The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread

[Ealdwyn]

Someone here (Firawyn maybe?) was talking about looking at a display of the Professor's works in a bookstore, just after the first movie came out, when a couple of teenage girls came up, one of whom exclaimed "Oh look -- they've done novelization's of the movies already!".

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

I could imagine the following sad "joke" circulating among some Internet backways:

"Say, did you hear that someone wrote books about PJ's films?"

🤮

I'd go with , and then paraphrase some guy Bill from Stratford-upon-Avon:
"To explain or not to explain ..."

P.S. They probably also think Bill 'n' JRRT knew each other, maybe wrote letters to each other ...
Awks! Do these people know what letters are?

Azog played by Jerry the mouse - that would need some serious rewriting of the script.
Thorin's final confrontation with "Azog" would definitely make Thorin look bad - Jerry (almost) always wins in a way humiliating to his opponents; maybe for a Monty Python version ... 🥴

Don't ask me why, but I found this hilarious. As in, my wife asking me "what the hell are you laughing at?".

It's so matter-of-factly absurd

Like maybe,

A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk into a bar. The rabbit turns to the others and says "I think I'm a typo".

Did you begin to explain? Creating a real-life duplicate of EA's post? 😁
