Such brilliantly written games. So many examples of witty lines. This one is obvious because it's easy to remember, but mine is:

Guybrush: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Carpenter: A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can't chuck wood.
Guybrush: But if a woodchuck could chuck and would chuck some amount of wood, what amount of wood would a woodchuck chuck?
Carpenter: Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?
Guybrush: A woodchuck should chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long as a woodchuck would chuck wood.
Carpenter: Oh shut up.

"Look behind you, a three headed monkey" still, to this day, makes me laugh out loud. It's probably the most obvious quote to pull but whatever, it's just a brilliant scene

Cheating but the whole thing is just brilliant:

Bob the Ghost Pirate:
Captain LeChuck... sir... I...

LeChuck:
Ah... There's nothin' like the hot winds of hell blowin' in your face.

Bob the Ghost Pirate:
No sir... Nothing like it... Ah... Sir... I...

LeChuck:
It's days like this that make ye glad to be dead.

Bob the Ghost Pirate:
Oh, yes sir... glad to be dead...

LeChuck:
Ye are glad to be dead, RIGHT?

Bob the Ghost Pirate:
Oh yes sir. I feel so lucky that you happened to capture my ship, then murder me and everyone on board... yes sir... lucky.

LeChuck:
Glad to hear it.

Wait, you played the previous but not that one ? You're in for a treat !
What i would give to play that one fresh :)

I cannot give you mine then, they are Murray's property, i cannot weaken their effect.

edit: don't read what appears with a skull below ... you need to go fresh fresh fresh !

Murray the Talking Demonic Skull: "I will stride through the gates of hell with your head on a pike!"

Guybrush: "Stride?"

Murray: "ok then, roll! Roll through the gates of hell!"

Edit: dang it.

I don't know why. 1 and 2 were classics that were readily available to play on ScummVM and that one just seemed to pass my attention--maybe the art style contributed?

"I am rubber you are glue, whatever you say, bounces of me & goes back to you." but only for the hilarious Italian translation in which they translated literally every single word, making the expression basically non sensical.

Fourth game has a lots of funny moments too:

Guybrush: (Looking at the lamp) What a weird lamp
Elaine: I love that lamp, Guybrush
Guybrush: I mean, weird in a good way.
Guybrush, looking again, whispering: It IS a weird lamp.

Try to jump off the cliff:
Goodbye cruel adventure game! Nah, maybe later.

Looking at the portrait of a naked fat lady at the bar:
Human body is a beautiful thing. Mostly. Ugh.

Uh... there was also that tree stump in the forest, and when you used it it said insert disk 500 or something in the Amiga version. Lol

The only one you dont need to play is Escape from Monkey Island lol, Tales and Curse arent the same quality of the original and Lechuck Revenge but are pretty good.

There are waaaaay too many to list.
"mm, no"
"Is that a good AIEEEEEE?!"
"The Goodsoup family diamond. LeChuck stole it, you bought it, I want
it. Now."
"That's funny, I don't remember Grandfather Lambert as looking so...
mmm, so ...common."
Guybrush: "Your evil plan will never work, André!"
André: "But it is flawless! A carefully-placed series of charges laid
throughout Blood Island... ...all controlled by a network of satellites in a
geosynchronous orbit... ...and only one man has access to the master switch."

I love the Monkey Island games soo much. Though Curse is the most quotable for me.

"Re-elect Governor Marley: When there's only one candidate, there's only one choice!"

It was at this moment when I realized that this game was going to be special.

The German translation is top notch as well btw. Played The Curse of Monkey Island again a couple of months ago and had a great time.
