I think that mostly has to do with the first impression we all have of Oddworld. The original intro is all business. Very grim, very dark, not a single ounce of humor to be found anywhere and that trend continues pretty much until you get to the stockyards. One moment of comedy and then it's almost the rest of the game without humor.
Exoddus had a little more humor in it, but not a whole lot. It had more focus on the silly LED messages and announcements. The characters were always serious. It wasn't until MO that suddenly everything and everyone seemed to have jumped straight out of a comic book, including the sligs and the Glukkons.

That is quite an underestimation.
Abe hitting his head comically, Abe falling down the cliff comically, Abe getting the hand scars comically. The Mudokons in general are ridiculous. I mean the very last shot of the game is Abe farting. There's even a fart command.
And in Exoddus almost ALL the characters were humourous. Abe continues to be goofy, the Newcaster is having a lot of fun, all the Slig and Glukkon characters were very funny, I mean the cutscenes are full of humour.
Munch got it wrong in that it took that humour to very cartoonish levels. The atmosphere was also lot more silly than the previous two.
What I've been seeing from New n Tasty is pretty much that same level of Dark Atmosphere/Goofy Humour as Abe's Exoddus. And I only say that because the Sligs represent the more comical Sligs with actual personalities from that game.
