Sometimes I wonder—would Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy have been as wildly successful if he'd kept all the songs in? Think about it: even without Tom Bombadil (bless his endlessly singing heart), there are still a lot of songs in Tolkien's books.
The hobbits eat breakfast? Song. The elves reminisce about Gandalf? Song. Aragorn has a reflective moment? You guessed it—song. It's a wonder the Balrog doesn't break into a fiery ballad before falling into the abyss. If Jackson had stayed 100% faithful to the books, would we have ended up with the most epic fantasy trilogy of all time—or an accidental musical? And would that have worked?
These 31 Lord of the Rings memes dive into the quirks, charm, and sheer brilliance of Middle-earth. Did you know that Pippin was a well known lover of memes as well as second breakfasts? Memes about Sauron's questionable decision-making, or the sheer endurance of Samwise Gamgee, this list would have been hailed by Pippin as better than a barrel of Ol' Toby. So, grab a pint, skip the songs (unless you're feeling musical), and enjoy a good laugh in the Shire.
