wouldnt it be rally funny if there was a clip of theoden standing at the dais in edoras, at an angle, with water flowing past and then he could roll his eyes, and shout "Oi, Wrong Film!!"

I think he's pretty cheesy sometimes, probably having to do with the fact that he's stage-trained.
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli riding down the Dimholt road. I mean, like, Orli with his "They were cursed" always makes me tag on "and the only way to end their curse is to put all the gold pieces back into the stone chest..." Faramir. Need I say more?

The whole spotlight of Mordor thing gets me everytime! (Methinks Jackson might have started to regret that interpretation of "the Eye of Sauron" into Return of the King, but by then... it was too late!)

Yes, I agree the spotlight atop Barad Dur was very funny. But I also laughed at the PJ's new scene of Frodo waving to a nazgul at Osgiliath. What was that supposed to mean? I can recommend a little story I found on fanfiction.net exploring the outcome.

Mine are a lot like everyone else's: Captain Obvious... every line in the trilogy is so melodramatic, it makes me want to cry.
Pippen rolling around with the Palantir just makes me grin, and I think it's really terrible when Treebeard says, very calmly and satisfied, "The filth of Saruman is washing away," as Saruman is being lowered head first into the water. That's just wrong. And, of course, Sauron at the fall of Barad Dur. He just looks like he's so shocked, with the spotlight and everything. It's so expressive; I can just hear his last, plaintive words: "Wait... w-what? What? What's happening? I can't see! ... ... guys? What's going on?!?" ...I didn't think many of the funny parts were funny, actually. Oh, yeah, as a side note; Bernard Hill was in, among other things, a truly terrible rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I rented and watched for an English class because I had to watch it again, and couldn't find any other version. Lots of random nakedness. *shudder* But it was worth it; Mr. Hill was playing Hermia's father. He wore a green three piece suit and a bowler hat, with much the same beard as Theoden had, but trimmed a little. He even had a horse! It was so funny, he looked exactly like Theoden!

The bit where Smeagol freaks out at Faramir when Faramir's asking him what he's talking to himself about--"myyyy PRECIOUS!!!! AAAARRRGG!!!" That cracked me up the first time I watched the movie, and still does every time I see it. In fact, Smeagol is pretty funny--what about the time after he first started leading the hobbits out of emyn muir and when sam walks by smeagol kinda flinch/cowers back and says, "nice hobbit"?

I love that part, but I think it was supposed to be funny.
Almost any shot of Faramir in TTT makes my mouth quirk. He's just so.... dorky! "If you aa not spies, then who aa you?" lol! Frodo, yelling to dear little Smeagol as Faramir's guys haul him away: "Smeagol- listen to master! Smeagol, don't struggle! SMM-EEEEE-GOL!"

And--one of my favorites--Eomer, as he's saddling his horse and he's talking about why the horses are getting crazy, "they grow nervous in the shadow of the mountain" or whatever, and then he does this CLASSIC thing with his face, and says "That mountain is evil" oh, that look is priceless! Eomer, however, is absolutely one of my favorite characters-primarily in the book, but also on screen he came across well, I think. It's not fair what PJ did to Eomer and Faramir, tho, I think he detracted so much from their true characters. Both men had so much more strength and valour than they were allowed to portray onscreen.

When Sam & Shelob are going at it, after he stabs her and she's backing herself up into her hole, she's doing those "wounded spider" cries, and the funny thing is, the last thing shelob "says" is "Nooooooo!" right before she finally squeezes herself out of the picture. Hilarious! Does anyone else notice this? Spiders don't say "no", period.
