* FridgeBrilliance: When [[spoiler: [=LeChuck=] gets his voodoo form back]], he goes back to having his original voice actor, [[spoiler: Earl Boen,]] and, from then on, starts to make smarter and more dangerous moves. Basically, [[spoiler: the ''true'' [=LeChuck=] is back]].
** It's not huge, but I noticed Guybrush walks differently when he's on a ship. He's got sea legs!

*** Actually, when you try to knock on the door for the first time, the flowerpot falls off and Guybrush has to pick it up. This may or may not have been Fridge Horror.

** Throughout the series, treasure is always buried under a visible [[XMarksTheSpot X]]. At first, [[spoiler: [=LeChuck's=] spell]] in chapter 5 seems like an exception to this, but in fact, [[spoiler: it's at the center of the biggest X there is, the Crossroads themselves]].

** In Chapter 1, when you ask Nipperkin about Morgan LeFlay, he will tell you that none of the stories he heard add up, each pirate describing a different man, leading him to believe that someone's trying to hide something. Cue the reveal that [[spoiler:[=Morgan LeFlay=] is actually a woman, and suddenly all the different stories make sense : none of the pirates would admit to have been beaten and captured by a woman, so each one made up a different description of the dreaded pirate hunter!]]
** Guybrush's [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction relatively unconcerned]] reaction to having [[spoiler:his hand lopped off by Morgan's sword]] makes sense if you notice that it's not [[OrganAutonomy flailing around like it should be]] in that scene, meaning he was able to anesthetize it with grog like he said he would.

* FridgeHorror:
** The first time you knock on De Singe's door, you can hear a man screaming, [[MadDoctor "OHHH HO HO HO! MY NOSE!"]] There is a nose-shaped pot next to the door.
** In the Chapter 2 intro, the Voodoo Lady is seen reading Guybrush's future [[spoiler: and predicting his death]]. In Chapter 3, you use these tarot cards to curse De Singe. She wasn't reading Guybrush's future - she was cursing him!
** She also sends him to find [[GratuitousSpanish La Esponja Grande]], which [[spoiler: gave [=LeChuck=] the power and caused Guybrush's death]].
