Quirky LotR Meme Sums Fellowship of the Ring in 1 Most Bizarre Sentence
Sometimes a little creativity in a description can turn the whole perception of the story upside down.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the first part of Peter Jackson's film trilogy based on the legendary fantasy novels by J.R.R. Tolkien, was released more than two decades ago.
It left a lasting impression on fans, who continue to debate and joke about it to this day. And sometimes those jokes provide a whole new humorous take on the whole story.
We know that memes are sometimes unexpectedly creative, but could you imagine that one Tumblr post could turn an entire tome of Tolkien's work into a relatable and bizarre anecdote?
Well, turns out it could.
Honestly, the description of Gandalf as Bilbo's "old stoner friend from out of town" feels surprisingly much more accurate than it should, and calling The One Ring to Rule Them All "a souvenir he brought back from Vegas 80 years ago that is actually Satan's mood ring" is one of the most creative comparisons we have ever seen.
Also, the Nazgul are literally the undead assassins, and Sam is a medieval analog of a lawnmower guy. Let that sink in.
Speaking of medieval analogies, meeting a medieval hozier in a dark gastropub... It would be hard to see that scene with Aragorn any other way from now on.
This whole thread feels like a goldmine of parody inspiration, and we are rather surprised that no one has come up with one in twenty years. Other users even give their take on The Hobbit as "a road trip with a midget biker gang."
All you have to do is rewrite the rest of the trilogy in the same way, and you have the script for a perfect parody.
Don't forget the pale, balding crackhead who used to own the Vegas souvenir, so he tags along with Frodo, hoping to shank him in his sleep and grab it for himself.
Or another old pothead who took too much acid and started hearing Satan's voice coming out of an old, non-functioning plasma lamp. Alright, we'll stop right there.
