    I loved the constant double-acts Guybrush did, and I laughed out loud at Stan's "Trial of the century-y-y-y-y-y."

    If you have subtitles on for the ending, Elaine calls Lechuck an "evil sack of scumm".

    The best thing.

    Yeah, but she did it wrong. It was supposed to be an evil sack of SCUMM. I think this is the first time the SCUMM engine reference has been put into lower case since its first use as a bar and an ingredient in Grog.

    One of my favorite jokes was during the bar fight. "Elaine, honey? I have to confess... Morgan and I spent some time together inside a manatee..."

    I actually liked Elaine a lot better when she was poxed. Rape threats aside, she was a lot funnier...

    Are you kidding? The rape threats are STILL the part I LOLed the hardest in the entire game! I can never hear the term "Captain's quarters" again w/o guffawing because of that scene!

    Also, GB attempting to seduce Judge Grindstump to go over "scandalous legal briefs" was unexpected, cringe-worthy, and funny for all the wrong reasons (I love how it made the pirates in the court unsettled to).

    Ha, I forgot about that one. That was hilarious, especially Grindstump's reaction.

    I love all the references to Stan's "optically defying jacket." :D

    That and "feed him to the jungle beast!" ...had me cracking up every time.

    I was actually a bit disappointed by that. Stan's jacket and waving arms have always been totally out of place and totally ignored, and I thought it was funnier that way.

    Marquis: "Oh i'm as happy as a penguin sliding on his belly"

    Me: "Goddamn I love this shit"

    I loved "The doctor is BUSY!!!!

    "The doctor is OUT!!!"

    "Out of his freaking mind."

    My favourites were mostly the more serious ones rather than the funny ones.

    "Go to hell LeChuck!" - not overstated but filled with raw hatred all the same

    "From Melee to Monkey, and all the islands in between my love" - *sniff*

    But as for funny lines... The whole "bonnie lass" bit had me laughing out loud. What a mental image THAT is!

    This pic + "Bonnie lass" quote = They're still into crossdressing roleplay I see...

    My favourite lines were from Guybrush:

    "I don't have any heirs... that I know of!"

    "-Where were you on the night of August 15th?
    -I was on a date... with your wife!"
  • edited November 2009
    For some reason, I was oddly amused any time Elaine and Morgan pointed their swords at Guybrush. Oh, and when Krebs ran into the bathroom in total fear was funny too.
    I found it funny at first when LeChuck and Guybrush had that "jinx" moment and then they started giggling. But after the ending, I just found it sad.

    Really love that entire scene :)

    Stan: "NOTHING sells like dead celebrities."
    Guybrush: "Yeah, well I don't plan on dying today."
    Stan: "And I didn't plan to wear the same jacket for 20 years, but here we are."

    Chest of Foreshadowing minus the chest. :d
    (I didn't notice that until now)

    But anyway, my favourite funny scenes were probably the ones where Guybrush talked to himself. And Stan's 'Trial of the Century-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y' was amazing and funny in a kind of pathetic way. xD

    Also, I found "Unholy this!" to be my favourite non-funny line. It was a leetle stroke of brilliance that I loved. Irony, ah-ha!

    LeChuck:"My name is LeChuck and I can tell you exactly what Guybrush did"
    Guybrush:"Don't listen to him!"
    LeChuck:"You see, your honor, the Pox is all my fault!"
    Guybrush:"Listen to him!"
  • edited November 2009
    I don't remember exactly, but it was Guybrush saying something like this (I think it's after speaking with the dude who makes the unbreakable stuff) :
    "Suck some scum, and everyone wants your head !"
  • edited November 2009
    I guess this was the first episode where Guybrush actually says a "™"... I think it was in "Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™".

    These were literal LOL moments.

    Oh, I completely forgot!

    'Zat, is a bucket of water.'

    When you try to use the cat with his owner on the stand.

