"I cannot do this Sam." "I know. I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be in this quarantine. But we are. It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this sickness. Even this plague must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folks and doctors in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something." "What are we holding onto Sam?" "That there is a cure for this sickness Mr. Frodo. And it's worth being quarantined for."
💜 I had a very bad day. I felt so alone and just wanted a hug from a friend after I ve been socially distancing for about 2 weeks so far. I miss to hug my friends I miss my mom who I can not visit for it would be to risky for her, I miss hanging out with a bunch of people. I even miss over crowded streets and rude customers at work. After reading this, I feel better. All we have to do is keeping our distance and hanging out at home. At least we do not have to walk to Mordor 😅 Hannon le mellonin! Wish you, your family and everyone else health and happy thoughts. (Sorry for any misspellings or grammatical errors, I am from Germany 😅💛)
In Lotr backstory, in the past long before Frodo's quest there was event known as...the Great Plague (or Dark Plague) a deadly infectious disease which spread across Middle-earth: "The second and greatest evil came upon Gondor in the reign of Telemnar, the twenty-sixth king... a deadly plague came with dark winds out of the East. The King and all his children died, and great numbers of the people of Gondor, especially those that lived in Osgiliath." The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers: Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion ... "In the days of Argeleb II the plague came into Eriador from the Southeast, and most of the people of Cardolan perished, especially in Minhiriath. The Hobbits and all other peoples suffered greatly, but the plague lessened as it passed northwards, and the northern parts of Arthedain were little affected." The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers: Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur Art imitates life and as for centuries our world was plagued by epidemics and so it happens in fictional worlds of our imagination. And just like the fictional peoples of Middle-earth managed to survive and prosper once more so will the world now: "Beyond the Baranduin the Periannath survive, but suffer great loss." The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B, The Tale of Years: The Third Age ... "[The Hobbits] prospered and multiplied after the Dark Plague (S.R. 37)..." and so let this be message of hope.
Josh D No,I hate it when ignorant tankies like you claim to know This “hidden truth” that everyone’s too blind to see,like everything’s just some predictable chessboard of repeating events.
One does not simply walk into McDonald's. It's automatic doors are always shut. There are staff guarding that do not sleep, and their eyes are ever watchful of your steps. It is a desolate restauraunt, riddled with floor markings and sanitiser stations, so that the very air you breathe is covid free.
"I'd never thought I'd die side by side with an elf." "How about 1,6 meters apart with an elf?" "Aye, that would be responsible." Okay, I got to admit, I've seen this somewhere and just thought it would fit here, credits to the creator.
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your mask, there's no knowing what you might breathe in.”
me in 2021: "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it."
In the land of China, in the fires of Wuhan, the Dark Lord SARS forged in secret a master virus, to control all others. And into this virus he poured his coughing fit, his bat soup and his will to social distance all life. One Virus to rule them all. One by one. The free lands of Europe fell to the power of COVID 19 but there were some who resisted. The last alliance of doctors and nurses marched against the armies of corona and on the borders of Italy, they fought for the freedom of europe.
Outside world : "It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten-thousand men could you do this. It is folly.”
I enjoyed that too ^^. Hehe When we study vaccinations, viruses, etc we are able to make an educated choice for ourselves on what is best for us. Getting vaxxed or not is everyone's choice. We should respect one anothers choices, and not be unkind or cruel to those who chose differently than we do. It makes sense to know, and hopefully want to know, any and all information about what goes along with any choice we make for ourselves, and those we have charge over. To be educated with the proper information on what we do or do not put in our bodies, or do, and do not do to our bodies. Does that make reasonable sense? I suppose we could choose to give our trust to someone, their degree(paper) and not validate any claims. That is a choice too, but one me and my family are unwilling to make. I'd like the know more details on the studies and trials of all vaccinations. The amount of people tested. Their bloodtypes. The amount of people per bloodtype group. The epigenetics. DNA, RNA data etc. The vaccines effect on each blood type, as well as how many introductions to each vaccine were given, and how each person, with each type responded to the vaccinations. I would then like to know long term affects and studies. The data currently available via CDC and other .gov sources doesn't currently give enough for us to be vaccinated or take our families to get them, beyond what we've already received, some of us never having any. We stopped when my government position's vaccination mandate put me in the hospital in 2013. I've even been in the medical field, not required by law to get vaccinated. It never was law. I have notarized documents allowing me freedom. 0 doctor visits since even with travel. The personal data of myself, family, and the vast number of others living similar, is well more than enough data for us to make our conclusion vs the observable results witnessed in societies "pop" practices, and data given via cdc, fda, etc. Getting vaxxed or not Is less important than how much information, and what type of information we have vetted about that subject, the subject on the earth we live, or whatever subject is up for discussion. Let's be informed. Let's look into things for ourselves. Let's put in our own work, not being lazy, piggy backing on someone else's efforts. Let's above all be kind to those around us, love one a other, respect one another, regardless of the choices we make, or even if we are unwilling to seek, read, study for ourselves. Everyone has value regardless if and when we've been right or wrong. Blessings reader.
