What makes you laugh?

Rosie Gamgee · 03-23-2005, 01:26 PM

Without intending to create another hate-PJ thread, I wondered:
Who else out there laughs at parts of the movies that are supposed to be serious (the parts obviously intended to be funny do not count)?

Mine:

Any of Legolas's Captain Obvious moments- "A diversion." ~ "The trees are speaking to each other!" ~ "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!" ~ "Something draws near. I can feel it." ~ etc.

Whenever Aragorn cries.

Whenever Aragorn stares evil in the face and makes that "EEEEeewwww! there's a bug on the wall!!!" look.

Gandalf 'exorcising' Saruman from Theoden.

When the kid falls from the horse outside Edoras. (TTT)

When that lady- I think she's 'Eothain's mom- 'screams' (?) on Eowyn's shoulder during the battle of Helm's Deep.

"My lady, we must make haste.... My LADY!"

When Gandy (EE RotK) falls from his horse and is staring at the Witch King in horror.

Gandy begging the hobbits to be silent when the Mouth of Sauron holds up the mithril shirt.

I have more, but I'll not put all of them down just now.

i laugh a lot when Pippin is looking into the palantir. i find it HILARIOUS!

I agree Legolas' obvious lines. Like when the orcs are creaming around them in Moria and it svery clear they are about to attack. "Orcs" I wanted Aragorn to whack him upside the ehad then. Also the avalanche of skulls is just ridiculous. I kept thinking. OMG that is a lot of skulls. I mean thats like 2 million people falling and theyre just calmly walking through. also at the end when the entire fellowship save Boromir of course walks into Frodos room and they all just start laughing and then Frodo and Sam stare at each other for five minutes. Now Ive always defended them as being straight but couldn't PJ have made it a little easier. I mean come on.

yep, the pol pot documentary always gets me going

and whenever arwen appears, especially if followed by her pulling out her sword

Testing ...testing ...my last post never happened! it just went whoosh and disappered - next thing i know bmilder wants me to e-mail him to tell him about it?

Butterbeer · 03-29-2005, 06:32 PM

alright i'll try again ...
nah it just won't be as good *sighs fatalistically*

ok leave all that bit ...

on the Moot, things that had made me laugh:
Gorbi's description of the balrog being hit on the head by Pippin's stone down the Well (and Sauron having a Bath whilst Sam galavant's round Mordor wearing the one ring)

also some of telcontar dunedain's postings in the 'Lyrd of the Ring's' esp old tom bombadil's song, and the bit were aragorn at the council of elrond reveals the (something like) "here! are the pants that were ripped! etc (that last bit hilarious may have been another author?? - this from memory so apols if wrong

agree ref: Legless tell it like it is 'the shrewd' greenleaf : "they're TAKING THEM TO ISENGARD!", (pauses looking meaningfully into the distance)

where the beep did he think they've been galloping off to all along? Did not the white hands on the shields not give a clue?

also what is this "red sky int' t'mornin'? Blood been spilt this night"???? MUMBO JUMBO?

ANYWAY HOPEFULLY THIS ONE WILL SEND!

Another year's gone by, and I was thinking once again, How can I take this losing hand and somehow win? Just give me One Good Year To get my feet back on the ground. I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year!
