  • In the 4th game, talking to Cheese at the SCUMM Bar implies that he is able to beat Ozzie Mandrill at Insult Arm Wrestling. And yet, he is pretty much a pushover who Guybrush can beat without trouble? But then you can swordfight Ozzie later and he's so good that the fight is unwinnable?
    • Maybe Cheese was lying. Hardly uncommon for people to boast about accomplishments they never did.
    • Possibly an example of Crippling Overspecialization at play here — Cheese might have taken the time to research and learn all the bizarre Australian insults employed by Ozzie, but in doing so forgotten the more traditional pirate insults, allowing Guybrush to beat him.
