I'm 35 years old and had a similar experience. What you said about it shaping your humour really struck a chord with me (particularly Sam & Max). Maybe because it was the first LA game I played, but I think DoTT is the best, but it led to me playing all the rest.
I got the talkie on CD-ROM for a christmas present one year. I struggled with a lot of it, but my Dad before giving me the present removed the hint/solve book from the box and watched us (me and my younger brother) play and try and figure everything out and just gave us enough of a hint at the right times to make it feel like a really satisfying experience.

I'll RTFA after work.
