Insanly Funniness in ROTK

[Linteamarthwen]

Did anyone find something absolutly funny in the movie? A lot of times I found myself laughing uncontrolable about something, small. <P>Like this one part were Aragorn and Gandalf(and friends) are talking about the coming threat of Mordor and Aragorn says something like, We will keep Saurons eye on us, for Frodo's chance to get to MT. Doom. Then after that deep moment, Legolas says, "A deversion..." OH my Gosh! It is like so obvios! Oh course its a deversion! My friend and I just kept laugh about it forever.<p>[ 8:59 AM December 18, 2003: Message edited by: Linteamarthwen ]

[The Barrow-Wight]

I also smiled at that part. <I>Legolas, elvish stuntman and speaker of the obvious.</I>. But really, besides shooting a lot and uttering corny phrases, what else was Legolas supposed to do?<P>I also laughed when Frodo, Sam, and Gollum were hiding about 4 feet away from the army of Minas Morgul. What a great hiding place!<p>[ 2:51 PM December 18, 2003: Message edited by: The Barrow-Wight ]

[Meela]

I laughed at the eagles, the whole ending, Gimli, and some other funny bits.<BR>But I always laugh in the wrong places... I laughed at the end of Titanic.

[Ainaserkewen]

I thought the humor wasn't forced at all like in TTT. People laughed in the theater because something was generally amusing, not funny. I don't think these movies ought to be "funny" but realisticly funny. They did a good job.

[Arwen1858]

I loved the part after Frodo woke up, and Gandalf was there, and everyone else came in. You see Gimli wipe away a tear... it's too funny! I would have been laughing like crazy at that one, had I not been crying already... I did laugh some, though. It was great

[mallornleaf]

I found some parts pretty amusing~ though maybe not insanely funny<P>For example~ Aragorn starts for the paths of the dead and Gimli "lets him know" that hes not going alone or the random times characters would refer to each other as "laddie" <P>Dont ask why (you dont want to know!) but i laughed when Denethor asked Pippin if he could sing more than any other part of the movie!

[Orual]

The audience at the midnight feature was very responsive, and there was a lot of laughter, especially when Gollum comments about orcs, "And they doesn't taste very good, does they, precious?" so matter-of-factly.<P>It would have been hilarious if, after Legolas says "A diversion!", Aragorn had turned around slowly, nodding a little with a confused look on his face, and said, "Well, yes, Legolas, that's more or less the whole point." Or at least Gimli could have given him a sidelong glance. Because honestly, it was one of the least intelligent things Legolas had ever said.

[Gimli stonesheild]

i gotta be quick but i loved teh part where gimli comes inat the end with the hobbits jumping all around frodo and in comes Gimli, i thought he was gonna join the hobbits and jump on the bed.

[elsye]

I really like when the screen went black and everything was quiet. The people who haven't read the books thought it was over and some even stood up to leave... and then the next scene started!

[Diamond18]

Legolas: "A diversion!"<P>Aragorn: "Thank you, Captain Obvious."<P>*Gandalf rolls his eyes*<P>Gimli: "Just like an Elf...."

[Phervasaion]

My friend found that a part of the movie had physical humour when Gandalf wacked Denethor of the head with his staff when he was going mad. I dont realy know why it looks funny because i havnt seen the film yet. I will hopefully find out tomorrow.

[doug*platypus]

<B>Definitely</B> the unintentionally funniest part would be Aragorn shoving his kingly tongue down Arwen's throat! That was terrible! But in a good way, I suppose. A lot of people in my theatre laughed out loud, nobody louder than me! I think that a lot of the more serious types were probably a bit annoyed at us doing that. It just seemed so funny, not at all regal or understated (Arwen's kiss back to him was a better example of this). Perhaps a joke on the fact that he hasn't had any action in a long time? I thought they should have added the sound effects of Denethor eating that grape! <P>For some reason people laughed when they saw Sam and Frodo in Orcs' clothes? Anyone know why this is funny, I completely missed that joke?! I assume they were all people who hadn't read the book. If so there was a disturbingly large number of them!<P>Oh yeah, Merry's cheesy grin when he first puts on the helm of Rohan was priceless. Billy Boyd was right, he <B>definitely</B> had a better costume than Dom!<P>Doesn't count as laughing, but I had the hugest grin on my face when Sméagol got the Ring back. He got his precious back!! Awww...<P>A lot of people laughed when they saw Gimli walk into the room where Frodo had been sleeping, presumable because he had this really stupid almost cross-eyed expression on his face. <B>GRARRGH!!!</B> Gimli once again has his dignity and strength pulled out from under him.<P>Also I had to laugh at the reaction when Legolas came in. It was cool, so many teenage girls swooning and gasping and making dirty comments. You fangirls are terrible!

