Lord of the memes

Yeah, but he also brought Treebeard to Isengard, leading the ents to overthrow Saruman. Did that not make the list?

He did plenty. In the movie he lit the beacon to call Rohan. Fought in the battle for Minas Tirith, where he saved Gandalf's life. Saved Faramir's life. Saved Merry's life.

Sauron himself questioned Pippin and came away with the conclusion that he should apply his army and attention toward Minas Tirith and Gondor rather than continuing to look for the real ring-bearer right under his nose. Essentially made the entire gambit with Frodo possible.

This has been a pro-Pippin PSA

Gandalf woke the Balrog.

It's an abandoned mine, things are going to fall and make noise from time to time and they're probably used to it.
You know what doesn't happen all the time in a mine?
People don't yell "Fool of a Took!" In the language of your sworn enemy at the top of their lungs.

Yeah, not sure if "killed Gandalf" but definitely "got Gandalf killed" is more accurate.

Might recall wrong but Frodo did not destroy the One Ring, didn't he? He tried to protect it and use it but tripped on a meat-hungry Gollum at the last second.

Pippin helped Gandalf level up. Just in a roundabout way.

merely a flesh wound

got better in the sense that he recovered and improved, so its a double-win if you think about it.
