Wow! What an unexpected surprise! You made my day. Charlie, don't rush through the film. Once it's over, it's over. And I don't want it to be over. Please.
Indeed. John Rhys Davies auditioned to play the Steward of Gondor and was more than surprised, being a big bloke, to be offered the role of Gimli the Dwarf instead. Looks a bit dwarfy, TBF.
@@PaIaeoCIive1684honestly, they might’ve given him the role of the dwarf in the fellowship *because* he’s such a big guy. Since dwarves are slightly taller than hobbits, this meant that they could have Gimli stand next to the hobbits and already have them all at the right height, without needing to use forced perspective, doubles, or cgi like for the human-sized characters
Gandalf impersonating Boromir is hilarious. I could just chalk that one up to Gandalf's wizardry instead of them all being played by Charlie, and it would still work perfectly. And I love Gandalf's complete disdain for Pippin. The guy hobbit just can't catch a break with him, can he?
One of the best so far. The part with Saurman trying to chat up Lurts had me crying laughing. Also Boromir trying to lead in with "Have you ever been called home by the ringing of siver trumpets" 🤣omg
Watching the lord of the rings movies is like going to a art museum and seeing priceless art then you see the children's hand painting section where you see the rings of power hanging out
"how do you they'd spoil them?" "I didn't want them buying them expensive things, or giving them sugary treats that will rot their teeth" (Nice cameo from Willy Wonker's dad who's a dentist)
Actually, Galadriel did offer you biscuits. The best biscuits in the world, known as Lembas bread. They may not be biscuits in the American savory scone sense or the British desert cookie sense, but that are biscuits in the sense of old fashioned "twice cooked" ship's biscuits that are made to be hard and durable enough to stay good for many months for long voyages.
I absolutely love everything about all of your videos. One of the things that tickled me so much was baby doll Elrond!!! Bring him back please 😭😭 I loved how random it was and it just made his commentary so much funnier
When Boromir is trying to avoid talking about what happened with him and frodo. I was instantly reminded of Anakin and Qui Gon LMAO 🤣🤣 I can't wait for more, keep up the good work Charlie! 👍
Glad to have these back... When/if these finish will look forward to The Hobbit... then maybe the animated versions of these, if we are that fortunate. Also wouldn't mind some LotR and Star Wars cross overs. Happened to come across the Obi-Wan and Grand-Elf reacting to LotR with ligh sabers. Liked the dynamic.
Same here. Both have physical bodies which can be killed but both are immortal. Gandalf the Grey sacrificed himself killing the Balrog in Moria but his noble act meant he was reborn in a new body as Gandalf the White. Much like a Time Lord, I thought in the early 80s.
@@knight9806 He'd have been excellent, and isn't too proud to do 'low brow' media as opposed to theatre for instance (he was in Coronation St after all). I was pleased Capaldi became a Doctor as he's also a good 'older' Who, and I returned to watching it, but oh dear the awful scripts and 'messaging' were starting then.
@@knight9806 Yes, that was hideously sickly I recall. Can't imagine Tom Baker or even McCoy coming out with all that guff. He'd already gone along with the wokeness insertions in earlier episodes though, the multiracial Victorian London episode where he said London's 'always been like this but they lied about it' for example. At least there weren't the full-on DEI lectures of the next two 'Doctors'.
@@johngarrett5189 I have the most beautiful woman in the entire world. She sat with me every night while I was recovering from surgery, and while I was breaking down from holding up the company because my boss was dying in bed and his children needed someone to help them. She lost 30lbs so she could be 110 and make me happy every day when I get home from saving the world. I have never seen a human being with so much grace, mercy, love, and sacrifice. She is the sun in my sky and when I speak her name angels cry because it's impossible to be in the presence of someone so beautiful without falling to pieces. I hope that some day you get to experience what I have. She is my other half, the piece of my soul that I've been missing and praying for every day of my life. She is perfect. She is my treasure. She is my beloved and I don't deserve her. I'll pray for you. God is good and he loves you too. While you're here, the bible says that God reveals himself to everyone at some point. This is your moment. You can never again in the entire rest of your existence say that he didn't try to show himself to you. Have a nice day.
I respect Gandalf keeping it clean and sticking up for his old buddy when she’s not there. Almost makes up for the 17 years he spent procrastinating on the destruction of the ring. Although it’s very possible he was just mad he didn’t think of commenting on that implication himself.
I don't know exactly what it is, but something about the "Dude", I mean Gandalf, makes me laugh. Not always & not often that hard, but every once in a while (per Ep) I have a full on belly laugh, the kind that hurt. Peace & 1LOVE
Yeah, that Old Toby pipe-weed the hobbits were using at Isengard sent them as high as kites. Gandalf could handle pipefuls of skunk pipe-weed and still cast spells though.
I don't know why he would say that when Gandalf very clearly is described as smoking from a pipe. Didn't hear any mention of rolling papers at all, since those were only invented in the 19th century, and only became popular in the 20th. Before that it was pipe or cigar, whatever you were smoking.
@@justforever96 Very true -- and any character lighting a fag or reefer would've been wrong. Gandalf chugs on a pipe a few times in the films, as do a few others -- Radagast has definitely got narcotics in his from his reaction. The elves don't indulge in the filthy habit of mortal men, but you don't see orcs smoking either -- apart from when their corpses are burned.
Weird I haven't seen an ad in years. Because I, you know, pay a small fee each month for the service and to support the work of the people who make the videos, that way I don't have to whine about how annoying it is to watch ads on the content that was created and provided to me for absolutely nothing.
@@justforever96 Hey, I also don't see ads--because I block them. Then I support the creators directly, instead of supporting TH-cam constantly trying to screw them over.
13:25 Galadriel meant *Sauron* here though, yes? That’s how I always thought it because if it was a reference to *Boromir* directly, then it was a similar way of saying stuff as in some soap opera dramas (which I do think that the trilogy are not).

