Lobelia has just left Hobbiton.
Pippin is less comic relief in the novel than in the film, but he does have his moments and give Gandalf the excuse to say things like, "Fool of a Took!" and "Hit them with your head!" at the gates of Moria, just before he (Gandalf) gets the password all wrong. But I do love the relationship between the wizard and this hobbit; it's one that's rarely explored in discussion. Really, Gandalf is fond of Pippin.

And he does save Beregond in battle and Faramir at the tombs. One thing I was surprised they didn't play for laughs in the film was Pippin getting fallen on by a troll.
