On December 21, the full-length "Episode 2 - Situation: Comedy" picks up where "Episode 1: Culture Shock" left off. This time Sam & Max make their way to a local TV studio to investigate a talk-show taping that's spiraled into a hostage situation. Along with a few familiar faces and tons of Sam & Max's trademark humor, the episode features fresh locations and characters, a new musical score, and plenty of bizarre scenarios for players to puzzle through. The first "Situation: Comedy" screenshots and gameplay videos were also released today and can be downloaded from the Telltale website listed above.

In addition to first access to the machinima shorts, "Situation: Comedy," and every upcoming full-length episode of "Sam & Max: Season 1," GameTap subscribers are treated to weekly releases of the complete 1997 animated Sam & Max television series and a documentary that takes gamers behind the scenes of "The Making of Sam & Max."
