Lord Of The Rings: 9 Hilariously Incorrect Memes That Are Too Funny – Screen Rant

Lord of the Rings is one of the best sources for the meme treatment, even when there are details about the source material that miss the mark.

The Lord of the Rings is, of course, one of the most popular novels and film franchises to have ever blessed popular culture. Tolkiens work has continued to enchant audiences through the decades, right up until the present. Given the enormous popularity of these books and novels, it was probably inevitable that they would also become the subject for a significant number of memes.

The most hilarious ones, it seems, are those that, in one way or another, are incorrect in how they think about either the books or the movies. If nothing else, they show that the fandom for Tolkien definitely has a sense of humor.

Relatedly, this meme makes the argument that Tolkien was rather silly for creating numerous languages for his Elves yet deciding to label a doomed mountain Mount Doom. Canny readers and fans will know, however, that Mount Doom is just something of a colloquial name.

In fact, it has not one, but two names in Elvish. Sometimes, it really does pay to do your homework when making a point about Tolkiens use of language.

Its well-known that the Elves of Tolkiens work are complex and fascinating creatures, even as they are also tragic. Readers over the years have noticed how different they seem in their different iterations, and this meme cleverlypoints out these shifting characterizations.

However, its also hilariously wrong in some important ways. Obviously, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion are three very different tales, each with different narrators and told at three different moments in Elvish histories, all of which help to explain the differences.

Theres no question that Christopher Lee was brilliantly cast as Saruman. As this meme points out, he was also unique among the cast in having met Tolkien himself. The true hilariousness of the meme, however, is that its just so gloriously mashed up.

Since Lee was approved to play Gandalf by the original author himself, the creator has juxtaposed this with Star Wars, in which Lee also starred, this time as the villain Count Dooku. Its a gorgeously wrong meme if there ever was one.
