LEGO The Lord of the Rings

  • In the Prologue, the Men get the Nine Rings... and one of them drops his.
  • Gandalf's head hits the chandelier in Bag End more often than it did in the movie. Eventually he gets so fed up that he knocks it off the ceiling.
  • Gandalf rides to Isengard, seeking Saruman's counsel. His horse skids to a stop, he dismounts and bows to Saruman... and his horse keels over behind him.
  • The Black Riders bursting into the Inn of the Prancing Pony... and then asking where the bathroom is.
  • When Aragorn lights a fire to scare off the Ringwraiths, one of them pulls out a fire extinguisher.
    • Later on, when Arwen conjures up the flood at the river, one of them has a surfboard.
  • Merry and Pippin dressed like doctors after Frodo was stabbed by the Witch-king.
  • Poor, poor Boromir. He gets shot with an arrow, a broom, and finally a lethal banana. Thankfully, Aragorn saves him from the chicken.
  • One scene makes it look like Gandalf is smoking. Turns out he's actually drinking hot tea.
  • The rangers and Gollum chasing each other back and forth as Frodo explains the Fellowship of the Ring's mission to Mordor.
    • It gets funnier when you see that he's chasing after four of them wielding a fish and finally at the end they dogpile on top of him.
    • Meanwhile, Frodo has a hard time remembering exactly who was in said Fellowship.
  • The placement of the "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!" line: A Pizza Delivery at the Black Gates made by the Easterlings.
  • The recurring gag of Eowyn being eager to join in an upcoming fight, and then acting disappointed when circumstances keep her from doing so.
  • Peter Jackson throwing an Oscar at the invading Uruk-Hai during the Battle of Helm's Deep.
  • Synchronized horseback riding.
    • The horses in general are funny.
  • One quest found in Edoras involves a guard who mentions he used to be a Citadel Guard, but then he took an arrow to the knee.
  • Legolas using Gimli's axe as an arrow after he's run out and needs to shoot the Watcher in the Water.
  • "Let's hunt some Orc." (Gimli cocks his axe like a gun)
  • Sam going to sleep with a teddy bear.
  • As Frodo and Sam begin their journey to Mordor, Frodo says, "I'm glad you're with me, Sam." before tossing his pack onto Sam, who's already carrying all of their supplies.
  • Gimli bursting into loud sobs whenever someone dies — or he thinks they're dead. Legolas quickly gets fed up of this.
  • A lampshade is hung on Legolas' Captain Obvious tendencies in the film by having him slide in with a cheesy look to deliver his "A diversion!" line.
  • Saruman swatting the moth that comes to help Gandalf with his staff.
  • Elrond holding a bone in one hand and a guide to putting together Lego figures with the other.
    • And note how quickly he hides both bone and guide when he notices that Frodo's awake. It's as if he was trying to figure out how he could have ended up with an extra bone after healing Frodo. Oh wait...
    • For further laughs, look over Elrond's shoulder and to the left in the background. You'll see a Lego man in a black suit and sunglasses. Looks like Elrond was having a visit from another of Hugo Weaving's famous roles.
  • "The Fellowship awaits the Ringbearer!" Awkward pause ensues as Frodo goes to the bathroom.
  • Galadriel glaring at Boromir the entire time they're with the elves.
  • When one of the Uruk-Hai is accidentally shot in Helm's Deep, the others start crying.
    • Also, the parody of the slow-motion run.
  • When the Ents release the river onto Isengard, there's a brief shot of one Ent surfing.
    • Plus, Saruman just throws a fit.
    • And kicks the Palantír into Pippin's head.
  • In the film and the book, Gollum bites off Frodo's finger to get the ring. Here, he pulls off his hand. What does Frodo do? He grabs it and screws it back on his arm.
  • The simple fact that dwarf throwing, based on an already hilarious moment from the film trilogy, is a gameplay mechanic. It's funny every time.
