Seriously, there is nothing wrong with some gross-out humour, but in the right film, and in the right context. Tolkien would
not have made humour out of a Dwarf eructating in front of a noble king as that kind of thing is
orcish behaviour. If Gimli had been shown to do the same in mixed company, say in the drinking contest, then it would have been in the right place, but as it was I cringed because it made Gimli, a fantastic character, seem like a mere buffoon It spoiled his characterisation, just that one moment.
