POLL: Is Tom Bombadill someone who'd get anoying?

A friend of mine says Bombadill could get anoying. I'm sorry I... I just don't see it!
 
I get the idea being around Tom would be like being around someone who whistles or hums all the time.
:)
:(
:mad:

I mean how long could somebody go around singing "Hey doll derry doll ring a ling a shamma lamma ding dong" before you'd want to scream?


It's kinda like arguing with Harad.
If you get my drift.......:D
 
"Sigh" I'm sorry. I just really don't see how. Oh, I get it. Maybe I'm just someone who hums or whistles all the time? Oh, I don't know. I simpley don't see how to get bored with old Tom!
 
Ok, now I'm sad! Poor old Tom! Am I the only one who apreciates him? "a waste of time" honestley! What would the hobbits have done with out of good ol' Tom Bombadillo!?
Hey! Come derry dol! Hop along, my hearties!
I love that old song! Are their any other people out their who like Bombadil?
 
Wait a minute!

I like Tom in the book.

I just happen to understand that he could get on somebody's nerves.
 
Right, then what about mister amerxtremist? Humph! Waste of time... Grumble, grumble...:mad:
 
I couldn't really say if Toms annoying, but I most certaintly DO NOT think the two chapters on him were a waist of time!!! This world could use some people like him around that always looked on the bright side of things.Anyone who thinks Tom is a waist of time needs to be a bit more like him!
P.S.ILLOTRTM-am I the friend that you said thought he was annoying? If I am I didn't mean it.
 
I imagine that sometimes, if you were married to him or just around him a lot, he would get on your nerves... like a spouse who is chipper and up and singing at five in the morning when you want to sleep... etc... If you do not want to sleep you might like it. If you do it would be pre-murder stage.
 
While I enjoyed Tom in the book, I cannot say I was sad to leave him behind. I always dreaded how he would come off in a movie. I was glad Jackson left him out.
 
Xanaphia- Yes you ARE that friend. It's ok. All is forgiven, now I've met these pesimists! I give up! I guess old Tom is just not cut out for the real world. I'll always be his loyal fan! Yay Tom!

But think of the technical difficulties of making the hobbits look small next to DeVito! :)

But DeVito might have carried it off.
 
I guess he was alright in the book, but I started getting annoyed with his "Merry dol, derry dol!" after a while. Its just IMHO.
 
oooh... vicious, aren't we... I kind of resemble Bombadil in that I'm always spouting out nonsense, so I think we would get on each others nerves because we would be filling up each other's air space.
