The Lord of the Rings movies were incredibly successful and critically acclaimed, for good reason. With revolutionary special effects, costumes, make-up and more -- Peter Jackson’s movies became instant classics.
But The Lords of the Rings: The Two Towers still raises a few questions. Like why is falling from high up an okay thing for good guys? How many fake-out deaths can they put in these things? Why does Saruman look like he lost a contact lens? Why would they let Wormtongue leave? Why do all the orcs have Cockney accents?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

the "so he talks to himself like he’s two different people?" joke took a while to hit cause im so used to seeing ryan as 2 people
Same, I can't believe it took me so long to get that joke.
I never would have gotten it without reading this comment
69th comment😌😏
@@dcthepro1339 69th like you mean
@@bjp4869 you really need some joke classes
I know a guy
“He just kinda frantically looks around like he lost a contact lens” is both ridiculous and somehow accurate
"Don't move! Nobody move! Oh God. Oh, no. Aw, my mom's gonna be so pissed!" - Saron(age12)
This bit killed me!!
Does... Does that make you soulscion the white?
Haha Lolol
Little known fact: Sauron actually did lose his contact lens. Thank goodness for Family Guy accurately reporting stuff.
"So what's that made of?"
"*Plot Armor*"
I love these Pitch Meetingsss
They are preciousssss
I’ve heard the same about “protagonist armor” 😆
This is my only issue w this particular pitch meeting. I mean, everyone and anyone that knows anything about fantasy adventure knows that Cloaks of Elven Kind helps characters hide. In this very way even, lol.
@@ReparationsNation So plot armor
LMAO!
Damn, spilt my tea.
King: "Let's draw swords together!"
Aragorn: "Uhhh, not the best time for an art project sir...."
This!
NayeemRed I second that.
...and yet it could've ben interpreted in a COMPLETELY different way as well.
@@egregius9314 Er, yeah, that's the way I interpreted it. But I guess Pitch Meeting is too family-friendly for that.
Egregius yeah that’s how I interpreted it. Honestly took me a beat to get the art project joke
A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. You will get that in the second movie Frodo.
I tried saying this at work and now I am unemployed.
@@stickyspaceman Oof man!
@@stickyspaceman so u r a wizard cool
@@stickyspaceman i mean... i had the same thing but my employer's sub contractor's HR dictated the rules saying that you can't be in the building early, you also can't buzz in late, you literally could only be on time if you buzzed in the minute your shift started...but then since you weren't on the floor working when your shift started you were still late.
Or if you read the Bible lol
“So he talks to himself like he’s two different people?”
“Yeah!”
“This guys got problems!”
*dead*
I didn’t get this scene at first as I am so accustomed to these videos by now 😂
This joke might be one of his best
I loved that part
One of the most meta jokes ever told.
@@paulhill4382 lol. Right! At least while I'm watching, I totally conceptualize Producer Guy and Screenwriter Guy and TWO SEPERATE entities. I KNOW they are both Ryan, and yet.......
"What? Do the Orcs all have Cockney accents?"
"They do, yeah"
"Oh, inexplicable accents are toight!!"
Yeah, but they are all pretty strong kiwi accents, not cockney
Do you think that was a dig at Les Miserables?
In’it! 😄
"Roight" !
Noice!
"That freakin ring makes everybody sketchy"
As good a summation of the whole series as I've seen
Married people: Tell me about it!
And this is why you don't have eagles close to it.
That's basically the message of the story. The Ring of Power. Makes people sketchy.
Very deep symbolism, you see
There are many better "summations" but it isn't wrong I suppose.
Except Sam, he’s a real one.
M. Night Shyamalan should have screamed a third time: “it’s happening”
ToeKnee Balony would like to know your location
Bet
I was waiting for that joke 😸
What movie was he talking about?
@@amrkhairi1716
"The Happening."
Producer Guy forgot his own name when he died, but not the plot that Screenwriter Guy was telling him. *That* is commitment to one's work
Wow wow wow wow, wow
Commitment to the job is *toit* !!
Well Gandalf didn’t forget either
or maybe he did forget but got instantly hooked when he heard there was a battle going on
I really hope “producer guy” will be Producer Guy the White again in the 3rd one!
Oh please make this happen for the third movie pitch meeting. Pitch Meeting consistency is tight!
Producer guy the white is tight
looks more like Producer guy the Pink
I'm really gonna need you to get off my back about that
Why does this comment not have more likes??
