There are fandoms, and there is the juggernaut that stems from a love of The Lord of the Rings.

Decades after the books were published and even the iconic film adaptations were released, the journey continues. Each new generation finds fresh ways to celebrate the timeless work of art that is everything in Middle-earth, even when it seems like there is nothing more to be explored. While it is always an option to return to enjoy the magic of Tolkien's original stories, fans are also fortunate that the entertainment industry continues to be fascinated with adapting his work. There is always a new LOTR installment on the horizon.

Of course, not every addition to the universe reaches the extraordinary standards set by Tolkien or Peter Jackson, whose contributions remain unparalleled. It is only natural, seeing as few franchises can maintain an unblemished level of excellence forever. Luckily, LOTR fans are dedicated enough that they would never let a lackluster chapter in the canon dampen their enthusiasm for the great works.

This is conclusively shown in the endless stream of Lord of the Rings memes that are shared across the internet every day. These jokes offer fans a way to keep the magic alive with silly puns and inside jokes that may be best appreciated by longtime devotees, but can also entice casuals as well. They serve as a reminder that even one of the greatest fantasy sagas ever created has plenty of room to lighten up a bit and enjoy a joke.
