    Maybe it was because it was among the first games I played with full speech (I think the game came free with a new sound card) or maybe the voices were just amazingly awesome, but even after more than a decade since I played this game, I still find myself quoting it with what I remember to be the perfefct inflection. Lines like Hoagie's "I don't wanna," Bernard's "Mmmm... I don't think so," and for some reason that artist guy's "Give me back my hammer," get uttered all the time by me, even around people who have no idea where they're from. If there's ever a poll for the game with the best voice acting of all time, Day of the Tentacle would get my vote.


    Anyone else got any favourite lines they still remember?

    "Very much like him, according to my wife Mrs. Washington."

    Whenever I have the opportunity to use the phrase "very much like that" (or anything similar), "according to my wife Mrs. Washington" invariably gets tacked on the end, whether it makes sense or not.

    "That's why I'll have to do it YESTERDAY!"

    The quote I repeat most though is the opening scene from Sam n Max - the whole mad scientist scene.  Pretty sure my girlfriend is getting pretty tired of it...
