Most underrated line in the MI series?

KromsKroms
edited February 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
I have a few. Most of mine are from Tales, which I've been re-playing.

- Murray (from Curse): "I'm bored out of my skull - figuratively speaking, of course."

- DeCava on the Voodoo Lady: "Mi dio! That two-timing, sooth-saying strumpet!" Later: "I'm gone for two seconds and she's making time with a pre-pubescent picaroon!" If you try to approach him without Morgan: "Get away from me! You don't sail another man's ship simply because it's laying in the harbour!"

- Morgan to DeSinge: "What part of 'non' do you not comprandes?"

- Elaine to Guybrush (Tales opening): "Oh would you run him through so we could all get out of here and go home?" LeChuck: "As you wish, my dear."

- Elaine and Bosun Krebbs upon seeing human LeChuck for the first time: "Woof."

- Guybrush (from Escape): "Sometimes it feels like my life is an unending series of puzzles."

Oh, and I really liked "What the what?" from chapter four of Tales.

I'm sure there's dozens more. I've been re-playing Tales and picking up all sorts of jokes I missed first time round. Can you suggest any?

    The whole "killing Santino" sequence. Murray and Moose are HYSTERICAL in that scene!

    "Torture me!"

    "Yeah, torture him!"

    "Yeah!"

    "YEAH!"

    And, of course, "Santino's deadddd!"

    Leviathan has a lot of subtle ones. The manatee calling Guybrush "plankton", Noogie's "No, Sister Agnes, Noogie's sorry!"

    Elaine: I'm going down to city hall to see about getting declared un-dead.

    Guybrush:Won't that make you a flesh-eating zombie?

    No no, it's the first one. I've just recently read "best lines of the MI series" (or similar) and now comes "most underrated line in the MI series". Just makes me chuckle, that's all. ;)

    "Baby, that dress is making me hungry..." - Guybrush (in a really creepy voice) to a tourist in Escape.

    "Cozy" (SoMI) The first MI line I ever clicked to hear.

    When looking at the fire place in the Scumm Bar, right? Yeah, I love that one, too.

    Those one-word lines like "cozy" are always fun! For example:

    "Beady" (when looking at voodoo beads in EFMI)
    "Junky" (when looking at junk in TOMI)
    "Yummy" (when looking at dead animals in TOMI)

    There are probably more.

    That one made me laugh so much for whatever reason.:D

    I don't know about underrated, but my favourite lines are:

    Voodo Lady: "LIKE A VOLCANO!"

    and

    Guybrush: That's the mast. [stupid grin]

    STILL, the dialogue in a Telltale game that has made me laugh the most ever is:
    Sybil: You don't know the half of it. It seems like all the guys I meet are total losers. No offense.
    Sam: None taken. Hey!
    Sybil: Or else they're borderline psychopaths. No offense.
    Max: None taken. It's the borderline cases you have to watch out for!

    Edit: Oh, I didn't get that part about the entire MI series. Well, "LIKE A VOLCANO!" is still my favourite line ever.

    I know it's just a simple pun, but I love it!

    Guybrush: "How does he smell without a nose?"
    Bait Shoppe Owner: "Terrible."

    ...or did he say "awful"?

    Most underrated line ever, COMI:

    Lemonhead: "You fool! You've given cheese to a lactose intolerant volcano god! Do you know what that means? You've brought about the Coming of the Divine Dysentry! Run for your lives!"

    My all-time favorite MI line is from LeChuck's Revenge, when you look at the Gorilla Envelope and it says the gorilla was "arrested for grinding his organ in public."

    There's a good joke in there about putting lipstick on the cannonball. Haha, that one still makes me laugh.

    Guybrush Threepwood: That pig-shaped bush frightens and confuses me.

    EMI, though my least favorite, I like that line.

    I kind of like the line back in MI 1 where Guybrush insults Meathook about his head. And I can't remember the exact words...

    "What's your name, cannonballhead?"
    "I'm Meathook, and I think you've got a little attitude problem!"
    "Well, I think you've got a little hair problem."
    "Gee, you just don't know when to quit, do you?"
    "Obviously, neither did your barber."
