I'm not lying though. One of my favorite songs of all times is composed by Suzuki and lyrics written by Itoi. I had to play the games these 2 guys did, had to. Ended up liking it more than expecing. I wasn even't aware of the hype of the series, other than remembering japanese people getting excited for Mother 1+2 and Mother 3 releases.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I think the reason Mother 1 seems more "serious" and Earthbound more "WACKY" is because of the different translations (I haven't played tomato's translation for M1 though).
All in all I think both of them have their share of funny, weird humor balanced with the disturbing and unsettling, it's Itoi who was behind them both, after all.

Anyway, Mother 1 is really tame compared to other 8bit RPGs. People who complain about the random encounters or "grinding" have probably never played any 8bit RPG before, not just in Famicom but in general.
