10 Best Times The Lord Of The Rings Appeared In Other Movies
5. This Is The End (2013)
The smoking of pipe-weed was an exercise practiced originally by hobbits of the Shire and soon became wide spread across Middle-earth. Tolkien likely considered pipe-weed to be some form of tobacco, but the inclusion of something a little more potent might explain why the hobbits enjoyed such a laid back existence.
Given Seth Rogen's predilection for referencing pop culture and getting baked, it was only a matter of time before a pipe-weed gag showed up in one of his scripts.
This Is The End was almost prophetic in that it signalled the last truly enjoyable movie featuring Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and James Franco. Danny McBride playing a douchebag version of himself was a highlight, and Jonah Hill playing an insincere Hollywood-nice-guy also offered up some laughs.
But an early giggle came when Seth Rogen was shown doing what he does best - smoking weed. Weed and Seth Rogen go together like Frodo and the Ring. Pulling fat rips from Gandalf's pipe, and saying, "Hello, little hobbit, spark my ganja" couldn't be more Rogen if it tried.
