Funny Moments with Gimli (and one with Aragorn)


Despite the seriousness of the themes of The Lord of the Rings the Book and the Movie both have an overarching tone that is generally that of suspenseful adventure, lighthearted, slightly humorous, and excited in a suspenseful sort of way. Sure, there are gloomier spots and happier funnier spots, but Tolkien did a great job on the Tone. But I don’t want to talk about Tone and mood, that is no fun to talk about, but I know what is… in Peter Jackson’s Movies, he inserts bits of humor all over the place. In general, they surround Gimli…which is funny in and of itself. So here are some clips I found and have been shown. Enjoy them! Oh, yeah … They are funnier if seen while watching the movie.

When saving him from a fall... 

 Right before The Battle at Helms Deep

Final count at the end of The Battle at Helms Deep

Or..If you prefer an omnibus...

This is Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) breaking his toe (by kicking a helmet). 
Just FWI...WATCH THE MOVIES AND READ THE BOOKS!!! BUT READ THE BOOKS FIRST!!!
