Okay, I got this idea from moving moments. What were some of the funniest things in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings?
I'll start with one, a direct quote from the Hobbit:
He (Bilbo) was feeling very queer indeed in his head by this time after the dreadful adventures of the last three days with next to nothing to eat, and he found himself saying aloud: &quot; Now I know what a piece of bacon feels like when it is suddenly picked out of the pan on a fork and put back on the shelf!&quot;
&quot;No you don't!&quot; he heard Dori answering,&quot;because the bacon knows that it will get back in the pan sooner or later; and it is to be hoped we shan't. Also eagles aren't forks!&quot;
&quot; O no! Not a bit like storks--forks, I mean,&quot; said Bilbo sitting up and looking anxiously at the eagle who was perched close by. He wondered what other nonsense he had been saying, and if the eagle would think it rude. You ought not be rude to an eagle, when you are only the size of a hobbit, and are up in his eyrie at night!

" In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit . . . " That's where it all began.</p>

Re: When did you laugh?

I laughed when the fellowshipwas at the gates of Moria. After Gandalf tell them he dosen't know the password. quote: &quot;What are you going to do then?&quot; asked Pippin &quot;Knock on the door with your head, Peregrin Took,&quot; said Gandalf &quot;but if dose not shatter them, and i am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will seek for the opening words.&quot;

I also think the other reprimands Gandalf gives Pipin are funny too. I do, however, feel rather sorry for Pipin. Him being the youngest of the fellowship, trying to prove himself. Being so reprimanded by the leader in front of all must have been hard on him.

Re: When did you laugh?

ah, I like those too..

I had to laugh when the orcs know that the Rohirrim are after them and one of the northerners says
&quot;but what are we going to do at sunrise?&quot;
And Ugluk replies:
&quot;Go on running. What do you think? Sit on the grass and wait for the Whiteskins to join the picnic?&quot;
I always got to laugh about that.

But there are so many amusing parts in those books....

And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom</p>

Ah as eowyn you have reminded me of when Pippen tells Gandalf that he wishes to know everything but the answers to his questions would suffice for then!

Re: When did you laugh?

Sneaking!

I love Gollum's tirade after Sam accuses him of sneaking.

I was just reading another part that made me laugh out loud...

Saruman refers to the hobbits as rag-tag before he is shut in Orthanc and a little while later Merry says...

'Are we riding far tonight, Gandalf?' asked Merry after a while. 'I don't know how you feel with small rag-tag dangling behind you; but the rag-tag is tired and will be glad to stop dangling and lie down.'

Re: When did you laugh

We had a thread like this months ago, but it is buried a few pages down. So I want to revive one of the lines there that someone else mentioned but made me laugh very hard.

Sam saying farewell to the beer barrel .... Now that's funny <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

Re: When did you laugh

Pippin singing Bilbo's Bath Song and imitating a fountain that &quot; leaped on high&quot; and Frodo finishing in the kitchen!!!
Oh my another, I just got to this part in the book and I laughed out loud! (Getting very strange looks from my father as he watched Entertainment tonight.) The minstrel singing the lay of nine-fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom when Sam cries out &quot; O great glory and splendor! And all my wishes have come true!&quot;

Oh, Bergil and Pippin! I measured my nephew today and he's one and a half inch taller than Pippin's four feet. I've dubbed him Pippen now. Ah, I have another! Sam the consipirator! <img src=biggrin.gif ALT=""> now that's funny!

Re: When did you laugh

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> For LOBELIA SACKVILLE-BAGGINS, as a PRESENT; on a case of silver spoons. Bilbo believed that she had accquired a good many of his spoons, while he was away on his former journey. Lobelia knew that quite well. When she arrived later in the day, she took the point at once, but she also took the spoons<hr></blockquote>

I always laugh when I read that.

Yes, red, Legolas was one of the few who ever managed to score a snappy comeback against Gandalf.

Gandalf's letter to the hobbits in Bree:

A remark in Bilbo's farewell speech has always made me laugh:

Re: When did you laugh?

When Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas finally meet Merry and Pippin and Gandalf is predicting their invariable doom, then one of the hobbits says, &quot;Gandalf has been saying cheerful things like that all day.&quot; It wasn't very funny really, but it made me laugh.

Yeah, I love that whole scene. Also, someone mentioned the rag-tag, but they stopped before my favorite part of it, when Gandalf tells Merry he should feel honored to be in Saruman's thoughts, and Merry says, &quot;I would rather dangle at your feet. For one thing, that gives one a chance to put a question a second time. Are we going far tonight?&quot;

I love the conversations between Sam and Gollum, particularly the &quot;sneak&quot; one. I always laugh when Frodo, deadly serious, tells Gollum not to take names upon himself, and Gollum sulks, and says he has to take what's given to him.

I love to laugh...

Something like that...<img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

Re: When did you laugh?

When Pippin and Merry complain about Gandalf's greeting - I mean, when they're talking to Legolas and the others. I can't remember exactly what he said, but I know it was very funny <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

Re: When did you laugh?

When Frodo is tired of the giving of Bilbo's farewell-presents and all the hobbits (uninvited) searching for Bilbo's 'gold', Otho and Lobelia come and Merry politely answers them: 'Frodo is indisposed' To which Lobelia says: 'Hiding you mean'
And shortly after when the S-Bīs finally left again came knocking on the door, and Frodo feels it can wait. Then comes Gandalf's head before the window, saying: 'If you don't let me in Frodo, I shall blow your door right down your hole and out through the hill.'
Thatīs funny <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

No, Hannah 3 was my RPing name at Hogwarts. I'm not Hannah Burrows... I would change my name, but I don't want to have to start with the subtitles again

Ah, ok. Glad to put my mind at rest.

Re: When did you laugh?

My little sister is reading though the books and she reminded me of something last night:

&quot;When you are older, you will learn that folk are not always what they seem; and though you may have taken me for a soft stranger-lad and easy prey, let me warn you: I am not, I am a halfling, hard, bold, and wicked!&quot; Pippin pulled such a grim face that the boy stepped back a pace.

This is, of course, Pippin speaking to Bergil.
I laughed mightily trying to think of Pippin as &quot;hard, bold and wicked!&quot;
