Pipesmoking in the LOTR Trilogy 

Agree!

So true.

Now it changed with vaping

@@lord-uxas no, cigarettes and cigars. Vape doesn't deserve recognition. Cause if you want a full hit tobacco, might as well go all out and get some man smoke. Marlboro red.

*Any day

Well he did not cricize the habit itself, radher the degree of indulgence. Its like there is nothing wrong with a beer on the weekend but I might commwnt if you drink a gallon every day, even tough I also enjoy it from time to time. And I myself am hoarding tobacco even tough I smoke maybe a tin per month. Its not getting any cbeaper or mor available so Im making reserves when I can😁

TommyRepulsed sounded to me like he criticized it in general, but it’s been a while🤷‍♂️

Well he did It for robbing It from the shire

@@TommyRepulsed You make a good point. He was being a bit excessive with it. It may well have been the primary reason he associated with hobbits. He liked that good herb they had more than the Bree stuff, or the plants found growing wild.

It also sets up the fact that he had dealings with the Shire, setting up what would be the chapter where Frodo and the other 3 Hobbits would have to retake the Shire (a scene cut from the movie, as Saruman originally dies there by his aide's hand and not at his tower)

This video's editing is pure gold.

At first I ignored then I found it annoying then a little funny then I was actively laughing until I had to stop the video cause my stomach hurting

That is a very good observation 👍

Or they ran out of pipe weed, which wasn't as common outside the Shire.

In the book they actually got some time to smoke after Isengard was taken, with Pippin giving Gimli a spare pipe while he and Merry catch the three hunters up on what happened to the two Hobbits.

@@doopdoopdopdop7424 That is a very good part

That definitely makes sense. As I've become more aware of pipe smoking and Tolkien's love of it, I think it's a symbol of relaxation and the idea of home. So while it is later throughout the trilogy, it's more heavy as a Shire thing because the Shire represents home and relaxation

Bilbo Baggins works just ss well if you get it

Gandalf 420

:(

Bilbo Swaggins more like

Ganjalf the green

AGREED the other 2 don't feel the same in that regard.

He’s a Wizard. He doesn’t want the fireworks to go off they won’t.

Thats the style

Actually I bought a LOTR pipe at Amazon, best pipe I ever smoked and Canada has a lot of good Pipe weed.

@@Videssos1 I saw those pipes because I frequently buy things from Amazon. I would have gotten one or more of those pipes, but I quit smoking in the early 1990's.

I completely agree, and I would say it is the best adaptation aswell knowing what to leave and what to cut.

I’d rate the dark knight trilogy 10/10 personally.

Same with both Star Wars trilogies, not the newer one

and Godfather

I rate it 4/20.

Yes!

Huh, I always thought it was because of his new body not being used to smoking. Nice little detail

He's coughing coz it's good shit

@Colourful Darkness This makes me want to pick up the hobbit and actually read it even though I really never want to read books.

@@FadedOxide the Hobbit is totally doable. It’s much shorter than the other books and the writing style is different. It’s much more accessible. There are also some phenomenal audio books out there on account of its fame

Look into Epicureanism my friend.

You could always take up amish like living and move to amish country just remember to grow your own "pipeweed"

Yeah, the hobbit life feels like a very quiet and Chilled life, sure you probably still have some Work to do but what is just the most beautifull thing about the Hobbits is that they dont seem to have any ill will against eachother and the whole Community really is like a big friendly family, other than our Modern society where you are always pressured to be someone you arent and all people are far away from eachother and absolute selfish f*cks, the Hobbits way of living just seems to be ideal, sure they have no great luxury and are basicly in the middle ages but life is also easyer.

Well, it's a 20YO movie 😂 I'm glad the Hobbit also has pipesmokimg in it, but as I was making a similar compilation I noticed that Martin Freeman was fake piping (pipe in mouth, never exhales any smoke) so I've seen no point in making the video...

@@nonick969 while I'm no fan of the current political correctness and wokeness, I don't think that was the intention. Remember that in LOTR you have the Aragorn-Arwen romance and it being interracial has no political subtext in my opinion.

@@TommyRepulsed Besides, it is ultimately the actor’s choice to actually smoke or not, isn’t it. Perhaps Freeman simply exercised his good right to not actually smoke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@-----REDACTED----- Excellent actors are willing to sacrifice much more than a few puffs of smoke (worth a walk in london during rushhour) to bring a character to life. Sure it is his right to protect his health but no-one forced him to take the role, nudity, losing-gaining weight, going trough drama amongst other things. While I think Martin Freemans portrail of Bilbo is one of the better parts of the hobbit trilogy, I feel like pipesmoking is a part of the character and should have been present onscreen more then the compulsory first scene. I don´t recall seeing Bilbo with a pipe ever again in the whole trilogy unless it was old Bilbo at the very end, a different actor. I do not disagree with you, I just don´t like the choice they made.

