6	Everything is fine and peaceful in [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Middle-earth]]. Humans, elves, halflings, dwarves and orcs live in perfect harmony, for they share a common pleasure: Smoking weed. Only one day Sauron "the orc king" has a ''little'' bit too much of a good time, builds himself a giant bong[[note]]Mount Doom[[/note]], and starts hoarding all the weed for use in it. When the weed starts getting slim, it can only mean war.

11	!! Tropes:
12
13	* AMFMCharacterization: Gandalf is shown listening to genres of music originating from countries stereotypically associated with cannabis use, namely gabber (a style of hardcore techno originating from the Netherlands) and {{reggae}}.
14	* AnswerCut: Gandalf debates with himself what to do now that Bilbo has entrusted him with the One Ring: "I have two options: I could either consult the Book of Infinite Knowledge to protect the poor and the weak from evil, or..." Cut to Gandalf smoking weed.
15	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Gandalf asks Bilbo for more drugs, we get the following list:
16	-->'''Bilbo''': What do you need? I can get you anything: Speed, weed, crack, heroin, LSD, ecstasy, peace, shit, cocaine, jelly babies...
17	** In the original German version and some of the sub versions, he also has Hardcore Bondage and SM porn/toys on his list. Which turns the whole list into a hilarious combination of ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and BreadEggsMilkSquick. When Galdalf asks for snuff however, Bilbo just answers "Piss off!" (which is a reference to a scene from ''[[Film/EightMM 8mm]]'')
18	%% BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens several times.
19	* ChildHater: Gandalf wasn't trying to amuse the hobbit kids with the fireworks, he is just a bad shot.
20	* ClusterFBomb: Bilbo reacts rather strongly to the prospect of having to give up the ring.
21	-->'''Bilbo''': Fuck you! Fuck you and [[YourMom your mother]], you son of a bitch!
22	%% GagDub
23	%% GermanHumour
24	* LikesOlderMen: Frodo confesses to Gandalf that he's into older men like him and frequently has erotic dreams involving them.
25	-->'''Frodo''': I'm dreaming of naked men with magic wands. That's right, old geezers like you turn me on.
26	* ShoutOut:
27	** Both "Sinnlos in Mittelerde" and "Jelly Babies" are references to [[WebVideo/SinnlosImWeltraum that other German Gag Dub]].
28	** Bilbo quotes ''Film/EightMM'' while watching the preparations for Wacken[[note]] World's biggest HeavyMetal festival (supposedly), which takes place near the village Wacken in North Germany.[[/note]] with Gandalf.
29	-->'''Bilbo''': If you dance with the devil, the devil don't change. The devil changes you.
30	%% StraightGay: Frodo, Bilbo and Gandalf.
31	%% -->'''Frodo''': Gandalf, I love you!
32	%% -->'''Gandalf''': Hahaha... poof.
33	* TheStoner: All of the characters, to varying degrees, but Gandalf is easily the worst. First, he comes to visit Don Bilbo, one of Middle Earth's biggest pushers, at home to get some dope. Near the end, when he visits Frodo who gives him the ring, he is so stoned that Frodo wonders just how many joints he has smoked. He doesn't even care for the ring anymore, the self-same One Ring of which Don Bilbo said it could make him high like he wouldn't believe. Eventually, Gandalf, previously known as Gabber Gandalf, decides to go to Jamaica "where the hemp flourishes" and to spontaneously change his nickname into Reggae Gandalf.
