* The dinner scene. While it must be a huge emberassement for Bilbo, for unknowing visitors to come and eat his entire food supplies, the dwarves get along very nicely with each other. And them passing the dishes while singing without breaking any of them, doubles as a funny moment too.

** A minor heartwarming moment coupled with a funny moment: In case Bilbo ''did'' agree to join the party during the meeting, the dwarves decided to eat all of his food so it wouldn't go bad while he was away. Strange logic? Perhaps. But sweet nonetheless.

** While Gandalf doesn't know it at the time, it's also a fair explanation of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the future]]: years later, he discovers that Bilbo's nephew has the ArtifactOfDoom whose destruction could save all Middle-Earth. Once again hobbits get involved in a quest too big for them, and once again, their kindness, loyalty, and love play havoc with the manipulations and dark power of the enemy.

* Thorin's explanation for why he believes his band of just 12 Dwarves, many of whom are not even warriors, are worth more than an army from the Iron Hills.
