I thought it was funny. I didn't think of it as out of character, so much as the character is consciously making a joke, and thus saying something strange and humorous on purpose. That's how I read it anyway.

Exactly. It's like Guybrush saying, "Right On. Dude."
It was the chavvy hand gesture which did it for me. :P As you can see from my avatar. The funniest line for me was probably when you read the "Meesta Pizza" sign...as you can see from my signature.

The name keeps changing. If you're facing Momma Bosco, it's of the left side of the room, on the end closest to the mole tunnel.
It's totally out of place. He sounds like a hipster. That's why it's funny
But still rather purposeful with the gesture and all.
I thought it was him channeling his past super-geeky self for what it's worth.
Also, SCIENCE!

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Max: Weren't we supposed to be looking for clues, or something?
