Line 29:
* [[Artifact Title]]: This game has nothing to do with Monkey Island.
* [[Art Imitates Art]]: In Chapter 1, there is a Desingeograph of the "Vitruvian Pirate", which Guybrush calls "Pirate Da Vinci", on the Illuminopictoscreen; this "Vitruvian Pirate" is definitely a spoof of ''Vitruvian Man'' by [[Leonardo da Vinci]].
** In Chapter 4, the provocative painting of Chieftain Beluga hanging above W.P. Grindstump in Club 41 is most likely a parody of the 1636 painting [[wikipedia:Dana%C3%AB
* [[Ascended Meme]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP5bR1o-elg Grog XD] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f66lfr5VzOo&feature=related appears in the fifth part]. Sort of a recursive meme, since the Grog XD joke was based of of [[The Long List]] of ingredients found in Grog in ''[[The Secret of Monkey Island]]''.
** The singing manatee that De Cava left on Roe Island is named [[Oh, the Humanity!|Hugh]].
Line 402:
* [[Official Couple]]: Guybrush and Elaine.
* [[Once For Yes, Twice For No]]: Discussed in Chapter 2: When Elaine says that she can't leave Spinner Cay with Guybrush, he can say, "Why? Does someone have a cannon to your head? Blink twice if the answer is 'yes.'"
* [[Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?]]: In the [[
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: {{spoiler|Guybrush’s tipoff to ghosthood is the return of his severed hand. He has to go through some figurative hoops to return to the land of the living, where he can’t manipulate any objects that he didn’t bring with him.}}
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: The Voodoo Lady says that “zombie” is not the best word {{spoiler|for what Guybrush becomes. He does act pretty much the same as in life, except for a variant of a [[Zombie Gait]]}}.
Line 468:
*** Similarly, Morgan having read about Guybrush's exploits and learning that the real person is quite different indeed, like Elizabeth and Jack Sparrow in the first movie.
*** Also, in Chapter 2, Elaine shouts out, "Hoist yer colors, ya mangy sea dogs!" This quote is a reference to the song, "Hoist the Colours", the main theme of ''Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End''; and it's derived from the phrase "hoist the colors high", referring to the custom of raising the flag on a ship.
** Also, in Chapter 3, {{spoiler|Guybrush demanding a vote from Bugeye and getting into a Poxed rage}} gives a nod to when Bruce Banner would get angry so much that he would transform into the [[
** And LeChuck's speech to Elaine {{spoiler|up to the point when Morgan stabs him}} in the end of Chapter 5 is a parody of Old Man Waterfall's [[Sedgwick Speech]] in an episode of ''[[Futurama]]''.
** Chapter 5, {{spoiler|traveling between the material world and the afterlife through rips in space, which connect the afterlife to previously visited locations}}? Didn't ''[[Loom (video game)|Loom]]'' end the same way?
** [[Shout-Out/To Shakespeare|To Shakespeare]]: ''Tales'' has a few of the shout-outs to [[William Shakespeare]]:
*** At the beginning of the intro to Chapter 2, the Voodoo Lady quotes England's deposed king Edward IV's words to Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick (a.k.a. just Warwick), before the former is taken captive in ''[[Henry VI Part 3]]'': "What fates impose, that men must needs abide; / It boots not to resist both wind and tide" (IV.iii). Only her subtitle got it right ("needs"), while her voice got it wrong ("need").
*** In Chapter 4, if the player has Guybrush use one of the severed legs on the altar without dipping it in sugar water, he will quote a few lines in a spoof of "Alas, poor Yorick" from ''[[Hamlet]]'' (V.i) (this is done in the [[
*** Speaking of [[
*** In Chapter 5, {{spoiler|Morgan}} stabs {{spoiler|1=LeChuck}} and calls {{spoiler|him}} a "bunch-backed toad", which is taken from the line from ''[[Richard III]]'', in which Queen Margaret, widow of King Henry VI, curses Queen Elizabeth (wife of King Edward IV) with: "The day will come that thou shalt wish for me / To help thee curse that poisonous bunch-backed toad" (I.iii).
* [[Show Some Leg]]: In Chapter 4, Bosun Kathryn Krebbs testifies against Guybrush and, in the midst of her testimony, pulls her legs to the top of the witness stand, distratcting the [[Wolf Whistle|Wolf Whistling]] crowd with the "nacho sauce burn" on her Poxed leg ({{spoiler|which turns out to be a mixture of hot fluids that she concocted up in order to take revenge on the ''wrong'' Guybrush Threepwood}}).
