Funniest joke/scene in the MI series *spoilers*
What do you think was the funniest joke or scene in the entire series?
Obviously this thread is going to contain spoilers, so only read below if you've completed all the games! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I think the funniest scene was in LeChuck's Revenge when Guybrush attaches the banana to the metronome to hypnotize JoJo. I literally laughed for a couple minutes when JoJo freezes, staring at the banana. I still LOL just thinking about it, rofl.

And pushes the winch operator off the cliff lol
So stupid and simple...(just like me at the time i played this i guess).
Near the start of Lechuck's Revenge, where Guybrush is gravedigging. It builds up suspense with creepy music, and for a moment it even switches to Largo, who shivers and says something like 'It feels like someone is walking on my grave!', then back to Guybrush, lightning strikes, highlighting his silhouette against the night sky. He thrusts his bounty aloft, epic music rolling in the background, and then... down go his trousers.
It was just a brilliant moment because I didn't see it coming, at all. And for such an old game, it was a surprisingly cinematic scene, and thus very impressive.
Edit: The memories come flooding back; tearing the pages out of that book, the manilla envelope, vandalising that wanted poster, taking well deserved jabs at that chubby Governer, telling Wally that Cap'n Dread stole his monocle... all golden. Gah, this is making me want to play MI 2... again.
Yeah, probably not the best, but even today I can't look at anything pink and not think of Guybrush.
"IMPORTANT NOTICE: These dogs are not dead, they are only SLEEPING. No animals were harmed during the production of this game. "
Murray: I’d terrorize the South Seas! I’d torture the living! I’d demolish the… er… What I meant to say was, I’d use it to pet kittens.
Guybrush: Nope. You blew it.
Murray: Drat.
Gotta love Murray, hope he returns.
But yeah like others have said, there's simply too many good ones to single one out.

the entire concept, just so frickin brilliant.
i also love when the really nasty tough pirates break character with guybrush over some small thing and actually show a momentary sensible side. love that. i can't think of a specific line right now, but there are a bunch.
bless you.
Rhyming insult sword fighting is still the best.
Darn those tricky rubber trees.
Holy crap. I've played through CMI a dozen times and am certain I've never seen this. I'm going to have to load it up and find a good walk-though.
Makes the Voodoo Lady's prophecy, "You will die," even more prophetic.
It's not in CMI, it's in SMI.
np: Sin Fang Bous - We Belong (Clangour)
Oh, and Wally. I take away his monocle first chance I get, just to leave him blinded for as long as possible
All those references to grog and gags about how strong it is, eating up mugs and metal
Spitting contest
All those "trademarked" items they made. Like the Sam n Max totems in SoMI at the giant monkey head. Well I think that was trademarked as well.
Murray and Stan. Also Guybrush asking Murray if he can call him Bob
By the way, anyone noticed the kind of continuety fail they made in MI4 with the hermit on Monkey Island? In SoMI there is a diary about how Herman Toothrot got to Monkey Island with his friend, but in MI4 Herman Toothrot had another story about getting to Monkey Island.
Still not that bad since its the only story line problem I have found, and I did like the idea in Monkey 4 even if it didnt add up that diary.
Also, Bob had a loose head.
My bad everybody. I was thinking "Secret of Monkey Island", but I still hit C. I'm still getting used to using acronyms to distinguish between the games.
It's on the Secret of Monkey Island and it's hilarious.
"You're a bunch of foul smelling, grog swilling pigs!"
"To be a pirate ye must also be a foul-smelling, grog-swilling pig."
Or...
Trying to hold your breath for over 10 minutes. (MI1)
Or...
The bone dance. (MI2)
Or...
Insult swordfighting (not the rhyming version).(MI1)
Or...
Pretty much every other scene in either of the first two games (and most of them in the third).
Oh yeah, and how appropriate. You fight like a cow.
And the Death in CoMI with the fake credits.
And dont forget the death in MI2, in LeChucks torture chambers. The lines between Guybrush and Elaine afterwards are really wonderfull.
"Oh, so your parents were expecting a girl."
"Aye."
