<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> At Bilbo's birthday party, when Frodo does his chicken dance, you can see Merry in the background pointing at him and laughing. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>And you can see Pippin in the bandstand drinking beer while playing some sort of ukalele (sp?) thing.<P>I also love how when Frodo screams "GANDALF!" you see Boromir in slow-mo look around, with his hair going all over the place. Me and my friend call it his commercial for Herbal Essence. <P>In almost every scene with Pippin, he's wearing his scarf! Whether it's tied around his neck or just hanging there, he's almost always got it on. <P>Then there's Pippin abuse, which is different from what you guys are talking about (in a way). There are many instances of it. <BR>The first is when Pippin yells "Mushrooms!" and Sam and Merry push him down when he tries to get up to get the mushrooms. <BR>Next there's the scene when Aragorn hits Pippin in the head with the apple. <BR>Then on the EE, Pippin falls into the Midgewater Marshes (though that was actually of his own doing ). <BR>The next part is when Boromir cuts Pippin's hand when they're practicing sword-fighting. <BR>Then we arrive at the scene where Pippin gets the most abuse: outside the gates of Moria. Gandalf snaps at him on the EE, then Merry starts throwing rocks in the water. When Pippin goes to throw a rock, Aragorn grabs his arm and tells him not to, though it was Merry doing it the whole time! <BR>Then Pippin almost falls down the stairs in Moria, and Merry scolds him and, uh, yeah....<BR>Now is the scene that is most obvious, when Gandalf says, "Fool of a Took!" <BR>Finally is the scene when the troll stabs Frodo, and Merry and Pippin jump on its back. It grabs Merry and throws him off, then later Pippin gets flung off when Legolas shoots it in the throat. But no one goes to see if either of them are all right...<P>Some of these scenes are pure accident, like when he gets hit in the head with the apple and falls in the swamp, but really, why do they all pick on Pippin? I swear he's gonna have issues by the time ROTK is over.
