Telltale Games

Zeek · 04/18/2010, 04:37 pm

Since TTG's ultimate goal is to tell a joke with facial expressions and with as little dialouge as possible, I thought it would be nice to post your favorite joke from 301 that involved a facial reaction of some kind.

I'll start!

My absolute favorite expression joke is when you help Stinky out of her cell by telling her that Skunkape has the keys. The expression on Stinky's face pretty much sold the joke for me.

So what's yours?

I love when Skunkape looks at Girl-Stinky, waiting for her to receive his SMS.

I like when Mama Bosco looks at Max after he says touching is his favorite thing to do.

This one's near the end: When you examine the toybox and Max runs off to find a crowbar to pry it open, and the molemen implore Sam and Max not to open it. Sam agrees, and in the background Max reappears with a crowbar just in time to hear it. And then he gets the best dejected look on his face and tosses the crowbar away, all disappointed.

Haha, no, when we arrived at Telltale 99% of the acting was done already.
But I am a tiny bit proud of that "Tennis-Game" in front of the pawn-shop (go into Max-Mode).

I love that one as well.

Oh, so that was your doing? Nice.

I loved max's line "I don't like how he's undressing me with his eyes". Not sure why, but I laughed a lot.

Doesn't count. I'm looking for jokes where the punch line is centered only around their facial reactions and not on what they say.

...just so you know, second is licking.

Happy/Excited Max at any time it happens.

Edit: Especially first time through the Mole Processing Room.

Giant Tope · 04/18/2010, 06:39 pm

oh. Totally missed that. hurr durr. I misread that as expression as in expression of speech.

Kroms · 04/18/2010, 08:51 pm

The part at the end with the crowbar was perfect timing with the comedy, plus almost everything with Stinky and her cell ("Look at this photo he sent me").

There was one where Sam and Max are just silent for two seconds, though I'll be damned if I remember where.

Acting as in animation? Also, those things you animated are really good. is it hard to use the telltale tool?

Max's face when Sam tries to get into the kitchen with Girl Stinky still there.
