Saruman the Stinky

Gandalf the white... Gandalf the FOOL Two can play at that game Saruman the white. Saruman the STUPID Saruman the silly Saruman the wrinkly SARUMAN THE STINKY NOOOOOOOO

A hand-drawn animated parody of Gandalf and Saruman from The Lord of the Rings, depicted as wizard cats trading increasingly childish insults. Gandalf starts by calling Saruman “the white,” Saruman retaliates, and the exchange escalates through “stupid,” “silly,” “wrinkly,” and finally “stinky,” ending with Gandalf’s dramatic “NOOOOOOOO.” Howard Shore’s ominous orchestral track “Saruman the White” makes the petty name-calling absurdly epic and heightens the punchline, so the clip works as a reaction to an insult or comically overdramatic argument.
