What's been the worst Sam and Max episode so far?
Now don't get me wrong. I love Sam and Max and I think all the episodes are great, but I'm just wondering, which do you think was the weakest in terms of writing, gameplay etc.
Just a little question to try to pass the time before They Stole Max's Brain comes out.

Don't get me wrong I love the story, the factory designs and the ending...but it just wasn't very funny and the puzzles are really pedestrian - I could finish the game in under two hours if I tried hard enough.
I don't quite get the hate for Moai Better Blues. Sure, the babies were the worst supporting characters in Telltale history, I found the rest of it quite good. I still don't get what was so hard about the red-oozing snail puzzle.
It got to be Moai Better Blues. Then, Culture Shock is the second worse. After trying the free Abe Lincoln Must Day and decided to buy the whole seasons, it was quite a letdown. Happily enough, we bought Season 2 at the same time, so we switched to 201, and then came back
Plus I don't like Brady Culture in general. :P
This!
Worst s&M? Hard to choose.... I really do like them all. But Im afraid The award goes to Night of the raving dead. I just didn't get a good vibe from it.
:eek: That's one of my favourites! Loving them all so far, but Moai Better Blues is at the bottom of my list too.
I really don't see why everyone doesn't like Situation Comedy and Moai Better Blues,
they're great Episodes. Why all the hate?
I watched a walkthrough online and thought it would be pretty easy and fun to do, but when I actually played it it was pretty annoying and got confusing to finish. Plus the version I own had a lot of glitches in it. But there were some good points too.
PROS:
Rapa Nui/ Easter Island (awesome place)
evil Mr. Spatula ghost
Ocean chimps
Banang!
Soft marketable baby versions
Herbal tea and foot rubs (Raining fire and drowning magma)
Max wearing the sock crown
I agree. There was a section in the middle (pizza joint, toy store) where I felt I was just going through the motions or being led on a string. The puzzles were contrived, too easy, and too disconnected from plot advancement, which was just stated as fact after the puzzles were solved. I didn't have the feeling that I was working to track Skunkape. At one point I had to stop just to try to make sense of the chain of events that revealed the various bits of information.
the penal zone comes in a close 2nd; the crime-tron alone is almost enough to give penal zone 2nd worst episode status, then there's the story, the puzzles, and skunkape...
fortunately sammun-mak came along and restored my confidence in season 3.
I'm going to have to go with Moai Better Blues. I feel that it's the weakest episode in the series.
That said, I think that this entire thread is a flawed idea. "Here's 13 very well put together games. Pick which one of them is the worst." Yes, Moai Better Blues is largely considered the worst of the Sam and Max episodes by comparison to the others, but it still had its own high points and it's still an entertaining game. It just happens to be the weakest game in a series of really good games.
102 had some clever moments, and 103 has an okay story. And I can't hate 202 after it lets us be Young Sam.
If all the babies were like that it'd be much better
and please no drug abuse.
Ice station Santa is the only thing that's keeping me from totally hating christmas. (okay. Ice Station Santa and the Christmas Critters Episode of South Park)
How can anything be totally out of place in Sam and Max?
Common sense and sanity.
