It shouldn't be too hard to believe. Because it happens all the time. I sure hope you're not considering The Hobbit as a "more serious" movie or book. The book was written for children and was about as whimsical as it gets. I'm sure children laughed hysterically at Alfried's antics.
And for what it's worth; Legolas's and Gimli's buddy-cop humor in the movie versions of LoTR didn't really work for me at all. Different strokes. Funny doesn't have boxes it fits neatly into (or
doesn't fit into) for everyone involved.
