The way I see it, Gandalf's reaction to Pippin's act of allegiance was just a way to get some laughs out of the audience - at least, everyone in the theatre I was at laughed...except for me.<P> I didn't appreciate it. As I recall from the books (sorry, haven't read them for a year now), Gandalf was at least slightly impressed with Pippin's decision. Oh well.
