If Hannibal took his elephants over the Himalayas he was taking a really, really long detour from his invasion of the Italian peninsula. Still, pretty funny.
Iirc in the book, Pippin regrets not having looked at the maps after he and Merry are kidnapped. He had never anticipated being separated from the others.
Have you actually had to use a map before? They're not that hard to use especially when you're familiar with your surroundings maybe if you were in a foreign country it would incur some difficulty 🤔 but boasting of such an inadequate skill such as the use of a map when technology has replaced and surpassed the ways of the past is folly in my opinion. You would rather that we return to a time of stick and stones when we were no better than beasts? Sorry for the paragraph but it annoys me seeing people like you try to disregard the hard work of past generations to improve everything we have
I love how he broke character doing the Legolas joke and then just added in as part of the show. Although that was the first time i wondered if he actually writes these scripts himself or if he has help. Unusual for jokes to keep their humor after you know the punchline and expect it. And the writing and impressions keep distracting me from the actually brilliant acting and characterization. Making your voice sound like someone else is a talent, but actually _acting_ like that person, their expressions, their personalities, that's difficult stuff. I'm surprised he's not a professional actor in some capacity. He obviously has the ability, well above average.
He has a fair point about the Gollum eyes. In the book he just says he suddenly seemed like a mean and dangerous, grasping little creature and his demeanour changed. It was just a difference in how Frodo perceived him and his behavior, not that he actually altered form in any meaningful way. But that's hard to portray on film, and you need to make it clear to the dumber viewers what's happening. That cant just think Bilbo suddenly had a flare up of his bad temper or something. And it can easily be argued that what's seen on screen isn't what actually happened, but represents what it _seemed_ like to Frodo.
So they just tricked Aragorn and yanked his feet out from under him? To teach him a lesson? And what if he landed slightly different and snapped his neck or spine instead? "Oh sorry about that mate, it was just a joke"? I might as well say i haven't watched the second two films since i obviously barely remember any of the stuff i see. I did used to smoke a lot of weed and drink a lot, and it was like 20 years ago now.
I don't really get the but about the horse. Isn't that just the normal way to send a horse away? It's almost cliche, except it's correct. A good horse is trained to stay with the rider and not wander or run. If you want it to go away from you, you give it a slap and startle it so it runs. Orherwise it will probably try to follow you. Not that that's something you often do with valuable horses, which are not as easy to obtain as films seem to think they are. There is a reason horse theives used to be hung, because they represented a substantial investment, something like a tractor or truck today. People brag about their $100,000 cars like they were rich, but that's relatively cheap for a tractor or heavy truck, or any serious farm or construction equipment. And a horse was the pinnacle of ambition for most common people though most of history. Although oxen were more useful and lower maintenance, less vulnerable. A horse was like buying a luxury car, only for the more successful who could afford it. And also more likely to be stolen or break down, but faster and more stylish for when you wanted transportation. The oxen would pull your wagon to town, but quite slowly and not in style. But they could also plow a field and pull out stumps and stones that most horses can't handle. So they were like pickup trucks compared to BMWs. But both were more expensive relative to income than the cars are today. And you couldn't easily get financing, and if you did the usury would be absolutely shocking by modern standards. Like 100% interest wasn't unusual. But in the films they always just come up with a horse somewhere, it's always a good horse, never a broken down nag or problem horse, and they just abandon them with equal ease. At least Tolkien made their getting the pony a plausible thing. It was quite expensive, and in poor shape when they got him, and he made their releasing him into a little subplot that was resolved. Guy always got it right, somehow.

One can not simply make a tug joke without breaking character👌2:49
-Boromir son of Denethor
i can’t stop laughing at Boromir
"Whistle, whistle, whistle...tweet, tweet, tweet..." I've got to stop watching these while drinking coffee, I'll choke to death someday.
Those 10 seconds of Elrond and Gandalf singing "dee dee dah dah dee" to the theme is absolutely priceless. Made my day. 😂
"A slight tug" broke me, I can't stop fuckin laughing!
I think it was "a sly tug"
Underrated content on YT. Thanks for creating this 😭
If Hannibal took his elephants over the Himalayas he was taking a really, really long detour from his invasion of the Italian peninsula. Still, pretty funny.
Hannibal came up from northern Africa. Himalayas?
I think we all caught that ... I just assumed that that was the joke, included just to burn Boromir's "knowledge"
Boromir reminds me of my one slow mate in high school that randomly says smart things out of the blue
Gandalf is a special character indeed.
Legolas sounds like Anakin... 🤣🤣
You would think with a bit of time at Rivendell that Frodo may have had a glance at a map. Youth of today rely too much on sat nav.
Iirc in the book, Pippin regrets not having looked at the maps after he and Merry are kidnapped. He had never anticipated being separated from the others.
@@dronesclubhighjinks I think you are right.
@@dronesclubhighjinksthis is incorrect, this scene happens when Gandalf is taking him to minis tirith.

@@BigBroKuma bless! I was joking, the clue being that they didn’t have sat nav in Middle Earth!

Now i know these are slightly different edits from the main channel i have to watch them all.
Thanks Charlie 😊
This is best canon Legolas. Orlando Bloom, take notes!
How haven’t you popped up in my recommended before. Brilliant!
Haha Elrond went from being a baby to his normal self eventually.
Whenever I travel to town, I have to take 'The path of dodging dog sh!t'.
Degollumize is a wonderful word.
Gandalf has some powerful looking quads. Most be from all that mountain climbing
Love the middle finger hand model 😂😂😂
my lord, this legolas got Attitude.
It's amazing when he takes credit for bringing down the troll with one shot. *three snaps* "one shot, cool baby, ice cool."
Having a slight tug in your tent 😂
Sly
These videos are awesome. Great work.
Gandalf just shoving chips through his cheek. lol
crisps
Love this content 🎉
Mellon!
😂😂😂 Charlie love you so much
This is hilarious!
Thanks!
You do realise this is not the main channel who created these
This channel is run by me as well

Legolas being an uber-woke DEI prophet kind of makes sense 😆
Wanted to make sure this was Charlie’s channel and not someone stealing his content.
it's my channel (Charlie)
Wait is this another Charlie channel?
tis'
@@NotGandalfClips best news ever!!! 😍 Love these clips.
It's hard to believe that Legolas married Katie Perry. Sauron won after all.
A shame that Peter Jackson didn’t make the mountain “Caradhras“ a separate character! That is what Tolkien did, after all.
So they just tricked Aragorn and yanked his feet out from under him? To teach him a lesson? And what if he landed slightly different and snapped his neck or spine instead?

Why can't you do Gimli or Tom Bombadil? I just noticed that neither of those have the AI faces like the rest.
You know what? Why didn't they ride horses? Most of them ride there anyway. Boromir and Gimli just flat out left there horses there.
Fuckin a....

Why are there two channels? Is this a rip off of Charie Hopkinson or he doing this?
I think it’s a rip off
@@carlstanford7607it's an official channel. This is just Gandlafs personal attempt.

My dude, you should just release clips on the official channel and not on a sepperate, that way you get more subscribers faster
Borimir please chill out 😂😂😂
Too bad Gandalf doesn't have the magical ability to create a safe bubble or something, that would be really useful in the mountains.
Oh, wait...