  • In Moria, Gandalf takes off his hat and puts it on Pippin's head, obscuring his vision and causing him to stumble around and knock the skeleton down the well, eventually falling in as well. Once they get him out of the well, Gandalf then proceeds to blame him for the incident, even though it's technically his own fault.
  • Like the canon, the words written on the One Ring appear when the Ring is heated. Here, however, it happens when Frodo drops it in his tea. Also, Sam falling down the chimney.
  • When Frodo's mithril vest is revealed, the glow is so bright that Gimli, Merry and Pippin put on sunglasses.
  • Sam, Merry and Pippin's Paper Thin Disguises during the council — Sam hiding in a flowerpot with flowers on his head, and Merry and Pippin wearing false mustaches with glasses attached.
  • Gandalf the White turns Aragorn's sword into a bunch of bananas.
  • Celeborn the Henpecked Husband.
  • The guards at Helms Deep moving a grand piano in front of the door.
  • The head of Gimli's axe falling on his head during when he announces that he'll go with Frodo. He gets another one later when he drops an anvil on the torch-bearing orc... which causes him to trip and sends the torch flying onto the explosives.
  • When Pippin doesn't hand over the Palantír immediately, Gandalf hits him on the head with his staff. Then when he does hand it over, Gandalf hides it under his beard, and Pippin starts sulking.
  • When Frodo knocks Gollum down the stairs, Gollum falls past Sam, who waves at him as he passes.
  • The facial expressions Frodo makes before succumbing to Shelob's poison.
  • Shagrat and Gorbag's tug-of-war over Frodo's mithril shirt.
  • When Sam hits Gorbag with his frying pan, the orc tries to avoid falling down the ladder.
  • During the siege of Minas Tirith, one of the orcs gets hit with a pig, and another is stepped on by their giant troll.
  • An oliphaunt rears up in fear when it sees a mouse.
  • When Éowyn says "I will kill you if you touch him!" to the Witch King, the horse behind her nods.
  • Aragorn wearing a pirate hat when he shows up with the Army of the Dead.
  • During Théoden's death, Merry picks up his bottom half and looks nauseated.
    Théoden: My body is broken.
    [Eowyn picks up his upper half, while Merry picks up his legs a few feet away]
    • Also, Théoden's horse briefly sits up and looks around, then dies.
  • While climbing Mount Doom, Frodo sees a mirage of an ice lolly cart.
  • Gollum knocks Sam out with a flower pot.
  • During Mordor's collapse, Gimli gets hit on the head with a piece of rubble.
  • When the eagles fly to rescue Frodo and Sam, Gandalf wears a pilot's hat and goggles, and controls his eagle like an airplane.
  • During Boromir's funeral, his canoe gets stuck on a rock, so Gimli throws a stone at it to make it move.
    • And as it falls down the waterfall, the canoe starts hitting a bunch of rocks, making pinball noises.

LEGO The Hobbit

  • During the trailer, Legolas catches one of the hearts from Tauriel and Kili and tosses it aside in disgust. Jealous, are we?
  • After giving Thorin, Ori, and Kili titles such as King, Shooter, and Ladies Man during the trailer, it pans over to the rest of the dwarves and they're titled The Rest.
  • During the encounter with Gollum, a goblin who's with Bilbo shakes his head and waves his arms, telling Bilbo not to accept his game of riddles. When he does, the goblin facepalms.
  • The Running Gag of Azog's severed hand trolling him.
  • When the company is captured by Thranduil's soldiers, Bifur manages to duck away and hide behind a rock with Bilbo, who gives an Oh, Crap! face to the camera when he realizes he can't understand a single thing Bifur is saying.
  • When the Orcs find Bilbo and the others, Yazneg tells the other to tell Azog about it. The orc pulls out a telephone, then gets frustrated when he has to leave a message.
  • Most of the funny moments relating to Bombur revolve around his gluttony. For example, when Smaug tries to burn the company, Bombur uses the firey breath to cook a piece of meat.
