Tales of Monkey Island: Difference between revisions

* [[Ass Shove]]: {{spoiler|1=Near the end of Chapter 5, while Morgan stabs LeChuck after Guybrush has trapped him, Elaine gives the villain one by stabbing him with the Cutlass of Kaflu... let's just say... ''right in the fundament''! [[Avoid the Dreaded G Rating|And this is an E10+ rated game, too!]]}}

** Previously subverted near the end of Chapter 1: when the player tries to use the ancient weather vane on De Singe while he's in the messed up idol, Guybrush will say, "Oh, I'd love to, but I'm pretty sure that De Singe [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|doesn't have the necessary... slots]]."

* [[Attending Your Own Funeral|Attending Your Own Wake]]: In Chapter 5, {{spoiler|1=when Guybrush (as a ghost) goes through a rip in the Crossroads to Club 41 ''before'' going to the Manatee Mating Grounds in order to find the Voodoo Lady's locket (via another rip), Bugeye tells him to be quiet when he and W.P. Grindstump are "in the middle of a pirate wake", and Guybrush is surprised to find his own body [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|holding a dartboard and wearing a party hat]]. He can look around the club and talk to Grindstump to find out what happened after Guybrush died at the hands of LeChuck. Afterwards, he can exit his own wake and continue on in his quest to get back in his own body, as before.}}

* [[Avoid the Dreaded G Rating|Avoid the Dreaded E Rating]]: ''Tales'' is the second ''Monkey Island'' game to receive a rating higher than an "Everyone" that only ''[[The Curse of Monkey Island]]'' received (the first was ''[[Escape from Monkey Island]]''), and the first game to receive an E10+ rating because of frequent alcohol references and uses, a few uses of mild language, a few scenes of [[Bloodless Carnage]] and [[Family-Unfriendly Death|Family Unfriendly Deaths]], and more frequent uses of adult jokes and [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]], and the aforementioned [[Ass Shove]] (see above).

* [[Back from the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Guybrush}} at the end of chapter 5.

** To a lesser degree, {{spoiler|Guybrush's last shred of life which you start out with in chapter 5. It's used in the climax of the second-to-last puzzle.}}

* [[The Chessmaster]]:

* [[The Chew Toy]]: Hemlock McGee.

* [[Compressed Vice]]: If Van Winslow had been as obsessive about the map in Chapter 1 as he was in later chapters, then Guybrush would have never been able to solve its final puzzle!

{{quote|'''Grindstump:''' The defendant will cease his inane histrionics, or the court will be forced to ''[growls a bit before he becomes Pox-enraged]'' [[Large Ham|YANK OUT HIS TONGUE WITH A RUSTY SHRIMP FORK! ARRR!]]}}

* [[Cute Ghost Girl]]: {{spoiler|1=Morgan LeFlay in Chapter 5.}}

* [[Dance of Romance]]: Elaine does it with Guybrush in Chapter 4, {{spoiler|although it is parodied as a "Freaky Waltz of Attempted Rape"}}.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: {{spoiler|1=LeChuck just impales Guybrush, rather than go for an overtly elaborate [[Death Trap]].}} Possibly [[Foreshadowing|foreshadowed]] in a way, in the second episode, when he says that {{spoiler|if he wanted to kill Guybrush, he would just throw him off a cliff}}.

* [[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?"}}
