We got inspired to update the Lord of the Rings for a modern audience! We also got inspired to update the amazon show: ruclips.net/video/YD8MPTil7lQ/видео.html
This is actually very Brave comedy. 🤣
Horrifying
you are the hero gotham both NEEDS AND DESERVES! so don that cape king! you's a hero!
What about the furry's of VR chat that plunder as tops and the chocolate holes?
Flashgitz = biggest shout-out channel, nothing more..
The canceling eye beam is so powerful.
"Reverse miners" ended me
Damn that Inferno tower bodied them
it got the choosen one andrew tate
Canceling eye beam definitely op🤣
Truly..
So stunning, brave, and meaningful!
@Thank me later 🅥 I didn’t click the link-I choose to be willingly ignorant. All hail the Flash of Gitz!
@Thank me later 🅥 wait so you aren’t a bot
@Thank me later 🅥 Says the bot spam account lmao
@Thank me later 🅥 no, you.
can you elaborate on the meaningful part? how?
I love how Sauron responded to gandalf and Frodo.
That's exactly how the freakers would react.
And then Gandalf returned as Gandalf the White Privilege.
@@nigelis2345 LOL
@@nigelis2345 Someone else said Gandalf the White Supremacist, which is fucking great too.
That ending, my fucking god XD
“That’s because it’s stupid…”
That had me laughing out loud, wheezing bruh.
my pronouns are god/your majesty. don't f up now, don't be a bigot :D
Holy crap I was laughing out loud the whole time this is hilarious. The timing the voice acting is spot on and the ending effing killed me. I'll rewatch this one often, it's on the level of the Mario cart one which is still gold.
@Thank me later 🅥 no its fucking not.
Seems just like „Rings of power“ aka „Rings of total Shit“
Only difference: Flashgitz is actually funny
omg PLEEEESE MAKE MORE
that was fantastic!
froddo: i dont understand it.
gandalf: That's because it's stupid.
wise words!
i also really liked the line:
“And nine were given to women with septum piercings, who above all else desire power”, which was both hilarious and true, hahaha
great parody vid, beautiful visuals and excellent satire on modern pop culture and on the new release of ''rings of power''.
keep up the good work!
Based.
I like how the only show made based on white folklore they feel the need to make it inclusive while when they make a show based on any other races folklore they don't
This was too good to end so quickly
We need the extended version.
Better end beautiful than extended and ugly
Definitely better than certain rings series on certain service-that-shall-not-be-named.
@@albertocarrilho5839 what's with all the bots on Flashgitz & Meatcanyon channels??
it's always on the channel's who "step out of line" with "the message"

I love how Twitter is Mordor
I think Tik Tok should have been Mordor
For that is where I, and the 'normies', dwell...
@@waffle8364 that was my first idea too.
This is fantastic, especially that map. The amount of effort that seems to have gone into this is both minimal and yet detailed at the same time, very nice. Would be brilliant to see a series made of this, especially considering the amount of ways such a tale could be spun.
The map honestly gave me LOTR book nostalgia
Cool.
Who noticed Only Fans Island? :D The Promised Land of Unfulfillment.
I want that map.
The only fans island killed me 🤣🤣🤣
It's very optimistic of you to make all those septim pierced women have hourglass figures when we know the truth.
Damn good point.
We all know they built like a walrus
@@gmari5883 built like a potato sack
The ones that do tend to be insane
it's close to one of the specimens I have encountered in the wild, typically I have seen 2 breeds. one is a massive meatball of a creature with enough piercings to use as a kind of armor, the second is what I can only assume a living skeleton. basically a thrall or a real mummy or something.
As a long time LOTR fan, and flashgitz fan, this was absolutely genius lol
check out MeatCanyon dude XD
I love how twitter is where mordor is located
"That's because it's stupid." A simple yet effective punchline.
I'm so jaded I rarely laugh anymore, but that got me 😁
It's only stupid if you yourself are stupid
The truth can be more funny then fiction. 😂
Hell yeah
Yeah the stupid line got me too,but whats worse those who do that and see this will not see it that way,maybe they identify as a cat,which is REAL STUPID!!!!
@@g.prince6265 god damn please grow up holy shit
Remember guys, if Amazon takes this down for copyright, it means everything here is canon to their series.
does tolkien enterprises not technically belong to embracer group now?
Now that’s based
Why is there always some kid whining or stating this exact thing?!? Yes. We get it. And no it’s not really canon even if they copyright so it’s just a really pointless shitty repeated joke. Everyone enjoyed it for a small little chuckle that one time on the meat canyon video. Let it be. Sayin the same crap every chance you get is damn annoying.
@@Puppy_Puppington Just read it and move on. Nobody cares if you've read it before. Pick your battles.
Remember guys, if Puppy Puppington takes their comment down, it means everything here is canon.
Gollum was ahead of everybody on inventing pronouns. “Themses,” “The precious,” “hobbitses,” “the fat one.” He even refers to himself in the third person. It’s a safe bet that’ll be what twitter sounds like by 2024.
You're onto something there! Schizophrenic, warped creature constantly trying to assure himself of who he is until he ultimately unalives himself would fit the bill to a T.
It's a safe bet that's how Twitter sounds since it's inception. Lol
@Baizuo 白左 he they it fox 10/10 comment
I can't even tell if you're memeing or not. Your profile picture, the banner, the username... everything is a massive shitpost
@Baizuo 白左 he they it fox I find it offensive when the minute among us try to force me, myself and I to obey their ridiculous rules that have no right to exist, if you don't fit in the tribe, maybe you shouldn't be in the tribe. I exist to procreate and ensure a good future for my genetic line, no more, no less, as all creatures do.
Yo can tell it's a fake post - they don't give out homework in sixth grade these days, they give out diplomas.
Even as a parody, the opening sounds epic still
its literally word for word the opening of lotr (until 0:45) so yea...
I love all the music in the show
Amazing 40 seconds of black screen 👌
“Hsmshsnmhgsmhsskaksmsshhsms”
@@tr0ubleM4ker111 Yeah but they got the audio right and produced the music that was very similar yet different, big hats off to them lol

