There are many good ones in The Hobbit:
When Bilbo says 'Struck by lightning, struck by lightning.' "And that was all they could get out of him for a very long time."
The "Burrahobbit" and "Yes, lots . . . no, none at all."
Gollum's final guess - "String or nothing!".
Also, Gandalf's method for getting Beorn to let 15 people stay at his house.
One of my favorites from LotR is Sam's: "Eavesdropping Sir? I don't follow you, begging your pardon. There ain't no eaves at Bag End, and that's a fact." I can't believe they changed that line in the movie.
