11.21.2009 - 21:39 | ParadoxBombGyarrrrgh! (or some other appropriate word expressing rage) How could I have let this hilarity slip past me? I need to find this series, ay-sap!
Well done, CR. Well done.

This, "Freakazoid" and "Earthworm Jim" were canceled too soon in the 90s.

Meh, EWJ wasn't that great
I love the games (the first two), but the series didn't have the same charm

Sam and Max, the show responsible for birthing the Torchbearer's Guild. My favorite one-shot joke.

I have two things to say.
It's Familiar Faces, not Familiar Lines!
Why did they do a cartoon based on a videogame???
-
11.21.2009 - 23:30 | SpecterM91
Cartoon based on a video game based on a comic, my boy. And they did it because they could, and because Sam and Max deserve to spread like a hilarious virus over all forms of media. And don't tell the man how to run his show.

Dude, where have you been? Since when has video game based cartoons been new? Have you forgotten the mario cartoon? And the Zelda cartoon? The sonic cartoons? Those were all video games too ya know.

I could NEVER forget Sam and Max. Sadly, I haven't been able to get a hold of their original comics, but I actually did catch it on its first airing, then watched it again whenever I could catch it.
Then I was hooked on Sam and Max Hit the Road once I discovered the many amazing adventure games I had missed, and I'm currently addicted to the new game series. They're iconic characters that really do deserve more respect.
Not only are they one of the few licenses to withstand the usually murderous step from comics to games, but they even managed to hop from games to cartoons and STILL keep their wit and snarky writing intact. Good stuff. And you're giving the Geek an episode? Because she does deserve it, no one remembers her.

11.21.2009 - 23:30 | theADHDkidI only discovered Sam & Max when the Telltale games started coming out. It's sad to think of all that I missed out on. Now I have to ad this show to that list.

Ha. I've never seen this show, but now I'm interested enough to find the episodes on a bit-torrent site somewhere. I'm going to download millions of data packets from seeders whilst uploading what I've partaken from the growing amount of leeching interweb users. That's tech-talk for 'not-stealing.'
-
11.22.2009 - 00:39 | PublicEnemyHoly shit! there was a cartoon of sam & max! How did I miss out on this!
...then again I didnt know what sam & max was when I was a kid cause I didnt play pc games back then
Whatever, Imma look it up now! Thanks for sharin man :D

man, i loved this one, shame they only showed a couple of episodes before changing it for no real reason...
-
11.22.2009 - 03:03 | SignNinjaAh, Sam and Max, without this show I would never have hunted down the PC games to understand all the hype of the greatness. Plus, they're awesome in the new adventures, although I have to play them on Xbox, I'm not picky!

A nice list. Could have used more commentary from you, but then again, lines like these need no help at all!

W00t! Sam & Max! Awesome. :)
-
11.22.2009 - 06:33 | GhostofBuddyHollyYou are aware of the comic, right? In my opinion, the S&M cartoon show ruined the spirit of its comic original. The comic had deeper humor, more obscure references, way more anarchic nature, and it was more violent. I don't dislike the show, but S&M is such an aburdly awsome franchise, it also ventured into video games, and neither the comic or the game was aimed at kids like the cartoon.

Okay, now I have to be mad at myself, I how did I miss this show? I haven't laughed like this at a cartoons jokes in ages. Thank you for showing this, cause, uh wow. Smart humor in a cartoon? Amazing!

Wow this show looked great, to bad i was too young to remember it... :(

I've never seen the show but the games seem pretty fun and I've been meaning to play them for a long time. I couldn't play the demos with a decent frame rate on my old computer, which threw me a little off at first, but I guess now I could try them again. Btw, is it possible to get this show anywhere?

11.22.2009 - 13:23 | anchoredwunderlustahh i was watching some sam and max recently on youtube. read their roadtrip comic book. was cool. havent played their games though. got a friend who is a fan that i lent the comic from and made them a max cake for their birthday [url]http://photos- c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak- snc1/v2445/68/18/ 599368288/ n599368288_2244152_284784 3.jpg[/url]

I remember this from back when I was a kid. Sam and Max are the MAN, even though they're a six-foot-tall anthropomorphic dog and a sociopathic lagomorph, respectively.

I loved the old the LucasArts game, the TellTale series, & the graphic novel, but the cartoon was a biiiiig disappointment. I dunno if it was the lack of violence or the presence of children that ruined it for me. Ugh, why couldn't they have made it an adult cartoon, like Duckman?

This vid is pretty good and shows just what a cult classic Sam and Max ARE! From comics to games to toons to games again, these two are awesome. Good stuff, my friend!
