While perusing Youtube, as is my wont, I happened across this gem of a Lord of the Rings parody. The humor is juvenile at some points…OK it’s silly and childish the entire way through, but there are a few points that made me cry laughing.

[LotR: the Potato Argument.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjbcBL4_Nlk&feature=related)

Highlights w/o spoiling anything:

-Gandalf’s first line

-Gimli. Just…Gimli.

-Aragon’s retort

-Elrond’s astonishingly bad voice ‘actor.’  
Since this is a film parody, perhaps it belongs in Cafe Society… but then again I thought this IS totally mundane and pointless. Mods, use your Rings of Power to move this where you see fit 😃

Extra bonus! [Boromir’s Incredible Invisible Banana Phone!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHCATe0Y4qM&feature=related)

I don’t think anyone will ever beat Jack Black’s parody.

Warning: totally NSFW.

Get rid of the space and you can watch it. Brilliant.
