It's Tuesday again, do you know what that means? That's right, it's time for your weekly dose of stupid Lord of the Rings memes. This week, we're steering clear of trending formats (cough The Weeknd cough). Instead, we're offering up some fresh-ish, general LOTR stupidity - as well as some old, gold and classic Tolkien-related reposts. Sometimes you just have to reject modernity and embrace tradition. 

Oh boy, buckle on up for some gaping plot holes. So many of us have been consumed by an unmistakable plot hole in a movie or book that we love at one point or another. It's like the writers just got a little bit lazy when it came to making sure that all the loose ends were tied off, or maybe they missed the plot hole altogether. Some of these are sure to strike a chord. 

Talk about an Incredible discourse. We can always count on the wandering minds of Tumblr to put their heads together, and churn out some real gems. This particular roundtable discussion centers on the infamous film, "The Incredibles." Maybe one of the best superhero movies of all time. So many easter eggs and intricate patterns throughout the film. The only question is how much of what's being discussed was intentional on the part of the filmmakers vs. pure coincidence? 

These funny movie synopses feel totally wrong, but are sort of on point. They read like someone who just started watching movies for the first time badly trying to explain a plot. It's fun to try and think of other movies you can sum up in just a few sentences with crude reductionism. Beauty and the Beast? A young woman makes friends with some furniture and falls in love with her kidnapper. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Creepy rich guy lures families into a building and kills kids in front of their parents. Inception? A group of colleagues take some epic naps together.

Take a look at some of these hilariously bad (but not wrong) plot summaries, and if you want more funny movie-related content, try this!

Okay, before you get mad at us for indirectly insulting the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, just hear us out. Without those 418 hours of boring dialogue and confusing plot holes, we wouldn't have the sea of dank prequel memes we have today, so in a way we're giving George Lucas a compliment. You're welcome. Whether you're a fan of the prequels or not, we're sure you'll enjoy these funny memes full of Star Wars lore.

We'd watch it. We also would just like a moment to thank photoshop for existing and for people who decide to create such random works of art. The internet wouldn't be the same without those people. 

For some reason, someone out there has decided to take the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films and replace the dinosaurs within them with giant ferrets. We're not even mad about it, we'd absolutely watch this new franchise in a heartbeat! 

Giant ferrets just quadrupled our hearts for these adorable fuzzy cuties. Who wouldn't want a park full of giant, possibly ferocious, ferrets to hang with?

This quick Tumblr thread honors the cinematic achievement that was Night At The Museum. At the very least, if you haven't seen it, you might feel like giving it a go after checking out this recap. Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt was definitely a solid move. 

Whether it's Toy Story, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, or Moana that you fancy out of the big-name Disney films, we're pretty sure this collection of memes has a little something for everyone. And if you're craving some Disney content that's a little more unsavory, eBaum's World's got ya covered.

Anyone else feel like their meme standards have taken a nose dive of late? Political fatigue and a general contempt for the world seem to have skewed our taste towards the very dumb. This past weekend we were graced by meme that easily meets this very low criteria. According to Know Your Meme, the trend began on 4chan, after a user shared a still of Paul Allen (Jared Leto) in American Psycho. The intentionally miscaptioned still reads  "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!," to which another 4chan user replies "He didn't say that." After other users chimed in, the thread grew to over 100 replies. And now it looks like it made an impact in the memeosphere.

Following the 4chan thread, the format started to pop up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Users seemed to be scrambling to create (and share) the incredibly stupid and easy-to-make memes. Even gamers got in on the joke, creating their own versions for releases such as Death Stranding and Final Fantasy. While it's hard to present these memes as the "best" of anything, they're pretty damn entertaining. Here's hoping we see more dumb and easy content in the coming months. This year needs all the help it can get.

When a fandom gets too big, it can develop its own set of weird rules and become toxic. All of a sudden you have people who all like the same thing judging each other over certain parts of that thing they like. Sometimes the fandom itself is obnoxious to people who are minding their own business, making it even harder to associate yourself with that thing you like. For a more fun look into fandom, here's a tumblr thread on how Darth Vader is the queen of drama.

Remember the days when we could watch movies in the theater without a care in the world? Our biggest worry was which size popcorn to get (large obviously) or where to sit (back row, middle seats, duh). But those days are distant memories, and who knows when we'll be allowed back into theaters. We wouldn't even mind the obnoxious idiots who talk throughout the movie, or who have their phones on loud—just bring back normality, please! Joining us in movie theater nostalgia is writer Mike Ginn, who recently tweeted: "The thing I miss most about movie theaters is overhearing someone say the dumbest f—king thing I've ever heard before the previews start." His tweet went viral, and he received thousands of replies from people, all sharing the dumbest things they've overheard at the movies. What's yours?

We've all seen this meme, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio laughing while holding a drink in the movie Django Unchained, floating around the internet. It's being used to exhibit some of the best classic dad jokes, and we're here for it. Enjoy!

Mr. Bean was one of those classic 'I don't know why this is funny, but it just is' shows. For a guy who barely spoke, he somehow managed to make everyone laugh, which is a particular skill that not many actors or comedians have. So how about a little reminder of how funny Mr. Bean was, with some pictures of his face photoshopped onto famous Hollywood characters, that someone somewhere had the ingenuity to create? Somehow these are almost as funny as watching him on TV, so my conclusion is that his humor is in his face. What do you think?
