Need help remembering a game

There's this one game I used to play at a friend's house way back when I was like, 13 or 14. Think Windows 95.. I don't know what genre of game this is, so I'll have to explain what it is.

I'm pretty sure you play as a "dude", who's got like a beanie and sunglasses on. He talks like a surfer dude. The game itself is like a puzzle kinda thing, where, in order to get from one room to the next, you have to figure out the 'puzzle' in the current room. For example: say you need a pair of pliers to open the door (handle busted off), so you have to go back 2 rooms to find pliers, and they're on top of some thing, so you need a ladder that's conveniently placed next to it. However, to get the ladder down, you have to go forward 1 room to turn a lever to get the ladder to drop down, then you go up and get the pliers and go back to the original room, open the door and now there's a new puzzle.

The game has way more depth than that, I mean, you can pick up items and store them in your inventory until you need to use them. I never could beat it cause we kept dying somehow. The only thing I remember about the game, and I'm hoping this is all you need.. but he says "open, says, uh.. me!"

Other than that, I don't remember ANYTHING about the game at all. Well, I do remember there's this one room with a bed.. but what game doesn't have a bed.. meh. It might just be a lost cause. One thing that could help is if anyone knows what genre that game is, I can try looking at all the games like that and maybe the title will remind me.

Thanks in advance..

It sounds like a point and click game man. I honestly just spent the last 10 min searching through Youtube and Google and the only games I can think of were from Maniac Mansion, which I doubt is what youre looking for :(

Good luck man, hope you find what youre looking for.
 
If it helps any, it came with this demo of music. You just clicked these buttons and they played sounds or something.. meh.

Actually, do you know what kind of genre it is? And yeah, I know it sounds like a point and click, but I think you could move with 'wasd' or arrow keys, and just clicked with the mouse to pick things up.
 

High Hopes

Awesome Bro

One thing that I find helps me in regards to remembering something I played awhile ago is playing something similar. Try to find a game like it, play it for awhile, and it may simply "come to you", as it were. Works often for me.
