5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest Game Ever Made, August 30, 2007

This game is by far the funniest game I have ever played. Something about the voice acting, the writing, and the game's style all combine to make this the most amusing game I've ever seen. There's also an appeal in the 1995 graphics that can't be reproduced by modern games that makes this game worth what ever means it took to obtain a copy. I would also challenge any one to find a game with a sillier plot than this game. Something about riding a large plastic fish in a river so that a fisherman can catch you so that you can be transported by helicopter to the restaurant on top of the world's largest ball of twine so that you can obtain a mood ring with an extendo-claw to give to a mole man living in a ride at an amusement park can tell you his secrets about sasquautches is instantly appealing to me (and that's just a tiny part of this adventure game's story). If it is to you, get this game.

I'll keep this review short, since others have covered most things.
It's a classic adventure game, plain and simple.
It's based off of a short lived comic series by Steve Purcell.
My main point is, you have to likes it's quirky, gratuitous, random, and occasionally cheap humor. If you've played Sam and Max Season 1 first(I haven't all the way through, I played through Episode 1 at a relatives), you may not be as pleased with this. Season 1 had a much more planned style, and a very operatic nature.
This game on the other hand is one the wall, random and very unpredictable.
You'll be looking at something and will get a very well written one liner, that may or may not make you laugh.
It all depends on what you find humorous.

I would recommend it to people who enjoy random, quirky and sometimes cheap humor, but if you liked more planned and somewhat more predictable comedy, then this may not be your cup of tea.

For me, this has got the be one of my favorite games I've ever played, the humor really fits my odd taste. I usually don't laugh out loud when I see something genuinely funny, it's just not my nature. I watched Wall-E with a straight face the entire move despite finding it funny, while my friend next to me laughing his head off;Though this game, I found to be an absolute gas!

As I said, think of what you find funny before buying it though, I know some who can't stand things with humor like this game(cheap pop culture references, breaking the fourth wall, random and pointless dialogue that still is funny to some), though most at least get a few laughs.

LucasArts has made the best games ever. I own the Win '95 version of this game and it's awesome! It will run on XP, along with the Win '95 version of "Day of the Tentacle", if you install it with the "no sound" option (the text will show at the bottom of the screen). But the voices are a major part of the fun of these games. If you have to choose between this game or the new "Sam & Max Season One", choose this one. This one is a thousand times better. I've found that new games are all fluff and no substance. "Escape from Monkey Island" and "The Curse of Monkey Island" also run on XP. These four games are probably the funniest ever made. If you can get ahold of them, grab on and don't let go!
