comic relief in LotR

Hi, this is my first post. :-)

I wanted to say I love all the comic moments that others have mentioned, but there's another great one that I haven't seen here yet --

Gandalf is trying to figure out the words to open the doors to Moria, and says that the doors cannot be forced open from the outside.

"What are you going to do then?" asked Pippin, undaunted by the wizard's bristling brows.

"Knock on the doors with your head, Peregrin Took," said Gandalf. "But if that does not shatter them..." (etc.)

I love Gandalf! When those brows start to bristle, watch out!
