Top 10 Funniest The Lord of the Rings Characters

Pippin

"I had the loveliest dream last night! There was a large barrel full of pipe-weed. And we smoked all of it. And then (to Merry), you were sick!"
Peter Jackson hit the center of the board casting Billy for this role. Perfect. Just, I'm starting to tear up. Perfect.
"Oh, that was close!"
"It comes in pints?!?"
"What about breakfast?"
"What about second breakfast?"
"I've always been taller than you! Please Merry, you're what, three foot six? At the most?! Whereas me, I'm pushing three seven!"

Pippin is hilarious! He's always in a good mood, even in the darkest times, and always has a joke in his head. In the darkest, saddest moments of The Lord of the Rings, Pip (and Merry too) will always bring some laughs.

Gimli

I'm not a giant fan of how they made him into a comedic relief in the movies, but I'm not complaining. Hilarious!

Throw me. You have to throw me. I'm too short to jump. Just don't tell the elf.

The comic relief of the series. Without him, it's just a bland movie.

Gollum

Gollum is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He was introduced in the 1937 children's fantasy novel The Hobbit and became an important supporting character in its sequel, The Lord of the Rings. In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, he is portrayed... read more

I'm not saying I like Gollum, but you have to admit, he is definitely by far the funniest. I HATE Gollum! He's so stupid, but he was the main reason why I was laughing.

Gollum is hilarious! I love the way he speaks and his songs are great! His arguments with himself are also brilliant!

Uh, hello? Pippin's an idiot, but he's never as funny as Gollum. Who can't vote for this slimy little slug?

Merry

He and Pippin are pretty much Fred and George before Harry Potter was a thing. Though in the books, I always found him smarter, more curious, and funnier. It's a shame that his character wasn't portrayed that way in the movies. I feel like he and Pippin were set as the comic relief.
Yet, even in the book, they shared some laughable times that made me smile. I'm voting for Merry and not Pippin because I feel that Merry is often an overlooked member of the fellowship, even though he is by far one of the bravest. (I mean, come on, he's a little Hobbit in a big war. That bravery.)

Not #2. Why is he not 2nd only to Pip?!? Oh, I see. Don't be hasty.

Legolas

Legolas is a character in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. He is a Sindarin Elf from the Woodland Realm and one of the nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Legolas was portrayed by Orlando Bloom in Peter Jackson's live-action film adaptations.

Look up on YouTube "fifteen times Legolas was the best part of LOTR." You'll see the funny side of him and be cracking up laughing! Have you seen the Return of the King where they demand to see the eye at the Black Gate? Legolas is trying to look around Aragorn, and he looks half camel, half insect with those eyes!

He is calm in battle. It's just so funny. I love when Gimli says, What's happening out there? and Legolas replies, Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?
I love how sometimes he just stands in the background pulling the weirdest faces.

Gandalf

Gandalf the Grey, later known as Gandalf the White, is a fictional character and one of the protagonists in J. R. R. Tolkien's novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He is an Istar, a type of Maia sent by the Valar to aid the peoples of Middle-earth against the threat of Sauron during the Third... read more

"Gandalf, where are you going?"
"To seek the company of the only one around here who's got any sense."
"And who is that?"
"MYSELF, Mr. Baggins!"
Gandalf and his insults are just gold. All praise Sir Ian McKellen.

Fly, you fools! I love the way he insults even his closest friends with his last three words.

Sam

Samwise Gamgee, known as Sam, was a Hobbit of the Shire. He was Frodo Baggins' gardener and best friend. Sam proved himself to be Frodo's most loyal and dependable companion in the quest to destroy the One Ring.

He played a critical role in protecting Frodo and helping complete their mission.... read more

Frodo

Frodo Baggins is a fictional character and the main protagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings. He was a Hobbit of the Shire during the Third Age and was chosen to be the bearer of the One Ring in the quest to destroy it. Frodo was portrayed by Elijah Wood in Peter Jackson's film adaptations... read more

Actually, he's quite hilarious. I mean, all his drama.

Bilbo

Bilbo Baggins is the title character and protagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit, as well as a supporting character in The Lord of the Rings. He was the first Hobbit to become widely known outside the Shire and was one of the few to travel to the Undying Lands across the ocean. In film... read more

The way he's kind of awkward yet sweet and obsesses over little things is why I love him - and why I relate to him so much.

"If this is some blockhead's idea of a joke, it is in VERY poor taste!"

Gríma Wormtongue

He's funny in the book as well as the movie. I can remember reading as a child and imagining a raspy voice saying, "You lie!"

Tauriel

?

Kili

Denethor

I can't take him seriously whenever he's slobbering or shaking his head, screaming.

Thranduil

Because Elvish kings are the best!

Boromir

Yes! For some reason, I just look at him and I laugh! Loved his line in Moria: "They have a cave troll." So funny the way he says it.

One does not simply put Boromir below Frodo in a funniest list.

Aragorn

Aragorn II, the son of Arathorn II and Gilraen, is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium and one of the main protagonists of The Lord of the Rings. He is a skilled ranger and warrior, and as Isildur's heir, he carried the reforged sword Andúril, which was once the shards of Narsil... read more

Elrond

In 'Fellowship of the Ring' he heals Frodo, and he looks like a squirrel!

Alfrid Lickspittle

This man is so pathetic, he's hilarious.

Bombur

Arwen

Mouth of Sauron

Éowyn

Witch-king of Angmar

Bofur

Morgoth

Morgoth Bauglir is a fictional antagonist from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Introduced as Melkor, he was the first and most powerful of the Valar, corrupted and renamed Morgoth in The Silmarillion.