@@TommyRepulsed Hmm…that also makes sense. Ultimately we probably won’t ever know which factors played a role in that decision.

I think there are plenty of girls who get lost in the fantasy adventure just as well as dudes 😁

And don't forget the salted pork and longbottom leaf lol

@@TommyRepulsed no doubt, but in my experience LOTR is something dudes are much more attracted too

@@davidrausch7941 times change my man. When I was a teen, getting a girl to go see a spiderman movie would be pretty difficult, yet on the no way home screening I went to I felt like the majority of viewers were 15YO girls so maybe you'd be surprised about the popularity of fantasy movies as well 😁

@@TommyRepulsed idk I cant cite anything except thr interestd of my female friends in saying that it seems to be a guy thing. Not the best sample population

I got named "a disturber of the peace" too, but when I got to crown court, they found no evidence. The police never turned up, and neither did my own solicitor! Oh and the secret I will tell you now, although few will read it, or, believe it... They crucified Judas, instead of Jesus. So, he never died for anyones' sins. (they all look the same to us anyway)

vagina is the garden of eden, only through it can a man ascend, it is the stairway to heaven.

Why did you quit

Exactly right...

Bc it's the internet, I was really, really tempted to post, "The man who abused me smoked pipe. You need to apologize."

You mean the trilogy, or my video? 😂

He’s mad at Pippin, not merry.

Guard of the citadel pfff 😂🤣😂 my favorite part 😂🤣😂

This is the way

Tolkien really out here giving people tobacco addictions, what a wise man.

@@vorpalweapon4814We all have a vice of some kind. If it helps the fella relax and he keeps the smoke away from kids, let him at it.

I'm literally working on an Epic Fantasy type book and in mind so far i have the gods smoking weed having three ways and getting into Petty disagreements

@@TrollHiddenCave sounds about right for most ancient gods

@@GhostCabinet lol makes me think of the Trojan war XD

That because it’s spaced out and they are some pretty long movies.

finally got hands on some high grade

Salted pork???

The fellowship trilogy got me through the toughest years of my life.. I can't imagine a world without LoTR.. even to this day whenever I'm down or under the weather I know exactly what I'm gonna watch to help me feel better.

Your comment is good, and you should feel good.

poofin that Neville OG

Believe it or not Gandalf went to school with them

Leaf of the longbottom

Lmaooo

Ha, same!😂 Love the Movies too, have the extended Edition bluray Box at home.

Saruman might have had a point with it after all

Gandalf ultimately used a Balrog to light up his bong. Saruman got stabbed and chucked off the same tower he imprisoned Gandalf in. Meanwhile Gandalf told a Moth to tell Eagles to rescue him. The Eagles actually came.... Give me whatever Gandalf is smoking any day.

That's the point of Tolkien's writing, after all he is the man who said "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" Sauron is not important, not really, give it 2 or 3 ages and he will be forgotten, but the joy everyone gets while eating a good meal? Or the one they get when they can enjoy a good pipe? That's something that no amount of ages can destroy

@@hasturthekinginyellow5003 Beautifully put

lol

@@hasturthekinginyellow5003 Sauron should had chillax and enjoy some of that halfling leaf

Pipe smoking wasn't a thing until around TA 2600. So no, there won't be any pipe smoking.

Lmao imagine actually wanting to watch that

Bullshit. Hobbits smoke pipeweed likes its going extinct, Getting rid of pipeweed would be getting rid of a very important part of their culture.

No, no pipe weed. Or at least, no smoking. Pipe weed came from Numenor (which existed in second age) and was brought over to Arnor and Gondor, where it was called Sweet Galenas but was only grown for it's look and fragrance. Hobbits were the first to smoke it, but they didn't enter the picture until long after Numenor existed. I'm sure Sweet Galenas will be referenced, but that should be all.

That obviously went way way over your head.

That should have been the video title 😁

@@TommyRepulsed Only two of them were not smokers, Legolas and Boromir, And I am not so sure about Boromir. Although he was the only one who lived so far from the holy weedland of Shire.

It was in my recommendation,]. Glad I noticed it so I can look it up next time I need to see this.

