon the lore in ridiculous ways, enhancing the experience of revisiting the books or films.
