Line 32:
* [[Crying Wolf]]: After Guybrush overuses his "[[Look Behind You!]] a three headed monkey" phrase, the cannibals of Monkey Island™ don't fall for it when a three headed monkey actually shows up.
* [[Cutting the Knot]]: The glorious underwater idol puzzle. Several sharp objects that could free Guybrush are just out of reach. If you wait long enough, two guys walk onto the pier, lengthily debate tossing a sword into the ocean directly over your head... [[Hope Spot|then decide against it and walk off again]]. Then in a unique instance, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMq762wbQS8 Guybrush dies for real].
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the second half the game you are supposed to save Elaine from getting married to LeChuck. But just as you [[Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace|interrupt the ceremony]], you find out she had freed herself a long time ago, due to LeChuck's gullibleness, and was just about to complete the final step in her plan for getting rid of him, and now [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|you have messed it up]]. Subverted trope, as Elaine turns out to be a [[Badass Damsel]] with an [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]].▼
* [[Deserted Island]]: The titular island, Castaway / Treasure Island varieties.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: The shopkeeper is more than happy to go visit the Sword Master as many times as you need him to.

Subverted trope, as Elaine turns out to be a [[Badass Damsel]] with an [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]].
* [[Dummied Out]]: [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]]: There's a certain stump in the woods of Mêlée Island™ with a tunnel hidden underneath it, leading into what Guybrush describes as a system of catacombs. However, it's impossible to enter it, as the game requests the player to insert several floppy disks that didn't come with the game, and Guybrush simply concludes that the catacombs are inaccessible. Many players didn't realize this was a joke, however, a fact which is referenced in [[Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge|the sequel (and its 2010 Special Edition)]].
** And many other players can only learn of the joke from the Internet, since the joke was taken out in the CD edition (where it wouldn't really have made a lot of sense, because there's only one CD to play on) and the Special Edition (which was directly based on the CD version), making the Stump joke a hilarious meta-example of a [[Dummied Out]] joke ''about'' [[Dummied Out]] content.
Line 55:
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Guybrush for Elaine. Also, if you decide not to save the idol task for last in The Three Trials, you get to see a scene that reveals that Elaine also fell for Guybrush at first sight.
* [[The Maze]]: One in Mêlée Island™ and one inside Monkey Island™
* [[Megaton Punch]]: LeChuck sends Guybrush to the skies of Mêlée Island™ . An [[Astronomic Zoom]] out ensues to display Guybrush's ballistic trajectory.▼
* [[Meanwhile Back At The]] ghost pirate ship of LeChuck. Deep beneath Monkey Island™
▲* [[Megaton Punch]]: LeChuck sends Guybrush to the skies of Mêlée Island™ . An [[Astronomic Zoom]] out ensues to display Guybrush's ballistic trajectory.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Did you sink your own ship with the catapult? Your crew won't take it well... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxlTnrhtBXk Watch]. ''[[Escape from Monkey Island]]'' makes it the canonical ending; the crew resents Guybrush for abandoning them.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]:
