I really hoped it wouldn't come to this. After months of refusing to take a stance, and weeks of watching, I have to say that I have a bone to pick with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. My expectations were never particularly high, but I was initially enraptured by the show. Amazon did way better than I thought they would. It soon became clear that the beauty of the series trumps the writing. I may have been able to overlook it at first, but the writing is straight-up bad. It's rife w…

Alright, y'all. You can stop what you're doing and rejoice because even though it's not Tuesday, we've got a big bunch of Lord of the Rings memes that we wanna share with you. As much as we love sharing the freshest Tolkien-related memes possible (on a weekly basis), sometimes it's nice to enjoy some old and gold classics like the memes in this gallery. While we're definitely enjoying Lord of the RIngs: The Rings of Power, it's also refreshing to scroll through memes that are free of both spoil…

Happy Tuesday, nerds! We're back in the work saddle and not really enjoying it. But thems the breaks. At least we're completing our favorite assignment: collecting a wealth of Lord of the Rings memes for people who really like Lord of the Rings memes . We know many of you are against Amazon's foray into the world of Middle-Earth, but alas - there's no escaping the memes. Some are just against the show, others use its stills to comedic effect. If you're avoiding very minor spoilers or simply can…

Well, here we are. We've finally entered that ambiguous period of time in between summer and fall: after Labor Day and before September 21st , the official First Day of Fall TM . If your brain is still school-pilled, you're likely thinking that summer is definitely over by this point. However, if you're a Gregorian calendar stan and a lifelong intellectual, you're still basking in the glory of the hottest and most gorgeous season. You aren't bound to the laws and standards of the educational sy…

Welp, it happened. I watched The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power . And despite my low hopes (which have nothing to do with the cast) and disdain for Amazon, I really, really enjoyed the first two episodes. They were beautiful, compelling, and exciting - and Galadriel is nothing short of a badass. As a huge fan of the incredible trilogy from Peter Jackson (not The Hobbit, y'all), it's easy to be skeptical of new media that is based on Tolkien's work. And while we can't say it measures up co…

There's no shortage of discourse concerning race and Amazon's just-released series, T he Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The program, which has premiered to largely favorable reviews, introduces characters of color to T olkien's stories - a move that has sadly led to a ton of backlash, even in what are normally lighthearted meme communities. It seems that quite a few fans of Tolkien's work happen to think that there were no people of color in his world - allegedly because the tales were…

Greetings, friends of Memebase. It's Tuesday, which means we've got just over three days left of our weekly suffering. It also happens to mean that, yet again, we are serving up a double-dose of largely stupid and moderately funny Lord of the Rings memes. We've searched the hallowed halls of Facebook, Reddit, and even Instagram, just to find the funniest and freshest LOTR memes available - just for you. This is no easy feat, as people have been prolific with making Lord of the Rings memes. I've…

“You employed the use of a double negative in the title of this article. It shows a command of the English language that is subpar at best and frightening at worst.” If some variation of that thought ran through your head when you read this headline, you're a regular Young Sheldon. Or you're adult Sheldon; knowing pedantic weirdos, you're probably an adult Sheldon. Young Sheldon is at least cute enough to find slightly bemusing, but regular old elder millennial Sheldon can be a real irritating…

Aragorn is how old?

There is a lot going on right now in the realm of fantasy television. This past Sunday, HBO debuted its Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon. It's been receiving good reviews - and enticed a whopping 10 million viewers during its premiere, making it HBO's largest premiere in history. Next on the roster? None other than The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The show has inspired a lot of discourse, and obviously, a whole lot of memes. Both the shows include BIPOC actors, and a…

Welcome back to another exciting edition of Tolkien Tuesday . For those of you who are new, Tuesdays are when we (Memebase) provide you (whoever you are) with a selection of the best Lord of the Rings memes to have graced our feeds in the last week. The internet has been abuzz with LOTR news, and while there's plenty to be seen (and memed about), it's recently come to our attention that Peter Jackson almost got hypnosis to forget making our most beloved movies. Why? Because he wishes he could w…

Heads up: I'm a millennial. As a small child I used to play in the dirt, create morbid stories starring my American Girl Dolls, and play old Star Wars games on the family PC. Memes didn't exist, and I didn't have access to the internet. Many Boomers take pride in the fact that their means of entertainment were extremely analog when they were youths, but I don't. It's actually my belief that memes would have enriched my younger days. I mean, it's obvious that being exposed to memes as a kid woul…

As a nearly-constant internet user, I often wonder how much reading I do that's just on the internet. Sure, I might not read as much daily as I did when I was an English major, but these tweets and Tumblr posts have got to count for something, right? Allegedly, we read completely differently when using technology versus merely reading on paper. According to research, we skim more when reading online than in a paper book, even when reading e-books or PDFs of scanned book pages. I will admit that…

Greetings, friends. Great news. You can all stop whatever you'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 of LOTR memes , ev…

These are the tip top cosplays and costumes we saw at San Diego Comicon 2022. From the Marvel universe, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, fantasy games, and cartoons, there was everything you could imagine coming to life in downtown San Diego. Pop culture's best collection of weirdos, obsessives, and generally awesome individuals all gather in one place once a year. America's Finest City. Now let's go see what all the fuss is about.

Well hello again, nerds. Welcome back to another edition of Tolkien Tuesday - a chance for Memebase, Captains of the Internet to show our quality. Or,, honestly, lack thereof. We're serving up yet another collection of amusing Lord of the Rings memes and Tolkien-related stupidity. These nerdy memes are some of the most consistently funny tidbits on the internet, and because we're die-hard fans, we know they're also extremely fun to make. It's true: getting paid to look at and make memes is pret…
