9''Sam & Max: The Abridged Series'' is a GagDub and AffectionateParody of Telltale's ''Franchise/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' games. The AbridgedSeries is created by a guy named David [=DeLorenzo=] (known as LACOSAM on Website/YouTube). And like all AbridgedSeries, ''Sam and Max Abridged'' compresses each and every single episode of the actual series into an under-fifteen-minute "episode" - and the original episodes were already short to begin with! In the first episode, LACOSAM himself voiced all the characters, but later episodes have had characters voiced by other Sam and Max fans, including Gohaku (who voices Max from episode 2 onward), Remolay, Divisionten, and [=StrongBrush1=].

11Since Telltale currently has no plans to release a new Sam & Max game in the year 2011, LACOSAM hopes that this series will tide over fans of the famous suit-wearing dog and lagomorph until then.
