trying to think of the single funniest bit of tolkien trivia you could reveal to someone who only watched the movies and, while the whole tom bombadil section is one obvious pick, and while the inexplicable random sentient fox pov in the hobbit is another one, I think it's gotta come down to "know how aragorn and boromir have beards? they're actually physically incapable of growing them in the books"

For me it's when Tolkien goes out of his way to reassure the reader that the ponies that the hobbits leave behind lived long and happy lives and were well cared for.
