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

Being a fan of The Lord of the Rings is one of the purest joys a person can experience.

I mean, there are only a few other fandoms that allow their members to indulge their desire to be one of the types of people found in their fictional universe through a themed festival (if you happen to be in the UK in September, that's your chance to cosplay as a Hobbit). Those who love all things Middle-earth can also rest easy in the knowledge that they enjoy one of the most critically lauded series of all time, one that never gets more enjoyable no matter how many times you choose to revisit it.

Naturally, it helps that a great number of LOTR enjoyers are also great memers, and they are forever keeping the spirit of the franchise alive through endless silly jokes. They know that the best use of knowing their beloved books and movies inside out is putting that trivia into meme form, tickling established fans and converting more people to the cause.

The honest, hard work of all those meme makers who are dedicated to LOTR should not go unappreciated, and that is why we have been collecting some of the highlights every week for so long. Just when you think that every avenue has been exhausted, they come up with a new format or strain of humor to keep the fandom going for another couple of years. It is a service that is a credit to everything Tolkien.