I did, but just to laugh at the weed comments. I don’t smoke though.

@@jorgen1990 weed is real pipe weed in this movie is fictional not the real life weed

to be honest, it was not my idea to use it as a transition, I saw it in the lutr of teh rings parodies. If I were to do it again I´d probably rethink some ot fhe edits because based on other comments, some potheads misinterpret the intentions and I completely didn´t see that coming :D honestly this video is doing way better then I expected.

@@TommyRepulsed was a fine job sir 👌🏻

I am not entirely convinced that is is merschaum, could be just a lighter wood or coloured. But if we look for an in world ecplanation, there might be a suitable mineral the dwarves would know and mine. I actually like that thought.

Agreed

Def

Well, Viggo is half Danish.

Exactly as it was intended to be enjoyed 😉

Corn cob for me.

:D Yes, cause "smoking is bad!"...but hey, let's put in some more war scenes!!

I often think about that for the hobbit. Seems like if they waited a couple years the hobbit trilogy would’ve been.

This type of movie cannot be released in this day and age because sooo many people would be complaining and bitching about soo many things.

Released when the world was still normal. Hateful and ignorant people were just ignored.

The replies to this comment make my soul hurt

Seriously lmao

No... The Beginning of another journey! *coughs* Have you heard of the Undying Lands?

Ok,first, i dig your brain with my weapon, that is a valid kill, second, a battle with proportion of 3 do 1 is almost unwinnable, each soldier would have to kill 3 foes... they alone killed 85(sorry legolas). Fun fact : legolas was an average elf (very good with the bow among them), That means that a army of 800 elves can take an enemy army of 32.000 Power builded orcs (uruk-hai)

They were together in Rohan, so him, Aragorn and Gimli might have gotten a share 😁

This is pointless, I've argued with potheads in the past about this topic but they will just ignore every argument you give them. If they want Gandalf to smoke ganja, that is what they'll think no matter what. I've actually deleted the most deadend argument I had here because when everything else failed the guy started calling me names...

Obviously if Tolkien said it’s tobacco it’s tobacco… but the acting at the very least implies that their “tobacco” is making them giggly and hungry. Maybe the actors were not aware they were supposed to be smoking tobacco? it’s a legitimate observation by those who are informed on the effects of smoking cannabis. The acting clearly implies cannabis effects even if the material is canonically tobacco. Or maybe middle earth tobacco is more of a blend. (Puffs pipe, does best Gilmli impersonation)… “Who knows, who cares”

@@TommyRepulsed Maybe on set they slipped some marijuana in the hobbits' pipeweed bags :P

@@TommyRepulsed Evidence in favor of pipeweed being tobacco: Tolkien explicitly says it is.

Evidence in favor of pipeweed being marijuana: it contains the word weed which wasn't a synonym for marijuana until decades after the books were written.

I know it's been 20, but calling LOTR older movies makes me in turn feel older as well 😂

Me too, in a clay pipe. Yes it's a real pipeweed!

cool, When I wanted my own small clay pipe (as Gandalf smoked) I had to order it from US.

The male fantasy.

@@obischlong5584 agree!

It’s not weed it’s tabacoo they just called it pipe weed

@@MB-sj2yu haha I know im just being silly

Why? The movies aren't for dope smokers

@@OldPirate1718because he probably was ! And it’s funny asf

​@@OldPirate1718 "dope" ok Boomer

People think Tolkein was a tobacco pipe smoker you don't write a ridiculously big epic fantasy that survived decades after decades without a little weed in your pipe

Well, at least we still can enjoy it at home, but going to cinema and being able to smoke a pipe or even just riding the train in the summer and smoking in the cabin must have been nice.

Of course lots of people smoked but most smoked cigarettes. Even so there were quite a few pipe men about.@@TommyRepulsed

It's not really weed it's just tobbaco

I've started, but I've noticed too much fake piping for my taste so it seemed redundant (e.g. Martin Freeman never draws on his pipe)

@@TommyRepulsed oh ok, thank you for the answer

According to a smokingpipes.com article. Pipe smokers have a higher average IQ than Cigar smokers... Go on, join the club...

I smoke both. Pipes more in fall and winter and cigars in spring and summer.

Hence the title and videodescription? 😂

I won't pretend pipesmoking is healthy or anything, but since you mention lungs specifically, are you avare that pipesmoke is not meant to be inhaled? (neither does cigarsmoke), you can do whatever you like, some surely inhale it, but usually it is just puffed.
