Lord of the Rings Humour: Parodies, Satires and More

Many people thought Gandalf's fireworks dragon was a digital effect - here's proof these do exist, taken on American Independence Night

I guess it looks a bit like a dragon at a certain angle...but still...it looks more like Santa's sledge being pulled by reindeer

I see the ring inscription!

Thats what i see Norc

Still doesn't look like a dragon

Are you new to Robot Chicken, Ally? That was my initial reaction to the show as well.

oh LOL! wtf xD

listen to the text. some time into the song:

..Mines a tale that cant be told,
My freedom I hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
Twas in the darkest depths of mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her....yea.
Aint nothing I can do, no.

There's a couple more LOTR lines in Zeppelin songs! For example, in the Battle for Evermore, there's mention of "Ringwraiths riding in black," and then there's the Misty Mountain Hop as well .
If you've ever seen "The song remains the same" (which is a Zeppelin concert movie) Robert Plants "dream" is VERY LOTR.

Losing your girlfriend to Gollum? Thats pretty poor, or careless.

precious, it's a metaphor.

Great song by a great band

That's a pretty awesome video Tin, thanks for posting it! I'd never seen it before. I'll have to watch the complete The Song Remains The Same some time.

I like bean the most.
this goes under more:

I wonder if Corey Olsen has found someone willing to accredit his website as a post-graduate level University yet.

Fake edit: According to his website he's still in the process of it but expects to hand out Masters degrees in spring 2013. Forgive me for being skeptical.

Well it would help my job prospects I guess...

Strangely enough in all the job interviews I have ever gone for no one has ever asked me if I am fully qualified in Tolkien. An oversight on their part I am sure you will agree.

If I could someone who wanted to pay me to research the history and politics of Middle-earth I'd be set for life.

Eldo, I will pay you $2.50/year, to do just that!

I bet thats less than Elthir would be offered. He has a Tower.

Yes, because someone made ownership of the Tower contingent upon winning an Award without asking its then-current owner.
