I believe the reason for the similarities is that both Monkey Island & the Disneyland ride (and now film) 'Pirates of the Carribean' were based on/influenced by the same book. Hence the familiar plot.
Monkey Island was actually based on the Disney ride itself.

I just had to quote you to see what the sthingys referred too, but it referred to the much discussed piece of tableware.
In the beginning there's a lot of humor about the difference between America-France-(and to my surprise) Belgium. Play the first scene in the cafe, and you'll know what I mean.