I’m a nurse in a care home a week into a probable outbreak of covid19. I arrived home from my night shift this morning feeling stressed and sad and scared, and I thought nothing would cheer me up. Bloody brilliant, thank you, I very nearly pissed myself laughing, especially the home delivery sketch with Thorin and Bard. Bravo!
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what *online courses* to do with the time that is given us.”
"I wish the quarantine had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." "So do I. So do all who live to see such times; but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the greed that comes with this disease. Bilbo was meant to be trapped in his home. In which case, you were also meant to be. And that is an encouraging thought."
"Do you remember the mall, Mr. Frodo?" asked Sam. "The shoe stores, the jewellery shops, the fashion boutiques? And there was a food court, where you could get Chinese, or Indian, or Italian if it took your fancy? And there was pepperoni on the pizza, and sausage if you wanted it too, and even anchovies?" "No, Sam," said Frodo", "I know that such things happened, but I cannot see them. No taste of food, no feel of soda, no sound of the PA system, no memory of shop or plaza or parking lot, no payments of cash or credit or debit card are left to me. I am naked, stuck at home, Sam, and there is no veil between me and the COVID virus. I begin to see it even with my waking eyes, and all else fades."
" Hold your ground! Hold your ground! Sons of Europe, of America and Asia, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of social life, but it is not this day "
"My brothers! I see in your eyes the same boredom that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the coronavirus fails! When we reunite with our friends and restore all bonds of fellowship! But it is not this day! An hour of cheers and shattered locks when the age of men rises up once more! BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY! THIS DAY WE STAY INSIDE! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you STAY HOME, men of the world!"
Who shall bring you your food, if all men stay inside?? I shall go forth & continue to brave this scary, dark place where most men fear to tread to bring you pork, beef & pistachio ice cream....
Loved the video, especially 'Reading your Diary'; 'we cannot go out, not even for Bingo'... and 'on a serious note'--how true: "the only reason to be afraid is if everyone's not in this together"
@@nemak89 technically yes, when the world was first created it was flat, and as different races were made, arda became more spherical to prevent the newer ones from getting into valinor (elves still could). This is a brief explanation for what happened and it somewhat explains why legolas could see so far away. Theres plenty of online articles discussing this subject if you wanted to look into it
"Its automatic doors are guarded by more than just security guards. There is evil there that does not sleep. And the vengeful Karens are ever present. It is a chaotic warehouse, riddled with scum, and rage, and disease. The very air you breath is a risk of infection."
This was the first belly laugh I've had since March, a distant different world..........Thank you Thank you so much! It's hitting us hard right now - friends in the hospital, virus at the gate....but we are holding on in the Texas Panhandle, and you Brits know how to make me laugh again.
Is there anyone who knows how to get this to Stephen Colbert? So he and his team can show it on TV? It is a master piece which should get much more attention! 😁
@@rollingthunder1043 same deal with "us" and "we", "he/him" and "she/her". Don't say "her and her friends did __" it's "she and her friends", because you wouldn't say "her did _". You should never say "us __ are __", such as "us Americans celebrate the 4th of July". It should be "we Americans celebrate the 4th of July".
