Even if I agreed with the last part of that statement (which I might consider if you broke into my house and held a gun to my head, but otherwise no dice) you are seriously slighting Tim Schafer, who wrote almost
all the dialogue in MI1 and MI2. In fact, he and Dave Grossman were the ones who convinced Ron Gilbert that Monkey Island should be a comedy in the first place.
Ron, who had been influenced by reading the much darker-in-tone pirates/voodoo/magic novel
On Stranger Tides (which I heartily recommend, by the way) initially thought about making a more serious game, until Schafer started writing gut-bursting dialogue. In fact, Ron toyed with the idea of making the swordfighting sequence an out-and-out action puzzle, until his co-writers found a way to make it less actiony and far more humorous.
