When it comes to fantasy epic blockbusters, it doesn’t get much better than Lord of the Rings. The film trilogy is adapted from the classic novels by the great J. R. R. Tolkein. If you somehow have never seen the films or read the books, the general plot revolves around the destruction of the One Ring. Frodo Baggins, a dwarfish creature known as a hobbit, must team with a motley crew and embark on a journey through Middle Earth to destroy the ring at the ominous Mount Doom.

While the novels are great, the films are even better. Director Peter Jackson really managed to capture the world Tolkein created on the page and transfer it to the big screen. The films became a cultural phenomenon, and as is the case when something becomes part of pop culture, it quickly got the meme treatment.

Lord of the Rings memes make fun of not only the trilogy but the Hobbit trilogy also. They reference everything from major plot lines and characters to funny in-jokes and real-life situations. So as we prepare to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of The Two Towers, here are 20 hilarious Lord of the Ring memes to laugh along to. 

1. One Does Not Simply…

Meme

This is possibly the most famous meme to come out of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. When delivering a speech to the council of Elrond, Boromir (played by Sean Bean), utters the lines, “One does not simply walk into Mordor.” This quickly became a meme that spread like wildfire and has been used for just about every event and occasion you can imagine. There are so many of these memes out there, but we think the one above is pretty funny. You can check out more here.
