Totaly inapropriate!
Okay, I've had a good search of these here Forums and couldn't find a similar thread, but I may have missed it so forgive me if I have...
Talking to my older sibling, we came up with an amusing game in which we named the most inappropriate actor (and or famous personality) to play the part of a Character from Tolkien. Not just The Lord of the Rings, but also; The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, Farmer Giles of Ham, Tom Bombadill ect and so on. Expanding on this, we then continued to make up other situations, such as; completely inappropriate music for certain scenes, silly hats, sound effects and so on. So here is my idea for this thread: Chose from the following (or do all of them if ye wish) - Come up with a completely ironic / inappropriate person to play a part of a character from Tolkien. - Music that would be amusing in a specific place. - Sound effects that would make the whole experience much more amusing I want to give everyone a lot of freedom in this, so if you can come up with something more amusing to parody besides actors, music, sound effect ect, please do. Oh, and if you wish, give an explanation for you choice. SO finally, here's my take: Brian Blessed to play Legolass for the soul reason that his voice is completely different to what any elf should have, also, he looks rather Dwarvish. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" (Or "That tune they use at Alton Towers" for all ye who don't know what I'm talking about) for the Shire theme music. Perhaps not during the scoring of the shire, but when it is peaceful it would really give the wrong impression. Instead of the clash of metal when swords collide, the sound of a small furry thing being put through a mangle. That way no one really notices the violence due to the pure insanity of the sound effects. Please enjoy. |
Music:
If any of you are familiar with 'the fish heads' song (fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up yum!) it should definately be heared faintly when Bilbo first meets Gollum (or, failing that, sung by Gollum) I don't actually know the name of the song, but I get the line "I can see clearly now..." from it suck in my head all the time, anyway, that song when Frodo decides to keep the ring for himself at Mt. Doom. Sound Effects: The sounds of two light sabers (Star Wars) hitting instead of swords. Similarly, the sounds of phasers (Star Trek) instead of arrows. And as a suggestion, what about really rather inappropriate lines? To explain this I would give the example that while my brother and I were watching The Return of the King one day when the King of the Dead said "who dares to disturb us?" (or something like that---I can't remember exactly) I responded "Pizza delivery boy." (I was rather hungry, so pizza was the only thing I could think of) My brother picked up on the general idea and then responded for the King of the Dead...and things spiralled downhill from there. I don't mean for people to type out whole conversations, just single lines which are really out of place given the actual context. (I just realized this is my 52nd post, Yay!--if you wonder why this number is better than, say, 50 itself I highly suggest you go count the number of cards in a standard deck of cards [ie: one with four suits and 13 values per suites]) |
The Princess Bride meets The Lord of the Rings
Andre the Giant (Fezzik) as Legolas
Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) as Arwen Chris Sarandon (Prince Humperdinck) as Sauron Billy Crystal (Miracle Max) as Elrond Wallace Shawn (Vizzini) as Aragorn Cary Elwes (Westley) as Wormtongue Robin Wright Penn (Buttercup) as Gimli Yeah, that sounds pretty terrible. For the most effect, they have to keep the same personalities... |
I showed this thread to my brother (along with a handful of others...we're really bored) and as soon as he understood the idea he suggested this wonderful piece of inappropriatness:
"I think the best sound effect would be when the balrog comes on, y'know he steps on the bridge and there's kinda a stomping noise, well instead of that there should be a squishing noise...'ahh Gandalf!'" Thank you brother..you made my day. |
Squeaking noises need to be put in every time a hobbit foot lands on the ground. Because this would make the Frodo and Sam parts slightly more amusing:
Gollum: the dead mashes they are. Sam: They do *squeak* make an *squeak* awful *squeak* smell. Circus music for Moria. No explanation needed I think :D |
How about having stupid hyena things as wargs! :D
No, but seriously. Good topic Hookbill. How about Hulk Hogan as Gandalf. Perhaps Joe Pasquali as the voice of Sauron? How about Rage Against The Machine's 'Take the power back' when Frodo throws the Ring into the Crack of Doom. There are heaps more, but they're either too surreal or rude! Haha! |
The Uruk-hai could sing "We Will Rock You" while banging their spears and such on the ground at Helm's Deep. :p
At Bilbo's party, when he puts on the Ring, there should be a loud popping noise, like a bubble. (The same with Sauron when he "explodes.") For those of you who are familiar with albinoblacksheep.com, "The Llama Song" in the Shire. :D Robin Williams as Gandalf, for no reason at all. :D |
The Python who sings "The Lumberjack Song" as Aragorn
singing the song as the Three Hunters plus Arwen (his best girlie by his side) enter Fangorn. The chorus is, of course, Treebeard, Quickbeam, et al. |
A strange fish called Lord of the Castaways
A few suggestions, some better than others, but all just slightly skewed:
Frodo: Alan Bates Sam: Oliver Reed Rosie: Glenda Jackson Gimli: George Wendt (Norm of Cheers) Legolas: John Ratzenberger (Cliff of Cheers) Elrond: Orson Wells Aragorn: Omar Sharif Bilbo: Tom Hanks Gandalf: Rowan Atkinson Merry: Sean O'Connery Pippin: Peter O'Toole Galadriel: Whoopi Goldberg Arwen: Meg Ryan Grima: Harrison Ford Denethor: Benicio Del Toro Faramir: Kevin Kline Boromir: Charleton Heston Eowyn: Kate Winslet Tom Bombadil: Danny DeVito with special guest appearance as Goldberry: Jamie Lee Curtis |
How about Pippin sings a little solo from the Sound of Music. When he hears drums in the deep, he bursts out with: 'The hills are alive with the sound of music!'
