For all the stubborn arrogance of the dwarves throughout numerous examples in The Hobbit trilogy, they also have some of the most fun and light-hearted moments, including the group bandying with Kili over his love of ‘elven women’ as he mistakes a male elf in Rivendell, and the group of them all swimming butt naked in a very regal fountain, with some very reserved and unimpressed onlookers. The comedy of the dwarves is one of the most clever techniques used by Peter Jackson and the creative team to undercut some of the more serious and harrowing moments in the storyline.
In fact, there are whole characters who basically exist to break up the tension and the tragedy in the films, including Alfrid, the servant of the Master of Laketown, and the Master himself, who are both absurd and farcical at varying moments in the trilogy. Some fans feel that the comedy elements within The Hobbit cheapened the movies, and felt disrespectful to the original vision that Tolkien had intended whilst he was writing the book back in the 1930s, whilst others feel that these are the most redeeming factors of what could otherwise be very difficult to digest action movies. This humor as a way to defuse the tension is a technique that can be seen in arguably one of the funniest moments of the whole franchise, and it involves the 13 dwarves and their approach to Beorn’s cabin.