This is comedy gold. And at first I thought it was the voice behind gandalf that did this... either I haven't seen LOTR in a long time, or this voice is spot on
5h0rgunn, I believe in you. One day, you will succeed. Ya know, just a couple weeks ago, I was doing some gardening and I asked my husband to help me. He was getting poked with thorns so I offered my glove. He’s much bigger than I, and when he tried the glove on, he said “it doesn’t fit...it’s too tight.” Without hesitation i said “oh just put it on, O.J.!” And laughed and laughed! I said “I’VE BEEN WAITING 24 YEARS TO SAY THAT!!!” 😂 My moment finally came. You will get your moment.
"Why did you send me out there?" "Oh... I needed my crossword..." lmao but I can assure you it is weekly LOTTO TICKETS they need, my god that argument lasted a solid hour.
As an American, I've had to Google 1/2 your jokes, and they are fricking hilarious LOL I hope one day I can do voices like you. I saw you years back doing MORGAN FREEMAN reads, and you have continued to grow and improve, Charlie. You are absolutely incredible, and more entertaining each year, glancing through your videos. You're an inspiration, mate.
"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing... such a little thing... Boromir! Give the virus sample to Frodo "As you wish... I care not"
Just found this and we’re all out of lockdown now and things are more or less back to normal but I feel like everyone is suffering some level of PTSD from the whole event… this was like a flashback 😂
Bilbo Baggins: Good morning. Gandalf: What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or perhaps you mean to say that you feel good on this particular morning? Or are you simply stating that this is a morning to be good on? Hm? Bilbo Baggins: All of them at once, I suppose. Gandalf: Hmm. Bilbo Baggins: Can I help you? Gandalf: That remains to be seen. I'm looking for someone to share in a quarantine. Bilbo Baggins: A quarantine? No, I don't imagine anyone west of Bree would have much interest in quarantines. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things. Make you run out of toilet paper. Heh, heh. Mm. Huh. Hmm. Oh. Ah. Good morning. Gandalf: To think that I should have lived to be "good morninged" by Belladonna Took's son as if I were selling emergency supplies at the door. Bilbo Baggins: Beg your pardon? Gandalf: You've changed, and not entirely for the better, Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins: I'm sorry, do I know you? Gandalf: Well, you know my name, although you don't remember I belong to it. I'm Gandalf. And Gandalf means... ...me. Bilbo Baggins: Gandalf? Not Gandalf the wandering telemarketer... ...who made such excellent hand sanitizer? Old Took used to have some on Midsummer's Eve. Heh, heh. Ahem. No idea you were still in business. Gandalf: And where else should I be? Bilbo Baggins: Where else...? Ahem, making more? Gandalf: Well, I'm pleased to find you remember something about me... ...even if it's only my sanitizer. Yes. Well, that's decided. It'll be very good for you (Bilbo looks at Gandalf confused) and most amusing for me. I shall inform the others. Bilbo Baggins: Inform the who? What? No. No. No... Wait. We do not want any quarantines here, thank you. Not today. Not... I suggest you try Over the Hill or Across the Water. Good morning.
People like you Charlie are the contemporary heroes, in a time of fear and loneliness, you have brought hundreds of thousands of people around a vast planet and oceans apart, together, in laughter, in writing, in communication, no barriers, no distancing... So thank you for brightening my day.
While on Mount Doom: Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the pre-quarantine, Mr. Frodo? It’ll be spring soon. And the shelves will be restocked. And the children will be testing in the public schools. And they’ll be sowing the summer wheat in the Mexican fields. And the restaurants will be open again... And wiping for the first time with Cottonelle Ultra. Do you remember the feeling of toilet paper? Frodo: No, Sam. I can’t recall the taste of food… nor the sound of flushing water… nor the touch of grass on the front lawn. I’m… coughing in the house, with nothing, no medication… between me… and Covid fire! I can barely see it... with my aching eyes! Sam: Then let us be rid of it… once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can’t vaccinate it for you… but I can social distance you!
Then coronavirus took me, and I strayed out of breath and time, and every day was as long as a life age of the earth. Cured, I was sent back until my task is done. I return to you now at the flattening of the curve.
"Where are you going?" "I ride North. To GuudandBaad. Are you coming with me?" "GuudandBaad! But, there's nothing there but bare shelves!" "The Dead shall not suffer the Living." "I have toilet paper." "The Dead have no need....wait, you have toilet paper?" "We cannot defeat it, Grand Dalf. We must join it." "Tell me. When did Sorry Man the Wise abandon treason for Herd Immunity?"
