It continues to be funny, even after she stops comparing him to Sauron.

Using one fantasy to deconstruct another! Interesting how the Tolkien side holds up well while the other one . . .
Also, great thread title, Lalaith. It will be fun to see what other links and references to Tolkien in the media show up here.

Another one for you, this time off the telly...the political satire "The Thick of It" - absolutely sublime episode tonight, not least for this exchange:
Phil Smith (moronic Conservative policy adviser): We could be friends...me, Aragorn, the true king, you Boromir, your horn is broken and will be blown no more... Olly Reeder (his obnoxious Labour counterpart): This inability to talk without using Lord of the Rings metaphors is one of the very many reasons we could *never* be friends. The whole thing is here. Please don't watch if you're not interested in politics and/or don't approve of very full-on swearing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p270j

Bit late but...
I've been meaning to post a clip from this for a while. The whole episode is LotR related but these are the most "pure" moments...
