I'm not really sure if this was meant as a reference to the movie, but at the beginning, Elaine tells LeChuck "I'm just not that into you".
It made me think of the movie He's Just Not That Into You

I believe she says that in the intro of CMI also
And as for the ultimate insult being on the sword. I can quite clearly see it as the handle so I'm not sure why you lot can't XD
In Monkey 3 Guybrush says to Murray: "You'd look great with a melting candle sticking out of your head", then in this game in the voodoo lady's cabin he spots the skull with the candle and says "Murray??"
Didn't anyone see the reference to guy.brush? (the character's filename was named that when they made the 1st game). And wasn't there a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle in TMI as well?
I noticed in the beginning scene Guybrush drawing everyone's attention to his wedding ring. Reference to the speculation that he isn't married due to him having no wedding ring in early screenshots? Anyway made me smile
Ummm...guys? I'm seriously wondering if nobody noticed this!
Smiling Stan's Bombs? Ring a bell? It really made me laugh!
I can picture him right now:
"Howdy, Son! Welcome to Smilin' Stan's new Store! We've got an offer today. It's DA BOMB!"
When Guybrush taunts the Marquis about opening the gate and says he's going back there now......and then walks away muttering about how he needs to find a diamond, (something else that I forget), and a rudimentary lathe........
"I know! You construct a weapon. Look around, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?"
May not be a reference, but it sure seems like the Voodoo Lady and Coronado (I think that's his name) relationship is similar to how Calypso and Davy Jones' relationship was in POTC. At least that might be revealed in a future episode.
I doubt this is an actual reference, but when the Marquis was talking about amputating Guybrush's hand, he asked if that was a bit rash. That part immediately made me think of the scene in Curse when Rottingham gets his hair "amputated" and Guybrush tells them not to be rash.
Look right above the diamond ring. The part that Guybrus is holding is part of the Ultimate Insult.
Ahh, yes.. I see it now. Thanks!
Also, the machine with all the buttons in the Voodoo Lady's shack. It's been a while since I played EfMI but isn't that the prosthetics machine? I was a little disappointed it didn't actually do anything but maybe that's for a later episode, like that chest?

The other items were dynamite and a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle...

I think that this machine is the one you use in the theater of CMI to find Elaine.
i remember a reference to Davy Jones (Pirates of the caribbean, halfoctopus-animatedbeard-clearlysimilartolechuck bad guy) in one comment.. but i dont remember where...
After a few people mentioning this I went and took a look at the sword in-game, and I seem to be able to place all the ingredients except for the ultimate insult. Well, more specifically, the silver monkey head, the other pieces are there. Anyone care to look into it?
Maybe the sword has the ultimate insult power running through it and is not a piece of the sword but some of its power.:D
All I can think of is:
Morgan Le Fley
U-Tube
Marquis de Singe
Joaquin D'Oro being called Dora the Explorer
And your little hand too
Rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle... wait... that was the Monkey Island: SE gameplay movie
Did no one see that after wrongly guessing the password for the shack a few times, Guybrush asks if he knows the person who he is talking to. The voice is done by the fella who did Pegnose Pete who had a shack in the Myst'O'Tyme in Escape from Monkey Island. (i could be wrong, but it sure sounded like him and that whole shack from the outside reminded me of it)
Stan's reference was awesome to say the least.
The machine is from curse of monkey island in the voodoo shack, I was hoping a scroll would pop out >_<.

I saw that. After knowing the
voodoo lady was in the shack
I thought it was her trying to make her voice sound masculine

Well it's definitely not the prosthetics machine but that was the first thing that popped into my mind when playing... Do you mean the lighting machine in the theatre on Plunder Island? It's more similar to that but it's not the same.
I guess it's not a reference after all but something we'll get to use in a later episode.

The bottom half
Upside down!
I thought "Bosko" when I saw it, as it's one of Bosko's freezers from Sam & Max.
As in 1138.
As in THX 1138.
I forgot what Guybrush said, but I think that's what the gist of what he said when you examine the pillars by the docks the second time.
Is that the LeChuck puppet from MI4 on there too?
Possibly, but it is meant to be a voodoo doll to look like LeChuck. He may have used that puppet to make the voodoo doll but did that thing have legs?
I don't know... Doesn't it look more like a diamond ring? There was a "midas diamond" in the recipe wasn't there?
Look right above the diamond ring. The part that Guybrus is holding is part of the Ultimate Insult.

(bad German for "the winds of Flotsam suck")
Pretty sure this is a riff on Stanford's motto, "Die Luft der Freiheit weht" ("the winds of freedom blow"). It's a pretty weird motto for an American university.
Mike Stemmle is a Stanford grad, used to write routines for the Band.
There's a whole thread with German speakers picking this apart (e.g. "luft" means "air" not "wind").
Ahh, yes.. I see it now. Thanks!

Yeah, thats what I thought. I can see the voodoo doll, the 'gold man' and the 'bronze hat' from the Ultimate insult, but not the 'silver monkey head'?
I love how the sword is made up of all the stuff that killed Lechuck in the last 4 games =D
I believe the silver head may have been melted to forge the blade of the Cutlass.
I'm pretty sure 30(or so) oz of silver was listed. I need to get a pic of this list.

I was thrilled that they referenced this, because it always intrigued me.

He had a beard in Monkey Island 2. That statement above might be incorrect.
Is that a reference to something? I can't quite remember needing a lathe in any Monkey Island games...
