What would a Family Guy parody of Lord of the Rings look like? What characters would map to other characters? How would certain scenes read? I can imagine Eowyn as played by Meg. She slays the Witch King: “I am no man!” “You’re not really a woman either.” “Yeah, what hell is she?” Stewie as Saruman? Peter as Aragorn? Stewie as Frodo and Brian as Samwise? ---

Mayor Adam West as Elrond. Louis has to be Galadriel. Quagmire is Giggity…er, Gimli. Joe Swanson is Boromir. ---

Chris as Frodo Brian as Sam Peter as Aragorn Stweise as Gollum Herbert as Gandalf Joe as Gimli Quagmire as Legolas? (not a great fit) ---

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > Joe would have to be Gimli. He’d have all the pride about not wanting to be helped across the chasm. No one tosses a cripple! I can see him as Boromir as well. In his last scene, orcs shoot him in his legs. ---

At some point they’d have to reference the horrible animation in the Bakshi movies. ---

I think South Park has already sewn this one up. Especially Butters as Gollum. ---

If her appearance in Star Wars was anything to go by, Meg will be the swamp monster outside the Gate of Durin. ---

Stewie has to be Sauron. But Sauron doesn’t have any lines, so they’d have to rewrite the source material. If they did though… Well, I don’t know. But Meg has to be the giant spider. ---

Who would Ollie the weatherman be? What about Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa? Ernie the giant chicken has to be the cave troll. Picturing James Woods as Aragorn. ---

Herbert as the Ent. “You little hobbits just climb right up onto my branches, now, y’hear?” I think Peter has to be Frodo, with Brian (his best friend) as Sam. Stewie would be Gollum. Sauron would be the head of the Giant Chicken. ---

> [@Tom\_Tildrum](#): > > Herbert as the Ent. “You little hobbits just climb right up onto my branches, now, y’hear?” LOL! There are too many possibilties for Herbert. I can see Stewie as Saruman.
