Funniest moments - Bright side of the moon

Dangerzone

this is a dual purpose thread....... what are your favorite moments from bright side of the moon, and from season one as a whole (including the machinima shorts)

i superballs return is my favorite part of episode 6, but the cops return rates righ as well........

and my favorite shorts were interrogation and artichoke

but episodes 4 and 5 are still my favorites...... due to the political, and video game culture humor

episode 6 seemed to lack a theme..... they touched on the space program, cults, big buissness, but no overall theme....... i think that is why i did not kike it as much as a whole

but without a doubt, episode 6 has some of the best humor of the entire season....

Sam: "Ramdom but innocus comment"
Max: "Unrelated reply that hints at mental instability"
Sam: "you crack me up little buddy"

marsan

I have to say the funniest part was when max got

seperated and became all nice and happy, lol. Also, it was great to return to the earth and talk to the happy people

"I love you too!"

, lol

I thought that Max pointing up to the moon at the end of the credits, followed by Sam and Max getting out of the DeSoto on the moon was quite funny.

Also Sam's comment (probably not exact - I'm going by memory) "remember the old days when it was much harder to get to the moon".

A lot of people mentioned that they didn't like this episode as much because it didn't focus on a particular satire. I found it better that the jokes flew by from many different directions. I thought the humour had a much broader scope in that respect.

Maratanos

Oh, it's satirical all right.

It's satirizing Scientology and magic.

As well as the space program, theme parks, and a ton of other stuff. Sam & Max wouldn't be Sam & Max without satire. This episode just seemed to have a lot broader humour scope than the others - and for some reason a lot of people didn't like it as much because of it. I personally, liked it better because the humour was so broad.

marsan

I think it was very much needed(the broader humour). The season finale had to wrap up all the loose strings, and it did.

It even explained somethings that confused me after playing hit the road, especially what happened with Dough the moleman, and how the guy knew how to bend tools

Zeek

Let's see.... where do I begin...

The fact that Max left his foot print over the first footprint on the moon was a LOL moment.

Bosco actually saying "yes" to items you could have used in previous episodes and Max flipping out about them.

Hugh Bliss's "what?" replies when you are looking at all the stuff in his inner sanctum.

The final battle was just plan fun to watch over and over and over no matter how bad I was stuck. It was probably the least frustrating road block I've had in the game simply because of how they composed each shot.

And that beautiful credit sequence....:D

I'm playing it again just to hear the lines I was laughing over!

wrpdmnd

The comments S&M make after you beat Tic-Tac-Doom echoing the complaints of the first few episodes.

ReverendTed

"I always thought Rush was the Queen of Canada." Man, that had me in stitches.
And "It's like an HMO."

I know we've all been itching for some edgier humor, but I was really surprised at the Jonestown crack. Nearly a thousand people died. I laughed, but I felt bad about it.

jmm

The DeSoto with the Canadian logo, eh?

AdamG

Some of my favorite moments was when Harry the Mole Man broke down and lost his self esteem, and the sequence with Max's hunger in Bosco's.

octochan

That end credit sequence was made of PURE WIN.

The fact that every third character in this episode was carrying a really important item . . . IN THEIR GUTS! You can't beat that for someplace to put things.

The

mechanical suit

red herring. I can appreciate a good red herring.

The non-sequitur dialogue option. I really missed that rubber duck from the Hit the Road.

The subtle explaination for Brady Culture's part in this.

He wasn't actually part of the master plan and that he stole the prototype hypnosis goggles.

Not to mention the jab at us adventure gamers and how we'll take anything that's not bolted to the floor.

fajerkaos

* The chart on the moon that explains how everything was connected...

* The "it was to short and to easy!!" -statement made by max...

* Almost everything that "nice" Max said. (especially when talking to Abe)

I love this episode for its wackyness

Zeek

HOLY CRAP!! I just noticed the headless body of the president running away from Max when the SS are doing Max's "Looking at my hand in awe" animation!:D

maximmortal

The single funniest moment of episode 6 was when

Sam saws off Hugh Bliss' head for the first time and Max says something like, 'Oh my God, that was freaking awesome.'

taumel

For me it was when Sam&Max were helping out with the

telephone dating between Abe and Sybil.

and the way how Sam

pushes the moleman back when exiting the shop

. And also Max was generally very good in this one!

Funny even without some beer...

mothra

a worthy season finale, agree with no overall theme like 4 and 5 but
brilliant nonetheless. i can't even touch on the dozens of times this
episode had me laughing, chuckling or just grinning from ear to ear.

THANKS telltale, you really did bring a Sam&Max Season like I always hoped
it could be.

