Line 16:
** [[Word of God]] says that even after {{spoiler|Reginald Van Winslow falls in love with the female-ish Anemone, "her" gender is supposed to be a mystery - ''including to him''.}}
*** Word of God is inconsistent, as the official walkthrough for {{spoiler|chapter 5 refers to Anemone as "she" and "her" (sans the quote marks)}}.
*** But then, if you're going to make family-friendly games (even if they're as bizarre as the Monkey Island series), adding in a casual could-be-gay couple might get some disapproving letters from more traditional parents, and referring to the apparently genderless Anemone as 'she' may be purposely to deflect this one. Guybrush refers to Anemone as 'she' in Part 5 as well - although having said that, Van Winslow most likely [[
* [[American Accents]]/[[Deep South]]: In Chapter 5, the Thief in the Crossroads speaks in a deep voice with some sort of Southern Hillbilly accent. And he seems to have some [[Sacred Hospitality|Southern hospitality]], despite the fact that he is a thief from the start.
* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|1=If the after-credits sequence of Episode 5 is to be believed, LeChuck, who's basically trapped as an ethereal goop. He ''can'' scream, but nobody except the Voodoo Lady is likely to do anything about it}}.
Line 125:
* [[Dies Wide Open]]: In Chapter 4, {{spoiler|1=Morgan LeFlay falls in a slump after whispering to Guybrush about LeChuck and [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|dies with her eyes half open]]; Guybrush becomes grieved at her loss, then pulls the sword from her [[Bloodless Carnage|not-bleeding body]] and has her hands enclose its hilt, tilts her head in a proper death pose and closes her eyes before getting up and walking away.}}
** Averted at the end of the same chapter, {{spoiler|when the mortally wounded Guybrush's eyes open wide in a blank stare at a saddened Elaine, but then gently close as he collapses and [[Big Sleep|"falls asleep"]] with his mouth open.}}
* [[
* [[Does He Have a Brother?|Does He Have a Cousin?]]: Said by Anemone in Chapter 2 when talking about Winslow after repairing the mast of the Screaming Narwhal. This indicates the start of Anemone's relationship with Winslow, which later blossoms in Chapter 5.
* [[Does This Make Me Look Fat?]]: One of the silver trophies in the PS3 version of the game is labeled: {{spoiler|"Does This Corpse Make Me Look Fat?"}}
Line 202:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "Would you mind releasing my wife? She gets a little cranky when she's tied up for more than an hour or so."
** Morgan: [[Talking in Your Sleep|Gomez... not on the carpet!]]
** When Elaine is begging Guybrush to join forces with human LeChuck one of her lines is "[[
** [[Double Entendre]]: Oh yeah, this game has got many of them: from Guybrush's aforementioned asking LeChuck to release Elaine to trying to show stolen items to someone ("I generally don't rub my booty in the faces of those I've stolen it from.") to looking at the cans in a shack on Roe Island ("Nice cans. I mean... nice CANS!") to repeatedly attempting to steal an empty treasure chest (Trenchfoot: "You just keep your hands off my chest." Guybrush: "Not a problem. In fact, I can guarantee I won't be touching a single part of your body!") to Guybrush recalling his previous events in the Flotsam Jungle {{spoiler|with the Feast for the Senses menu}} ("No more [[The Talk|listening to bees and birds and boars]] for THIS Mighty Pirate™!") to {{spoiler|1=LeChuck attempting to have La Esponja Grande and Elaine all to himself after killing Guybrush}} ("But I be willin' to share my booty, [[
* [[Ghost Pirate]]: {{spoiler|1=Guybrush himself becomes one after being slain by LeChuck, but later finds a way to repossess his own body, and he's returned to normal at the end of the final chapter.}}
* [[Glamour]]/[[Instant Allegiance Artifact]]: {{spoiler|1=LeChuck's belt buckle is a sort of a mix between the two when he wears it while he is human, acting like a [[Harmless Villain]] and making people believe that LeChuck has made a [[Heel Face Turn]]. However, in Chapter 2, Guybrush acts suspicious about LeChuck, as does Elaine, and they both take turns keeping an eye on the villain's motives which they believe may be suspicious rather than helping him. Unfortunately, in Chapters 3 and 4, Elaine succumbs to the [[Hate Plague|Pox of LeChuck]], making her unable to concentrate on his motives; and by the time that LeChuck becomes a [[Big Damn Heroes]] in saving Guybrush and winning him over to the villain's side, Guybrush's mind becomes too clouded to concentrate on LeChuck's villainous deeds, which ultimately leads to his [[In the Back|fatal]] [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|downfall]] by the time he [[Stupid Sacrifice|cures everyone of the voodoo Pox]] at the end of Chapter 4.}}
Line 463:
*** Also, in Chapter 4, he has a prototype of the Swashbuckling Suzy Long-Lasting [[A Christmas Story|Leg Lamp]], which can be useful for Guybrush.
** "Can I call you '[[Dora the Explorer|D'Oro The Explorer]]?'" ''(immediately gets [[Dope Slap|punched]] by his own left hand)''
** In Chapter 2, when Guybrush has Hardtack and Trenchfoot try to guess a number, the two numbers that both of them guess wrongly are a reference to the [[Arc Number|Arc Numbers]], with Hardtack's guessing number 27 a reference to the curse for musicians who have died at the age of 27 (Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and, most recently, [[Amy Winehouse]]); and Trenchfoot's guessing number [[
** In Episode 5, [[Sam and Max Freelance Police|Banang]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2vrd7g1AK8 makes a brief comeback.]
** Also in Episode 5, the Voodoo Lady manifests {{spoiler|in the Crossroads}} as a scuttle of crabs. This is very likely a reference to ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: At World's End'', where Tia Dalma does the same thing {{spoiler|after she has her powers as Calypso restored}}. What makes this especially interesting is that ''Pirates Of The Caribbean'' was inspired by the earlier ''[[Monkey Island (series)|Monkey Island]]'' games, and Tia Dalma is a reference to the Voodoo Lady. Which means she references the person who was inspired by ''her''.
