Mr. Bean, for example, is humor that works for me. Monty Python (the movies, that is) does so as well. I would rather have seen a character such as Alfried in a Monty Python movie as compared to seeing him in The Hobbit. In a Monty Python movie he would probably have worked (and possibly even worked well indeed), in The Hobbit he was just annoying.

I can describe dozens of characters such as Alfried that appear in fantasy or science fiction movies, and they just feel like unnecessary additions. (In Alfried's case, he actually WAS an addition... just like Tauriel, who didn't work either. IMHO.)
Jar-Jar and baby Vader.
Those never fit anywhere.
