There is always something to look forward to when you are a fan of The Lord of the Rings.

The fandom is so large and so beloved that people are always scrambling to do something more in appreciation of the great works of Tolkien. With photos recently released of the set for The Hunt for Gollum, wannabe filthy little hobbitses can be assured that the newest installment of events happening in Middle-earth is going smoothly. It won't be long before there is a new release to run along to the movie theater for.

In the meantime, though, LOTR fans have a truly enviable back catalog to fall back on when they need their Tolkien fix. There are countless books, movies, and shows that can help to scratch that itch, many of which are considered to be bona fide classics. It isn't often that a fandom gets such a varied and high-caliber of content to enjoy over the years, but that is just one of the many draws of being invested in LOTR.

As if that wasn't enough, those who adore all things Tolkien are also noted for their sense of humor. They are perhaps some of the most dedicated meme makers on the internet, and that is saying something. There is simply so much quality material to mine for jokes, and they also have the right attitude to make just about every minor plot point funny if they really want to. It is a recipe for the stuff of cultural legend.