@@reeck771 It is Gundabad I think, but Gundabad is nowhere near Dunland. Gundabad is to the north of the Misty Mountains, while Dunland is right next to Isengard.
"What say you? Thorin TP Hoarder." Sometime tomorrow that will randomly pop in my head and some unfortunate bystander in the grocery store will inherit that name.
You're Gandalf impression is amazing, and the lines were so funny, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard and my family loved the video also.
AHAHAHA! I forgot about the spaghetti...and grandma's toenails, lol. This is so damn great, I watched LOTR and the Hobbit recently and immediately had to come watch these again. Got us through a horrible year, Charlie, thank you! Hope you are doing well, and Happy New Year!
Very well done! Though we have to be careful ... if people don't want the Covid-19 Vaccine, it doesn't make them an antivaxxer nor a flat-earther. Tried and tested vaccines have proven useful. A rushed Covid-19 Vaccine (when it becomes available)... Nah, I'll wait ...
"I cannot do this Sam."
"I know. I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be in this quarantine.
But we are.

"The second and greatest evil came upon Gondor in the reign of Telemnar, the twenty-sixth king... a deadly plague came with dark winds out of the East. The King and all his children died, and great numbers of the people of Gondor, especially those that lived in Osgiliath."

Art imitates life and as for centuries our world was plagued by epidemics and so it happens in fictional worlds of our imagination. And just like the fictional peoples of Middle-earth managed to survive and prosper once more so will the world now:
"Beyond the Baranduin the Periannath survive, but suffer great loss."
The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B, The Tale of Years: The Third Age
...
"[The Hobbits] prospered and multiplied after the Dark Plague (S.R. 37)..." and so let this be message of hope.

I would then like to know long term affects and studies.
The data currently available via CDC and other .gov sources doesn't currently give enough for us to be vaccinated or take our families to get them, beyond what we've already received, some of us never having any.

And there was a food court, where you could get Chinese, or Indian, or Italian if it took your fancy? And there was pepperoni on the pizza, and sausage if you wanted it too, and even anchovies?"
"No, Sam," said Frodo", "I know that such things happened, but I cannot see them. No taste of food, no feel of soda, no sound of the PA system, no memory of shop or plaza or parking lot, no payments of cash or credit or debit card are left to me. I am naked, stuck at home, Sam, and there is no veil between me and the COVID virus. I begin to see it even with my waking eyes, and all else fades."
Whoa, and what happens to them next Sir Wizard? lol
Wunderfull....
I never even went to the mall before this madness, now I feel tempted because no more crowds lol
That was greatly written!!!
...all of sounds opinionions and fines..signifying....nothing.
" Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
Sons of Europe, of America and Asia, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of social life, but it is not this day "
This day we fight!
@@QuynhNguyen-ep1fp This day we stay inside!
This day we social distance!
What about africa and ocenia lol
@@ArtilleryAffictionado1648 it matters not where you come from, friend, for the pathogen does not differentiate!
This voicing is disturbingly good
That last part on the serious note was actually quite touching. Now this needs to become popular!
The bit about the curry didn't clue you in?
Call that social distancing ? You got too close to Grandma and now she's fallen down that well. Lol rolling on me floor.
MOGAPLUS GAMING 🤣1.98 cm😂
I done fainted from this.
Haven't stopped laughing yet! It hurts!
I literally cried with laughter. Brilliant.
@@TrNdke hahaha
"My brothers! I see in your eyes the same boredom that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the coronavirus fails! When we reunite with our friends and restore all bonds of fellowship! But it is not this day! An hour of cheers and shattered locks when the age of men rises up once more! BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY! THIS DAY WE STAY INSIDE! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you STAY HOME, men of the world!"
Who shall bring you your food, if all men stay inside?? I shall go forth & continue to brave this scary, dark place where most men fear to tread to bring you pork, beef & pistachio ice cream....
Good one!!!
Awesome
"I will not part with a single roll" ... the line spoken by millions around the world.
Rewatching this in October as we're all going back into regional Tier 2 and Tier 3 lockdowns and it's still just as funny!
