--->'''Creator/RonGilbert:''' I never liked the art in DotT. Technically and artistically it was fantastic, but I never liked the wacky Chuck Jones style. But that was Dave and Tim's game, not mine. They can do what they want and I completely supported that.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: Back in the early 2000s, rumors were circulating on the Web about a sequel called ''Maniac Mansion 3: Rise of the Tentacle(s)'' (an obvious reference to ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'') that is being developed by Creator/PenduloStudios. In fact, such a project was never in the works, and the legend originated from an April Fools joke [[https://web.archive.org/web/20030502051242/https://www.cafzone.net/NewsDetails.aspx?newsId=1020 published at the end of March 2003]] by the French gaming website ''Cafzone'' (and subsequently reiterated in the gaming magazine ''Joystiq'').

* DummiedOut: Some Dummied Out content can be found on [[https://lostmediawiki.com/Day_Of_The_Tentacle_(lost_cut_content_of_PC_adventure_game;_1993) Lost Media Wiki]] and [[https://tcrf.net/Maniac_Mansion:_Day_of_the_Tentacle The Cutting Room Floor wiki]]. In particular, there are [[https://tcrf.net/Maniac_Mansion:_Day_of_the_Tentacle/Unused_Dialogue several voice lines that never play]]. About half of them are [[InformingTheFourthWall fairly generic "I can't do that" lines]] that either can't come up with a certain kid, or else every time they ''can'' come up there's a different line for that specific interaction.
