This iconic meme originates from the 2002 film 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.' During a scene where a group of Uruk-hai and Orcs are arguing over whether to eat their Hobbit captives, the Uruk-hai leader, Uglúk, decapitates a rebellious Orc and declares to the group, 'Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!' Internet users often find humor in the fact that Orcs apparently understand the concept of a restaurant menu. Today, the meme is used to express excitement when something that was previously unavailable makes a sudden return, or when a situation takes a favorable turn for the better.