The whole time I thought this was AI doing the voices, incredible impressions mate! You put a lot of work into your videos and it shows.
this video should be spreading twice as fast as corona... lets get to it.
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the infection."
Thuran hmmm
LOL
I’m kinda pretty sure sir Ian McKellen is so bored you employed him to do this.
On a serious note you’re doing a serious damn job !
Stage 11: Watch the whole damn series again.
Loved the video, especially 'Reading your Diary'; 'we cannot go out, not even for Bingo'... and 'on a serious note'--how true: "the only reason to be afraid is if everyone's not in this together"
That end bit should definitely be the new video to make everyone stay inside!
I know right!
@@CharlieHopkinson why don't you spread it on it's own through social media?
It should be a separate video so it can be shared easier! It was actually very moving.
@@Exige_UK yeh I thought that too!!!!
I concur
"You anti vaxing flat earther" 😂
steveninthe ruclips.net/video/sjoad6gcRzs/видео.html
Spread the news 😂🤣😂
That line cracked me up to 😂🤣
It got me thinking tbh: is flat earth cannon in LotR or not? :D
@@nemak89 technically yes, when the world was first created it was flat, and as different races were made, arda became more spherical to prevent the newer ones from getting into valinor (elves still could). This is a brief explanation for what happened and it somewhat explains why legolas could see so far away. Theres plenty of online articles discussing this subject if you wanted to look into it
"One does not simply walk into Costco."
"Its automatic doors are guarded by more than just security guards. There is evil there that does not sleep. And the vengeful Karens are ever present. It is a chaotic warehouse, riddled with scum, and rage, and disease. The very air you breath is a risk of infection."
@@eliesh3833 "Not with ten bottles of hand sanitizer could you do this. It is folly."
This was the first belly laugh I've had since March, a distant different world..........Thank you Thank you so much! It's hitting us hard right now - friends in the hospital, virus at the gate....but we are holding on in the Texas Panhandle, and you Brits know how to make me laugh again.
1:01 this killed my sides! The way he walks into frame after the doorbell is priceless!
Is there anyone who knows how to get this to Stephen Colbert? So he and his team can show it on TV? It is a master piece which should get much more attention! 😁
Haha thanks! Twitter?
Make it happen!
you would have to re dub the supermarkets to Walmart, Piggly Wiggly and Dollar Store. Just to help. Good luck.
Please!! He deserves to see this
@@suzannetodaro5494 He needs to add Target, too, for those of us who don't live near a Piggly Wiggly. 😅
"We must buy spaghetti" really caught me off guard 😆🤣
"ALL the spaghetti." Too much!
There's no way Gandalf would say "me and all these elves". Tolkien was a damn English Professor, he would say "These elves and I".
He's probably still in his state of delirium
Protip: to know whether it should be "and me" or "and I", take the other party out of the sentence and then use the one that makes grammatical sense.
@@rollingthunder1043 same deal with "us" and "we", "he/him" and "she/her". Don't say "her and her friends did __" it's "she and her friends", because you wouldn't say "her did _". You should never say "us __ are __", such as "us Americans celebrate the 4th of July". It should be "we Americans celebrate the 4th of July".
And there are your grammar lessons for today!
Bonnie Half-Elven loves grammars synonym rolls
"The only reason to be afraid is if everyone's not in this together" I love this!!💕
This is comedy gold. And at first I thought it was the voice behind gandalf that did this... either I haven't seen LOTR in a long time, or this voice is spot on
“One does not simply go to Asda...”
“We must buy spaghetti...All the spaghetti” 😂👌
That doorbell and Thorin appearing with "how much is it mate" is killing!😂😈😂 Brilliant stuff!👍👊
😀
the fact that he made the dwarven skeleton the grandma.
"We must buy the toilet paper.....ALL the toilet paper."
Atleast the quarantine brought us this gem.
"Thorin tp Hoarder, you anti-vaxxing flat-earther!"
That's fantastic! I've gotta use that somewhere somehow!
When?
Take out "Thorin" and use instead for any deluded egomaniac.
5h0rgunn, I believe in you. One day, you will succeed.