Yo, by the time the fellowship react to the ring being destroyed I'll be like 2 or 3 years older 😂
@@thefightoffaith that's okay lol
Hey, what happened to Elrond?!
Did he grew up ☺️
(Black speech) WHERE ARE MY ENT-SLUTS T-SHIRTS?!!!
Is Kelly Stevens a real person?
I love how Aragorn in these videos is like the super successful friend but still wants to be involved but too busy to actually be there
"i bet it was Pippin!"
Gandalfs beef with Pippin is somehow my favorite aspect of these. 😅
🤣
after watching how gandalf was with galadriel in the hobbit, it becomes clear why celeborn wanted to "speak" with him...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The idea that Galadriel was just screaming f**k in Legolas’ head the whole time is hilarious
Psychic Tourette's, that's rough
This episode was everything I needed today. I truly hope Ian McKellan watches coz I think he’d love it!
Thank Charlie
Wow! What an unexpected surprise! You made my day. Charlie, don't rush through the film. Once it's over, it's over. And I don't want it to be over. Please.
Oh my, the “Not Eowyn “ line caught me off guard. But I get it.😂😂😂😂
But she'll bring soup?
@@newtpondskipper I know right 😀
Eowyns better than those pointy eared weirdos galadriel and arwen though 😂
"I was trying to look for a flashlight! And where I'm from, BBC stands for British Broadcasting Corporation" 😂 Nice try Boromir
Flashlight? 😮
Proving the lie: don't they call them torches?
@@sofa_king_kool Indeed. :)
Who would've thought Gandalf did a better Sam impression than Charlie.
exactly 22:53 :)
That's because Sam's now a potato, and the vocal chord anatomy of a potato is very different to that of a hobbit... Gandalf explained it better 😂
“Love is mingled with grease.”
“Grief!” 🤣🤣🤣
“Looks like a bunch of trees to me”
“That’s what an Elven city is”
Tree hugging knife ears…
Wood elves are even worse than the druchii.
This is the best thing ever!
Such a great concept and so well done.
Thanks
Aragorn with the head tilt crown drop
"My father is a noble man" - well, at least he is played by John Noble
😂 good point! Can we really call somebody noble who has table manners like that?
Indeed. John Rhys Davies auditioned to play the Steward of Gondor and was more than surprised, being a big bloke, to be offered the role of Gimli the Dwarf instead. Looks a bit dwarfy, TBF.

“Toe-may-toes!” Samwise

Theres an angry squid outside the door 😂
The “get out!” 😂
That was a really mean trap if you ask me. How could you not jump at such a great set up.
@@jasperzanovich2504Gandalf was just mad he didn't say it first!
This is honestly one of the best episodes you've done! So many laugh out loud moments 😂
One of the best so far. The part with Saurman trying to chat up Lurts had me crying laughing. Also Boromir trying to lead in with "Have you ever been called home by the ringing of siver trumpets" 🤣omg
I know. My favorite was him asking “have you ever been to Disney World?”.
Thank you charlie, sister, and friend
Thanks Chris!
Charlie Hopkinson doing an impression of Gandalf, doing an impression of Boromir?!? Great stuff.
I feel bad for how Boromir has become such a punching bag lately.
Am I the only one that noticed how deformed the deepfake looked also? Looking a little battle worn 😂
Although it does make it all the better when he gets a good dig in at the others!
Lately?
Gandalf not only has the power to turn lights on and off.
He does really great impersonations of the other characters!
Amazing.
Watching the lord of the rings movies is like going to a art museum and seeing priceless art then you see the children's hand painting section where you see the rings of power hanging out
The whole ‘who tried to take the Ring from Frodo?!’ Is strikingly similar to when Qui-Gon is oblivious to what Anakin did in Episode III…..! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gets better and better every time 😂. I look forward to these more than anything else on TH-cam
Charlie - keep up the great work man! These are literally my favorite thing to watch on You Tube these days!
Saruman is my favorite member of the watch party. So great to see him and Gandalf getting along.
2 in a single week, bless you Charlie.
The Boromir reaction shot to "...or fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin" was amazing.
Double gandalf days are good days
Boromir reacting to Gandalf’s “who’s trying to take the ring” was freaking hilarious!!!! Holy cow!
How in love with Legolas Gimli is, and how fed up with Gimli Legolas is, is hilarious.
LOL
"Shire doobies and greasy love."
Oh, and Boromir's browsing history revealed.
"how do you they'd spoil them?"
"I didn't want them buying them expensive things, or giving them sugary treats that will rot their teeth"

