you convinced me to go play it (VGA mode). So far it’s indeed funny and not too obtuse. Thanks!

Kind of unusual, really.

The problem was that they messed up the delivery of the lines i.e. it was a programming error rather than a bad recording. The best version of Monkey Island 1 is therefore the Ultimate Talkie edition you can make in ScummVM using the music and lines from the remake. See http://www.gratissaugen.de/ultimatetalkies/.
