They're overally similar, but these small segments feel significant because it was the only new thing about the cutscenes. They added scenes that are goofy. I don't think they added any scenes that aren't goofy.

They did. They took out that goofy scene of Abe hitting his head Looney tunes style and replaced it with the Scrab conveyor belt scene. Abe's reaction I can get behind. But Abe tripping over seems totally in line with Oddworld - even the tone of the original (which had slapstick humour and farting).
Honestly, I think people overblow how goofy NnT is though. Humourous idle chatter and ragdolls are about it.
The glossy and bright look of the game, the lack of tension, the lack of punch to character deaths contribute to a change in atmosphere. But as far as goofy humour there isn't really all that much added. You could tone it down in game - repetition of idle chatter is grating. But it's not like we saw the second coming of MO.
