quote [ Ron: This is like the greatest scene ever. It's like the pinnacle of humour. It's an un-toppable moment. Tim: But did he pull his belt off in order to dig? ]
Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer. Two legends of computer game design, but there is one question they cannot, will not ever agree on. Is Guybrush Threepwood's trousers falling down funny?
Tim: I didn't think that was funny. You thought it was the best thing in the whole game.
Ron: I did. And I still do. I actually use this as an example sometimes. Tim: Of something you used to think was funny, and now realise is not funny? Ron: No, it's like the pinnacle of humour. It's an un-toppable moment. Tim: But, what, did he pull his belt off in order to dig? Why does that happen Ron? Now tell us. Dave: It's because the game requires different levels of humour. You've got your sophisticated... Tim: But why does his pants fall down? Does he use his belt to dig? Ron: See, the problem is you're trying to justify it too much. It's just funny. Just role with it. Dave: It's fantasy. Ron: It's just a stupid computer game Tim. SE - what do you think?

Personally, I think Guybrush trousers falling down for no reason is not just the funniest bit in Monkey Island 2, but is the funniest thing in the history of humanity. With the possible exception of that time I accidentally squirted moisturiser on my girlfriend in a pharmacist.
The Guybrush scene is funny because (not in spite of) it is such a ridiculous non sequitur.

I just spent three hours making a GIF.

I am on Tim Schafer's side a little bit later though - Captain Dread is a great name for a Rastafarian pirate.