[Tar-Alcarin]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I laughed at the end of Titanic. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, well that was just plain funny. But my mom says im jaded, so there you go. <BR>I was laughing during Pelennor because i was caught up in the moment of blood lust. But it was more the kind of laugh when something really cool is about to happen though. But when Merry and Pippen were dancing, that was funny. <P><BR>Miniature Rohirrim armor: $500. Amount of fuel it took pippen to light the beacons: $20. Seeing your two favourite hobbits get wasted and drunk: priceless

[Shy Hobbit]

The nazgul flapping around after Eowyn cut off its head reminded me of a chicken But I managed to refrain.<P>Also had to refrain when Gollum was twirling about on invisible Frodo. Worst scene in the whole movie, IMO. Should have been done from Frodo's point of view, or had Gollum just reaching from behind instead of actually going piggy back

[TheBladeThatWasBroken]

Hilarious parts:<BR>Gandalf whacking Denethor and commands the Gondorian's to return to their posts<P>"Great chance of failure and small possibility of survival... What are we waiting for?" (Or something like that) from Gimli<P>"That still counts as one"<P>The ghosts swarming Minas Tirith, sure the Mordor army has flying beasts... but the problem with Aragorn's army is... YOU CANT HIT THEM!!<P>And a bunch of things that Gimli said, when they got off the ships and at the Path of the Dead

[Orofaniel]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Legolas says, "A deversion..." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Lol...I quite agree. Legolas is a bit "slow" eh? I actually smiled and was about to laugh, but then I saw that no one else laughed so I kept it to myself...<P>I also found it very amusing when Eowyn fought with the Witch King. She said, "I'm not a man, I'm a woman!" Eowyn then takes of her helmet and she waves with her hair. The camera is only filming her face + hair, and it looks like a "shampoo commercial". And I usually laugh at silly Shampoo commercials, and this my friends, was not an exception...

[Linteamarthwen]

I believe I know why people laughed about Frodo and Sam in there orc getups. Well of course the shapes of the helmets were enough to make anyone laugh. And did you see Frodo's face?! He had the funniest look I've ever seen! His eyes were all crossed and stuff. <P>I also thought of something quite funny, The eye...I could help but laugh. When it was falling, it was all twitching and stuff. It looked like it was saying, "What's happening! I'm falling! OMG!!" hahahaha. I thought that was great!

[Lyta_Underhill]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Well of course the shapes of the helmets were enough to make anyone laugh.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I was actually delighted that they had reproduced the "long snout" design described in the book for Frodo's orc helm. I didn't notice the crossed eyes though...maybe its an aftereffect of spider poison? <P>I did think the scene where Frodo awakens after being rescued from Mt. Doom and the Fellowship comes in one by one reminds me of "The Wizard of Oz!" "You were there, and you, and I think I missed you most of all!" Frodo really seemed all Dorothy in this scene!<P>Cheers!<BR>Lyta<p>[ 12:19 PM December 19, 2003: Message edited by: Lyta_Underhill ]

[Finwe]

The parts that I thought were the most hilarious were:<P>1) When Gimli says: "An Elf will go underground, but a Dwarf will not?" I very nearly yelled out, "You wimpy Dwarf! Get your butt down there!" <P>2) When Legolas and Gimli run into the bedroom at the very end, and then Aragorn runs in looking very late. It's almost as if he's thinking, "What? The Elf and the Dwarf are getting all the action, and the High King isn't? Who's starting the party without me?"<P>3) Denethor getting a good wizardly smackdown delivered by Gandalf, and all the guards just standing there. It was absolutely hilarious! Then I thought about Meela, and just knew that she'd probably declare a vendetta against Gandalf.<P>4) After Legolas kills the oliphaunt, Gimli's yell: "That still counts as one!"

I feel so sorry for them.<P>What I thought was really funny was when the Ring falls into the fire, and the Eye just suddenly bugs out, the pupil getting all dialated and everything. It was like someone had just kicked him somewhere sensitive... <P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~

[Jjudvven]

I thought the funniest line in it was Gimli's "That still only counts as one!"<BR>The entire theatre started applauding and laughing. It was really great.

[Sauron_the_Abhorred]

I seem to be the only person to notice this, but when Barad-Dur is falling, and it cuts to Aragorn, right behing him is a guy with his mouth in an O shape, like he is blowing, and I always think he is trying to blow Barad-Dur down, like when you blow a house of cards down. <P><BR>But..........I hate it in the movies whe nthey try to make it funny, though i did laugh at parts.

[The Ninth Spelunker]

How about when Gandalf and everyone else met Merry and Pippin at Isengard, I can't remember what they said. I though it was funny when Gandalf told Pippin that it was best he didn't say anything to Denethor.

[Bill the Pony]

Agreed: Legolas is definitely the dumb blonde of the group, and that "a diversion" line takes the cake.<P>As for other unintentional funnies:<P>Here's one for those of you who have seen Office Space. When Sam asks Frodo if he can carry the ring for a spell, and his question gets echoed and echoed and echoed in Frodo's head...I swear, it's straight out of Office Space. What's said in that movie is a bit off color, so I won't repeat it here, but fans will know what I'm talking about... (hint: the bleached blonde guy says it at the bbq...)<P>And in when Gollum finally gets the ring and is jumping up and down in slow motion with music a la Carmina Burana in the background (drums and brass)...I nearly laughed out loud. It reminded me of a superbowl commericial.<P>Considering all this unintentional mirth, I'd hate to be a director - so many useful devices are cliched - what do you do? Guess that's why I'm not a director!

[Cinderella]

"It's sticky.. what is it?"<BR>Anyone... anyone? It was such a serious moment but I couldn't help myself... why did he have to say <I>that?</I> <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Here's one for those of you who have seen Office Space.

