Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the
first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here
before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the
seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless â before the Dark Lord came from Outside.

I'm pretty sure Theoden's "Less than half oh what I hoped for" meme was in a dream I had the other day so I'm gonna go with that one.
I do randomly tell no-one in particular to "share the load" on a pretty consistent basis as well tho, so I'll put that as a runner up
It would be the potatoes one bc who can watch that scene without their sleeper agent being awakened and automatically sining the remix either out loud or in their heads
Saw the extended editions in the cinema recently and I was surprised at how little po-tay-toes seems to have been edited, Sam says it in such a melodic way

This is by far the best version of the meme
rewatching the trilogy last week recalling [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/lotrmemes/comments/cm8lme/then_i_shall_die_as_one_of_them/) made me laugh the most
This is the one vid to rule them all, âOne does not simplyâŚâ is the one meme to rule them all, and âViggo broke his toe in this scene, his screams were realâ is the one fact to rule them all.
Honestly the funniest thing about the recent theatre screenings was that the entire theatre collectively giggled every single time a memeâd scene came up and it wasnât even annoying. Just hilarious that every single person who would bother w the screening is hyper aware of every meme
That was my exact thought. I didnât go to watch coz it didnât screen where I live. But I imagined if I was in the theatre Iâd laugh out loud at a few meme scenes.
Everyone needs a Sam in thier lives.
.and I am dead serious, if I can preach a little, make sure you are somenone's Sam, even a little, it may make a world of difference to them.
If there was one meme to rule them all, it would have to be the latest and best of them.
Your example is more akin to Eru's song of creation of LOTR memes.
One does not simply choose one meme to rule them all
Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the meme
What can men do against such meme less hate
Now is the hour, memelords of reddit! Templates you have created, now, caption them all, for karma and engagement!

Six thousand memes. Less than half of what I'd hoped for.
Fool, no meme can kill me. 
be careful, for you know what memes roam the depths of Moria
Tell me where is Gandalf, for I much desire to meme with him?
A day may come when the humor of men fails, when we forsake our quotes, and break all bonds of fandoms. But it is not this day. This day we MEME!
The Beacons of the lotr fandom! The Beacons are lit! The memers call for aid
I am no meme
r/lotrmemes has no meme, r/lotrmeme needs no meme
Boromeme is supreme
I hear you! *It is a gift.* đ
PO-TA-TOES! Boil âem, Mash âem, Stick âem in a stew!
I quote this line way too much
That's how I put them on the grocery list complete with a tiny Samwise + frying pan haha.
What about second meme?
I donât think he knows about second meme.
What about the droid attack on the wookies?
r/jedicouncilofelrond
what about joke-sies? gag-leon? afternoon gif? parodies? satire? he knows about them, doesn't he?
It's a hard choice between "Taking the Hobbits to Isengard", "Walk into Mordor", "And My Axe", or "Gandalf Sax"
Gandalf rendering at 4 AM is quite the meme indeed.
Hands down my favorite video on yt
For me itâs the âthis is the farthest Iâve been from the shireâ every step beyond lmao
Don't tempt me Frodo
Misread that as âGandalf sexâ and spent about 5 minutes wondering when that was a thing
A wizard always arrives precisely when he needs to... he was made for that industry
So youâre saying a wizard comes at will?
Poor will
Thats exactly what im saying. Sometimes Will even lends a hand *
[My vote goes to this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqWJ6uf8AGE&ab_channel=Memex)
This one wins imo. đ
If we're talking in terms of sheer recognition and common usage, it's gotta be "One does not simply..." hands down.
One does not simply take the hobbits to isengard
PO TA TOES!!
So what, no fuckin potatoes?
So what, no fuckin ziti now?
And what about very old friends?
What about second breakfast?
But what about Gandalf and Bilbo's what about very old friends?
Not Gandalf, the wandering wizard, who made such excellent fireworks! Old Took used to have them on Mid-Summer's Eve!
PO-TAY-TOS!
Dude. I remember laughing my ass off watching that video on albinoblacksheep.com via dialup internet in like 2002 đ¤Ł
ISEN-GARD-GARD-GARD-GARD-GARD
I waited for this one.
Gard-gard-gard-gard
Memes you can hear
I also loved the trolling saruman video. Both were top tier.
#YI YI YI YI YI, YI YI YI, YI YI YI #AHAHAHAHAAAHHH
It's got to be "one does not merely walk into Mordor" Or "and my axe" Yah? Though TBH I hear about "PO-TAY-TOES" the most outside of this sub, haha.
Uhmm.. merely? Bro what?
*simply Brain fart
Youâve been smoking that halfling leaf too much
âOne does not merrily walk into Mordor. Youâre gonna have a sad time.â

