Remember the scene at Marquise De Singe with the monkey when Guybrush asked something like "Are you hungry? Do you need a bath?" and the monkey slaps its head, is a reference to the beginning of EMI when Timmy's trying to explain, what's happening with the Mayor's Mansion. Because Guybrush remembers such kind of scene before and this is the only scene I remember a monkey trying to explain something to Guybrush.
"We'll have to amputate." - Haggis
"Let's not be too rash!" - Rottingham
In the barbershop after 'sabotaging' the hairbrush with lice and causing the Captain to lose his beloved hair, expect it aplies with the Marquis and Guybush's hand.
I know several people have mentioned the 'U-Tube', but did anyone notice when you use the 'U-Tube' with different characters Guybrush says something along the lines of "I don't think they'll appreciate my U-Tube offerings'.
Anyway, I found that funny.
The Marquis de Singe was exiled to Flotsam on account of doing crossbreeding experiments on the Queen's prized poodles. This could be a reference/origin to LeChuk's own prized piranha poodles.
Oh yes, the Voodoo Lady also had a vision about 'the skull'.
...which could be a reference to the greatest RPG ever, but there are more likely options.
Are you talking about Morte by any chance? Or some other rpg heh.
Iimmediately through Murry though. YAY!
Is that a reference to something? I can't quite remember needing a lathe in any Monkey Island games...
the lathe joke was a reference to Galaxy Quest. it was also a major running gag over at the Rifftrax forums for a year or so, so that is what i originally thought of. I wonder if any of the writers hang out over there.
Come to think of it, where did Guybrush get that ring for the cutlass? There were supposed to be only two in existence, one of them is on Elaine's finger, and the other vanished when he took it off.
I can't belive that any one spotted the refererence at the end puzzle. Guybrush trapped a zombie hand with tar... Kinda like Sam and Max did with Jessie James' zombie hand.

Whoa... you might be on to something here - I totally had forgotten about that even though I replayed both seasons of Sam & Max not long ago.
"The doctor is in" sign on de Singe's house:
In Hellraiser 2: Hellbound insane demon doctor Chennard says that when he enters a hospital:
(*warning* there is a lot of really nasty gore here) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUK73vimRNY&feature=related (*warning* there is a lot of really nasty gore here)
Next thing he says is... "I recommend amputation!"
(maybe demonic origins of that quote is a clue about progression of de Singe character in future episodes?)
Another Indy reference I noticed when Singe shoots you (for the 2nd time I believe):
"You are meddling with powers you cannot possibly comprehend".
(from the Last Crusade when Marcus Brody talks to Colonel Vogel)
I'm honestly surprised there weren't a few jokes around "rub my unicorn" considering the glassblower on Flotsom Island is trying to sell some very familiar unicorns (Sam & Max - Season 1).
I just got round to playing it. The rub my unicorn jokes where some of the funniest things I seen in a game. I think the entire glass unicorn thing was some kind of reference to them.

He BLOWS unicorns.
i dont think anywhere in the game did it out right say that "he blows unicorns" it is implied but those words arent in the game.
Erm... actually I believe it was a reference to The Wizard of Oz... the Wicked Witch of the West says, "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!"

The combo of education + jacket + fedora ( a type of hat) = Indy Jones
To what? Wallace & Gromit? Tin Tin?
I didn't even think of the hand in the tar thing, and I just did that puzzle in Sam & Max yesterday. Interesting!
Guybrush's gestures when he rolled the cheese on the carvings made me laugh really hard.
scooby doo

There is a LOST reference in S&M. I expect there will be one in Tales somewhere...
