History Funny / TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney

** His facial expressions when he's trying to guess the answer to the eggs riddle Bilbo gives him.

* In the prologue of the film, Frodo tells Bilbo that people think he's becoming "unsociable." Bilbo scoffs at this, and then [[IResembleThatRemark orders Frodo to put up the "No Admittance Except On Party Business" sign]].

* Bilbo is already exasperated by the number of dwarves in his house, only to have half a dozen of them fall in on top of each other when he opens the door again.

* As the dwarves raid his pantry, Bilbo notices Bombur taking ''three wheels of cheese'', to which he asks if they have a cheese knife. Bofur responds with, "Cheese knife? He eats it by the block!"

** It's probably a shotglass for when Bilbo breaks out the hard stuff, like whiskey or whatever. Gandalf asked for "a little red wine" and [[ExactWords Dori brought him just what he asked for]].

*** Oin playing the teapot by blowing into it, using the lid like a mute. (A ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/TheTripletsOfBelleville'', where one of the triplets plays on a teapot the same way.)
** Thorin losing his way ''twice'' on his way to Bilbo. Just the thought of Thorin wandering around the Shire haplessly is amusing.
** The contract that the Dwarves present to Bilbo is also pretty hilarious; it starts out standard enough, until Bilbo reaches the Liability section and discovers that [[TheManyDeathsOfYou all the methods by which he could be maimed or killed]] require several fold-outs.

* After arguing with Thorin in the Trollshaws, Gandalf storms off to seek the company of "the only person who makes sense around here". When Bilbo asks who that is, Gandalf shouts, "Myself!"

** Bilbo's first attempt to distract the trolls:

** In particular, Bilbo's exasperated expression at the dwarves being slow to catch on and Kíli's indignant, "We don't have parasites! [[NoYou You have parasites]]!" He's clearly thinking, "Please play along you idiots!"

* During the warg attack, Ori gets out his slingshot and fires a rock at a warg three times his size, which doesn't even flinch, and [[PunchPunchPunchUhOh realises]] that that wasn't the best idea.

*** A third thing: it could be taken as Elrond directly responding to Thorin's standoffishness and rudeness, in this case by trolling the dwarves. A light-hearted way to remind the dwarves that they are guests and ought to drop the hostilities.
** Then, at supper, there's the reaction of the company to elvish diets--which seem to consist mostly of salads. Dori tries to convince Ori to try "just a mouthful" of the salad, and the other fellow sniffs "I don't like ''green'' food!" Ori then asked if the Elves have any chips (i.e. French fries).
*** Double the fun for French-speaking viewers who're familiar with ''AudioPlay/LeDonjonDeNaheulbeuk'', where the cooking habits of dwarves and elves are explored at length (of course, elves are "green-eaters", and dwarves are awfully fond of beer).

** In the Extended Edition, Kíli winks at one of the elf women, only to get glared at by Dwalin. He tries to make excuses, saying that he thinks elves are too skinny, with not enough facial hair, though he points out one as "not bad". [[UnsettlingGenderReveal And then the Elf turns around.]] Kíli gets an OhCrap expression followed by laughter from the other Dwarves at his expense.

** Gandalf defending the dwarves in front of Elrond by saying they are a noble, decent, and cultured folk, [[InstantlyProvenWrong while Nori steals a salt shaker, then turns around and rudely tells the harpist to change her tune because it sounds like a funeral]], to which Óin agrees. Meanwhile, Bombur shows his JabbaTableManners.

--->'''Bilbo''' (whispers): Well I've heard that it's unwise to seek the council of elves, for they will answer both yes, ''and'' no.

--->'''Goblin:''' It is my belief, your great protuberance, they are in league with elves! ''[Holds up a silver candlestick]''

** Some of the goblins' disgusting mannerisms, particularly in the Extended Edition when the Great Goblin is called "your great protuberance" and when he says he wants the truth, "warts and all".

*** In a behind the scenes clip, Creator/BarryHumphries on the mocap stage gives an alternate reaction of staring down (presumably at his now-spilled guts) and saying "I don't remember eating this!"

