Line 111:
* [[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 chapter, when he says that {{spoiler|if he wanted to kill Guybrush, he would just throw him off a cliff}}.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Currently, ''Tales'' seems destined to become the darkest entry in the series, as {{spoiler|Guybrush got his hand cut off, a character dies, and there's another character that dies in the game, and that's... ''Guybrush''}}. Also, the more "adult" jokes are much more frequent and overt than they were in the previous games.
** Not to mention that, unlike previous games, ''Tales'' has fewer [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Fourth Wall Breaks]]. Other than Guybrush talking to
* [[Darkest Hour]]: {{spoiler|1=In Chapter 4, Guybrush watches Morgan die from a stab wound (which had been inflicted by LeChuck). As if that wasn't enough, he and Elaine get caught in clamshell traps set up by De Singe just as the former is finishing the Feast for the Senses for [[MacGuffin|La Esponja Grande]], and after he destroys De Singe and cures everyone of the Pox of LeChuck, the villain himself breaks free, creates a bit of a [[Hope Spot]] for Guybrush and Elaine by temporarily freeing them, and then erases it by [[Hero-Killer|killing the former]] and capturing both the latter and the sponge. While Guybrush is thinking up some means of escape in the Crossroads of the afterlife, LeChuck knocks Winslow off the Screaming Narwhal and sets it adrift at sea, damages Flotsam Island by destroying many of its inhabitants, destroys Spinner Cay and its many Vaycaylians, damages the entire Gulf of Melange and makes it his own [[Villain World]]. Right after Guybrush creates another [[Hope Spot]] and opens the rips in the Crossroads, the villain gets his chance to erase it again by tossing the sponge into the rip and drawing voodoo power from the Crossroads. And to make matters worse, Elaine agrees to be turned into his demon bride who then sprays Guybrush with voodoo root beer, zapping him back to the Crossroads! A truly dark hour indeed}}!
* [[Dead Artists Are Better]]: Both discussed and parodied in Chapter 4:
