The 'Second Breakfast' meme originates from a scene in the 2001 film 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.' It refers to a humorous dialogue where Peregrin 'Pippin' Took expresses his desire for a second breakfast, despite already having eaten one. This scene effectively captures the hobbits' hearty appetite and love for multiple meals, which has turned into a popular meme among fans.
The meme is derived from a scene where the hobbit characters, along with Aragon, are journeying from Bree to Rivendell. As they prepare to move on from their resting area, Pippin, played by Billy Boyd, humorously inquires about having a second breakfast after Aragon, portrayed by Viggo Mortensen, urges them not to delay for more food. This interaction highlight's Pippin's comical focus on meals even during urgent times. The scene is captured in this video clip.[1]