[Lily Bracegirdle]

I liked Eomer's dig about Merry. When Eowyn yells at him for discounting Merry's willingness to fight and Eomer says something like: "I do not doubt the valor of his heart... just the length of his arm." *snigger*<P>-Lily

[The Silver-shod Muse]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> But really, besides shooting a lot and uttering corny phrases, what else was Legolas supposed to do? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Hear the seagulls? I was a little disappointed that that wasn't included. It would've poked a hole the amazing, one-man Lego stunt show.

[Thulorongil]

Keep in mind that Legolas wasn't the only character with strange acts of stupidity. What about when Déagol was being pulled through the water by the fish?! If anything had to be called stupid and unnecessary in the film, it would have to be that.<P>Of course, there's always "A diversion!" and Frodo's glowing eyes in Shelob's tunnel...but I won't get into that...

[Finwe]

I was laughing convulsively when Denethor was going all crazy over Faramir's body. I know that it was supposed to be a moving scene, but Denethor was so damn FUNNY! I actually pitied the book-Denethor, but I laughed at the movie-Denethor during just about ALL of his scenes.

[Arothir]

When I saw Frodo's face when Sam takes the spider wrapping off him, images of Michael Jackson popped into my head. I keep cracking up at the thought of it.

[ElenCala Isil]

Pippin's helm...and when he charged...I just envisioned him bowing his head and ramming the nearest orc with that thing...it seemed pointy enough to stab someone with..<P>And Gimli sitting in the throne of the steward was just funny. I think a lot of the theatre laughed at that.<P>Another was, unintentionally, and I think it was my own doing that made it funny..but.. when Sam tells Frodo to get down, because the eye is on him, and Frodo does his stagger about until he falls over bit...it just seemed so obvious, and amusing, that I called out 'Fall over, Frodo. C'mon, fall over.' and at that moment, he falls over...lots of laughter from the people around me. *pokes McLainy and Leo* <P>Erm yeah... I agree about Frodo..thoughts of Michael Jackson did pop up, upstairs.. and the whole 'It's sticky!' thing...heh..<P>As for Legover...'A diversion!' was more of a groaning type scene for me, rather than humourous..it's so old..Lego was made into a Captain Obvious through all three films, and in the third, he really shone through, although, I did manage a half-laugh, half-groan from his line 'The horses are uneasy' I think that was it..I may be a bit off.. but..erm, yeah.

[Pyroclastic]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the MJ thing.<BR> My obscure laugh came from the scene where they're at Aragorn's Coronation, and the four hobbits are being knelt to, did anybody else notice the expressions on their faces?<P>Frodo, looking tragic as usual.<BR>Sam, looking bashfull.<BR>Merry, thinking "oh, we did someting heroic?"<BR>And Pipin, seeming to say, "yep, we're finally getting the recoginition we've earned!"<P>Pippen's expression, along side the other three cracked me up! It was the crowning example of Pippin's nature. I burst out laughing when I saw that, and received a lot of rude stares from neighbor seats.<I>I</I> thought it was pretty funny.<p>[ 2:20 AM December 22, 2003: Message edited by: Pyroclastic ]

Or just a random name? Have I missed something here?<P>EDIT: Oh yes, I know...when everyone was holding their breath when Shelob appeared again, I was going 'Come on Shelob, come on, just get him!!!' My friend was giving me weird looks...and then Shelob stang him and I laughed. (Blood lust of a sort...poison lust? Fresh meat lust? Ok, no... )<P>And Frodo's helmet was rather comical...was it in the books? I made an especial effort not to read it before I saw the film so I wouldn't be sitting there going 'that was in the book!', 'that wasn't!' though I ended up doing that anyway- but only in jest.

[Arothir]

When I saw Theoden whacking the swords of the soldiers before the Pelennor battle, I cracked up. He looked like a hyped up fan at a football game.

[Tar-Alcarin]

Captain Obvious is Legolas. When Aragorn is discussing the battle on Morannon and how they will draw out saurons armies. Legolas pipes up with :A diversion. Hence the name captain obvious.

[Rose Cotton]

For some reason everyone in my theater thought that it was funny when Sam is growling at those orcs and then they relize that he's only a hobbit. I don't know why they did. I thought he was pritty heroic in that scene. <P>I also thought that it was funny when at the end of the Pellanor Fields the dead army takes down that oliphant in the background. It was funny because everyone was going "WHOA!"

[Eowyn_Wildfire]

I thought the part when Denethor run thorugh the halls on fire was hillarous at the end I was muttering "he's gonna jump" I loved that part when he just run straight off!

the first time i saw ROTK i was paralytic with laugher at BILBO.<P>i just couldn't get out of my head the following dialogue:<P>Bilbo: "where are we going, Frodo my lad?"<BR>Frodo: "to the crazy house, uncle."<BR>Bilbo: "oh!"<P>it just seemed to fit so perfectly. and then his line "i think i'm quite ready for another adventure" saw me stuffing my fist in my mouth to stop myself laughing. my mum thought i was having an asthma attack and it didn't help that my friend was also dead with laughter and after said line she said "oh well that paves the way for a sequel!"

