I just want season 3 of Sam&Max.
It's creepy..
Graphic adventures are they ONLY genre I can imagine an animated comedy series working in. Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity was the only one that really did it right.

David seems like a really nice guy.
That's not really true. There are many forms of comedians than the stand-up variety. Yes the delivery method is different, but that doesn't mean developers are better at putting the funny in games than professional comedians. And it doesn't matter how good a voice actor is if he has a barren sense of humor and doesn't get the timing or inflection.
A main problem is that the joke writers don't tend to direct the voices, and the actors don't tend to be in the same studio as each other when recording. This has nothing to do with the actual medium and has everything to do with production choices.