Ya know, just a couple weeks ago, I was doing some gardening and I asked my husband to help me. He was getting poked with thorns so I offered my glove. He’s much bigger than I, and when he tried the glove on, he said “it doesn’t fit...it’s too tight.” Without hesitation i said “oh just put it on, O.J.!” And laughed and laughed! I said “I’VE BEEN WAITING 24 YEARS TO SAY THAT!!!” 😂
My moment finally came. You will get your moment.
5h0rgunn yup
If that's not an icebreaker...
"Why did you send me out there?" "Oh... I needed my crossword..." lmao but I can assure you it is weekly LOTTO TICKETS they need, my god that argument lasted a solid hour.
Haha!
Charlie Hopkinson I GET YOU!!! They be asking when the fuck they can still playing lottery 💀😭
The bit at the end was so good!!
As an American, I've had to Google 1/2 your jokes, and they are fricking hilarious LOL
I hope one day I can do voices like you. I saw you years back doing MORGAN FREEMAN reads, and you have continued to grow and improve, Charlie. You are absolutely incredible, and more entertaining each year, glancing through your videos. You're an inspiration, mate.
Extension to the pub scene, "legolas, what do your elf eyes see?", "They're taking the hobbits to isen-pub"
They're taking the hobbits to Wetherspoons!
We dwarves were not made for quarantine but are quite deadly when when social distance is not kept
I can't imagine how hard it was not to laugh while saying, *'Thorin TP Hoarder'* I'm absolutely dying 😂😂😂😂 - Also the ending was very lovely 😊
Hearing the voice of Gandalf shouting "YOU ANTI-VAXING FLAT EARTHER" killed me.
@@watsisname 100%!!!! 😂😂😂👌
the quote "Fly, you fools!" should be "Quarantine, you fools!"
Stay home, you fools
@Scullery Maid ikr
Appreciate the time and effort taken to create this.
I was convinced you had convinced Ian McKellen to do the voice-overs for you. Impressive impression. Well done.
Thanks!

😂
idk why “you got too close to grandma, now she’s fallen down that well” SENT ME
"And then you'll see it"
"What?"
"Brexit"
Watching in 2022 again having just watched The Hobbit. Still class!
“And everyone will be chanting, ‘borris you ruddy legend’ “ 🤣
I can't believe it, I think this has probably made everyone's day, really appreciate the effort!
This is possibly the most accurate thing right now.... *AND THE SAXOPHONE GANDALF MEME LIVES!*
What is the name of that song anyway. I keep hearing it used in a number of different videos.
Just found this and we’re all out of lockdown now and things are more or less back to normal but I feel like everyone is suffering some level of PTSD from the whole event… this was like a flashback 😂
Can we just enjoy the fact that there's not a single ad in this?
Bilbo Baggins: Good morning.
Gandalf: What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or perhaps you mean to say that you feel good on this particular morning? Or are you simply stating that this is a morning to be good on? Hm?
Bilbo Baggins: All of them at once, I suppose.
Gandalf: Hmm.
Bilbo Baggins: Can I help you?
Gandalf: That remains to be seen. I'm looking for someone to share in a quarantine.
Bilbo Baggins: A quarantine? No, I don't imagine anyone west of Bree would have much interest in quarantines. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things. Make you run out of toilet paper. Heh, heh. Mm. Huh. Hmm. Oh. Ah. Good morning.
Gandalf: To think that I should have lived to be "good morninged" by Belladonna Took's son as if I were selling emergency supplies at the door.
Bilbo Baggins: Beg your pardon?
Gandalf: You've changed, and not entirely for the better, Bilbo Baggins.
Bilbo Baggins: I'm sorry, do I know you?
Gandalf: Well, you know my name, although you don't remember I belong to it. I'm Gandalf. And Gandalf means... ...me.
Bilbo Baggins: Gandalf? Not Gandalf the wandering telemarketer... ...who made such excellent hand sanitizer? Old Took used to have some on Midsummer's Eve. Heh, heh. Ahem. No idea you were still in business.
Gandalf: And where else should I be?
Bilbo Baggins: Where else...? Ahem, making more?
Gandalf: Well, I'm pleased to find you remember something about me... ...even if it's only my sanitizer. Yes. Well, that's decided. It'll be very good for you (Bilbo looks at Gandalf confused) and most amusing for me. I shall inform the others.
