There is a lot of walking in The Lord of the Rings, so much so that it's inspired a YouTube comedian to wonder just what the Fellowship chatted about on its journey. As any hiker knows, small talk is a big part of any hike or long walk, and YouTube user Joz Norris came up with a funny and delightful video that imagines what Frodo and company might have been discussing on their journey to destroy the One Ring at Mt. Doom.

　　Walking alone and talking to the camera, Joz Norris imagines they're part of the Fellowship and need to come up with basically anything to talk about, which leads to some wonderful sequences. In one part, Norris says, "Okay, let's play a game. Guess what I'm thinking about?" Norris then smiles and looks at the camera, as if communicating with another member of the party. "It is the ring, yeah."

　　"Do you remember when those Orcs ambushed us back there? So annoying," he says in another segment. "I wish they'd just leave us alone."

　　Another line that stands out involves the simple kind of "what if?" question that comes up often during small talk. "So, if you were Sauron and you had to choose to either be a big eye or a big ear or a big bum, which would you choose?" Norris says. "Yeah, I know, but if you had to be one of them?"

　　The full video is a delight and well worth watching, so check it out in the video embedded above (via ComicBook).

　　Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film series celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, as Fellowship of the Ring debuted in theaters in December 2001. The series remains popular, and Amazon is currently producing a new TV series in New Zealand that has a massive budget.

　　In other Lord of the Rings news, Amazon recently canceled its Lord of the Rings MMO due in part to a reported contract dispute. A game focused on Gollum is in the works for 2022 after previously being planned for 2021.
