I voted other, that's saying:
Freddy Pharkas, the Frontier Pharmacist, the best little crackshot the West had ever seen.

It has to be Rincewind, altough Guybrush Threepwood is very close. And I have to mention Joe King from the Flight Of The Amazon Queen too. The humour in that game was situation comedy, and I really liked it.

I wouldn't say that Full Throttle is a humorous adventure game.

I voted for Guybrush.
I think the funniest character may be Laverne from Day of the Tentacle. Just watching her walk was funny. |

ELENA: I think you are right, but I don't have played Full Throttle yet, so I don't know if it is humorous or not..

Guybrush Threepwood for me. Then probably followed by Sam/Max.

I wouldn't define his adventures as humorous, so it's probably right that he isn't there, no?

I'm shocked I'm the only one who voted for Max (so far!). The guy has a raving, psychotic rabbit for a partner and he doesn't batter an eyelid!
More-so, he encourages him. Oh to play "Hit the Road" one more time. "Of course you did little buddy" |

Definately Max. Sam is just a necessary addition to stress how cool Max is
