When it comes critically-acclaimed fantasy epics, The Lord Of The Rings franchise has some of the biggest and most creative fans compared to other titles in the category. J.R.R. Tolkien's brilliant mind gave birth to such an imaginative and colorful world after all. Of course, Peter Jackson's visually-stunning The Lord Of The Rings film adaptation only helped pro𒈔pel the popularity of the series to astronomical proportions.

The fantasy epic was beautifully translated onto the silver screen which earned itself hundreds of awards in just three films. Given the series' massive success, it's only natural that fans would want to expand Tolkien's world in their own ways as well. Fans love placing their own twists to the The Lord Of The Rings lore and what better way to add some color𒆙 the story's dark tone than to insert some humor into it.

With that said, fans have come up with some ingeniously hilarious comic strips that are either disturbingly true or cleverly comedic. This ranges from odd yet funny logic in the film adaptation's plot to some distinct sidesplitting emphasis on the series' iconic characters. There's something about the humor in these The Lord Of The Rings parodies that never grows old.

Perhaps it's because fans don't expect to find humor in scenes that were supposed to be serious. It could also be because some parodies have so much blatant truth in them that they become ridiculous to a point of being undeniably humorous. Here are 19 The Lord Of The Rings co꧟mic strip parodies that could make any fan either chortle subtly or just laugh out loudly.

19 Isildur The Noto꧒rious Rebel 🦩

Aragorn didn't always had a stellar reputation prior to being crowned king but his old man Isildur was downright notorious, in the eyes of Elrond at least. The scene where Isildur refused to listen to Elrond was one of the most significant parts of the film. However, Isildur's impish tendencies makes for some good comedy fodder and this comic strip takes his rebellious natu🀅re to ridiculous proportions.

Don't count on Isildur to return any borrowed jewelry either.

Asking Isildur for anything, not even some measly gravy, doesn't seem to be a good idea regardless if he's being influenced by t🥃he evil powers of the ring or not. Unfortunately for Elrond, he had to learn this the har🐼d way. Perhaps Elrond should have used reverse psychology on Isildur for him to achieve a more favorable result.

18 ꦕ Gandalf The Grey's Famous Last Words 𒀰

Gandalf's popular quote has sparked numerous debate within the The Lord Of The Rings fan commu﷽nity. Some fans swore that they could still hear Gandalf saying “run, you fools.” However, others are convinced that he said “fly, you fools” instead. While some have explained that Gandalf meant to say the same thing, that didn't stop others from poking fun of the wizard's infamous wording.

Sometimes Gandalf forgets that he's the only one who has eagles.

This hilarious comic strip encapsulates that argument in a way that would make even Gandalf himself♏ chuckle. After all, Gandalf certainly knows a lot about flying in general given that he has an entire fleet of majestic winged beings at his disposal. We have to admit though that even the title of “G✅andalf, the lord of the flies” definitely has a ring to it.

17 Thou 🐽Shalt Not Pass My Offer

Gandalf has a plethꦇora of memorable quotes and we 💫can never have too much of them given his epic line delivery. Gandalf's venture into the mines of Moria gave birth to some iconic moments and of course, to some unforgettable lines as well. Another one that is always embedded into the hearts of fans is Gandalf's iconic “You shall not pass” line.

There had been dozens of variations and comical interpretations of this famous line that were made by the fans themselves.

However, using Gandalf's famous quote in everyday conversation is the best way to keep it alive and this cꦐomic strip shows the best way to do just that. Nothing says “this is an offer that you can't refuse” better than blurting out the line “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” to an unsuspecting recipient.

16 ⛎ Gandalf's Dwarf Logic

There are times when we fail to see even the most obvious of details but fortunately, Gandalf can bring light to such times♐. Gandalf's escapades into the mines of Moria have unearthed an intriguing mystery which is the disappearance of its dwarven inhabitants. Some might contest that the dwarves could have met their doom after an encounter with the monstrous Balrog.

However, the Gandalf in this comic prefers to point out the obvious instead.

Gandalf's humorous response does have some logical reasoning behind it given that dwarves barely reach half of G♉andalf's towering stature. The short-tempered dwarves were already vertically challenged but adding their stubbornness into the equation is a recipe for disaster, especially in the labyrinth that is the mines of Moria. Good work poi👍nting that out, professor Gandalf!

