[[Emperor Ing vs. theHappyFungus]] is YouTube Poop/Video [[tennis]] match that took place on the YouChew forums between November 12 and December 27, 2008. Dubbed by Emperor Ing as "The Lord of the Tennis", the entire match was themed strictly around material from adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's ''The Hobbit'' and ''The Lord of the Rings'' series of books, and included material such as ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring''(2001), ''The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers''(2002), Ralph Bakshi's ''The Lord of the Rings''(1978) and the Rankin-Bass adaptions of ''The Hobbit''(1977) and ''The Return of the King''(1980).

This was the second match played by Emperor Ing to be given an unofficial title, and follows a rough and loose silly storyline of "Frodo and Sass" attempting to take the "Gimli, Son of Gloin"(later turned into "Gloimly, Son of Gin" or simply "the Gloimly") to "Momo", running afoul of "ManSaru" and other unpleasant characters along the way. ~~On Emperor Ing's side, this~~ results in a match driven very heavily by its added footage, with responses to the previous round appearing at interstitials throughout~~, as was the trademark of~~ Ing~~'s earlier tennis style. He~~ observed during this match, "I have noticed that all but one of my Tennis matches have a story behind them. In that I put the time to make a highly unnavigable story into my videos over the course of a tennis match."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/16-poop-tennis/5-the-poop-tennis-caf/152.html#post-1093593</ref> To further the match's theming, many posts made by Ing during its progress in reference to it invoke memes and playful lore regarding the ''Lord of the Rings'' universe, providing a decisive "Middle Earth" atmosphere.

Description:

''In this next installment, the action comes to a boil in the fifth bout between Ingon, son of Fingon, and Lady Fungus, kinswoman of Rian.

''ManSaru, determined to capture the Gloimly at all costs, launches an all-out assault on Deep's Helm, courtesy of his boys, who are buoyed on by maggots and medicine. The relentless assault is almost disastorous for Theoden and Aragorn, but a last minute save by Gandalf, back from his duel with the RogBal, saves the day.

''However, this does not mean the war is finished. ManSaru lost Deep's Helm, but the power of the Gloimly gorws ever stronger on Frodo and Sass as they make their way towards MMMMM in the land of MoMo. THe Gloimly's power starts to weaken Frodo, and draws Gollum out of his reverie to attack the two Hobbits.

''At the foot of the source of all evil, a great storm is brewing. Can these two Hobbits save Youtube Poop from the forces of the Infinite Shadow?''