Here'd be a real twist. Let's cast Roger Rabbit as the Witch-king! :eek: And for the brilliant sound effect: a whoopie cushion everytime someone sits down. :D |
With a League of Gentlemen twist:
Tubbs and Edward as Galadriel and Celeborn. Would eliminate the need for any Elven guards on Lothlorien, as everyone would be too scared to go near. "This is a local wood, for local people". Papa Lazarou as Aragorn. As Arwen places her hand in his his true nature is revealed and he growls "oooh, you're my wife now", and then locks her up with his collection of other wives. Hilary Briss as Gandalf, the grand meat butcher overlord, insidiously infecting the peoples of Middle Earth with the insatiable desire for 'special stuff'. If you don't know to what I am referring then why not? ;) But here is a link to more: http://www.leagueofgentlemen.co.uk/ |
I would like to have heard the music from the Benny Hill show as the Uruk-Hai are being pursued by Aragorn and company.
It would have been nice to have heard a bit of reggae coming from the outer walls of Isengard as Merry and Pippin come across the Long Bottom leaf and smoke is seem rising from the store room! When the the orcs are cutting down the trees at Isengard etc it would have been good to have heard a chain-saw a la the quest for the holy grail. :) |
Lalwende that was inspired!! :D :D
This explains the transformation of Glorfindel to Arwen - he/she must be Babs from Bab's Cabs. (Gruff accent - 'since returning from Valinor there've been some changes') Roy Chubby Brown as Will Whitfoot, mayor of the Shire. Gollum could suggest a stimulating game of 'Go Johnny Go Go Go Go' rather than the confusing riddles. |
Well, I guess this crazy cast list that my friends & I came up with while watching TTT at about two in the morning comes close enough for qualifying:
Frodo: Arthur Sam: Energizer Bunny (he just keeps going & going...) Rosie: Ms. Piggy Gimli: Syndrome Legolas: Frozone Elrond: John Madden (can you imagine how long the Council of Elrond would've taken with him 'simplifying' things Aragorn: Earnest P. Worrell from the Earnest movies Bilbo: Steve Urchel from Family Matters Gandalf: Mr. Rogers (we made this before certain deaths took place) Merry (Mary?): Mary Kate Olson Pippin (Pipi? :eek: ): Ashley Olson Galadriel: Martha Stewart Arwen: Oprah Winfrey Grima: Michael Jackson (I'm sorry but the appearances are just to close to being similar) Denethor: Red Green (from the Red Green Show) Faramir: Harold (from the Red Green Show) Boromir: Chewbacca Eowyn: Darla (from Finding Nemo) Tom Bombadil: Robin Williams (well, maybe he's not so far off :p) 'Gothmog': Ozzie Osbourn And I might post more later. ;) |
Bill Ferney: Alan Alda
Elrond: David Ogden Steirs Boromir: Shaq Smeagol: James Earl Jones Eowyn: Loretta Switt |
When Saruman rings up Sauron on the palantir, one of them should say "Can you hear me now...how about now...and now...?".
Or, as Saruman is making the call, a recorded voice should be heard asking him, "Would you like to donate some of your palantir minutes for the troops?" |
For some reason, the picture of Sam and Frodo dancing around on the top of Mt Doom singing "Because you can can can!" pops into my head.
And Nimrodel, what about Boromir singing albinoblacksheep's NumaNuma? |
inapropriate
Tom Cruise as Frodo
|
dance
Id like to see sam and Frodo play dance revolution in the house of rivindel

"Wipeout" as the fellowship travel down the Great River. :D |
Sandra Bullock as Arwen
Sound effect:her laugh as in Miss Congenialty Elrond:Robin Williams (Mr serious has taken a comic turn.) |
Yul Brenner as Aragorn
|
For music I keep hearing that "One Two Step" song being blasted as the hobbits dance at Bilbo's birthday party. Especially when Gandalf starts hopping around with one hand up in the air--great, now that scene has been ruined for me forever :eek:!
|
I love the bit in Fellowship (the film) where as they are leaving Rivendell Frodo has to ask Gandalf which way to turn, but it struck me as a little inappropriate and always makes me imagine them doing a conga line out!
|
At the beginning of FotR, when we see Gandalf approaching on his horse and cart the director should have chosen the theme music from Steptoe and Son to played over the top.