Biscuits aren't just desert cookies but savoury too. Americans call hard tack crackers.
@@mandowarrior123 Yeah they literally said that. Do YOU want a cracker Polly?
I like dessert cookies but I've never tried a desert cookie. I imagine they're a bit too dry.
@@RickRando001 Arrakis cookies
"Desert Cookie" perfectly captures the Britscuit experience
"THIS is for my old gaffer" very good Charlie very good. Tom would approve.
about time, the true story deserves more attention than fan fiction
"Whatever happened to Jon Snow?"
"I've heard he's running a pizzeria in Middle Earth."
"I was searching for a flashlight" had me on the floor. Classic!!
By far my favorite series they put out, always guarantees a good laugh 😂
so much brilliantude in the writing of this.
I can’t believe how fast these go by!
Finally these came just on time. I have waited for these. Thank you Charlie 😊
Spoiling us these last two days Charlie… thank you for this , cracks me up every time ✌️🇮🇪
having Saruman taking care of the plants is such a great wink
Just watched all the films again, now I’m ready to watch this lol
Charlie, you're a comedic genius. I never miss an episode.
Well good luck because Galadriel is turning green and blowing wind around the place
I absolutely love everything about all of your videos. One of the things that tickled me so much was baby doll Elrond!!! Bring him back please 😭😭 I loved how random it was and it just made his commentary so much funnier
please dont stop making these ! awesome !
Yessssss! I’ve been waiting for these videos to come back. These are so funny
You can say that Gimli...has tunnel vision 😂
thanks for posting Charlie!
I spit out breakfast at 7:07! Boromir is hysterical
Charlie rocking the Mink 😂 where you getting the funds mate
Gandalf: " How do you perfect them?"
Saruman: "Whey Protein"
When Boromir is trying to avoid talking about what happened with him and frodo. I was instantly reminded of Anakin and Qui Gon LMAO 🤣🤣
I can't wait for more, keep up the good work Charlie! 👍
Glad to have these back...
When/if these finish will look forward to The Hobbit... then maybe the animated versions of these, if we are that fortunate.
Also wouldn't mind some LotR and Star Wars cross overs. Happened to come across the Obi-Wan and Grand-Elf reacting to LotR with ligh sabers. Liked the dynamic.
Bah ek that wah funnie. Boromir definitely my fav character lol.
Thank you for doing this. You're briliant. 👌
As a kid I interrupted Gandalf s line of 300 lifetimes as The Doctor in his 300th incarnation, no wonder he chills in the shire😅
Same here. Both have physical bodies which can be killed but both are immortal. Gandalf the Grey sacrificed himself killing the Balrog in Moria but his noble act meant he was reborn in a new body as Gandalf the White. Much like a Time Lord, I thought in the early 80s.

11:53 got me in tears 😂😂😂😂
It's absolute gold, but the Sam "O" face... I gotta go back and see that again.
No wonder Galadriel was tempted by Sauron and/or the ring. Treebeard, Pippin and the Mouth of Sauron all have more rizz than Celeborn.
22:28 I love how Gandalf quotes Gollum to burn Sam.
I'm hoping for a third season of Rings of Power so we can see the grumpy old donkey fart and his fellowship react.
Charlie…your Gimli is sublime. So so funny. I love his wistful sentiments towards Legolas!
I've watched a few of these now and I can't help but notice that Tom and Charlie look uncannily similar.
I'm glad Saruman only appears to explain himself. He's the best part but it could get old quickly if he were there the whole time.
Some of the puns/one-liners in this episode were genius...
Personal favourite was Galadriel Fever - the kissing disease
Terrific
Lacking real LOTR, this is the new real LOTR. I've played Lotro for 17 years and I know canon when I see it.
You need a girl,mate.

Nice to see Gandalf's diversity training paying off
Pmsl at Gandalf ordering a takeaway to Moria 😂
He'll have to pay a big tip seeing as there's an 'angry squid' at the door.

Love
It man!!
1:54 OMGoodness hahahah that was me on more than one occasion. Its funny to think about how long it takes anyone to notice.
You have to do a short of Boromir's browser history. I nearly died choking on my coffee.
Same! 🤣🤣🤣
youd think she'd want the ring, it was a creation of her one true love Sauron after all
Best one yet!❤❤
Of all the feats in LoTR, Boromir eating with his neck is among the most impressive
That Legolas bit 11:55 🤣😂Awww they won't cancel Gandalf now.
Gandalf sounding like Anakin really hurt my head 😂