And just as many actual humans in the ranks.

And they called him Gandalf the Based, wisest of all wizards...
Pretty sure Gandalf the cringe would suit this one a lot better.
@@chrantomtheblackmesascient2666 Nah, Gandalf the Crisp. He ain't coming back from that burn out.
At the beginning of the series he starts off as Gandalf the Cringe but after his fated duel against the Galrog with the septum piercing he dies and is reborn as Gandalf the Based.
Is they one person or a group of people that you are referring to? 🤣
@@chrantomtheblackmesascient2666 But he's speaking the truth tho
If you look at Sauron's armor it has both the female symbol and male symbol on his armor. The attention to detail is immaculate. As it zooms in you can see the bigender symbol on the middle of his helmet as well. Genius.
If you combine them it reveals the trigender symbol.
You... Did you just call them a "he"!?!!? YOU JUST ASSUMED SOMEONE'S GENDER!!! unforgivable
@@wilsonsanabia4259 throw them into the fire!

twitter shouldve been swapped with instagram
Man i wanted more... This was such high quality i was expecting another 3 hours of extended edition
And three prequel movies
I'd pay money for that for sure.
They're taking the franchise to Isengard!

There isn’t a line you guys won’t step without hesitation. I respect that commitment to your comedic work
Common sense has become problematic.
pointing out a literal insanity is stupid is dangerous lime for you? sad 😄
What line? Common sense?
There is no line. Don't play into their delusion

yall keep using that phrase but i dont think you know what it means.
common sense isnt a get out of jail free card for bigotry and ignorance lol
I’m gonna need a part 2. Words cant describe how sad and true this is.

yikes lol
You mean a prequel?
@@brandonwoodruff5836 With a prologue stretched into its own trilogy?
This was so far the best satire of the Rings of Power.
You guys never disappoint. Thank you for this masterpiece! ❤️
it's actually LOTR
Babylon Bee also did a pretty good satire.
the satire was people bitching about it btw
You just saved whatever was left of the LotR fandom.

@@captainjimmy2306 don't, brother. We can't get butt hurt that a memory is repackaged and sold as shameless cash grabs anymore.

That being said I just don't watch the show anymore. Gave up 4 episodes in.
@@BeefHammer1 u watched it? What bravery
You know, if Amazon did this instead of the Rings of Power, i would actually paid good money to see it...

I dont think you guys understand how awesome this is........you need to continue this and turn it into a series.
Next it should be "Tha Lawd o' dem Rangz yo"
Pronouns truly hold more power than the ring itself.😺
Damned bots and spammers
If you want to win against returds, you have to learn to use their own games against them. Changing your gender is simple.
Now, I'm a trans whzman and my company can not fire me regardless of what I do. Even though I still dress and act like a guy. LOL.
I have always joked about being a lesbian stuck in a man's body.
Now, I really am a lesbian stuck in a man's body. LOL.
If all US men had their gender in their ID's changed to female. The US would have complete equality.
Here's an example.
My Pronouns are
Trump is my President / Trump won 2020
If you will not use my pronouns, do not expect me to use your made-up silliness.
This drives them batshiite crazy. Because they refuse to use it. Which means I don't have to use theirs.

This was back when it was a government sanctioned media outlet.

Dude, when Gandalf said “that’s because it’s stupid” I DIED

I'd watch a full blown series of this, unlike the new LotR series.
The only reason that some people pretend to like it is because it features people of color. It is nothing more than childish virtue signalling, designing to show that laughably fake moral superiority.
Other than that, they know it is a huge pile of s**t.
Love to see this become a series like the furries thing
Mighty are the Ainur, and mightiest among them is Melkor. But that he may know that I AM Illuvatar, and no theme may be played that does not have its utter most source in me.
I love how this reflects on modern day BS, but with flashgitz art to make it even better
you literally have a furry pfp you are contributing to the bs

"Women with septum piercings, who above all else, desire power" No truer statement has ever been uttered in the English language
got stronger chills from this than the actual show
I mean...you could get chills from how bad the writing and acting was on the Amazon bastardization.
