Tolkien Humor: What makes us different?

[Pyroclastic]

I love having a more abstract sence of humor!

Aragorn: "You still speak in riddles."
Gandalf: "No! For I was talking to myself. A habbit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to."

We pick the funniest people present to laugh with. My personal favorite, which gets me every time:

Saruman: "I am Saruman of many colours!"
Gandalf: "I liked white better."

In the moment of such intensity, Gandalf makes a joke! It's just so unexpected.
