Hobbit Office

youtube.com

After saving Middle-earth, Bilbo (Martin Freeman), Gandalf (Bobby Moynihan), Gollum (Taran Killam), Legolas (Kyle Mooney) and Tauriel (Kate McKinnon) take up office jobs. This mashup parody combines The Hobbit with the UK version of The Office, featuring Freeman reprising both his role as Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit trilogy and his character Tim Canterbury from the original UK Office series in a brilliant meta-sketch. The sketch opens with Bilbo explaining how after his heroic quest, he now works at a paper company selling paper "memes of the phone" and drives a Jetta. The sketch features classic Office-style pranks (ring in jelly instead of stapler), awkward workplace moments, uncomfortable dancing, and romantic tension between Bilbo and an elf colleague, all while maintaining the Middle-earth setting with orcs as coworkers and ending with giant spiders breaching the parking lot.

What have I been up to? I went on a quest. Saved middle earth. Became a bit of a hero. Did the noble thing and turned down loads of treasure. Yeah, so the brave Hobbit Bilbo Baggins now works at a paper company. Selling paper memes of the phone. And I drive a Jetta. - Bilbo
More so than a boss, I'm more of a chilled out entertainer/wizard. - Gandalf
Ring in the jelly, huh? - Gandalf
Dildo Baggins? - Gandalf
Those shall not pass! Cheeky! - Gandalf
Oh! Ha-ha. Hilarious. Very funny. I'm fairly amused. - Gollum
That was nasty tricksies! - Gollum
Well, you don't choose the people you work with. Or go on a quest with. So, when you have a connection with someone, that means something. - Bilbo
Okay, there's now giant spiders in the parking lot. - Bilbo
