AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The meme 'Looks Like Meat's Back On The Menu, Boys' features a line from the movie 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.'

OriginWho did it first?
The phrase 'Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!' originates from a scene in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' where a group of orcs, who have captured the hobbits Merry and Pippin, are debating over food. During the scene, after an orc attempts to eat the hobbits despite their leader's order not to harm them, the leader kills the dissenting orc and declares the now-famous line. This line gained notoriety for its apparent anachronism, sparking humor and confusion among fans. The scene can be viewed on YouTube.[1]
