"Why so serious?" It is not only a quote from one of the greatest Batman villain performances of all time, but an important question we must ask ourselves often. Why do we take everything so seriously, even though we don't need to? We were not put on this earth to yell at waitresses for having to wait 35 minutes to be seated. People doing things you don't like is not a slight against you. Things on Twitter that make you mad should not ruin your day. Most of us would feel so much better if we co…

Happy Tuesday, nerds! Welcome back to another edition of Tolkien Tuesday, where we put together rousing roundups of memes for anyone who loves The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. This collection has got it all: incredibly dumb and low-effort memes that somehow hit the spot, memes that reference the actual books instead of Peter Jackson's adaptations, plus some solid Twitter and Tumblr posts that shout out our favorite fantasy films and the books that inspired them. As a bonus, we're als…

While most products come in various sizes, some things are just meant to be consumed in bulk: Netflix shows, Costco's entire inventory, and Cheese Balls . I have never seen Cheese Balls in a compact container in my life. Every Cheese Ball in the world is in an absurdly large package that I cannot conceptualize being practical for anyone. How long does it take a family to eat one industrial-sized box of Cheese Balls? I can't imagine they could finish it in less than two months. Maybe that's by d…

Warm greetings to our fantasy-loving friends. Not much has been going down in the Lord of the Rings universe since Warner Bros. announced their plans to expand it. That is, unless you're a Magic: The Gathering fan. According to IGN, which is offering an exclusive first look at some of the cards, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth will be a full, draftable card set that is legal to play in the game's modern format. While this news might be exciting for MTG nerds, many of us are not tha…

Greetings, internet amigos. Are you a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy series, The Lord of the Rings ? If so, we've got a treat for you. Every Tuesday we round up some of the funniest memes inspired by the popular books and movies and share 'em with the world. From incredibly stupid shitposts using iconic scenes to character-related riffs, these nerdy memes might have you chuckling under your breath, or at the very least, rolling your eyes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just someone who…

Welcome back to another round of Tolkien Tuesday , when I (your host) provide y'all with the best Lord of the Rings memes I've seen this week. And lemme tell ya, some weeks are better than others. While I was on vacation it was announced that Warner Brothers would be getting in on the Lord of the Rings action by creating some new films based in the universe. It's been made very clear that the films would not be remakes of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, with Warner Bros Co-CEOS…

Happy Tolkien Tuesday, folks! Our resident J.R.R. Tolkien expert Ada is off on a merry adventure right now, and she's left me to share these memes with all of your middle earth residents. The only problem is I am not what you'd call a Lord of the Rings expert, which you could probably tell by my use of the phrase “middle earth experts.” I did not even read The Hobbit in the 3rd grade. I don't have a stellar justification for this except that I'm taking my time while consuming big franchised mov…

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all. Hope you're recovering from all the dips, wings, and other fried foods you probably consumed at the Super Bowl this week. As I pretended to watch the ol' game and refreshed Twitter over and over for memes, my boyfriend made a comment about how football is a very militaristic sport. He likened it to a battlefield, something about lines, whatever. I don't really get the whole nitty gritty of it, but I do appreciate a good battle scene. And what series does battle sce…

Enjoying the fantasy or science fiction genres is considered lame by some people. I'm talking about the people who read non-fiction books about politics, or people who prefer to watch the news over a dramatic television show. Some dismiss the genres as corny, while others look at them as an immature escape from reality. We're of the mind that the fictional genres of fantasy and sci-fi require an incredible level of creativity, something that is unique to human beings and should be taken advanta…

Let's be honest: millions and millions of memes are circulating the worldwide web at any given time. People are making them, sharing them, and resharing them at record-breaking rates. The unfortunate truth about this proliferation of memes is that most of them are not very good. It's not their fault! I am not here to meme-shame anyone, but rather tell you the truth, and the truthful state of the majority of memes is not good. The quality of the average meme is close to the quality of the averag…

Hello, party people, Lord of the Rings geeks, and lovers of internet humor. We come bearing great news. You can stop whatever it is you're doing and celebrate because we've made it to everyone's favorite day of the week. That's right, it's Tolkien Tuesday . If you know, you know, but if you're a Tolkien Tuesday virgin, then prepare yourself for an extra dank collection of all the best Lord of the Rings memes the internet has to offer. If you haven't seen the films? Well, that's a crime that can…

Happy Tuesday to all our friends, lovers, enemies, and even those of you who identify as a sorcerer of dreadful power, master of shadows and of phantoms, foul in wisdom, cruel in strength, misshaping what you touched, twisting what you rule, lord of werewolves, etc. For those of you who are new to Memebase, or have never enjoyed our “Tolkien Tuesday” series, Tuesdays are when we present the Internet with the best Lord of the Rings memes we scrolled through this week.

)Today, which is Tuesday, doesn't really feel like a Tuesday. Sure, the calendar insists that we're existing during the worst day of the week, but our bodies don't feel it. But this is normal during the holidays, especially during the week between Christmas and New Year's day . In fact, while doing our weekly duty of collecting Lord of the Rings memes for our Tolkien Tuesday gallery, we saw a meme that really sums it all up by comparing this murky limbo to whatever the hell Gandalf was up to wh…

We like a good clean meme as much as the next person. Simple and relatable ? Sign us up. If we're being honest, however, there's something about a spicy meme - be it raunchy or simply offensive - that really gets our proverbial rocks off. And if the naughty memes have to do with one of our obsessions? Even better. As many of you (if not all of you) are well aware, we're huge fans of The Lord of the Rings books and movies, and the memes that they inspire. So when we came across a meme page that…

Greetings, compadres. We've got some great news. Everyone can stop whatever they're doing and rejoice because everyone's favorite day of the week is upon us. That's right, it's Tolkien Tuesday . If you know, you know, but if you're new around here, then prepare yourself for an extra dank collection of all the best Lord of the Rings memes the internet has to offer. If you haven't seen the movies? Well, that's a crime that can never be forgiven. Still, there's something for everyone in this batch…

I have an apology to make. I failed you last week. There was a meme gallery-sized void in our schedule, and it belonged to our weekly edition of Tolkien Tuesday. And that's because my immune system failed me in a similar manner. You see, I was delirious. Not with Covid-19, but with something less known and perhaps more sinister. Much like when Gandalf tussled with the Balrog, darkness took me and I strayed away through thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and every day was as long as a life…
