** One of the very last lines of the game references one of the very first lines of the first game. In ''Secret'', the lookout on Mêlée expresses incredulity that Guybrush wants to be a pirate, saying he looks more like a flooring inspector. [[spoiler: In the final amusement park scene in ''Return'', Guybrush remarks that it's probably time to leave the park and go back to his life as a flooring inspector.]] This profession also gets referenced in ''Curse'' with Guybrush claiming to be one to fend off the advances of a ghost attracted to pirates.

** Interestingly, each item on that list actually comes with context that softens the sociopathy. [[spoiler:Guybrush couldn't actually have done anything for Herman because of how he arrived in the cave; he uses the poster for its intended purpose of raising awareness about how limes fight scurvy; Stan actually did commit all the malfeasance Guybrush accuses him of; the museum got everything wrong about its own exhibits; and the Queen of Brrr Muda, by her own admission, spent most of her time fending off challenges to her crown anyway.]] Of course, none of these things had anything to do with Guybrush's motivations, but they're still worth noting.

* EasilyForgiven: Elaine learns about all the problems Guybrush created in his quest for the Secret, from destroying an endangered keystone species to overthrowing an entire government. Despite all this, her WhatTheHellHero moment is surprisingly muted, with her mainly using all Guybrush's crimes as evidence that continuing to seek the Secret may not be good for him.
** A JustifiedTrope at this point in the series. After knowing Guybrush for six games, and being married to him for three, Elaine surely knows all about his tendency to cause massive catastrophes in order to remove minor inconveniences. If she hasn't divorced him by now, she must be at peace with it.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: Guybrush has flirted with this status from the moment he first ruined one of Stan's businesses, but this game pushes it into overdrive. In one act alone, he [[spoiler:steals Herman's property and leaves him trapped in a cave, steals an irreplaceable poster from his own wife, threatens Stan with 10 years in a gulag, burgles priceless items from a small local museum, and '''topples an entire government'' because he needed a piece of its crown.]] Remember that every bit of this, and more, is all because Guybrush wants to relive his glory days. It's all PlayedForLaughs, of course.

* NoEnding: While the game certainly has an ending, if you finish the story with Boybrush, Elaine mentions [[spoiler: finding a new treasure map]], and Guybrush agrees to go looking for it with her. The camera then lingers on Guybrush, without sound, as he sits on the bench. After about a minute, it cuts and the credits roll.

* GuideDangIt: Even though the game's puzzles all have their solutions in the ingame hint book, some of the game's secret achievements are super specific. Contender for the worst is Free Wally, where you have to get a lock's serial number for an optional puzzle in the final act ''in the second act'', '''before you finish the second act'''. AND the lock you have to check does ''not'' show up as an item you can interact with when holding down the "Show all items" button (TAB on PC). There is ''nothing'' that indicates this is a possibility.