[Greenleaf1388]

i thought it was kind of amusing when denethor set himself on fire and ran out of the tomb and you see this huge fireball running and jumping off the cliff!

[MallornLeaf]

Gandalf: So don't say anything about Boromir's death, Pippin. don't mention Frodo or the Ring. and best not mention aragorn. In fact, it would be better if you didn't say anything at all, Pippin.<P>Need I say more?!

[Nehani]

I thought it sooo funny when Faramir came back to Minas Tirith being dragged by a horse, only being held on by the stirrups. I couldn't help laughing. And when Denethor fell off the cliff, I couldn't help but wondering what Meela would be thinking. When Shelob was creeping up behind Frodo, I was laughing and giggling until she stung him. <P>Nehani<P>PS<BR>Welcome to the Downs, Greenleaf1388!

[Meela]

I think I was torn between crying, laughing, and horror at how easily he could just forget about me and leave me.

[Tintalle]

Funny Moments:<P>1. Deagol and the fishy<BR>2. Gandalf sleeping with his eyes open and Pippin stealing the palantir<BR>3. When Gandalf and Pippin were at the door, and Gandalf tells Pippin not to talk at all ... then later he moves Pippin with his staff when Pippin pledges his services<BR>4. Gollum saying that orcs doesn't taste good and it's for ME, eerrr, US<BR>5. "Aragorn .... let's find some food"<BR>6. "I know you ran out. You smoke too much Pip."<BR>7. "You starled me ... what were you up to anyway" "SNEAKING!"<BR>8. "That still counts as one!"<BR>9. The invisible piggy back ride of Gollum<BR>10. When the four hobbits come back to the shire and they nod/greet the old hobbit sweeping his frontyard.

[Goldberry]

For some reason, I was in an extremely giddy mood when I saw the movie, so I was laughing at strange, random parts.<P><UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>At Aragorn's coronation, I found it funny when Arwen suddenly pops out from behind the tapestry that Elrond is holding....<B>Arwen</B>: Peek-a-boo!<P><LI>I laughed when the hobbits were jumping onto Frodo's bed and Gimli walks in. Fortunately for them, he didn't join them. <P><LI>Then, when Gandalf walked into Frodo's bedroom, for some reason I found it funny when Frodo said "Gandalf!" in an awestruck voice. I don't really know why, but that had me laughing for the whole night. <P><LI>At the Grey Havens, I was quite amused by Galadriel's weird smile as she boarded the ship. I was even more amused when Frodo reflected the same strange smile!<BR></UL>

[Meela]

Galadriel's smile... she looked like a schoolgirl planning the mayhem she will cause on her school outing.

[Kalimac]

Thulorongil (sp?) - For what it's worth, that scene was played out almost exactly as in the book. Deagol hooks a huge fish which drags him out and underwater, and while being pulled along he spots the Ring. Of course, it's strangely amusing in the book as well.<P>Bill the Pony - Oh God! Thanks for ensuring that I'll never be able to watch that scene again without thinking about Drew the Coworker...urgh...<P>For me one of the funnier bits was also a very good one: when Merry is berating Pippin after the Palantir incident. "Why did you look? Why do you always have to look?"<P>Then Pippin: "I won't do it again."<P>The sheer inadequacy of the answer made me laugh pretty hard. What, like he hasn't done enough already? (Granted, to quote Calvin and Hobbes, I get the feeling there was no right answer to that question).<p>[ 5:11 PM December 23, 2003: Message edited by: Kalimac ]

[Quirkette]

I must have been the only one who felt sorry for the oliphants. Whenever one was brought down, I wanted to cringe, cuz I kept thinking of them as poor endangered elephants who didn't know why the heck they were being shot at! Then at one point the thought popped into my head: "Oh yeah, feel good about hurting an ELEPHANT!" and I almost laughed real loud. Then Legolas shot one in the head, just for effect, and I thought I was going to burst from holding in a laugh.

[Quirkette]

LOL Bill the Pony--<P>Gollum, you just took back the One Ring! What are you going to do now?<P>"We're going to Disneyland, my precious."

[aleesa]

I find the part about gandalf sleeping with his eyes open was pretty amusing and also about gandalf advising pippin not to talk. Then there was Gimli saying "that only counts as one". I guess RoTK certainly has a lot of its funny moments coz I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

[Lëowen]

Heh...when Denethor jumped off the cliff, I couldn't help but think about the Monty Python's Flying Circus episode that opened with a guy attempting to fly, and jumping off a cliff, only to go 'splat' on the beach below...<BR>Surely someone here knows what I'm talking about? Maybe?<BR>

[FairLadyGoldberry]

I loved the part when Gandalf and Pippin were about to walk in to see Denethor and Gandalf said something like:<P>You'd better not say anything about his son Boromir dying....<BR>or Frodo and the ring...<BR>or Aragorn coming to the thrown...<BR>in fact, it would be better if you didn't say anything.<P>(or something along those lines) anyway, that really made me laugh!

[Rasputin]

i found it hilarious when gandalf was beating up denethor XD<P><BR>i also found it funny when the orc threw the other orc down the stairs and say "he tried to knife me!" then the orc got drop kicked out of the tower!

