* When Guybruth is looking around the Voodoo Lady's shack for the first time in Chapter 1, he sees a closet. When he goes to open it:
-->'''Guybrush:''' Wonder what's in here--?
-->'''Voodoo Lady:''' Don't touch that! It's where I keep my...unmentionables.
-->''Guybrush shudders in disgust''
** If you move the pointer over the closet again, it's title will have changed from "Closet" to "The Scariest Closet In The World".

* Another one from Chapter 3: the "Pirate Face-Off" scene is funny on its own, [[FunWithSubtitles but it's even funnier with the subtitles on]], as the growl each pirate makes when showing their face is subtitled as ''*[Name of last expression] SOUND*''. (e.g. ''*GEEZER SOUND*'' or ''*MEANIE SOUND*''


Added DiffLines:

* How about the fact that despite the game being in 3D with mordern graphical power, the developers went out of their way to make sure Stan's jacket ''[[StylisticSuck still]]'' [[StylisticSuck had the glitchy-looking]] UnmovingPlaid [[StylisticSuck effect it used to]], because they felt he simply wouldn't be Stan without it!

Added a few more parts to it.

Added DiffLines:

* Guybrush pretending to sacrifice the Pink Pajama Pierre Porcelain Power Pirate figurine at the altar in Chapter 1.
** Also funny is when he does that pretend voice while dipping the figurine in a vat of ink. "Sacré bleu! Eez zis ze end of Pink... Pajama... Pierre? Glug!"
* Also, Guybrush distracts De Singe on the last wind idol so he finds a way to have De Singe blast himself sky-high and onto the idol. You can even hear De Singe yelping in pain as Guybrush rotates the idol until the correct facial part-matching makes him sigh in relief.
