The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy written by English high fantasy author, J.R.R. Tolkien. It is referenced several times on The Simpsons, as well as being parodied a lot.

References in The Simpsons

• In "Dude, Where's My Ranch?", Cleanie appears and puts some dirty dishes in to a sack, cuddling them saying "Ahh, my precious". Even further, Andy Serkis, the portrayer of Gollum, voices Cleanie.
• In "Rome-old and Juli-eh", Bart and Lisa build a fort out of cardboard boxes. Later, Rafael comes to ask for the boxes back, but Bart and Lisa refuse, leading to Rafael threatening to come back with others, in a very cliché Lord of the Rings voice. When Rafael comes back, he is accompanied by an army of delivery people. They them begin war, with The Fields of Pelennor playing as background music (a piece of music from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy). The battle is a parody of the Battle of the Hornburg from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. As well as a delivery man riding a fell beast (much like a Nazgûl), several remarks are made, mirroring ones made in the film trilogy.
• In "Marge Gamer", Bart's character in Earthland Realms acts similar to a Nazgûl.
• In The Simpsons Game, in the level NeverQuest, Mobbits appear, a parody, in both name and appearance, of Hobbits. Also, after Homer receives the keycard, he says "My precious", again referencing Gollum.
• In "That 90's Show", Comic Book Guy is heard saying "And that is why The Lord of the Rings is unfilmable".
• In "Pranks and Greens", Homer says "You found the precious!", referencing Gollum.