15 𒁃 The Fellowship Of One

The first entry of the The Lord Of The Rings saga titled The Fellowship of the Ring has set the tone for the trilogy by introducing some of the series' vital moments. One of these key moments is when the fellowship was initially established. This is the scene where the main protagonists have🌜 devoted themselves to their common goal by symbolically offering their weapons as a sign of their loyalty and devotion.

It's as if their chances of success weren't bad enough as it is.

While this 🀅was a serious and ins꧅piring moment in the film, it's really tempting to turn it into comedy gold by taking its portrayal in a literal sense. In this comic, the heroes literally gave their weapons to Frodo so that the lone hobbit can finish their mission all by himself! Poor hobbit will likely meet his end early on but at least he'll go out in style wearing all that gear.

14 Hobbits Makeꦯ Good Bait

The epic tale of The Lord Of The Rings has so many interesting and colorful characters in it but the fan-favorite wizard Gandalf certainly stands out from the rest. A lot of fans argue what Gandalf's true intentions actually are and it's hard to discern too g💟iven his mysterious nature. However, it's hard not to question his sinister motives when he employed the aid of four hapless and clueless hobbits and sent them straight to their death sentences.

Yup, employing three harmless and expendable hobbits sounds about right.

Of course, Gandalf would probably give a long and detailed lecture on the purity and agility of hobbits that make them the idea𓆉l members of their team. Perhaps it's also because he puts a lot of faith in their abilities and chances of survival. Regardless, this comic serves as a hilarious take on what's considered as the point of the story.

13 ♏ Fab Thranduil

We all know Thranduil for his cold demeanor and of course, his fabulous long-flowing blonde hair. It's only fitting for an elf leader like Thranduil to flaunt his superior elvish physique but nobody, not even his son Legolas,🐓 could've g♛uessed his aspirations of becoming an Instagram superstar! Thranduil wants to remind everyone where Legolas got his fabulous looks and photogenic elvish genes.

Now that's what you call a fabulous elfie!

Thꦡe detail in this comic is hilariously bonkers as it even shows Thranduil's ridiculous hashtag usage along with the fact that only Aragorn and Arwe𝓡n liked his post. Thranduil could still give his son some pointers on embracing his fabulous tendencies. Unfortunately for Legolas, being an Instagram superstar doesn't even seem to be in his bucket list.

12 Aragorn Is A Savage 💫

The way Aragorn handled Eowyn's unrequited love was like giving a hard slap on the face of the poor Rohan shieldmaiden. In this comic panel, Aragorn was portrayed as being oblivious to his own romantic advances the whole ti꧂me. It's quite ironic for Aragorn to keep Eowyn's hopes up only to crushꦡ her heart into pieces in the end.

What makes this piece even more funny is that it doesn't stray that far from the actual scene. If the dramatic moment was෴ a lot less subtle in the film, this is exactly how it woul🅠d look like to both Aragorn's friends as well as the audience.

With that said, it's no wonder Eowyn demolished the notorious Witch-King. Eowyn's pent-up frust♛ration needs to be re-directed somewhere after all.

11 Live Long Like Elrond 🍸 🙈

Elrond is one of the most iconic and authoritative figures n the The Lord Of The Rings lore. Fans c𓆏ould instantly recognize Elrond from a mile away given his trademark looks which somehow resemble𓆉 a permanent scowl on his face.

Perhaps it's also because Elrond bears a striking resemblance to Spock from Star Trek.

Comics like this one give a comical yet amusing nod to fan theory that suggests Elrond is actually a visitor from outer space instead of a Middle-earth local. While this was done in jest, we have to admit that it's not that surprising if Elrond was an intergalactic alien given that he already speaks in a mystif🥃ying and exotic manner. In fact, some of Elrond's retorts have rendered even the wise and all-knowing Gandalf speechless.

10 M𒀰ount Doom Won't Be N💎ecessary

What makes Frodo's trek to Mount Doom such an impossible feat is that he had to personally bring the ring all the way there. What if Frodo didn't even had to go on a suicidal mission just to dispose of the ring? This comic treads on that funny notion of simply disposing the ring in a more practical and safe 𝐆method.

Hobbits are prone to having such ques🍬tionable hygiene and who knows how long have they not been brushing their teeth? Gandalf himself wouldn't even dare to touch Frodo's box that's filled with revolting, putrid-smelling teeth gunk. It's safe to say that Sauron won't even bother looking for his ring knowing thatꦡ its rancid smell won't be wearing off his fingers for a quite a long time.
