Poker Night at the Inventory/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: the premise of a crossover involving [[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Tycho Brahe]], [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]], [[Team Fortress 2|The Heavy]] and [[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police|Max]] is basically ''[[Pandering to the Base|asking]]'' [[Invoked Trope|for this trope]].

* [[Ascended Meme]]: Of sorts. Winslow gained a reputation of being a [[Memetic Badass]] and now he's the only character other than the main four to be voiced and the only ''[[Monkey Island]]'' character to appear.

** An odd claim, as the bets of all five players don't add up to 400,000 dollars. Not even close.

* [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch]]: People were complaining that it would suck just because it was a card game. But as you know, [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|card games are]] [[Serious Business]].

** Many people who hadn't heard of ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' (or at least hadn't read it) got into it thanks to this game. (Look up ''any'' Poker Night video on [[YouTube]], it's impossible to find a video that ''doesn't'' have a comment asking who Tycho is)

* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: Using the right mouse button to skip character dialogue can lead to some humorous happenings, from Strong Bad's mouth disappearing, to the Heavy sitting back [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|with his hand on his lap and an all-too-satisfied smile on his face]], to Max outright swearing.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: When [[Team Fortress 2]] went Free-To-Play, Tycho claimed he hated the game. Well, there goes ever seeing a [[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]] cameo in a sequel, unless he changes his mind...

* [[Heartwarming in Hindsight]]: Or perhaps, ''more'' heartwarming in hindsight:

Heavy (firmly): Yes. }}

** Later, in [[Team Fortress 2|Meet The Medic]], Medic refers to Heavy as ''his'' friend, with genuine fondness in his voice. In fact, a lot of Meet The Medic could potentially be a [[Call Back]] to Poker Night- Heavy's fondness for [[Russian Humor]], birds...

** If you win the Iron Curtain in the middle of a game, Heavy murmurs "Goodbye, my love" and hugs her gently before leaving the table, dejected. Happily, you can give her back to him in [[Team Fortress 2]].

* [[That One Achievement]]: Good luck getting that straight flush or four of a kind.
