There's no greater friendship than that of Sam and Frodo. Destined to trauma-bond together on their desperate journey to Mordor, these two Hobbits once started as mere acquaintances in the Shire. Like all friendships, they started modestly, grabbing half-pint beers at the local pub and dashing into Farmer Maggot's garden to steal his vegetables, but once the One Ring was involved, Sam and Frodo would never be the same. Not simply because the evil power of the Ring corrupted their souls as they carried it across Middle Earth, but because they learned that friendship is more than just a pint at the end of a hard week–true friendships require sacrifice, hard work, and sharing in one another's burdens.

So even if you haven't embarked on a gregarious adventure with your best buddy, you can probably think of a few times you've had to share the load to get through life together. And if that's the case, you might be blessed with a friendship much like heroic hobbits. For those of us looking to send a few memes to our own buddies, look no further and dedicate these Lord of the Rings memes to your own bestie.

And as Aragorn once said before diving headfirst into an unwinnable battle: "FOR FRODOOO!"
