Gandalf is the wizard created by J. R. R. Tolkien for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and he became widely recognisable through Peter Jackson's film adaptations. Short voice clips of the character have long circulated online because his distinctive delivery is easy to recognise even out of context. This funny version is shared in the same way, passed between soundboards and editing communities as a reaction clip rather than a serious film excerpt, which explains why it still appears in memes, streams and short videos years after the films.
