A hobbit's work is never done -- at least, not until 5 p.m.

Now that the glorious battles are over, Bilbo Baggins has settled down, working at a small paper company with the rest of his Middle Earth friends.

The Saturday Night Live sketch, above, perfectly combines Martin Freeman's roles on the British version of The Office and The Hobbit movies. The Wernham Hogg of Middle Earth also features a Ricky Gervais-like Gandalf telling dirty jokes, Gollum finding his ring in a Jell-O mold and Tauriel as a quirky receptionist.

As Bilbo (played by Freeman) says in the sketch, "You can't choose who you work with, or who you go on a quest with."
