When you want something, do you just take it? Well, we don't. But during the incredibly long period of European colonialism, all bets were off. People are just now starting to talk about the problematic nature of the era, which has resulted in both ethical lessons and seriously funny history memes. We've put a few here for your enjoyment, but you can catch more history-related humor here and here.

Warm greetings to our fantasy-loving friends. We're back with another installment of our Tolkien Tuesdays series. It's exactly what it sounds like: a gallery of memes dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien's many masterpieces - and the movies they've inspired. We're offering a healthy mix of fresh Middle-earth content and some classic memes that the true heads are sure to recognize and appreciate. If you find yourself needing more, you can check out previous collections here and here.

We've been making things easy for you with our neatly packaged galleries of easy to comprehend Lord of the Rings memes. For a little change of pace we implore you to put on your thinking caps and exercise your eyes a bit more to enjoy these Tumblr gems. This gallery is still packed with Tolkien-y goodness, it's just got a much higher word count.

What do you get when you combine the latest meme formats with our immense love for Lord of the Rings? A whole lot of hilarious magic.
