Greetings, all filthy hobbitses and enthusiasts of Middle-earth! If you find yourself here, I must congratulate you for being a part of one of the most prolific and dedicated meme-making communities of all nerdy subgenres. This meme phenomenon has been ongoing for what feels like forever, yet the passionate followers of the journey to Mordor persist in creating fresh and amusing content about this rich imaginary world week after week.

It’s safe to assume that when J.R.R. Tolkien penned this timeless series, he never envisioned its explosion onto a small yet influential corner of the internet. After all, he probably couldn’t have anticipated the existence of the internet, given his primary concern was everything that has given us all this beautiful meme fodder today. Fortunately, his narrative choices have held up under this endless, humorous scrutiny. Familiar with the routine? Embark on the journey and revel in the humor.
