The dwarves were so uncomfortable above ground that they used umbrellas to simulate the crushing weight of thousands of tons of dirt and rock.

While watching a fellow dwarf attempt to fly, Fili and Kili realise that having umbrellas does not automatically make you Mary Poppins.

Kili wondered where that hot Elf chick had gone, and after he went to the trouble to get this this umbrella so she wouldn’t get her hair wet!

Kili was beginning to be a bit suspicious of the whole "umbrellas will keep you safe from roving bands of orcs and other disasters" thing, but Fili was just happy his looked like a peppermint.

Ahhh, this is hard. Okay, I wanna give honorable mention to Boromir88 for extra sassy nerd references, and I know I'm predictable, but I'm choosing mooning dwarves because it made me giggle a lot-- take it away, @Dwimerkins

It was a risque painting, no doubt about that. Frodo believed he was seeing some new meaning of life in it, somehow, but Sam was just offended.
