Less funny when you think what this means, but yes, and in general LOTR's humor is slow-paced, not too persistent, but of caliber impossible to ignore.
Tolkiens humor is best described as subtle but mighty imo. I still chuckle a bit when thinking about the conversation between Bilbo and Gandalf at the beginning of the Hobbit. And even the prelude to the story has funny little details as well as the anecdote by Gandalf of how Golf was invented later on