The fact that he took a jab at himself about making conversations to himself and replying as if he was a different person was absolutely GENIUS!!!
"No, he's just kind of frantically looks around like he lost a contact lense." Actually had to stop the video there because I was laughing too much.
I had to stop the video multiple times this one was freaking hilarious.
Omg, me too!

@@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081 I just needed to know how the reply would look like.
Ditto
I'm sorry Ryan. It's impossible for me to acknowledge you as a single person anymore. So you're not nuts.
I had a brief blank moment trying to catch the joke
AND THEN It hit me ahahahahahahha
We got so used to the characters ahahahahhaha
I used to make fun of superman, but it totally works
I definitely wouldn't have gotten the joke if he didn't make it so obvious!!!
Well, Ryan is going to need for you to step allll the way off his back.
Wait? That's only one person?
"Well to be honest sir, this part wasn't in the books" was probably the entire pitch meeting of the Hobbit movies
My boss hates when I say, "I'm gonna need you to stay allllll the way off my back," when he asks for work updates 🤣
It will be so funny if your boss answer okay i will go off your back now
@@luhuntrix6928 That's better than the boss saying I will get off on your back now.
That’s not nice he should just get off of that thing
I snorted hard at "inexplicable accents." It's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything or I might have become Suho the White.
I read this comment before seeing that part and still almost died myself
Snorting hard at inexplicable accents is tight.
Toight*
@@rknight56 snorting the white is tight.
@@the_hanged_clown not tight
*T i O g H t*
Producer: So what happens in this movie?
Legolas: "Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?"
that's from the movie!
Huh? Wha? Wut?
This is easily in the top 3 Pitch Meetings for me. So many first-rate jokes from"inexplicable accents are toight" to "so he talks to himself like he's two different people" to the M. Night Shyamalan joke to the Wormtongue joke to the Producer Guy the White joke...Just a masterclass in comedy writing.
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
I keep telling people that but somehow people still expect punctuality. Sheesh.
@@christineharrelson4831 Wouldn't that make them as punctual as they wanna be?
"He's just talking to himself and replying as if he's two different people?"
"Yeah he's frickin' nuts."
"This guy's got problems."
Oh boy, I didn't catch that at all... ^^
Me neither, I honestly thought Shyamalan was gonna say again "Hey, multiple personalities, great idea for a movie!"
The best breaking the forth wall moment :P
That's a cry for help :P
@@JordyToons I mean...it isn't like it is the first time he's done that joke...
"Producer Guy the White" LOL!
... that Wig though lol 😂
Wow wow wow
ow ow
He is a little pinkish tough
Producer Guy the White is tight.
At least he didn't make any white power jokes.
"Even the TREES are going to walk..."
Omg i lost it when he said that line...
Ima say that was a Clerks reference
@@animazen are you ready for the 3rd movie?! Lol
The average tree does walk 8 miles a year.
There are so many walking that even the trees are gonna walk.
I swear these pitch meetings
@@detaaditya6237literally was a Clerks 2 joke
When he says, "yes sir i do" his grin is just infectious!
Ryan George died from carrying Screen Rant on his back for so long
NOT YOU Screen Rant: okay we’ll get off of that thing
@@saifsufian4286 we all know they won't
Yeah, but then he came back as Ryan George the White and apart from a little memory loss, he's as sharp as ever!
He's Ryan the white now
Calling him "Ryan the White" in 2020 MIGHT be problematic 🤷♂️
"Let this be the hour where we draw swords together."
"Oh, a little art project? Not the best time for it but still fun."
LOL.
I love Ryan
I was really expecting a "oooh, a little homoerotic romance subplot" reply to the "draw swords together" line.
@@colonelquack I thought that too, but 'a little art project' kind of works with that as a euphenism anyway, especially if they filmed it.
"So he's talking to himself like he's two different people?"
Me: ....
Me: ...
Me: Oh I get it!
😂 lol
Seriously though, Do "pirates of the Caribbean" The only successful movie based on a theme park ride. Scripts written in crayon. Johnny Depp playing himself.... I mean, do you need me to pitch this to you?
Wait, what? LOL. Where can I read more about the script being written in crayon. That's insane.
@@BiggDeli I think they're joking.
'I have a pitch meeting pitch for you sir. It's a for a pitch meeting based on a film series based on a Disney themepark ride...'
