An Uruk-hai orc yells \"Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!\" after permission to eat is given (which also raises the question of how an orc knows what a menu is). The close-up shows grey skin, stringy hair, and yellow rotting teeth bared in a snarl under blue moonlight. The format celebrates something returning or becoming available again. For a more dignified celebration, see Leonardo DiCaprio Cheers. For announcing good news with unhinged energy, see DJ Khaled Another One.","format":"classic","exampleCaptions":["WHEN THE FAST FOOD PLACE BRINGS BACK YOUR FAVORITE ITEM","MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS"],"exampleAltText":"Meat's Back On The Menu meme about a fast food place bringing back your favorite item","exampleRefreshDate":"2026-05-05","howToMake":["The Uruk-hai is snarling and ready to feast.
