Yeah, but those were funny moments. Well, the spit thing wasn't axactly hilarious, but I loved how they took the horse-swing bit, which itself upped the ante from the cave troll bit, and showed they were going to top it with the mumakil. And then they blew it completely out of proportion to the point where it almost got silly, before punctuating it with Gimli's line. And I laughed myself when Gollum asked himself about the taste of orc meat in the other scene you mention. Sounds like an audience I could appreciate.
