Greetings to all the wannabe hobbitses whose perfect pastime involves exploring every corner of the endlessly fascinating worlds created by J.R.R. Tolkien. 

Whether you’re wandering the ancient forests of Lothlorien or scaling the misty peaks that surround Mordor, there is always an area of the Middle-earth map to pique your attention. If you’ve made your way here today, it’s fair to assume you possess exceptionally good taste in fantasy, and you understand that legendary tales can become even more entertaining when viewed through the perspective of memes.

There is a reason Tolkien’s work has endured for generations. More than seventy years after The Lord of the Rings was first published, it continues to inspire millions around the globe. It has become a cultural landmark, with few fictional universes leaving such an enormous mark on popular culture. That is before we even approach the sheer dedication of the fanbase.

The collection of amusing images that can be found here serves as yet another reminder that the creativity of the Tolkien fandom knows no bounds. Fans continue to find fresh ways to celebrate their favourite stories by poking fun, giving us a different way of looking at iconic scenes. Whether you’re here for clever references that only the most dedicated will understand or simply desire to see some humor about all the characters that we have grown to know and love, you are in the right place. There is a LOTR meme for every moment at this point, and there will be more where that came from. We just have to trust in the powers of everything Tolkien.