@@Protoman888 haven't we tried that with haunted mansion, country bears, and a bunch of others that all bombed hard.
Yep.
Depp playing himself? He got nominated b/c the character was so unorthodox.
Sometimes these sketches seem so real and natural that i dont even pick up the self aware talking-to-yourself-jokes
Yep, even though they look and sound exactly alike, I still think of them as separate, individual entities.
"Inexplicable accents are toyt." - For the win!
I’m vexed I had to scroll this far to see this comment.
@@attiasprouse682 ah so someone DID mention it!
The wormtongue joke is probably the best in this entire series. Makes me lol every time
4:09 I still yelled "No!" As Aragorn went over the edge, just like I did when I was a kid. 😂
The elves in the Tolkien universe were renowned for their ability to meld plot armor into their equipment.
Haldir shouldn't have left his at home
The elves didn't even come in the books
@@waffleman4137 So... How'd they win the battle then?
@@dkisausome The defenders were able to hold off the horde for a while, then in the morning Gandalf came with fighters from the westfold of Rohan, and they rode in and the orcs were scared and were being destroyed, and the Rohirrim won the battle, and by the way, Èomir was always at Helm's Deep.
@@waffleman4137 it also didn't hurt that there were like 2,000 Rohirrim defending the place, not 300 old men and children.
Then Aragorn jumps off his horse, does a back flip, snaps the bad guys neck and saves the day.
Actually Gollum does all that. Except the horse part. ;)
No,Aragorn doesn't snap necks.He has a greatsword,he stabs.
... saves the bad guy's snap and necks the day
Wow wow wow, wow
SMH I got it bravo22.
Almost all of your pitch meetings are gold. This one is made of Mithril because of how awesome it is.
“Inexplicable accents are toight.”
This guy's got problems...
He carries Screen Rant with Pitch Meetings!
Indeed. I literally subscribed simply due to him. ^^
Exactly! I even forget I'm not watching his channel!
Waoh waoh waoh... waoh
Screen Writer Dude "Screen Rants gonna need to get ALL the way off my back with their channel"!
SR: "But our channel will fail without you"!
SWD: "Whoops"!
SR: "Whoopsie"!
@NOT YOU he is not saying woah.. He is saying lile ryan says wow wow wow
Took me a second to get the "talking to himself joke" but after that I had to pause because I was laughing so hard
More like "Producer Guy the light lilac" don't know what happened there.
He dyed.
Nokaret so punny! xD

"Falling from great heights isn't really fatal in these movies."
Star Wars: *looks nervous*
War Machine/Colonel Rhodes in Cap. America Civil War... "Hold my beer"
Speaking of falling from great heights not hurting anyone.
How is it Gamora can jump from any height in GotG 2 and land on her feet no problem, but her fall in IW kills her???
@@CyGea
In other movies she can brace herself for a superhero landing that somehow makes you invererable to fall damage. In Infinity War she fell backwards and landed on her head.
My guess is that the soul stone killed her before she even landed. Also "so the rest of the movie can happen".
@@CyGea well she didn't land on her feet in IW, sooooo...
Smegal: "We loves the Pitch Meetings, precious. They are TIGHT."

This has to be one of the funniest pitch meetings so far.
About the Nazgul, while they serve Sauron, they aren’t extensions of his senses, so he probably wouldn’t have sensed that Frodo had the ring.
I'm gonna keep asking for Pirates of The Caribbean until it happens.
Yeah surprised they haven't done it. We do know the return of the king will be next week. Let's hope they do pirates the week after.
And I’m going to keep seconding it until it happens
100% need it!
I keep asking for Shrek 😂
Just like I'm gonna keep asking for the movie or rather the documentary "Idiocracy" until it happens.
Making great content like this is definitely not easy and probably an inconvenience. Thank you so much, keep up the great work!
Well said! The best comedy on UA-cam.
I absolutely love that joke about Golem talking to himself like be is two people which is exactly what Ryan George does here on Pitch Meeting and on his own channel Ryan George
4:45 DIDNT SEEE THAT COMINGGGGGG
Screenwriter Guy and Studio Executive Guy: Who’s Gollum and who’s Smeagol...
“I DON’T KNOW!”
“Fair enough.”
The answer is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
“I’m gonna need you to get all the way off my back about this.”
