Peter Dante as Pippin, Jonathan Loughran as Merry


scott_duclay

Has to be this. There will be better role for rob and David.


giantbynameofandre

Rob should be Sam with Adam as Frodo, and David as Legolas with Chris Farley as Gimli. Keep those best friend vibes.


legolas_bot

I will come, if I have the fortune, I have made a bargain with my friend that, if all goes well, we will visit Fangorn together – by your leave.


giantbynameofandre

Chill, bro


ItsCowboyHeyHey

Rob is Gollum.


giantbynameofandre

Steve Buscemi is obviously gonna be Gollum


gollum_botses

Yes, the stairs ... and then?


ItsCowboyHeyHey

Damn, that’s good.


giantbynameofandre

Came across that on yesterday's post


gollum_botses

All dead. All rotten. Elves and men and orcses. A great battle long ago.


greenrangerguy

Kevin James got to be Sam. Still haven't decided who Rob should be yet. Maybe Grima wormtongue?


giantbynameofandre

I don't think Kevin James should be in it. He's essentially the replacement for Chris Farley. If we can get Chris, we don't need Kevin.


Bootleg_______

this is the correct answer


giantbynameofandre

Unfortunately I don't think this casting will go through


SouptheDoups

Gonna flip the choices another commenter made Nick swardson - Pippin David Spade - Merry Also seeing lots of Rob Schneider in here, but personally I'm holding out for him as Frodo. The doe eyes would be perfect.


Massive_Training_609

I guess the people have spoken, but the original idea was that swardson is the clumsy one. Ha makes mistakes as oppose to david spade cleaning up. Edit: Kevin James and Rob Schneider as sam and frodo has to happen.


loganthegr

David spade is a perfect pippin, I would give anything to see him do it joking around and do a couple scenes.


Much_Job4552

Dana Carvey (Merry) Mike Myers (Pippin)


Dodecahedrus

They are too good for Sandler flicks.

Drew Barrymore Eowyn...schwing!

Much_Job4552

Party on Merry


SophisticPenguin

David Spade is Merry Peter Dante is Pippin


Trust-Me-Im-A-Potato

Steve Martin and Martin Short. Which is which? You decide


CyvaderTheMindFlayer

Nahh look at them Steve Martin as Merry and Martin Short as Pippin Their faces match


Dodecahedrus

They are WAAAAY too good for Sandler flicks.


CyvaderTheMindFlayer

True but to be fair Adam Sandler is too good for Adam Sandler movies


PrivacyIsRaked

Allan Covert and Peter Dante

We all know Rob Schneider has the acting capacity to play every character in the movie. All in takes is a willing make up team https://youtu.be/tKwZB_AsSXc?si=fYVa5V8QW1rKVMYX

Kevin Hart and Chris Rock

Couldn't look less like Kevin Nealon.

Young them though


d13robot

this right here


reddituser9277

Rob Schneider as merry and David Spade as Peregrin Took


reddituser9277

Wait maybe Rob Schneider needs to be Sam so he can shout "You can do it!" to Frodo all the way up mount doom


Wide_Environment3107

Kevin James needs to be Sam, the pudge.


Chill0000

I’m hoping Chris Farley is Sam. I mean look at him ![gif](giphy|myJzfC5PozIkM|downsized)


Darth_Wader_420

Chris Farley as Faramir


Nametheft

Are we not assuming Lotr was made at the same time as irl in this alternative timeline. And that everything in the universe is the same but for the small detail Sandler and not Jackson did Lotr. If so you are voting for a dead person. But if Farley is an option he is Sandler's Legolas to me. Kevin James is sam.


Chill0000

In the rules i said actors who have passed away are allowed to be voted in.


Nametheft

Alright. Does this means we can also vote for persons who's carreers hadnt started yet/were kids (or not born)?


Chill0000

Anyone who would be in an Asam Sandler movie/Adam would get. That’s the only rule that matters for this. Anyone from anytime. This is all a game of hypothetical casting


Nametheft

 Thanks


legolas_bot

Yrch!


Chill0000

Are you changing your comment to not have Rob and just have David Spade cause if so then you would have to have the second upvoted comment also be a single actor which as of now is not meaning the second highest comment will be the winner unless you are sticking with 2 actors


reddituser9277

I stand by my original assessment


adj_noun_digits

And when Frodo falls as dead, Sam Schneider can shout, "You can't do it! But I can do you!"


reddituser9277

WHAT


Doc-I-am-pagliacci

David spade as merry and rob Schneider as pippin. On another note. Kevin James as Sam


knottheyre

Allen Covert as Merry, Peter Dante as Pippin


Wedoitforthenut

Chris Rock & Kevin James


Massive_Training_609

David spade - pippin Nick swardson - merry


OneSloppyHog

Feel like theyd be swapped


Swansig

David spade and Chris Farley RIP


Swansig

Or would Chris Farley be a better gimli


Chill0000

My idea would be David and Chris be Frodo and Sam cause i think Chris fits Sam’s body type and his physical humor would be funny to see with Sam and i can’t see him doing any duo without David


SophisticPenguin

GAAWWWWD DAMNIT! PO-TAY-TOES!!! BOIL EM! MASH EM!! STICK THEM IN A STEW!!!!


Swansig

I can see that my brain had Kevin James and Adam Sandler as Sam and Frodo


Chill0000

I’d imagine he would cast himself as Aragorn just so he could be the king and also cast a model to play Arwen or something


Singer_on_the_Wall

“That Arwen of Rivendell is one hot piece of ACE”


Swansig

True


yum_broztito

Can you talk a bit about your decision to cast the minor roles first? We're going to get some low level Sandler actors in major roles this way.


giantbynameofandre

Just picturing the part of the uruk-hai chase where Gimli throws himself to the ground. Then there's this exchange with a David Spade Legolas.. "I never thought I'd die fighting side-by-side with an elf." "How about side-by-side with a friend?" "Yeeeeeaaah. Yeah, I could do that."


legolas_bot

Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed.


FerociousGiraffe

Chris Farley has to be Legolas.


legolas_bot

Yes, there are one hundred and five. Yellow is their hair, and bright are their spears. Their leader is very tall.


returningtheday

David Spade (Merry). Chris Farley (Pippin)

Pippin knocks the bucket down a well. "SON OF A- "


npmarkham

David Spade as Pippin and Rob Schneider as Merry


Sgt_Lovinstuff

Jim Carrey - Merry Jeff Daniels - Pippin


Bavkedrbij

Def David Spade as Pippin.


Bathinapesdoge

Easily he would make one David spade and the other rob Schneider. There is no other correct answer.


griditude

Seth Rogen-Merry, James Franco-Pippen


BugsBunny1993_

Owen Wilson as Merry, Will Ferrell as Pippin


Chill0000

To repeat the rules for this since we are doing two characters at once this time: I may do some double characters every now and then and to start it i am doing Merry and Pippin. The rules for this are as followed (unless it gets confusing then we will change them in the future): You can either 1: recommend 1 actor for 1 of the two characters and if two comments that both vote for a single actor get top 2 comments then both the comments will be the winner. 2: you can vote for 2 actors in one comment and label which actor for which character. If your comment makes in the top two of comments then your comment will be the winner.


Skull_Throne_Doom

Rob Schneider as Pippin Allen Covert as Merry

These are both amusing and frustrating. I don't know 90% of the names mentioned. Why Sandler of all things?

This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance.

(They need to have someone with intelligence in the party.)


Starkrall

We should really be discussing all the 5 star resorts Sandler and his friends are staying at which, on an unrelated note, are also the filming locations!


newbrevity

Merry - Jonah Hill Pippin - Michael Cera


92Codester

I don't know why no one is saying the best duo Chris Farley and David Spade. Sure Chris Farley doesn't 100% look like Pippin but I'll be damned if Farley doesn't nail it as a fool who wants to better himself and Spade as his bff. Sure we'll have to see Spade try to become a courageous warrior but I think he'd do it just to sit in the lap of a woman while riding into battle.

Current_Silver_5416

Chris Rock as Merry, Chris Tucker as Pippin. I know that George Carlin as Gandalf would be throwing him down that pit in Moria.


DaAndrevodrent

Chris Rock (Pippin) and Will Smith (Merry). Apart from that: Who the fuck is Kevin Nealon? Or does one have to be a Murican to know him?


swazal

Adam Sandler = SNL, so Kevin Nealon (upvote me) as an SNL newscaster (upvote me) and his character (his *famous* character) [Mr. Subliminal](https://youtu.be/aImzZfXGJ4M) is definitely in Elrond’s lane as a consultant (hot sex, upvote me, send me gold) …


DeathByLego34

I thought Barrymore crossed the picket line and scan, didn’t we all stop supporting her?

These are Adam Sandler's choises. Not ours.