Gandalf played by Wilfred Bramble? |
Eomer played by Ruben Studdard? That would be some scary new devilry...
|
Aragorn played by... Orlando Bloom! Nooooooo... :eek:
Nim :p |
Some bad ideas:
Play Dixie in scenes with the Haradrim and play Into The West when the forces of Sauron march out of Minas Morgul and when the Uruk-Hai take Merry and Pippin to Isengard. As for casting:
Ozzy Osbourne: Grima Dr. Phil: The herb-master of the Houses of Healing. PJ: A Lorien Elf. Michael Moore: Celeborn Voice of Sauron: Tim McGraw William Shatner: Aragorn Christopher Lee: Gimli Billy Boyd: Mouth of Sauron Andy Serkis: Elrond |

I'd like to see Pippin take a gameboy with him on the quets and destrurb every serious moment with the bleeping of his gameboy. Gandalf: "Drums, drums in the deep. <turns the page> We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out...They are coming." Pippin: WEEEEEEEEEH! HIGHSCORE! Also, when Saruman stands on his tower giving a speech to all the orc sin Isengaurd. He could say something silly like a highpitched 'I've got he power!' or 'can I hear a whoop whoo?' damn, that's lame. |
harrison
harrison ford as gollum
those nasty little storm trooperses |
Billy Boyd as Elrond. :D
Geese honking as the Council of Elrond gathers. Why? I don't know, it just sounds fun. :p |
here's one...
If anyone here has seen A series of unfortunate events the theme for happiest little elf in the paths of the dead...aactually tats a funny thought the ghosts swaying to and fro in time with the music.. :D |
Good music Morsul but I'd put it in every time Leggy tries to look "serious". Apologies to Leggy lovers!
|
It would be hilarious to see Gwen Stephani, in performance uniform, thick toed shoes and all, playing Gandalf. When Aragorn,Gimli, Legolas, and Gwen ride up to Edoras, and Eowyn appears on the ledge, she could start singing "Rich Girl". And Leggy could be Eve :D
|
here's a song famous in germany "ine insel mit zwei bergen" a nifty song for gandalf's decription of valinor.
|
Morsul, you inspired me...
When the Orcs attack Minas Tirith, the music would be "Showroom dummies" by Kraftwerk. I think that would be at least snigger worthy. Also; John Cleese as Frodo. Well Why not? Of course, he'd be a Basil Faulty character. Getting really worked up about little things. Eddie Murphy as Gandalf. Do I really need to explain why that would be inappropriate? |
How about having an arcade room at the Green Dragon?
How about having the hobbits eat out of super hero lunch boxes? How about having Gandalf pull out a laptop and logging onto the BD while he's stuck on top of Orthanc? OR How about casting Sean Bean as Frodo and Elijah Wood as Boromir? :eek: |
this would be interwesting if timburton directed the trilogy...
Lets see the person who does piglet's voice was treebeard if tim burton directed the movie johny depp would have to be the lovable baddie gollum |
Hmm.
Wolf Blitzer as Denethor Frank Oz as Pippin John Stewart as Mouth Of Sauron Rosie o Donnel as Arwen Harrison Ford as Aragorn...cool! Hitler as Sauron Hideki Tojo as Sauruman Chuck Norris as Gimli Mike Tyson as orcs C-3PO as Boromir Carmen Electra as Galadriel Michael Jackson as Barrow Wight Snoop Dogg as Tom Bombadil Don Knotts as King of the Dead Burt Reynolds as Elrond -Instead of orcs(Ugluk and Griksnah)fighting and subsequently being ambushed by Rohirrim, it is George Lopez and Carlos Mencia drunk and doing standup while being jumped by the Rohan. -When Sauruman's orcs are bred, play a sound of a new born crying. -"The Crib of Snoop" speaks for itself -Gandalf uses the Force on storm troopers to get to Theoden -Sauron, Sauruman, and The Witch-King("Big Three"), and the remaining not-free peoples wage a war to make Middle-Earth safe for democracy by fighting Nazi Gondor, communist Rohan, and military Imperialist Lothlorien -When The Witch-King and Eowyn face off, the Mortal Kombat theme crecendos and they drop weapons to fistfight -The meeting between the Mouth and the Captains is reduced to a "C-Span" type civil meeting with podiums and such. -Play the Gunshot-Horse Race rally song when the RIngWraiths take off from Minas Morgul. -Have the evil army march up to Minas Tirith to the drumline cadence "Scottie's and Mickey's" That drumline of course would consist of trolls, goblins on cymbals, and uruks on quad tenors, and one Nazgul on a snare. -When the Fellowship is fleeing from The Chamber of Marzubul, play Michael Jacksons "Beat It" -Chuck Berry's "Go Johnny Go" for the scene when Legolas owns the Mumakil troop -"Stairway to Heaven" at the Havens ________ VAPOR GENIE REVIEW |
From LOST tv show:
Sawyer would make a good Boromir Charlie could be well.. he (Dominic) already got to be someone didn't he? but his character on Lost is closer to Pippin Hurley = Sam Gamgee, maybe Butterbur Jack = Aragorn (especially if he's got some athelas) Kate = Arwen or Eowyn Sayid = hmm maybe Gimli |