[Failivrin]

I know what you're talking about Leowen! it reminded me of that man in The Meaning of Life who was chased off a cliff at the end <P>the 3rd time i saw it i noticed how much Eomer screamed and it made me laugh; about 3 times all in 10 minutes

I'm not sure how funny this is in reality... it's more like really strange. I was a bit thrown off by the orcs' sudden mastery of complex speech in ROTK. It was really bizarre to sit in the theater and watch an orc giving a "pep talk" about how now comes the "time of the orc..."! It was the one, rather nitpicky thing that bugged me, and it was kind of amusing as well, wether intentionally or not.

[BoromirsBeard]

I couldn't help but laugh at the Orc that looked like Yoda. <P>Gandalf sleeping with his eyes open - I thought elves did that?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> i found it hilarious when gandalf was beating up denethor <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Yeah, I did too, but only after I added theme music in my head!

[Failivrin]

oh i love it how people ALWAYS revert to their natural accent when they're shouting. if they don't, then they get some other insane one instead which leads perfectly onto...<P>Aragorn's Irish accent before the Black Gate! where did he get that from?

Funniest parts:<P>-When Pippin kneels to offer his services to Denethor and Gandalf says "get up" and hits him.<BR>-When Gandalf attacks Denethor.<BR>-When everyone is bowing to the hobbits they were all the same height! Also I was convinced either Merry or Pippin (probably Pippin) was going to say something stupid.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> For some reason people laughed when they saw Sam and Frodo in Orcs' clothes? Anyone know why this is funny, I completely missed that joke?!

I guess he just wanted some tangible Evenstar nooky.

[Catlyn21]

Okay, for anyone whose seen Pirates of the Caribbean: When Frodo and Sam are stumbling up Mount Doom, they're walking exactly like Captain Jack Sparrow...I saw that movie 11 times in theaters (oh what a waste of money...), and it instantly reminded me of that...The people around me didn't think it was too funny, though...<P>And I couldn't help laughing when you see Frodo all wrapped up in Shelob's web: <P>Elijah Wood, starring in The Mummy!<P>okay, maybe its just me...I thought it was funny...

[The Elusive Spirit]

I liked the part in Isengard when Treebeard says to Gandalf "...young master Gandalf." *chuckle*<BR>Also, when the orks are going thru Frodo's sutff the one ork says "The shiny shirt is mine." My friend thinks he said "The shiny <BR>sh!*&t is mine." I died.

[Beanamir of Gondor]

my extreme favorite part [in which I just absolutely died] was when Aragorn is standing on the Pelennor Fields and behind him you can see the army of the dead [or at least part of it] just ROLLING up the backside of an oliphaunt. Like, a great big wave of the dead, just in the background. I cracked up, and the lady next to me in the theater sighed and made a face.<P>Also, when Sam and Frodo are sitting on Mt Doom after they've destroyed the ring, and Frodo is like 'I can remember the Shire, Sam!" and then there's this huge explosion in the background. Crack-up scene also.<P>*Die* the part where Sam pulls the web stuff off of Frodo's face- he doesn't look like Michael Jackson, he looks like Edward Scissorhands! Gasp! "I love you Kim!"<P>And finally, when the army of Gondor and Rohan goes to the Black Gate under Aragorn, and starts charging- Merry and Pippin start running, and they get totally left behind, you see them getting way passed up by all the horses and people. The people I was sitting next to were glaring so bad, I started snorting.<P>It wasn't in the movie, but the lady sitting next to me in the theatre was really afraid of Shelob. *Squeak!* "Oh dear Jesus, look at that thing!" *Gasp* "I hate spid- AAAHHH!" Screaming into her husband's shoulder. Laugh, laugh.<P>Hooray for Gimli the comic relief dwarf!

[DarkRose]

I found most of the already-mentioned lines funny, along with more random things.<P>The various grunts and noises that the characters made had me stifling giggles. Such as the pig-like noises Gandalf makes while sleeping with his eyes open. And of course, Gimli's snorts and guttural sounds had me cracking up. <P>Also, at the end, when everyone is running in to greet Frodo in his bed, I couldn't help but laugh at Pippin. Did anyone notice how he sort of...flung himself wildly about on the bed? Like a trout out of water? <P>The audience found the scene where Denethor is trying to burn himself and Faramir terribly funny. I'm not sure it was PJ's intent, though. But when Denethor had his arms raised, awaiting for flames to engulf him, waves of laughter rang through the audience. Sorta killed the mood. So to speak.

[Gorwingel]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>When I saw Frodo's face when Sam takes the spider wrapping off him, images of Michael Jackson popped into my head. I keep cracking up at the thought of it.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I didn't really think that Frodo looked like Michael Jackson, but that scene was freaky none the less! His look scared me more than Shelob! When I was watching it, it was basically: "Oh Sam *watches*", "Frodo! Ahhh!!! *closes eyes*", and on, and on... I couldn't believe how freaky they made him look. It is so bad I can't really get myself to watch that scene. Someday I most definitely will have to ask Sean Astin about how it was filming it.<P>Oh and I thought that the whole Gandalf eyes open while sleeping thing was brilliant. It was so funny

[Finwe]

An absolutely hilarious scene was when Merry and Pippin get out-run before the Black Gates after they charge after Aragorn. I was laughing convulsively at that part.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Also, when Sam and Frodo are sitting on Mt Doom after they've destroyed the ring, and Frodo is like 'I can remember the Shire, Sam!" and then there's this huge explosion in the background. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes, and at that time he says he remembers Gandalf's fireworks...