GalFisk

things that got me LOLing, in no particular order:

Canadian flags on the car and the moon after selling the US to Canada
Bosco in drag
Getting eaten by gluttonous Max
Straightening Jimmy's parking meter
Figuring out how to get Max' hand back
Tic tac doom, and "the world's most advanced AI"
Bosco having everything you'd have needed in previous episodes
The earthquake machine (should've left a crater though)

the headless body of the president running away from Max

Superball being depressed

And many more. Even though I loved the humor in the two previous eps, this one gave me the most actual laugh out loud moments.
The ending credits were awesome (and I'd like to have the song lyrics)!

Yeah, I was in stitches over that!

Other parts I found funny were the reactions of the C.O.P.S. when you

lose Tic-Tac-Doom

, and any and all comments regarding Sam's *ahem* unicorn.

And I haven't even finished the episode yet!

Derwin

Definitely

the comment Max makes after you play Tic Tac Doom. "It was too short. And not hard enough. I want my money back!"

In a related note,

Tic Tac Doom

was one of the most clever puzzles I have ever experienced. Not that it was very hard, but just the sheer idea and originality behind it make me tear off my shirt, whirl it over head, and moo.

doom saber

I find the

answering machine comments funny. I thought the first message where some mobster tells Jimmy that it is hard to kill a dog and a rabbit in a subtle manner and one way to kill them is to rig the answering machine so it will shock whoever is listening to it during the 3 message

However, I find the third message the most hilarious one of all; for those who haven't tried it, I suggest you play it first and do it before reading the rest. Sadly, sam or max does not get shock during the third message, but I know how Jimmy pretends to be Sybil and tells Sam and she/he is "Preggo and that Sam is partly responsible for it." Max's comment of saying something like "Did Sybil just tell us she is a brand of a can of a spagitti sauce?" is awsome. It left a smile on my face even though it took me a second try to get that joke; it never occured to me that the slang word of preggo can be mistaken as prego, the pasta sauce. Creative.

Hobophobic

I think that the sloth Max character was one of the best of the season; the way he affected the characters around him (especially superball), his voice acting and dialogue, and his inability to make it past the lunar lander because he was too lazy.
The conversations Sam has with the office phone were hilarious and it was funny to shoot the gun out of the office window after everyone was hypnotized.

Thomas

Max response to the

Tic Tac Doom, "It was too short. And not hard enough. I want my money back!"

was hilarious.
Also, when you look at the

US flag flapping on the moon without air, together with Sam's comment

, was a laugh out loud moment.

Marty

i really LOL'ed at the comment about bloggers having to tell complete strangers on the street about what their favourite TV show is.

Sp0tted

I loved Lincoln hitting on Sybil

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMN

wrpdmnd

What I love is that my buddy still doesn't know what's so funny about Hugh Bliss' name.

dunkpork

Tic-Tac-Doom

I'm glad someone at Telltale listened to my request to have Bluster Blaster have an actual playable game =p

jmm

Yeah, in particular liked that one since it jabs at some old games that used most of their resources on intros rather than the game itself.

Kind of the the cartoons of the 80's, right?

Eater

I liked how, while i was actively trying to pick the wrong answers to hear all the results while helping abe smooth talk sybil, I ended up getting all the right ones on the first try.

Hero1

mann everyones already mentioned all my favorite bits..what else.. umm the rubbing the unicorn jokes couldnt help but laugh.. every line that came out of hugh bliss' mouth.. sam saying how mr spatula looked enlightened.. being eaten by max! talking to sybil with abe lincoln when shes blissed out haha

Ahare

The Tick and Monkey Island references weren't exactly the funniest things in there...but I thought both were pretty awesome

Hero1

what was the tick reference I missed that?

Also when you get that talisman in the final scene..and Sam says "well not very challenging" or something haha!

It's really easy to miss...

In the final battle with hugh bliss take a close look at all the spoons on the wall

Cyberlink420

SPOOOOOOOON!

Man, the tick was an awesome show.

And of course, there was MAx saying what I think we all had on our minds...

Hugh: Hi, I'm Hugh Bli-
Max: STOP SAYING THAT! *lunges*

my other favorite was trying to throw jimmy out of the window again...... that one had me on the floor
Sam: "Been there.... Done that"

Sir Lemming

I loved getting swallowed by gluttonous Max with Sam saying "Well, here we are inside Max's stomach."

RMJ1984

Yeah but we really need a bit of Violence. Like in the old sam&max when they try to beat up Conroy Bumpes or what ever that is spelled Sam & max looks very cool when they get angry ARGGGG