Simon Williams “Well, okay then! Lemme just get off that thing.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Screenwriter Guy seems like the evil one.
Ngl that “TOGHT” at 1:03 made me choke on my water lmao
1:02
Did you turn into trix lozer the white?
Now that he's returned as "Producer Guy the White", does this mean he can authorise even bigger budget pictures?
Have you seen a limit to his budget yet? The man is stacked
Producer Guy the White owns Canada
And thus the MCU was born.
"Inexplicable accents are TOIGHT"
I die😂
same
Screen writer guy: “so the Uruk-hai cuts the head off the smaller orc and says ‘looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!’”
Producer guy: “how do orcs and Uruks know what a menu is? Do they have restaurants and pubs in Isengard?”
Screen writer guy: “unclear”
Producer guy: “huh”
they have met Aragorn in a pub... in the first movie.
@@gamingman21 Humans, not orcs, the plot point is how orcs would know that
@@Shnauften He might be referring to some of Saruman´s spies having been in the Prancing Pony pub from the first movie, which is kind of a thing in the books. They were either half-orcs, like the Uruk-hai, or some other odd breed of men.
I would imagine Saruman's orc dens would have some sort of cantina with a menu of choice of disgusting slops.
Well they are "born" fully grown, so I'd guess they are also "born" with some basic level of knowledge of how things work.
The M. Night Shama dude eaves drop was perfect!! 😅😅😅
"Look to the East at Dawn" is Middle Earth's "On your left".
Took me a sec. to realize why they were emphasizing how crazy Gollum was for talking to himself. 🤣🤣🤣
"It's never a good idea to hire someone with 'tongue' in their name"
Depends on the profession I suppose
I still want a T-shirt that states “killing Sean Bean is tight”
I've watched so many of these that I didn't get the "talking to himself like he's two different people" joke, but the long pause after its delivery compelled me to think about it more....and then I was like "ohh wow wow wow wow wow wow"
Oh when he does ROTK’s multiple endings it’s gunna be TIGHT.
"Well where exactly was Gondor when the westfold fell then?"
"In Gondor"
"That makes sense"
Almost didn't get the "talking to himself" joke. It has become too natural in these skits. Almost like two people.
@@JoshuaJameson of course is not two guys! Didn't you meet Kevin the intern and others? ;)
Yeah, there are way more than two guys on this set!
2:14 He's talking to himself and replying as if he's a different person. This guy must be nuts 😂. And that awkward laugh after that.
He even used the Gollum/Smeagol shots that are angled exactly like the Pitch Meetings...
“Nah he’s just looking around like he lost a contact lens or something.” 😂
Screen writer guy: "So then after the battle, Gimli goes up to a random wounded orc and says 'yo, tell me what happened.' And the orc says 'he's dead!' And then..." Producer guy: "Wait! Who's dead?" Screen writer guy: "Aragorn of course." Producer guy: "A random wounded orc knows exactly who the good guys are talking about and what happened to him?" Screen writer guy: "That's what we're going with."
I’m gonna need you to get aaaall the way off my back about random orc plot knowledge
@Corvid-19 Yes. Sharku would have known that the person he was fighting with fell over the cliff, but not necessarily that it was Aragorn. In medieval times, people generally did not know what famous people looked like and could not attach a name to a face.
@@oremfrien "Sharku" was the name the orcs gave to Saruman, and means "old man" in Orcish, But yeah, some random orc wouldn't have known Aragorn's name. He wasn't wearing a nametag or anything. Besides, we humans all look alike to orcs.
@@PhilBagels You are correct that Sharku is a name given to Saruman by orcs IN THE BOOKS. In the movie script and related materials (like videogames) the orc that led the warg riders and, consequently fought Aragorn, was given the name "Sharku" so that it would fit in with the mythology. Additionally the very scene where the riders of Rohan confront the warg riders in the movie never takes place in the book, so the interactions there are entirely Jackson's,
@@luminoustorus548 Okay let me get off that thing.
"There's gonna be walking"
Son of a gun, he did read the books.
1:49 made me laugh so hard I was almost crying!
2:20 it took me a solid 10 seconds for that joke to process in my brain. I’m disappointed in myself for not catching it the first time but that was gold.
"he talks to himself"
*Slowly looks at Ryan*
Where were you looking before? :O
Don't make eye contact!
His facial expression when he hears "M. Night" chiming in is one of the funniest things that ever happened on UA-cam.
