What NOT to do during “Return of the King.”

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, “Wait… where the hell is Harry Potter?”

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” – After the movie, say “Lucas could have done it better.”

3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: “The Ring.”

4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond’s lines with “Mr. Anderson.”

7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, “And I did it…. MY way…!”

8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone’s finger and fall down the stairs.

9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact “The Battle of Helms Deep” Monty Python style.

10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout “Barbecue!”

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout “RUN FOREST, RUN!”

12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: “That’s what I’m Tolkien about!” See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, “Where’s Waldo?”

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, “I see dead people!”

18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.

21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, “Man! Charlotte’s really let herself go!”

    That is sooooooo funny! Les you are an absouloute legend!
    I also have an Idea
    I’ve made it my lifes ambition to walk into a Subway store,dressed as an elf and when the ask me what kind of bread I’d like my sandwich on, say “ummmm, actually…. do you have any lembas?” lol :D I guess if you wanted to go really ar with tthis you could also start screaming yelling and threaten to put an arrow through thier head when they say thres no lembas!

  • RELA

    LMAO! Especially No. 1,7 & 10 uh oh i think i better stop with the fits because people in my office are looking at me strangely.

    BTW: Any one read ‘Funny Ways Of Freaking People Out With LOTR’ It’s pretty funny too.

  • james

    haha, i actually did say, what the f***, this isn’t harry potter, when it came on

  • rooster teeth

    when gandalf rides over the hill with pippin and proclaims “minas tirith,” i kinda shruged and said aloud “it’s only a model…” (more monty python)

    i said “get back you eight legged freak!” at shelob

    everyone said something about agent elrond, didn’t they?

    shout “kill the orcs, slay the orcs, destroy the orcs” every time there is a battle with orcs (its a song by 3 inches of blood)

    *sigh* there’s more but i forgot ‘em, need to watch that movie again…

  • Queenspacekow

    This has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen in the 22 hours I’ve been awake. Heres my contribution
    Take your houseplant (spiderplant prefered)allow no to sit next to you because its the plants seat. Then whisper loudly a blow by blow of the movie specially during all romanantic or intense scenes.

  • LothlorienElf

    I am incredibly proud to announce that my friends and I actually did #s 3, 4, 6, 10, 13, 17, and 18! Not very loudly, but the people around us heard. We were dressed up as elves, so we were getting funny looks anyway—they must have thought we were insane! XD

  • dude that is funny i love you !! im gonna go see it for the 4th time and try some of that!

  • brad

    hey tasha :finger2:

  • i-am-freeeeek

    ..Man, that sh!t is FUNNY! Me and my friends did #6, 17 and 4….ALOT! We also held a debate on wether the Spider could beat up the one from Harry Potter… ROTFL!

    We almost got kicked out.

  • laura and cat , again

    hey!! we’re famous now! autographs available at http://www.weruletheworld.com !!!

  • Miriel

    Man oh man! I guess I’m guilty of a lot of those.

    I also must admit to the Mel Brooks comment “It’s good to be the king.”

    HOWEVER, the best is the Emerald City.
    After all, you ARE talking about the Wicked Witch King of the East.  Almost expected him to cry out, “I’m melting” while dying.

  • Gummi_Girl

    Aww man, that was hilarious.
    Everyone who says Legolas is adorable, yay to you, he’s such a cutie!

  • Mindy

    That’s hilarious. I did some of those things. I especially made a lot of references to Harry Potter. 
    One thing I did though, every time Bilbo came on, I would start singing “Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, the bravest little hobbit of them all”

    Anyone seen Hidalgo? There’s a lot of similarities between Viggo’s character in that and Aragorn. Loved it anyway. I kept making comments on that too.

  • Jace

    Haha that was hilarious, i read them to my mom and we died laughing..or at least i did… I SEE DEAD PPL!

  • kym

    when frodo tells sam to go home on the stairs of minas morgul, say in a loud gollum-voice. “but master is our friend!”

  • The Old Man from scene 24

    I’ve had bigger laughs. For example when reading / writing parts of this IMDB thread:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/board/flat/4862231

    Much more fun then merely dressing up as old ladies.
    At the Black Gate, the Mouth of Sauron says: “Be gone, you illigitimate so-called Aragorn-king, you and all your silly human kniggits! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smellt of eldeerberries!”

  • Last_hussar

    What we need is a midnight showing Audience Par-tic-ip-ation showing, where we can all shout along a la Rocky Horror.

    May I also add
    When the third arrow hits Boromir, shout in best darts commontators voice ONE HUNDRED AND EIIIIIIIIIghtyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

    Just before Ian McKellen hits his head (it’s a blooper they kept in) shout ‘DUCK’, then ‘Told you so’ after.

    During shots of the Army of the Dead shout ‘Who ya gonna call?’ (there’s one for the children of the 80’s).
