middle earth's best ad campaign ever

I don't have cable, so I hadn't seen these ads until HilStah sent them my way.

But I have to say that I admire the deep, dark place that this sarcasm comes from — the ads on TBS for an encore presentation of the LOTR Trilogy are absolutely brilliant.

There’s the one capitalizing on the rumors about exactly what kind of “relationship" really exists between Frodo and Sam.

Then there’s the one showcasing the hunks with the dreamy eyes and great hair ...

And the one that brings back that song from the 80’s that you never in a million years thought you’d associate with Gandalf the Grey.

And who could forget the one about that “thing" who doesn’t really have any friends?