@4:29 Best part of the video! 🤣🤣🤣
These pitch meetings are brilliant - always looking forward to watching (and re-watching) them 😀👍
Me: wait Ryan’s just talking to himself like he’s 2 different people. My brain: yeah this guy is nuts Me:.....wait
When I first started watching pitch meeting videos I thought they were identical twins
No he is part of a clowning experiment
@Amel Bougrouz yes
@@randalllopez9707 Do... Do you mean a cloning experiment? A clowning experiment sounds like they're experimenting on people to turn them into clowns. And that sounds very terrifying.
@@VoidZeroNothing no they just failed no typos here
Damn! This is the best Pitch Meeting skit by far. I wonder how he could come up with so many jokes: Cockney joke, Shyamalan joke, self-awareness joke, and producer guy the white joke. They are all my favorites.
Bruh this dudes talking to himself, hes fricking nuts
Edit: Thanks for the likes yall should subscribe to me for i can beat my friends youtube channel without vids
Yeah, the dude's got problems
Loved the awkward silence after introducing Gollum.. lol
"Oooh, I think you may have died."
"Oh yeah whoops."
"Whoopsie!"
"Wow, wow, waoh, ow"!
I've watched every single one of these videos, and I think that self referential Gollum joke is one of the most perfect jokes in the whole series
That M Night bit was IMPECCABLE
I love it when the movies actually tie into the pitch meeting video idea, so meta. I love it.
That M. Night reference actually has me in tears its bloody genius
The happening lmao
And then he did a backflip snapped the bad guys neck and saved the day
Wow wow wow!
Alright, I give up. Someone post this comment every time and I still haven't learned the original reference. A little help...
Michael Gonzalez first person to write fiction
That’s what the videos called
"Even the trees walk in this movie."
Not sure if that's a Clerks 2 reference or not but I like it regardless.
So much walking in Tolkiens books he added trees or Ents to the long trek that is destroying the ring and saving middle earth.
Have you seen the movie? The Ents (which would be called Treants in D&D) go into battle :) It was my favorite part of the movie, because an army of trees is effing awesome.
Wow that Gollum moment will be in my mind forever 🤣 frickin nuts
He talks to himself like 2 people? Yes.
This guy got some problems.
Best ever description of "pitch meetings"
Just one serious point: "wizards arrive precisely when they mean to" has been established in act 1 of the first movie, so yeah, Gandalf knew exactly when he would show up with Eomer.
Exactly. He knew when he'd be back he couldn't see the future. Plus it was clearly established that future was not certain to begin with.
Gandalf could see the future in the book. He had the blessing of Manwë.
He also has a light power theme so dawn let him use the power of the rising sun to blind the orcs and this give the riders a huge advantage since the orcs couldn't see their enemies.
@@TomdeArgentina Future predicting, even by Manwë, wasn't 100% accurate.
Y'all acting like Gandalf wasn't high AF when he said that.
"They're led by none other than HALDIR!"
I love how excited he is about that and then producer guy is like "I don't know who that is..."
My favourite Pitch Meetings lines so far are:
Producer Guy: "Such a sassy ghost!"
Screen Writer Guy: "The sassiest ghost!"
“Never a good idea to hire someone with worm in their name.”
“Or tongue.”
😂
"oh yeah... he's friggin NUTS!"
"this guy's got problems!"
Poking fun at oneself is super easy ... barely an inconvenience. :D
Making fun of yourself is toyt!
"All the way off my back" is becoming my personal favorite now over "it's super easy"
Can’t wait to see the extended version
Pirates of the Caribbean needs to be on the list!!! So many plot holes in the last 3 movies of the franchise!!

@@cecilegaultier1279 What you mean 5, there are only 4 movies in that franchise.
jose juan andrade the three main movies then the one with the fountain of youth and finally the revenge of Salazar. It is 5

I'd like to see a pitch meeting for The Wizard Of Oz.
"With Dorothy's only means of escape literally flying away, I'm guessing it'll be quite difficult for her to leave."
"Actually, it's super easy; barely an inconvenience."
"Well this part wasn't in the book, so i'm gonna need you to get wayyyy off my back about the story implications."
Me and my partner both started clapping at "Producer Guy, that's what they used to call me." Just pure magic right there.
“Well they looked at each other, so...they’re in love now.” I’m pretty sure you just described shipping.
