I for one loved Abe's voice in AO much more than his goofy disturbingly upbeat voice in AE. It just helped tune in more of the oddness of the games. So yes, in a way, I loved AO's good humor, like in the intro when the Glukkons are doing their "MUAHAHA" thing, they all begin coughing because of their cigar smoke. But then there were parts like when Abe banged his head off the pipe which ruined all of the moment for me.
So seeing how the industrial lover I am of the games, AE impressed me the most, mainly for its music and imagery. It was borderline obnoxious (IMO) and didn't have the dark real world refernces like you did in AO, but they pulled it off with offering a nice rush of the industrial culture.
