Tales of Monkey Island: Difference between revisions

* [[Impossible Thief]]: The thief in The Crossroads in chapter 5. ''And with no hands.''

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: {{spoiler|In Chapter 5, W.P. Grindstump can even throw '''''a freaking cash register''''' at Guybrush to crush him if he revives as a zombie (that is, unless he surrenders)!}}

* [[Incredible Shrinking Man|Incredible Shrinking Pirate]]: In Chapter 4, Guybrush uses one of the buttons on De Singe's Auto-Trepanation Helmet and gets shrunk a bit smaller than the size of a lab vole for a bit before growing back to normal size.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Given the series, these are unavoidable, but of note is Guybrush's "[[Dora the Explorer|D'Oro the Explorer]]" in Chapter One. His left hand actually slaps him for it.

* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: Apparently, someone on the Telltale staff likes the word "manatee".

* [[Inhuman Human]]: {{spoiler|Guybrush [[Came Back Wrong|comes back as a zombie]] in Chapter 5, albeit with a few cases of [[I'm Having Soul Pains|Soul Pains]] and [[Resurrection Sickness]].}}

* [[Intangible Man]]: {{spoiler|Subverted at first in Chapter 5, when Guybrush can still touch and pick up the items as a [[Ghost Pirate]] in the Crossroads of the afterlife; but when he returns to the living world, it becomes Double Subverted when he tries touching the Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu, only to find that he can't touch it (or any other item) or even pick it up while in the living world (he needs to get back in his own body in order to do that).}}

* [[Interspecies Romance]]/[[Mermaid Problem]]: The scene in Chapter 2 when the MerLeader plants a kiss on Guybrush {{spoiler|after the rescue}} is kind of... [[Squick|Squicky]], and Guybrush responds nervously with "How about a reward instead?"

** And in Chapter 5, Guybrush discovers that Winslow and Anemone (a merperson) are in a relationship, and wonders aloud "how that works... logistically."

* [[Ironic Echo]]: "Unholy THIS!"

* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: Throughout the entire game, the Marquis De Singe (and Joaquin D'Oro) pronounces his own name as "''deh SANJ''" (with the short "a" sound in "apple"), and the Voodoo Lady and Hemlock McGee pronounce the name as "''day SAHNJ''" (with the "a" pronunciation in "father"). Guybrush and Morgan LeFlay, on the other hand, pronounce De Singe's name poorly, coming out only as "''deh SIHNJ''", like the word "''SIHN-jee''" without the "ee", or like the English word "singe". It's possible this may have been them pulling a [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] with him, though. The correct pronunciation, incidentally, is how he says it himself, and it means "of Monkey" (not "of the Monkey", that would be "du Singe") in French.
