* The ''Westernanimation/SouthPark'' episode "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" was a WholePlotReference to the series. Not only did the plot revolve around a VHS of ''The Fellowship of the Ring'', it also bears similarities to ''The Lord of the Rings'' itself, with Cartman taking on the role of Gandalf and Butters taking on the role of Gollum. The 6th Graders take on the role of the Shadow, with Scott Tenormann as a Ringwraith and unnamed teenagers as orcs. The episode immediately after that one, "The Death Camp of Tolerance," similarly parodied ''Literature/TheHobbit''--specifically the [[WesternAnimation/TheHobbit 1977 animated version]] by Creator/RankinBassProductions--in the subplot with Lemmiwinks the gerbil, who returns for a similar parody in the episode "Bass to Mouth" nine years later.
