If there is one a good film is known for, it's the quotes. And perhaps the king of all quotable films can be found in the popular series The Lord of The Rings, which has given fans some memorable and enjoyable quotes over the years. However, there is one quote in the series that rises above the rest: the ever-famous: YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS!
RELATED: Lord Of The Rings: 10 Best Gandalf Memes
Spoken by the awesome Gandalf the Grey, those four words have become immortalized not just in the film industry, but also in the world of memes. Here are 10 "you shall not pass" memes that fans love.
10 Sibling Rivalry
Siblings can be the worst sometimes. Whether it be brothers or sisters, there's always a sense of competition, with each sibling trying to be the best. Typically, the oldest sibling is the one with the most power and the youngest doesn't hold a lot of power or there is a power struggle.
DrMDGG demonstrates this sibling rivalry in a slightly more epic face-off than we're used to. For all we know, maybe Gandalf has a brother or sister of his own he's used to competing with. Probably not a Balrog, though.
9 Hold Up
This is one meme that has gained a fan base worthy of its own fellowship. Done and overdone more times than fans can count, this meme, spawned from a Gillette commercial, has come out in many different forms, so it's only fitting that one of the most popular memes meets one of the most popular fantasy series.
There's some great comedy that u/rrye23 brings to this meme, with Gandalf stopping the Balgrog with ease, just like in the film. And while the words aren't seen, you can still hear them.
8 Crossover
Crossovers are something everyone looks forward to - they're small yet satisfying events that happen once in a blue moon in the world of film. In the world of memes, however? Crossovers are everything and happen more often than one would expect.
Here, Gyptian expertly weaves together Area 51, Gandalf, and Frodo memes together in one beautiful image. The comedy behind not just the three memes, but the fact that they work so well together, sells the joke.
7 Professor Gandalf - Master Of Passing
In the world of fantasy, there's really only one other series that can compete with LOTR and that's Harry Potter. With a world just as immersive and intriguing, one can't help but wonder what a crossover could look like. Fans of both series need to look no further than this gem by an unknown user.
Having Gandalf as a professor at Hogwarts would be one of the greatest things in the world. Even if it's a strict teacher like the meme suggests, his lessons would be amazing to listen to.
6 Baby Yoda > Gandalf
Like with Harry Potter and LOTR, Star Wars is a juggernaut when it comes to the worlds of fantasy and sci-fi. And there is one creature in Star Wars that everyone seems to meme the most: Baby Yoda. This adorable green baby pops up in any kind of meme.
Wjones215 takes advantage of the little guy and turns one of his most epic moments into a nod and even prod at Gandalf. If anything, this meme just proves that Baby Yoda is better than Gandalf will ever be.
5 Homework Gone Wrong
Not wanting to do your homework is something every student can relate to. Instead of focusing on the task at hand, one might find themselves doodling and daydreaming, letting their imagination go. And sometimes, we let our imagination wander a little too far.
The creator of this meme probably had a similar experience and hoped they could get some extra credit with their hilarious drawing. Hopefully, they got an A on that assignment.
4 Gandalf.EXE Has Stopped Responding
Ever had that moment when you have something to say and then the moment your mouth opens, it's like your mental computer stops working? This can be pretty embarrassing for anyone, but for a film character? The mental image alone is enough to make anyone chuckle.
The actual image, by an unnamed creator, is a masterpiece on its own. It would have been a really funny blooper to see Ian McKellen pause halfway through his big moment.
3 One Does Not Simply Walk On Wet Floors
The worlds of fantasy and real-life are two worlds that will never collide. And yet, people can't help but dream up a brilliant world where the two not only coexist but thrive.
Sonicx3 shows us their version of fantasy and a modern-day world mashed together in this wonderful meme. Imaging Gandalf as a really enthusiastic janitor who yells at kids in the loudest voice possible to stay off the wet floors is something only dreams (and memes) are made of.
2 Teddy The Grey
Memes, for the most part, are designed to make people laugh, but every now and then, a creator like Dumpaday makes a rare meme. The meme is still funny but it also carries a heartfelt message.
Everyone has had some kind of favorite stuffed animal or toy. And while they may not have actually done anything to protect us, it made us feel safer and made sure the monster under the bed "did not pass".
1 We've All Been There
Picture this: it's seven o'clock on a school night and finals are the next day. Do you do the logical thing and study or watch a movie? Many of us would choose the latter option and fans of LOTR are no exception.
U/Varad says what's on everyone's mind the night before a big test. Whether it's a marathon of LOTR or some other film series, we'd rather spend time doing that instead of trying to pass Gandalf the Grey.