Bilbo Baggins: Inform the who? What? No. No. No... Wait. We do not want any quarantines here, thank you. Not today. Not... I suggest you try Over the Hill or Across the Water. Good morning.
John Watson: Good morning, ah, where are we, exactly? Have you seen Sherlock, the idiot refuses to stay insi- hey, you look familiar...
People like you Charlie are the contemporary heroes, in a time of fear and loneliness, you have brought hundreds of thousands of people around a vast planet and oceans apart, together, in laughter, in writing, in communication, no barriers, no distancing... So thank you for brightening my day.
While on Mount Doom:
Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the pre-quarantine, Mr. Frodo? It’ll be spring soon. And the shelves will be restocked. And the children will be testing in the public schools. And they’ll be sowing the summer wheat in the Mexican fields. And the restaurants will be open again... And wiping for the first time with Cottonelle Ultra. Do you remember the feeling of toilet paper?
Frodo: No, Sam. I can’t recall the taste of food… nor the sound of flushing water… nor the touch of grass on the front lawn. I’m… coughing in the house, with nothing, no medication… between me… and Covid fire! I can barely see it... with my aching eyes!
Sam: Then let us be rid of it… once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can’t vaccinate it for you… but I can social distance you!
Smaug: “You think you could deceive me to go OUTSIDE Barrel Rider”
Then coronavirus took me, and I strayed out of breath and time, and every day was as long as a life age of the earth. Cured, I was sent back until my task is done. I return to you now at the flattening of the curve.
Every now and then, YT scores a direct hit on my "recommended viewing" selections. So very funny ! Well done, Charlie Hopkinson !
"Where are you going?"
"I ride North. To GuudandBaad. Are you coming with me?"
"GuudandBaad! But, there's nothing there but bare shelves!"
"The Dead shall not suffer the Living."
"I have toilet paper."
"The Dead have no need....wait, you have toilet paper?"
"We cannot defeat it, Grand Dalf. We must join it."
"Tell me. When did Sorry Man the Wise abandon treason for Herd Immunity?"
Lmao
GuudandBaad? In that Gundabad? Near Dunland?
@@reeck771 It is Gundabad I think, but Gundabad is nowhere near Dunland. Gundabad is to the north of the Misty Mountains, while Dunland is right next to Isengard.
We can not go out...
Sgt Palooggoo the way is shut!
"What say you? Thorin TP Hoarder." Sometime tomorrow that will randomly pop in my head and some unfortunate bystander in the grocery store will inherit that name.
I can’t believe I’ve only just found this, it’s amazing!’
That was FABULOUS. Dying of laughter here.
This is a great way to communicate with fantasy fans, and Tolkien fans especially
😀
You're Gandalf impression is amazing, and the lines were so funny, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard and my family loved the video also.
Thanks!
AHAHAHA! I forgot about the spaghetti...and grandma's toenails, lol. This is so damn great, I watched LOTR and the Hobbit recently and immediately had to come watch these again. Got us through a horrible year, Charlie, thank you! Hope you are doing well, and Happy New Year!
The "on a serious note" final part for Gandalf, is soo heartfelt. Thank you.
"The world is changing... Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of CORONA?"
Seriously, guys, nobody's commented on 'I needed my crossword'?! Humourless flat earthers!
The "anti-vaxxing flat-earther" line is definitely something I can hear my bf saying. 😂😂😂
Haha!
Very well done! Though we have to be careful ... if people don't want the Covid-19 Vaccine, it doesn't make them an antivaxxer nor a flat-earther. Tried and tested vaccines have proven useful. A rushed Covid-19 Vaccine (when it becomes available)... Nah, I'll wait ...
I came back 2 years later and this is still amazing to me. Now, it's even funnier than before look back on it now.
"I have been to Tesco" my god so hilarious 🤣🤣classic
Anyone else laughed so hard they started crying?😂😂😂😂😂
3:06 Me and all these elves had a massive curry last night, and our butts are about to become fountains.'
That sure leaves little to imagination. 😂😂😂
You were too close to grandma and now she’s fallen down that well!
😂😂😂
Amazing, I genuinely thought sir Ian McKellen voice acted this until the last part!
The amount of times I have rewatched this over the years just for “Letterbox my Doms” is insane.