    "This cat isn't paralysed. Watch. Go to your master"
    *throws cat, it falls to the ground with a thud*

    Just read through this entire thread to see if anyone mentioned 'ze bucket of vater' :) good thing I was alone in the house right then, because I actually laughed out loud (as oposed to smirked in a mildly amused sort of way) and I'm not sure if I woudl have been able to explain why it was so funny..

    probably something to do with guybrush acting all offended/upset that de Singe had managed to make fun of him when he asked what the bucket of water was... 'zat, is a bucket of vaater' (implying guybrush was an imbecile).

    good times :)
  • edited November 2009
    Heh, I've just noticed that when you look at the wind device at the end, Guybrush says:

    "Somehow De Singe has figured out how to make the Vacaylian Wind Device pulverize people into a fine powder."

    But the subtitles say:

    "Somehow De Singe has figured out how to make the Vacaylian Wind Device pulverize people (and annoying parrots) into a fine powder."

    Even better when Guybrush imitates him upon examining it again, complete with 'Mightier-than-thou' pose.
    (And I lol'd as well, so high-five. xD)

    i laughed out loud at the toy guybrush's arnold schwarzenneger accent! totally unexpected and funny!
  • edited November 2009
    After the first couple of things Elaine said on the witness stand, I have no idea what else she said because I was laughing so hard, just at the situation, here's Guybrush's wife going on about all the horrible things he's done and it's all true but not an issue without the Pox.

    I stand corrected, I'm playing SoMI: Special Edition, and there's quite a few places where they left "SCUMM" in lower case in the subtitles, though strangely enough, if you switch to the old version, "SCUMM" is still capitalized.

    I LOL'd when Hardtack is forced to wear the wig as punishment. I just liked the way he said 'Ooh, it's delightful'.

    'So, how goes miss Barfywhiskers?'

    'For the last time, her name IS MISS PRETTYWHISSSKEEERRRS!!'

    that doesn't need to be illuminated

    A very funny one is when I tried to use my hook on Elaine and Morgan fighting, to break them up, and Guybrush said "I don't wanna use my hook on that, I don't know where it's been."

    I also loved DeSinge not being French, and "Zat is a bucket of water".
  • edited November 2009
    Some of the things Guybrush says about the Voodoo Sponge are hilarious.

    "Y'know, when I dreamed of becoming a Mighty Pirate TM, I never imagined that one day I'd be tying eye-popping napkins to the non-existent necks of mystical sponges."

    "C'mon little Sponge, eat the nice smelly antepawsta..."

    (I totally missed this joke the first time around.)

    After combining the sponge with Stan's obnoxious coat, the smelly lion's paw, and the spicy Fugu Jolokia a second time, Guybrush says to it:

    "Hot, stinky, and bad for the eyes is no way to go through life, Sponge."

    "Property....of...the Voodoo Lady!"
    - "What-the-what?!"
  • edited November 2009
    Yeah I love GT's acting in ToMI he really emotes.... Especially when someone says something off the wall, his facial expressions, and stuttering are fantastic... definitely the most cinematic of all the MI games...... if you exclude the cut scenes from MI3 :p
  • edited November 2009
    One of my favorite lines in the series is in Curse, when you're talking to the Voodoo Lady. If you get her to tell you about El Pollo Diablo, you can have Guybrush scream in terror before the story even gets scary. That's funny enough on its own, but what makes it really great is the horrified scream Dominic Armato provided.
  • edited November 2009
    LOL yeah I actually do that to my wife when she talks about "scary" things..... I imagine its not all that easy being my wife I am far too sarcastic.
  • edited November 2009
    Okay, I seem to be going way outside chapter 4 here, but here's another form Curse. I love how when you're on your way to Danjer Cove, there's items all over like club, box, bottle, machete, stick, and device, and after you get eaten they become snake-beating club, high-fiber cereal, Snake-Away, snake-slicing machete, snake-beating stick, and jaws of life.

    Also, upon examining the biscuit barrel, "Biscuits and More. I wonder what the 'more' is."
