Sam & Max Kids spin-off, please!

Who else would like to see a spin-off product featuring Sam & Max as kids?

A full season or even a just a single episode would be awesome. What about a new gaming type or even a S&M series directed towards younger audiences (ie.. Humongous Entertainment)?

The possibilities are endless, but for now I'll be satisfied with a Machinima Short ;)

    I don't think Sam & Max humour works well with kids. Sure it's got a Dog and a rabbit running around, but in the end I think they would just become disspointed and or bored after awhile.

    Besides, they were never mean't for child audiences and should never again be fit into that mold.

    they where cute and funny as kids, but i don't think a whole episode as kids would work very well

    Although I thought that they were ADORABLE as kids and would love to see them in that form again, I don't think it would work as an entire season. Maybe an episode or machinima short, as a couple people have stated, but unfortuntely I fear that the fact that they are kids for a whole season may turn off potiental new fans (even though we all well know that Telltale wouldn't "water-down" the series' usual grotesque humor if that happened, as we saw in Maoi Blues).

    As for a spin-off series aimed towards kids, no. Just....no.

    What I would really like to see is a Soda Poppers spin-off. I love those guys!

    It wouldn't have to be the exact same humor, you can tone it down for kids without changing it completely. That's what they did with the animated series... they weren't allowed to show guns or use certain language, so they maintained the Sam & Max feel by dialing up the weirdness factor instead.

    And hey, as a kid I used to love the Muppet Babies even though I thought the Muppet Show was boring as hell. :D

    Haha! I love the Soda Poppers, too! But unfortunately, their characters are better-suited to be on the receiving end of ridicule, rather than be heroes themselves. But then again, there's also Roger Wilco of the Space Quest series. Throughout those games, the narrator made fun of him every chance he got (and when it was voiced by Gary Owens... pure humorous bliss!). Perhaps the same could be done to the Soda Poppers?

    I wouldn't mind a Sam and Max Kids spin-off episode and/or short. They were just so percouscious and cute.

    no no no, yes they were cute but come on!!!! The sam and max humor would not be the same, although... If max was just as crazy as a child then I'd love to see baby max hold a gun randomly shooting out the window.

    PS.Sam's shirt... come on. LQTM

    I must have fired my gun for hours (metaphorically speaking) just to hear Sam make those noises. Oh how I laughed and as my mother walked by she watched, listened and thought I was insane!

    I'd like to see a Soda Poppers short recreating their original 70's show.

    well maybe if there's like, anouther portal to the past you take the part as
    Sam & Max as kids for like that entire part, and then after you figure out the entire puzzle you leave and never return.....(unless you use debug mode)

    Seeing them as kids in 202 was great but I'd prefer to leave it as a "Woah! That was unexpected!" rather than milking a series out of it. Let it be a nice one off. :rolleyes:

    Let them have it around season 20, when Telltale runs out of ideas but continues to milk the cash cow...
    Hey, maybe Telltale should ask Matt Groening for pointers... he certainly knows how *** cough *** simpsons *** cough ***