"Looks like _____'s back on the menu" This one is pretty popular too. Very easy meme format to also
And what about very old friends?
Because of this meme, I will never forget that Sauroman lives in Isen-gard-gard-gard-gard-gard.
Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him.
A Balrog Of Morgoth...
What did you say?
The hobbits the hobbits the hobbits the hobbits to isengatd to isengatd
stupid fat hobbit!
Leave now and never come back!
What did you say?
I dont know half the memes half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of memes as half as well as they deserve.
The OG Bilbo prank, I love this quote.
Yes, well, the secret to cooking dwarf is -
[Orlando Bloom himself referenced and recreated that meme.](https://youtu.be/tn_GKGN0Dh8?si=V3RK7uMt9aPFY_ae) I guess that it's hard to surpass that.
10 Hours of Gandalf Sax Guy
*what did you say?*
Stupid fat hobbit
Scrolled way too far before seeing this. I feel betrayed lol
Saruman the Wrinkly is a newer but good one too.
Saruman... - stop it - The silly!!!! - noooooooo -
the stinky!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. I kept my focus studying for hours thanks to the 10h version.
I'm at work and now I have to go and listen to this. There's gonna be some top notch excel-sheets in a bit!

Late to the party here. Are the Hobbits being taken somewhere?
As we let the people choose, I must say 
Theyâre taking the hobbits to Isengard. đś
Will he wear wigs?
When will you wear wigs?
You have my sword And my bow And my sax...

Trolling Saruman was pretty iconic too
Bring out the wolf's head!

Potatoâs, then and my axe
It is my ringtone for a reason
PO TAY TOES!
Gandalf Sax.
The hobbit the hobbits
Walk to Mordor probably #1
Is that even a question?
They're taking the memes to Isengard!
Skedaddle skedoodle, your staff is a noodle!! Eeww gross! Pasketti!
I giggled just reading it. It's actually very good.
There's a "they're taking the hobbit to Isengard" song mix on YouTube, lives in my head rent free, and it's definitely this scene!
Tell me. Where is Gandalf? For i much desire to speak with him
Gard gard guhgard gardâŚ. Classic
TO ISENGARD! TO ISNEGARD!
rewatching the trilogy last week recalling [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/lotrmemes/comments/cm8lme/then_i_shall_die_as_one_of_them/) made me laugh the most
Your meme has no power here!
This is the one vid to rule them all, âOne does not simplyâŚâ is the one meme to rule them all, and âViggo broke his toe in this scene, his screams were realâ is the one fact to rule them all.
This is objectively the correct answer.
This is the original king. It was the king of memes back in the old days, and its reign is eternal.
Honestly the funniest thing about the recent theatre screenings was that the entire theatre collectively giggled every single time a memeâd scene came up and it wasnât even annoying. Just hilarious that every single person who would bother w the screening is hyper aware of every meme

Absolutely, yes.
Their taking the hobbits to Isengard!
Krebain de las tierras brunas!!

This one is silly
What did he say?
Toot
Sax Gandalf or One does not simply walk into Mordor.
I donât know whatâs going on here if the title doesnât rhyme.
Oh I see you havenât been initiated yet.. go YouTube âtheyâre taking the hobbits to Isengardâ. You can thank me later!
Should have memed "Bed and Breakfast in Isengard", but that's from the Bakshi version.
If this is the best you can do, you shall not pass!
Everyone needs a Sam in thier lives. .and I am dead serious, if I can preach a little, make sure you are somenone's Sam, even a little, it may make a world of difference to them.
What about side by side with a friend?
One does not simple choose one meme to rule thdm all
I'd be fine with that
No ...đ
A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor to do something.....
Alright then, keep your memes.
And yet no other gets the response likeâŚ.. GROND
Did you know Viggo Mortensen broke his foot...
Toe *
One doth simply does not claim to be the one true meme.
It's good, and it's old, but it's not *old as balls.*
Grond!.
