Every week we churn out a hefty helping of memes inspired by (or featuring scenes from) The Lord of the Rings . Lately, we've been offering up the same for fans of Star Wars. Is it bold of us to assume that there's some overlap where their fans are concerned? Apparently not. In fact, we'd wager that these Star Wars / LOTR crossover memes count as pretty good proof. This particular mix of Tolkien-ized Star Wars memes mostly features characters and meme formats from the prequels, which makes sens…

It's hard to dislike Star Wars. The original series has given birth to movies and series that are incredibly varied in nature. Even my most opinionated and snobby film friends can get behind Andor, and that's saying something. In this carefully curated gallery, we've assembled a collection of Star Wars memes that span from the original trilogy to the prequels, delivering a delightful blend of nostalgia and hilarity. We're willing to bet that this gallery, with its memes sourced from the depths…

Hey, did you know that the Gallipoli front during World War I was a total disaster? British veterans who were there called it one of the worst military campaigns ever. Crazy, right? I actually found out about it from some random history meme that I just had to Google. As it turns out, when the Brits weren't busy fighting the Ottoman Empire, they were dealing with swarms of flies from rotting bodies, running out of water, scorching heat, lice, dysentery, and not enough food. It was a pretty nast…

Oh yeah, baby. It 's Friday, y'all. But does the coming of Friday really mean all that much? As I get older, the arrival of Friday seems to bring less and less satisfaction. It's true that I can go out and party until 6 am without much work-related consequence (like, I won't get fired), but with age comes brutal hangovers, extra dehydration, and the dreaded brain fog that makes even simply existing a trial all its own. Moaning and groaning my way through Saturday and Sunday sounds like hell - a…

Well then would you look at that

Diets suck. I should know - I recently embarked on a weight loss journey with the help of a little thing called ‘Weight Watchers.’ Now that every food is ascribed points and I'm left to add up the

Out here in New York City, most of us have too many neighbors to bother getting to know them. or communicate with anyone. While there are a few neighborhood or block associations that strive to bring the community together, but they can be pretty insular. People in my neighborhood don't use sites like Nextdoor to communicate. It's usually a quick "How ya doin?" or, when something is amiss, a quick complaint session on the sidewalk. Thanks to the Internet, we know that this is not the case in th…

What up, weed enthusiasts! It hasn't been too long since New York City has officially legalized marijuana, but the signs are literally everywhere. Dispensaries, legal or not, seem to be on every street. The air reeks of weed smoke, which probably pisses some people off. As a true blue native New Yorker who's been blazing since high school, I couldn't be happier to get a whiff on my way to work. To honor the new normal, I've put together a very 420-related collection of memes. From hilarious enc…

While I'm more clever in person than I may seem here, there are certain things I struggle with. It's hard for me to finish writing that I've started for myself. Long-form, I mean. I'm scared to commit to endings. That said, I also happen to struggle with really short form as well, namely tweets. As hard as I've tried to go viral for a funny observation about life or a silly anecdote, they kind of fall flat. Perhaps it's due to the high levels of self-deprecation . We may never know. Fortunately…

Being an adult sounded great when I was like, thirteen. I had it all figured out: My best friend Jane and I would move into her uncle's cottage in England. He's a big-time director and owned Beatrix Potter's house. It was going to be amazing. Driving old range rovers around the estate, listening to the Cure and the Clash, and eating (and drinking) like queens. Judging by the fact that I'm living in a tenement here in Brooklyn, and she's living with her mother-in-law in New Jersey, things haven'…

As a lowly office worker, reaching the end of hump day can feel like a small victory against the agonizing monotony of the Monday-Friday workweek. Hump day, known to some as Wednesday, is nestled between the arduous beginning and the eagerly awaited end of the week. It's a day that embodies both exhaustion and a glimmer of hope, as we trudge through the remaining workdays, inching closer to a weekend of relative freedom. In our office, conversations revolve around the struggle to stay focused,…

Today I congratulated myself for making the bed, and also for finishing my coffee before it was cold. I may not have drank a 16 oz glass of water like I had plugged into my productivity app, but listen. Nobody's perfect. Not even Keanu Reeves. I'm sure he has a devious thought every now and then, or orders Uber Eats instead of cooking his own meals. Anyway, the obsession with perfection, productivity, and self-care is getting ridiculous. Even my therapist agrees. We set such high bars for ourse…

Greetings, cat lovers. There's not much I can say about our furry little feline friends that other people on the Internet haven't said before. That's especially true for our sister sites on Cheezburger. The truth is that cats rule everything around me. Some commenters razz me for my “sad cat lady” ways, but it doesn't get to me. I know that my cat obsession and self-deprecating humor are not particularly unique on the Internet. In fact, judging by the sheer volume of cat memes, articles, and pi…

Sorry not sorry, still love you thooooo

Happy Tuesday, y'all. Today may not be my favorite day of the week, but it's one of my favorite days to work. That's because I get to indulge my nerdy side and collect a ton of Lord of the Rings memes for Tolkien appreciators such as myself. Every week hundreds of LOTR-related memes are shared on Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram, and thanks to their creators, I can now share them with you. While I normally get a good chuckle or two during the process of meme collection, this week I actually lear…

Tee hee
