GuybrushTM Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 If you really think about it--MI1 isn't funny, now before you all start yelling and typing at me for my insolence and stupidity--go back and PLAY it!! It isn't funny. Maybe it WAS funny, but now? NO! NOT FUNNY AT ALL! I mean they had to tell a lot of the story... Monkey Island 2--you could tell they really did it for fun...hee hee--um..... Monkey Island 3--short, easy, the most humorous so far. Monkey Island 4--long, hard, hilarious beyond hilarious, seriously, if your talking funny, Monkey Island 4 is the best... So for me, in order from least funny, to most funny, it goes 1.MI1 2.MI2 3.MI3 4.MI4 If you disagree (or agree) tell me what YOU think!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior™ Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. SMI was and still is amazingly funny. I honestly don't understand you. The jokes in SMI are just classic. They have their very own style which I'm totally in love with. CMI and EMI are funny as well....but personally I think the humour has changed over the years. The jokes of the last two Monkey Island games offer a whole lot of flat and rather simple moments which, on paper, sounds really promising. But it just doesn't turn out that well in the end. Anyway, my order from least funny to most funny: 1. EMI 2. CMI 3. SMI 4. LCR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathookly Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 1.MI1 2.MI4 3.MI3 4.MI2 That's how I'd put it. I still think all of them are really very funny. I just think MI1 is the less funny of them, but I still think it is really funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidegger Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Humour: (funniest to least funny) 1/Monkey Island 3 - Generally had so much charecter, good jokes and good voice acting. Plus its more modern, which helps. 2/Monkey Island 1 - I've got to disagree with you, because i found this really funny. Mainly with a lot of the alternative things you could say to people, and the little jokes. 3/Monkey Island 2 - nearly as funny as one, but seemed to sacrifice a little bit of humour (not a lot, mind. ) for story. 4/Monkey Island 4 - Made me laugh in places, but there were too many jokes that were repeated that just stopped being funny, such as the "wow thats the second biggest <insert random object here> I've ever seen" Joke.

GuybrushTM Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hmmmm...... perhaps I was wrong, just a little, but still, SOMI just isn't THAT funny. I mean, maybe I played it too many times and they(the jokes) aren't fresh anymore, but to say it is "amazingly funny..." mmmmmmm no. I will admit that MI4's "That's the second biggest __________I've ever seen," got old, fast. And I would also say that MI2 is probably the 1st or 2nd most humorous, I mean it had more pop culture in there then a human can take, heh heh. But I am still sticking behind MI1 being the least funny. Junior--when's the last time you played it?? It isn't THAT FUNNY!! But, hey, no hard feelings. Anyway, if I had to revise this I would make it from least funny to most funny-- 1.SOMI 2.3.4 (tied) COMI,SOMI, EFMI hmmmm....can I do that?^ "To each, his own."

Heidegger Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Well to be honest, i agree with you to a certain extent about SOMI. I played it through again the other day, and i didnt find it as funny. But, the thing with that is ive played it so much, It was only this time last year that i showed it to my friends and played through the whole thing about 4 times through with 4 different people, and still found it really funny.

GuybrushTM Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Yeah.....but play it about 5,000,000,000 and THEN tell me how funny it is, hee hee. Hey! It is still hilarious, and a GREAT GAME. And it is a close 1st, like all the rest. But it isn't AS funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuybrushTM Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Yeah......opinions are great, aren't they?...... er...anyway, Junior, I BEG OF YOU!! PLAY IT AGAIN, AND REALLY THINK ABOUT HUMOR!! I just played it a few weeks ago. I was greatly dissappointed!! I know it is all opinions! But I think if you play again you will agree...And, um, you know my name isn't Jim....(just a little F.Y.I. between two buds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior™ Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I think I replayed it often enough to say that I prefer the original MI humour to the one of the newer games. I didn't say that I dislike CMI and EMI though, it's just that I like the older games better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuybrushTM Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Are you sure? Are you positive? Are you without a doubt that if you still played it, it would still be funny. Or maybe your afraid to find out!! ......or not..... If your not going to play it again, then AT LEAST tell me 5 things that make it so much funnier than the rest.....please. hee hee:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior™ Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Five things, huh? Do you expect me to list up five jokes I really enjoyed? That's stupid, you've got to judge a game as a whole because each of the games definitely has its moments. In general I believe that what makes SMI so unique is the fact that everything appeared for the first time. For example the insult swordfighting, the first appearance of Stan, the way LeChuck is introduced and presented etc. Sure, all the other games had that as well but it was more or less copied there.

GuybrushTM Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Buddy....pal.....friend.....Junior....look at the name of this thread....it is title something like " Which is the Funniest." FUNNIEST!! Not which is all around the better game as a whole. If we talk which games are the best all around--I'd probably agree with you... But what I asked you to do isn't dumb... what's dumb is that you CAN'T DO IT!! Becase it is a great game, BUT IT ISN'T A FUNNY GAME!! I PLAYED THEM ALL IN ORDER!! I PLAYED THEM ALL WHEN THEY CAME OUT!! AND IT ISN'T FUNNY!! whooooooooo:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubrianne_c Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I dunno. I've played them all so many times that I can recite along, and now I don't even bother to laugh anymore. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't play MI games for a while so I can actually find these things funny when I play again, and then I wake up and whip myself over the head with a bamboo cane.
