Default Chapter 4: Favorite One-liners and Jokes (spoilers)

With all the talk about the more serious moments, perhaps a nod toward our favorite jokes is in order.

I have three that I found particularly funny:

1. "I thought there would be three!" - Random pirate reacting to the number of charges. Great self-parody. (Telltale tends to do things in threes. Three acts, three puzzles per act, etc. Rarely do they deviate.)

2. The lion's paw in the plant's thorns. This game must take place in Soviet Russia.

3. Guybrush putting himself on the stand. "Threeeeeep..." "Seeeeep..." I was in hysterics.

Honorable mention to the harmonized insult with LeChuck devolving into giggles. At that moment, I was really hoping that LeChuck was on the up-and-up.

Guybrush constantly doing the double-act with himself was hilarious, both in the courtroom and inside his jail cell.

Elaine's intro made me break down, first with calling Guybrush a 'bonnie lass' and while I was distracted from laughing, something about her captain's quarters and ravishing. Plus with her like molesting a terrified GB. The double-triple innuendo! The involuntary mental image of GB in a dress! The constant reference to who gets whose pants afterwards! Dear gawd chapter 4 is randy!

Okay, Guybrush Q. Threepwood. Suddenly I would very much like to play the exploits of this mysterious but equally intriguing pirate who apparently, unlike GB, sings karaoke very well! Maybe he has a mullet instead...

The reference to every adventure game in history's tendency to do things in threes was great. Aside from that, the lines that have already entered my personal quote lexicon are "That's so preposterous, it's practically postposterous!" and "THE DEFENDANT WILL STOP PRETENDING HE KNOWS HOW TO SPEAK LATIN!"

I loved when he whistled the Strong Bad style song while in the bathroom, though I only caught wind of what he was whistling the second time I heard it.

One of the most epic lines dating back from episode 1:

Unholy THIS!

Not a joke, or a one liner...but...

I loved the Arnold Schwarzenegger voice coming out of the Guybrush doll...so unexpected.
I also loved De Singe sing "Alouette, I will live forever"..made me LOL...literally.

All of these great moments, but my personal favourite was the judge saying "Don't be so formal in here, lad." Great use of the repetitive character models. I hadn't even suspected it was him, and that it was, and that it makes sense....hehe.

Loads of great moments in this chapter, really. I had one I wanted to mention right now...but I've forgotten what it was.

I cracked up when you ask the glass dude about seeing Elaine and he then describes her down to the mole on her left thigh and then says "no".

When you use the monkey on the ironed up cat while the wrong witness is sitting Guybrush will say something like;
"I have learned not to whip out my monkey until the most dramatic moment"
I almost chocked on my dinner....

"Where did you get all this gold."
"What gold?"
"The one that's in your chest."

1. actually videogames in general use the three rule... every kid new playing their 8bit nintendo that you could beat the boss with three hits.

2 Yeah it was totally a reverse on the old lesson story of the grumpy tiger with a thorn in its paw.... the mouse pulls it out and proves small people can do mighty things too.

3 me too I loved all the GT talking to himself scenes.

But it's never been as blatantly obvious as it is in Telltale's games. (Not that that's a bad thing, just something that's been repeatedly noted on these forums)