** The look on Kíli's face when he manages to block some goblin arrows with his sword. He just can't believe it actually worked.
** Blink and you'll miss it, but Bombur is fighting the goblins with '''''cooking utensils'''''

** Finally, when he realises Bilbo has his ring. The build-up of intense music and his angry snarl makes it seem like he's about to lunge at Bilbo and strangle him. Instead, Gollum flings the nearest rock to hand at him in the most hilariously childish way possible.

** The eagle then, unnecessarily, picks up Bilbo and immediately drops him on the back of another eagle, almost scaring him to death. Why didn't he just carry him like that? It's like he didn't want to be weighed down by the tiny hobbit. "You take him. I don't want him."
* An unintentional one, but when The Company has just been dropped off by the eagles, they look up and see Erebor. From their faces, it looks like Erebor is, say, a couple miles away, but then it pans to where they're looking, and ''it’s so far away you can barely see it.''

*** Two things make it funnier. First, Elrond puts his icy Agent Smith face on and [[NotSoAboveItAll trolls the dwarves]]. Second, he's actually talking to his servants, telling him to start the fires because [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "we must feed our guests tonight"]]. This makes his reaction nearly identical to Bilbo's "I like visitors as much as the next hobbit". No wonder they get along so well.

* When Balin comes in and notices Dwalin trying to get some biscuits out of a jar, except his hands are too big. And later, if you're looking, the biscuits are on the table on a plate and [[http://lostwiginity.tumblr.com/post/44140923700/remember-how-dwalin-was-into-those-cookies Dwalin seems a bit fidgety with them.]]
* Gandalf deciding that Bilbo's having an adventure, whether he likes it or not.

* Take a good look at the glass Dori brings Gandalf, who asked for "a little red wine". Even at Hobbit scale that thing is ''tiny''. Given Hobbits' reputation for overindulgence in good food and drink, you have to wonder just what possible use Bilbo would have for something so small (maybe this is what he brings out when the Sackville-Bagginses come to visit). Gandalf gives it a slightly disappointed look and hum after downing the stuff in one go.
** It's probably a shot glass for when Bilbo breaks out the hard stuff, like whiskey or whatever. Gandalf asked for "a little red wine" and [[ExactWords Dori brought him just what he asked for]].

*** The fact that it is described as "just the usual". Dwarves apparently have a standardised contract for hiring people on for adventures, and have an actual bureaucracy to enforce such contracts.
* During the dwarves' meeting, Balin points out that they aren't exactly the most well-equipped for dragon hunting. Kíli then claims that they'll have no problem, since Gandalf the great wizard is with them -- he's no doubt slaughtered ''hundreds'' of dragons in his time. Gandalf's response is to splutter protests and stuff his pipe in his mouth. When Dori demands an exact number, he starts choking on it. The whole image of Gandalf totally wrong-footed like that is hilarious. Made even funnier because as a Maiar, essentially ''an angel'', he's been flustered by a simple dwarf.

* After arguing with Thorin in the trollshaws, Gandalf storms off to seek the company of "the only person who makes sense around here". When Bilbo asks who that is, Gandalf shouts "myself!"
* Bilbo doesn't seem comfortable on his pony at first, but is later shown fussing over "Myrtle" when he thinks no-one's watching. The fact that the Company is meant to be a group of tough, gritty adventurers, yet name their ponies things like "Daisy", "Minty" and "Bungle", is also hilarious.

** Thorin in the background trying to bite his way out of the ropes.

** He then starts telling them that they're cooking the dwarves all wrong. Thus, they get into a discussion more fit for a civilised kitchen, with many loud (and understandable) dwarven protests and denouncements of Bilbo as a traitor. Except for Thorin, who's yet to [[TheStoic bat an eyelid]] at [[SurroundedByIdiots any of this]], gives the group [[PromptingNudge one good kick]] followed by a small glance gets the rest declaring that they too have parasites ("I've got parasites as big as my arm!") and stink and are highly unfit for the spit half their number are currently lashed to.