[The Only Real Estel]

For some reason everyone thought the shot of that giant troll beating the drums for the forces of Mordor outside of Minas Tirith was insanly funny .

[dragoneyes]

I noticed this one elf at the coronation (I like looking at the people in the backgroud), I think he's over Elrond's shoulder, possibly Arwen's but he grins ridiculously and I just found it really funny.<P>Another thing is when Galadriel helps Frodo up, my friend said Galadriel's face scared her and when it kept coming closer to the screen the thought of her cringing away from it just made me laugh.

[Finwe]

Even though it was a really touching moment, I couldn't help cracking up when Elrond started sniffling. Hugo Weaving looked like he was about to start laughing hysterically, not crying at his daughter's wedding!

[TolkienGurl]

Merry: "My lords! Welcome," *sways drunkenly* "to Isengard!"<P>Gimli: "Certain death, small chance of success -- what are we waiting for?"<P>Denethor: *jumps off cliff*<P>Gollum and Sam's "sneaking" bit.<P>Gnomeish-Bilbo was equally adorable and frightening. I especially liked his and Frodo's exchange in the cart on the way to the Havens.<P>I agree with all of <B>Tintalle</B>'s choices, especially Gollum's argument with himself ("And they's don't taste very nice, does they, precious?") and the grumpy old hobbit back in the Shire. I also thought it was <I>adorable</I> when the four hobbits were laughing at Sam when he went to propose to Rosie. <P>~Sam

[Samwise]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>For some reason everyone in my theater thought that it was funny when Sam is growling at those orcs and then they relize that he's only a hobbit. I don't know why they did. I thought he was pritty heroic in that scene. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Absolutely, Miss Rose. I did find myself chuckling, though, when Sam is running up the stairs whacking orcs left and right (does Sauron hire wimps or what?) while yelling,<P>"One for Mr. Frodo--"<BR>"One for the Shire--"<BR><B>SMACK!</B><BR>"--and one for me old Gaffer!!!"

[Everlen]

I didn't read this whole thing, just the most recent page, so if this has already been said then I am sorry. What is hilarious to me is the line which is delivered by our stater-of-the-obvious, Legolas, when he says, "A diversion." Nah, really?

[The Great Shadowfax]

OMG! Too true about how all of Legolas' lines are WAY obvious. I also liked how the army of the dead was swarming over an oliphant in the background like green mold! Then when Frodo wakes up and everyone rushes in and then Frodo sees Sam and gives him this look like, "I LOVE YOU SAM!" and i dont know but i thought that was funny. amazing how Denethor's guards dont even notice that beating of their stuard...but my all time favorite funniest moment:<BR>Merry's rediculous grin with the helmet on and Eomer's crack about the reach of his arm!

[Gorwingel]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"--and one for my old Gaffer!!!"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I thought that this line was brilliant, but I don't think that any of the non-book people got it. Because I don't recall anyone in the theatrical editions talking about the Gaffer (he was in the extended though, if I recall correctly).<P>But it is hilarious for the book people none the less (but it is kind of weird when I am laughing at this line, and there is no one else around me who is because they are not getting it)

[Elentári_O_Most_Mighty_1]

Hilarious...<P>Ja man, all those Oliphaunts had me cracking up- except in the bits where Éowyn and co were trying to escape... <P>And Frodo and Sam as orcs...well, they just LOOKED funny...and Frodo's nose guard (even though it WAS like that in the book) was just the cream of the joke, so to speak...(or icing on the cake, etc).

[GaRy the WHiTe]

Ya i laughd quite a bit when legolas took down the elephant single handed and gimlii said grph that still only counts as one i busted out laughing and i kinda pittyd legolas when he said "a diversion" cuz he looked so stupid

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Elijah Wood, starring in The Mummy! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>lol! I was thinking the same thing!<P>Loved the Denethor beating (sorry Denny fans!)and the "Great chance of failure and small possibility of survival... What are we waiting for?" from Gimli! Lol, that was great. And how can I forget Captain Obvious? A bit slow aren't we? The Spotlight eye was completely hilarious to me (though no one else seemed to think so). Sam and Frodo in the orc getups were really funny but I couldn't help but think how cute it was at the same time (dodges glaring looks). Also when Merry gives Pippin the last of the Longbottom Leaf and tells him he smokes to much - the people in the theater all started to laugh. <BR>Those were some of the main highlights, there's tons more but I hate to keep repeating what others have said.

[Teleri]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I think of it more as an insiders' joke... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Goodie, we're all insiders now!<P>I liked that line too, but I must have been the only person in the audience who got it, because my friend and I were the only ones laughing, and I found out later that she thought Sam said "And this is for my own comfort." <BR>Geeze I must have looked wierd to fellow movie viewers though, because all through the fall of the eye of Souron I was grinning like a maniac, and giggling uncontrollably. Actually, I think the only part of the movie where I wasn't smiling was the Grey Havens, but then I heard Frodo's voice over "you cannot always be torn in two" and started smiling again (It's such a good line, and it's right out of the book).

