The game that brings together - skeletons, Mexicans and film noir - simply can't be bad
As you mentioned, the grim has a different sort of humor to it (I for example didn't care for Sam & Max and DOTT).
Grim has more style it doesn't go running around and waving its hand saying: "Look at me! Look at me! I'm telling a joke! Look I'm doing something stupid, it's SO funny!" (Ok, Sam & Max and DOTT were more subtle, but I still got that feel from time to time, but newer "comedy" games like Jack Keane and So Blonde - NOT FUNNY)
