Hum. it would appear Orwell has written a fair few things - quite a bit more than I was aware of.
Perhaps I should divert a little attention his way at some point.

I have been telling myself the same thing for years.

I was playing with OpenAI chat and ordered it to tell me a joke about every member of the Fellowship.
Here they are (it clearly has a long path before itself in this area. Only Pippin is semi-humorous.)

Why was Gandalf always late to meetings?
Because he was a wizard, and he had to go through so many doors!

Why did Samwise Gamgee always carry a spade with him on his travels?
Because he was a gardener, and he needed it to dig up leeks!

Why did Pippin Took always carry a ladder with him on his travels?
Because he was always climbing to new heights!

Why did Frodo Baggins always carry a map with him on his travels?
Because he was the Ringbearer, and he had to find his way to Mordor to destroy the One Ring!

Why was Merry Brandybuck always so jolly?
Because he was a Hobbit, and Hobbits are known for their love of food, drink, and good company!

Why was Gimli always so grumpy?
Because he was a Dwarf, and Dwarves are known for their gruff and cantankerous personalities! Just kidding, Gimli is a courageous and loyal character who becomes a close friend to the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Why was Boromir always so strong?
Because he was a Man, and Men are known for their physical strength and martial prowess! Boromir is a brave and skilled warrior, and he is a valuable member of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Why was Aragorn always so confident and self-assured?
Because he was a man, and he knew he had a great destiny to fulfill! Aragorn is a noble and courageous character who becomes a key leader in the quest to destroy the One Ring and defeat the Dark Lord Sauron.

Why was Legolas always so calm and collected?
Because he was an Elf, and Elves are known for their grace, poise, and calm demeanor! Legolas is a skilled archer and warrior, and he is a valuable member of the Fellowship of the Ring.

------------------------
Interestingly enough, generally it does not tell any "jokes" about First Age characters, it only states that their stories are "generally treated with a sense of gravity and importance, and I don't have any jokes about him/her."
