Even after all these years this game remains one of my favorites. It’s dry, deliciously insane, reference filled humor just cracks me up. Take for example this intro vid: the wishing scene :)) the polite rejection of a romantic affair :))))))) (all the great lines from "i’m washing my hair" to "(you’re an evil, foul smelling codependant villain, and that’s just not what i’m looking for in a romantic relationship, right now"). Brilliant. Awesomely enough the game is full of handdrawn animations (you have to try obsessively clicking the "enable 3d" button :)) ). Many brilliant scenes, the return of Lemmon head, a delightful "dying" scene making fun of the non-death principle of olden adventure games… goood stuffs. Though the opening cinematic of Monkey Island 4 is also very funny they lost me a bit with the 3d work so i had to post this one. Don’t be afraid to use a walkthrough! Just experiencing this great story & jokes are totally worth it :))

PS: oh, and how ever could i forget the evil talking head’s futilre empty demonic threats: it’s so hard to forget his "Bhahahahhahaaha" :))
