Context Funny / EscapeFromMonkeyIsland

Go To

1* Deadeye Dave's customer record retrieving machine has some amusing records you can find, like "Arthur F. Jomama" and "Sam N. Max".
2* Turning up in a "traditional piratey town" on Jambalaya Island, only to see buildings such as Starbuccaneers and Planet Threepwood.
3* The "Pirate School" on Knuttin Atoll.
4** Bonus points to the school's no-nonsense teacher Miss Rivers, hilariously voiced by [[Film/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles Edie McClurg]].
5* Ozzie Mandrill's incomprehensible Australian insults, to which Guybrush can only respond with utter confusion.
6-->'''Guybrush:''' Uh...well...Digeridoo to you too!
7* Admiral Casaba's [=McCarthyism=]-style paranoia about pirates.
8-->'''Casaba''': In my experience, [[ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld there are only two types of pirates]]: those who are committing acts of wanton savagery, and those ''planning'' to commit acts of wanton savagery! If you allow groups of the latter to congregate for any lengths of time, they inevitably transform into mobs of the former!
9* You can also talk to Murray... Or make him spin around on his pedestal, which annoys him. There's absolutely no productive reason to do this. It's just funny.
10--> '''Murray:''' If you don't stop spinning me, I'm gonna put an ''eeeevil'' curse on you! ''(Guybrush spins Murray again)'' That's it! You're cursed! You are gonna have ''such'' a rash!
11* You can optionally [[TemporalSuicide kill Guybrush's future self]] (twice) in the Mists o' Time Marsh, leading to this hilariously casual reaction.
12-->'''Guybrush:''' Gee, they're right... gun owners ''are'' five times more likely to shoot themselves.
13* Guybrush's interactions with the duck he finds on Lucre Island: "That's the second-biggest duck I've ever had in my pants." If you use the duck from your inventory, it may randomly moo instead of quack.
14-->'''Guybrush:''' [[SillyAnimalSound "Moo?" What kind of weird duck are you?]]
15* "No! ''My'' grog!"
16* This exchange from the first act:
17-->'''Carla:''' Do you have any idea how difficult it is to escape from Monkey Island?\
18'''Guybrush:''' No, how difficult is it to... '''[[TitleDrop Escape from Monkey Island]]™!'''\
19'''Carla:''' ...Well, it's... really difficult.
20** And then later when you meet Meathook:
21--->'''Guybrush:''' So how did you guys '''[[TitleDrop Escape from Monkey Island]]™?'''
22--->'''Meathook:''' Same way you did I suppose.
23--->'''Guybrush:''' With Herman's hidden ship?
24--->'''Meathood:''' ...''Herman had a ship?!'' That jerk never told us!
25** Bear in mind that when Guybrush says the title drop, he does so by putting on a Creator/DonLaFontaine voice.
26* The Dainty Lady Figurehead. Voiced by Creator/PamelaAdlon, making her sound like a surly chain-smoking Texan.
27-->'''Dainty Lady Figurehead:''' What is this compulsion you have to dress me up, you pantalooned FREAK?
28** Also her outrage to discover that the ship's been painted pink - about the only time she agrees with Guybrush on anything.
29* Ask Stan if he's working for Ozzie, and he will vent gloriously.
30-->'''Stan:''' ''(Angrily)'' Ozzie Mandrill? Let me tell you something about Ozzie Mandrill, kid. Ozzie Mandrill doesn't know squat about being a real entrepreneur! He doesn't know the thrill of haggling, the ecstasy of a hard-earned sale, the agony of a lost customer! All Ozzie wants are orderly lines of zombies, queuing up to purchase his pre-fabricated, pre-priced, pre-processed garbage! I ask you, kid, where's the fun in that, huh?! Where's the love?
31-->'''Guybrush:''' He wouldn't hire you?
32-->'''Stan:''' ''(Glumly)'' Not even an interview.
33* When Guybrush rides the lava flume ride, he will sometimes sing a little song:
34--> '''Guybrush''': The temperature's a-risin'\
35And my sweat is vaporizin'\
36And I cannot feel my legs below the knees any more!\
37Oh, the lava is hotter\
38Than a flame-broiled otter\
39And my shoes are slowly melting to the fiberglass floor!
40* The heinous answers that Guybrush can give at Pirate reeducational school.
41* It's hard to hear due to overlapping dialogue, but Guybrush sifting through H.T. Marley's safe deposit box for the deed to the governor's mansion has him listing off all kinds of NoodleImplements during his search.
