* When disguised as Gullet, Guybrush can find the actual Gullet himself still stuck to the rudder of the ship. Gullet is puzzled to encounter a doppelganger, and Guybrush can choose to pull his leg by claiming to be his twin. Amusingly, Gullet turns out to indeed have a twin, named Mullet, but since he is his fraternal twin, Gullet is confused as to why "Mullet" all of a sudden looks so much like him. Guybrush quickly makes up the excuse that fraternal twins just happens look more like each other with age, and Gullet instantly buys it wholesale without any further questions, and starts to aloud wonder why his brother has chosen to appear now to mock him in his moment of defeat.

Added DiffLines:

* Whenever Guybrush goes to talk with Carlotta in the governor's mansion, they always pull out swords and start dueling. They aren't even angry with each other, but as great fighters, they just enjoy the practice while they converse about life and needs.
* Part of getting Carla's trust back is giving her a "forgiveness frog", but it's not enough without knowing more about her from her statue or other dialog. Thus, sometimes you'll get a humorous, "I reject your frog." And despite the oddity, once you have everything, its voodoo magic thus makes her surprisingly compliant.

* After Guybrush (in disguise) is hired into the crew as a swabbie, Gullet (the head swabbie) goes on a power trip and forbids Guybrush from leaving the hold for any reason whatsoever, not even for food, sleep, or toilet use, mocking and laughing at Guybrush all the way. After Gullet leaves, a frustrated Guybrush, clearly questioning the decisions that led him here, sarcastically sings "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me" under his breath.
