Tolkien Theme - Parodies

These are nearly all humorous/comedy based, however there are a few which are serious.

From a collectables perspective, this is concentrating on commercially available items (although a few non-commercial but professionally made productions are also included).

There is also a lot of general amateur/fan made humour, spoof and parody available directly on the Internet.

Books

Bored of the Rings

Sellamillion

The Wobbit

The Superfriends of the Rings (this is the second part of the Wobbit series, see above)
Note, the cover is a parady of the official Barbera Remington Fellowship of the Ring cover.

The Soddit

An Unexpected Parody

The Lord of the Grins

The Mobbit

Muddle Earth
See also Audiobook below
There is also a follow up book Muddle Earth Too, although this is not so much a Tolkien parody.
It was also made into a Children's Animated TV Series by the BBC, again there is very little Tolkien parady in this. I am also not aware of this beng available commercially, apart from a Soundtrack CD

The Roadkill of Middle Earth

Het Verband van de Ring
Graphic Novel
    

The Last Ringbearer
This is not a humourus parady, it is a series novel looking at an alternative view of events in Middle Earth.