[trippo the hippo]

Ok well my audience we very annoying. Basically everytime Smeagol/Gollum appeared the cracked up laughing. Even when Smeagol is chocking Deagol to death they were laughing their heads off. This really bugged me cause I thought Gollum was really amazing in the movies.

[Maeglanthirion]

I loved it at the battle before the black gate, Aragorn charged, then Merry and Pipping and there was this brief shot of Merry and Pippin charging and the rest were just standing there. I laughed. Then everyone started and the hobbits were overtaken . Gimli cracks me up. "Small chance of victory, almost certain death... what are we waiting for?" or something like that. And of course, Legolas slides all smooth off the mumakil thing and "That only counts as one!" <BR> I thought it was funny when Frodo wakes up at the end in bed, he says Gandalf in a strange way and his mouth doesn't quite move with the words. <BR> Oh yeah, a Gimli before the Paths of the Dead. "An elf will go where a dwarf will not? Oh I will never hear the end of it." <BR> And Pippin and Merry, two great characters. At Isengard, "We are sitting on the field of victory enjoying some well earned spoils" or something close to that. And then mentioning salted pork and suddenly Gimli is very intersted. Oh and when Pippin gets on Shadowfax with Gandalf and Merry gives him pipeweed and Merry looks at him a goes "You smoke to much Pippin."<BR> And yeah, Gollum floating in midair attacking no one was funny.

[Quirkette]

Saw it again, and there was a lot of smart arse laughing from some middle aged guys. They thought the troll with the drum was funny, and they howled at Aragorn holding aloft the sword. I thought it a great big phallic symbol thing, myself. "Look, Elrond, this sword is soooo big!" <P>What really irritated me was Sam saying "share the load" in the most condescending way imaginable! The echo of the phrase again and again, and the close-up of his mouth saying it, that was so annoying.

[Tinker]

Compensation? ::: watches camera panning up to show sword length::: "Oh yeah, defenitly, compensating."<P>One thing that I thought was funny, even if it bugged me a bit later on (thanks to all those post's on Pipin's personal growth in the movie). Pippin's responses when Merry's yelling at him after the Palantir incident.<P>M: Why did you look? Why do you always have to look?<P>P: I dunno. I can't help it.<P>Are we talking about looking into a Tool of Great EVIIIIIIIILLLLL, or breaking Grandpa's favorite trophey?<P>I held off on laughing until a few seconds later:<P>P: (in really serious tone's, with that look that reminds of a scolded puppy)I'm sorry okay.::: pause:: I won't do it again.<P>I laughed. That last sentence sounded like it was too short. The Full Lines would have been: "I won't do it again, now say 'I forgive you Pip,' so we can go have second breakfast before it's lunch time." <P>Hmmm..look's like a long list of funny things already...guess that leaves only one option...to go out and see the whole thing again

[pukel-person]

well, i was extremely hyper the last time i went to see the movie (my third time) and found many things extremely funny. for example: when frodo, sam, and gollum are at minas morgul, they really should have done a ring-n-run (also sometimes known as ding dong ditch), and aragorn and co. could have done the same thing at the black gates, it would have made for less violence and just insane laughter from me (i was imagining it and cracking up) other funny things, i essentially came up w/a new soundtrack, including 'it's raining men' (for when they're catapaulting the guys heads) itsy-bitsy spider (shelob's lair) burn baby burn-disco inferno (denethor) <BR>also i found many movie connections-the orcs slowly coming up when faramir and co. were coming back to osgiliath reminded me of wizard of oz(munchkin city), as did minas morgul (emerald city) and the houses of healing scene w/frodo and co. when sam was trying to save frodo in the cracks of doom, that reminded me of lion king, and when sam and frodo were trying to leave the cracks of doom, that reminded me of aladdin. i found denethor jumping off the clif to be funny, but i have a strange sense of humor like that, and i clapped when it happened and i got elbowed by my friend...i thought the guys who were driving the oliphaunts were funny/cool...i found gollum's dance when he got the ring funny...i found galadriel's smile hilarious because it is almost the same smile that gollum/smeagol uses, and i was just waiting for her to say "my preciousssss"....i found grond to be funny....i don't remember why....i just remember laughing at it....and the coronation of aragorn i found funny because i could just picture him going to the very end of the clif thing there and yelling "i'm king of the world"...there were a bunch of other things i found amusing, but i've forgotten most of them haha so that's all for now

[Berny]

I laughed when the Mt. Doom exploded and smote them Nazgul.

[pukel-person]

smote....what a great word berny....i also laughed at merry's smile when he was riding w/eowyn...and i laughed because i was chanting grond along w/the orcses...cheering for the wrong team, maybe, but still fun haha

[Berny]

I'm sure the people next to you were very irritated with you. I would have get you drunk on Green Dragon ale, kill you with a blunt object, and dump your body in the Entwash. But that's just me. I thought the part where the undead army took down an oliphant was pretty good too. Was that mentioned yet? I dunno. Oh and Bilbo looked like midget Colonel Sanders when he walked by Elrond. <p>[ 10:33 PM January 04, 2004: Message edited by: Berny ]

[pukel-person]

berny, i don't appreciate the violence. all we are saying is give peace a chance. make love not war. anyway, some people find my commentary amusing during the movie. namely myself. haha. i have been told that sometimes i must forget that i'm at a movie. especially during the theme song of the theater, which is very fun to sing along to. <P>w/the Colonel Sanders thing, i agree and find that funny, i would have never made that connection. haha <P>peace!

