{{work}}
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: Locking Stan up inside one of his own coffins.
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: The dream sequence. Okay, it is referenced later on {{spoiler|as the solution to a puzzle}} but three games and 19 years later, we still have no idea why it happened or [[Mind Screw|what the fuck it was supposed to mean]].▼
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:

** "That is a nice-looking beard. One thing's for sure... [[Blatant Lies|I am never shaving this off]]."
** Guybrush's beard in the original version of this game is probably about as badass as he can ever realistically hope for. The Special Edition reduces it to wispy fuzz that barely even qualifies as a beard at all, but this leads to some [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] moments since Guybrush spends the whole game talking about how much effort it took him to grow his beard, when it's barely even noticeable (which Wally eventually calls him out on in [[The Curse of Monkey Island

* [[Not So Crazy Anymore]]: During the [[Rube Goldberg Device]] sequence, one of the questions you can ask LeChuck is "Why are adventure games so expensive?", and his response is "Scanned VGA art is expensive." This is obviously alluding to the fact that when the game was originally released in 1991, scanning images into a computer was an extremely novel concept, and this was one of the earliest examples of a game using completely hand-painted backgrounds that were scanned (some digital cleanup was applied, of course; still, this was a major selling point when the game first came out). This used to be something much more time-consuming and tedious. Nowadays, his comment can be a bit jarring if you're a contemporary player who's been used to the fact that scanners are now pretty much ''everywhere'' and affordable to the point that many own one the size of a standard sheet of paper in their own home.
* [[Squick]]: Seeing Governor Phatt, his grotesquely obese body lying in bed, with some ugly goo being constantly fed to him through tubes.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]:
*
** Much like in [[The Secret of Monkey Island|the game's predecessor]], the [[Sam and Max]] cameos were removed because of copyright reasons, although in the case of the previous game, the Sam & Max totem was at least replaced with one in the likeness of [[Day of the Tentacle|Purple Tentacle]]...
* [[Values Dissonance]]: Apparently, it's not acceptable to make jokes about white slavery anymore.
* [[The Woobie]]: Wally.
