Comical Parts
What parts in The Lord of the Rings do you find comical? This is so far my favorite:
As the Company from Helm's Deep emerges from the Forest of Huorns that consumed the Uruks:
"Legolas halted and looked back with regret. Then he gave a sudden cry.
There are eyes! he said. Eyes looking out from the shadows of the boughs! I never saw such eyes before.
The others, surprised by his cry, halted and turned; but Legolas started to ride back.
No, no! cried Gimli. Do as you please in your madness, but let me first get down from this horse! I wish to see no eyes!"
(The Two Towers, The Road to Isengard)
Makes me laugh everytime! Especially the "do what you will in your madness" line. I just picture Legolas taking off with poor Gimli there.