*** Actually, Thorin has alot of NotSoStoic moments before he catches on Bilbo's ploy. From calling Bilbo a "traitor" to yelling [[BigNo "NO"]] and [[ComicalOverreacting struggling helplessly]] against his ties when he suggests skinning them.

** A FunnyBackgroundEvent: when the dwarves all start declaring they have parasites, Ori ''still'' doesn't get it and goes "WHAT?!" at the others like they're all crazy.

* Thorin's expression on happening upon Orcrist in the troll cave goes from shiny-eyed admiration straight to ''eww I touched it'', when Gandalf tells him that the weapons are of elven make.

* As Radagast is running from the Necromancer/Sauron, his rabbit sleigh takes off without him, and he has to catch up to them! What makes the scene hilarious is the sight of the rabbits clearly itching to run away... [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere they obviously decided to just]] ''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandon]]'' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Radagast]].
* When Radagast is getting excited explaining what happened at Dol Guldur, Gandalf has him take a smoke of his pipe (after wiping the mouthpiece with his beard). Radagast's eyes briefly roll back into his head and smoke comes out his ears.

** Then, at supper, there's the reaction of the company to elvish diets--which seem to consist mostly of salads. Dori tries to convince Ori to try "just a mouthful" of the salad, and the other fellow sniffs "I don't like ''green'' food!" Ori then asked if the elves have any chips (i.e. French fries).

** Óin gets annoyed at the music being played by the elves, so he stuffs his ear-horn with his napkin with a smug grin. Especially funny considering he might have [[FridgeLogic just not used his ear-horn in the first place]]! For her part, the flautist seems to be trolling him, as she leans toward him while playing and is likely aware of his distaste.

** In the Extended Edition, Kíli winks at one of the elf women, only to get glared at by Dwalin. He tries to make excuses, saying that he thinks elves are too skinny, with not enough facial hair, though he points out one as "not bad". [[UnsettlingGenderReveal And then the elf turns around.]] Kíli gets an OhCrap expression followed by laughter from the other dwarves at his expense.
---> '''Dwalin:''' That's not an elf maid.
** Gandalf defending the dwarves in front of Elrond by saying they are a noble, decent and cultured folk, [[InstantlyProvenWrong while Nori steals a salt shaker, then turns around and rudely tells the harpist to change her tune because it sounds like a funeral]], to which Óin agrees. Meanwhile, Bombur shows his JabbaTableManners.

::: Done so wonderfully he manages to say "well, ''yeah''" without having to speak a single line.

** Gandalf slices a goblin in the neck. He stands there staring at him for a moment... and then Gandalf taps him of the side of his head, [[BloodyHilarious and it goes rolling off]].
** Thorin and company have nearly escaped the mines, when suddenly, they're attacked by the Great Goblin! The Great Goblin blusters about how they won't escape and then Gandalf pokes him in the eye and disembowels him.

** Finally, when he realises Bilbo has his ring. The build-up of intense music and his angry snarl makes it seem like he's about to lunge at Bilbo and strangle him. Instead Gollum flings the nearest rock to hand at him in the most hilariously childish way possible.

* In a rather mean way, the [[CurbStompBattle unfortunate end result]] of Thorin's fight with [[spoiler:Azog]] was rather funny. All that build up, with intense close ups, choral music and a slo-mo UnflinchingWalk... Purely hindsight, of course.

* An unintentional one, but when the Company have just been dropped off by the eagles, they look up and see Erebor. From their faces, it looks like Erebor is, say, a couple miles away, but then it pans to where they're looking and ''it’s so far away you can barely see it.''
* It's very easy to miss, but in the final shots, Óin can be seen using his ear trumpet despite the fact that it's been crushed flat by the goblins.

*** In a behind the scenes clip, Barry Humphries on the mocap stage gives an alternate reaction of staring down (presumably at his now-spilled guts) and saying "I don't remember eating this!"

** Even funnier is Gandalf's expression immediately afterward. He is well aware that Bilbo just insulted him.