[Berny]

I realize you made your comment in jest, but if you really were against war, then WHY would you see and Lord of the Rings movie? I mean, the orcses threw human heads over the walls of Minas Tirith. Of course you probably laughed at that too.

[pukel-person]

actually berny, i didn't laugh at that because i was singing it's raining men

[NoCoolTolkienName]

Nobody's mentioned the part where the Gollum/Smeagol border begins to crack at the entrance to Shelob's lair? The part where Frodo has some initial second thoughts about entering, which puts Gollum out of sorts momentarily. Come on! That's one of the funniest, subtle scenes in the movie! Ahhh well...to each their own.

[Linaeve]

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I thought it was hilarious when Gimli says, "Certainty of death, small chance of success, what are we waiting for?" it seems to sum up the Fellowship's attitude about adventure in a tounge-in-cheek sort of way. I think I just have a weird sense of humor . . .<P><B>Off topic:</B><BR>pukel-person: <I>It's Raining Men</I> is an awesome song!!

Yah. that was funnny. AND he's sitting on the throne thing. But the whole audience laughed when Gandalf totally K.O.'d Denethor...and when Sam and Frodo were in orc armour.Frodo looked like a bird.

[Shy Hobbit]

Forgive me if this offends anyone, but did anyone else laugh during the Isengard scene? It sounds like Pippin says "Merry and I are sh***ing on the field of victory..."<P>Saw it for the second time yesterday and had a hard time controlling myself there <P>Merry. I love Merry. But somehow he was just WRONG in this movie. (Don't get me wrong, he's wrong in a good way, hehe) In so many ways. He looks so perverted half the time "My lady!" Me and my group laugh at that one. And for some reason I kept wanting to laugh at Shelob when she was fighting with Sam. She's just so unthreatening and.. fuzzy

[The Great Shadowfax]

hahaha, "sh***ing on the field of victory", you know now that i think of that it really sounds like he says that!!!<BR>this might sound a little wierd to some people but when it showed elrond riding up the steep, twisting road to the rohan camp i couldn't help but picturing his horse slipping and them both tumbling the whole way down- back...and forth...and back...and forth all the while hearing "ooh...eeh..ahh...ugh...ooh...eeh...ahh...ugh..." just like one of those cartoons...<BR>well, theres an example of my wierd and twisted mind for ya...

As long as I have my sword in my hand, I'm not an arachnophobe, but I figured that the theater people wouldn't really have liked me bringing in a long pointy metal object that can hurt people, especially since I can get rather overexcited during the battle scenes.

[Rindoien, elf of Lothlorien]

Did anyone else find the bit where Frodo is in the web and Shelob is behind him, and Gollum comes up and says something like<P>"Hobbit trapped in a web etc. etc."<P>Then Frodo starts slashing at it and Gollum's like<P>"Ack!" and runs away.

[Oddwen]

There's a spot where Frodo looks at Sam with narrowed eyes, and lor' bless me sir if it doesn't remind me of a line in one of my stories where "Frodo narrows his eyes to where they are the size of normal eyes."<BR>Very creepy, if you ask me.

[Quirkette]

That was nuts, nuts, nuts, when the stand-in for Bilbo gets on the ship. I mean, he didn't look like Ian Holm, he looked like a really small and slender person. I was thinking, "Hey, this is supposed to be moving and sweet, but now I'm totally distracted--thanks a lot, movie!"<P>When Gollum says he wouldn't hurt a fly, and then touches his head and sees blood on his hand, he shrieks. I thought it was because he had discovered a dead fly in his hand and was upset about that! But no, it's because he's shocked Sam has drawn blood. Poor Gollum...

[Frodo2968thewhite]

I love the scene when Merry & Pippin are dancing on the tables, drunk as sailors! couldn't help but laugh! Also all of the "non-book readers" and the things that they didn't get, I was so annoyed (and embarassed!)! <BR> also when Legolas said, "A diversion", I thought of the look on Orlando's face in Pirates of the Carribean after his "Aye, Avast!" line. Like, "what?, What?, something I said?".

[Shy Hobbit]

Did you notice when Merry & Pippin are dancing on the table at Edoras ( I adored that scene, by the way), that one of them knocks a drink into Gamling's lap, and oh my goodness his reaction is simply priceless! Talk about showing your temper, heehee!

[yare nande]

arg i blame this thread for making me laugh at the most innapropriate parts in ROTK. i laugh now at sam and frodo's orc costumes (sam's really does look like an oliphaunt); nearly ALL of gollum's dialogue; i will never be able to watch the coronation again with a straight face...and tons more... i suppose it's my own fault, since the title gives the content away and i find myself still quite addicted to it but has this thread done this to anyone else?

[Samwise]

Not me. Funny, I didn't think a lot of the things on here were funny that other folks do.<P>Only saw the movie once, and my mind was on Sam and Frodo and that nasssty Gollum.
