Because you are not going to tell me with a straight face that a character such as Alfried works in The Hobbit and actually mean it. Could that guy be funny? Is he funny? Yes, IMHO he is, but not in an epic fantasy movie.
It's like putting a Mr. Bean-like character in Shogun... Mr. Bean is very funny, but not in that context.
It's very hard to believe that there are actually people who think slap-stick characters work well in more serious movies (or books).
