I think I know what Sodd meant by "Potty Humour", although that isn't the term I would use for it ["Bad Humour" suits it more]. I think he's referring to the tacky jokes that permeated AE. Examples:
The end of the poem in the intro FMV - "Mudokon Nation be doomed to croak" - After the fantastic rhyming in the AO FMVs, I expected better than this cheap attempt at humour
When the weirdos came to Abe the second time - Abe: "Guys, Weirdos, Whoever you are!" - Ugh... Just ugh...
Hmm... I can't remember any more offhand, but I may as well throw in "Abe's New Voice" - Not exactly meant to be funny, but an example of the new, sanitised, 'user-friendly' Oddworld.
Eek, I sound very OW-phobic... Sorry about that, it's just that once I start a rant, I find it difficult to stop...
