Line 6:
The Inventory: a former speakeasy founded against the possibility of an early draft of the 18th Amendment even more stringent than the one we know, now re-purposed as a highly exclusive club. Gaming's greatest characters settle in here during their "down-time," when their games are powered down. It's poker night, and four of gaming's greatest characters walk in to play some poker, about to bet everything they own for the sake of winning.
 
'''''Poker Night at the Inventory''''' is a crossover game formerly from [[Telltale Games]], now [[abandonware]]. It featuringfeatures [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]], [[Sam and Max|Max]], [[Penny Arcade|Tycho]] and [[Team Fortress 2|the Heavy]] engaging the "Player," a mysterious new challenger, in a game of Texas Hold'Em poker.
 
The trailer can be viewed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6HN3TsI8cw&NR=1 here.] It has its own [[wiki]] since 2010, hosted on the [[Wikia|Fandom]] platform [[wikia:theinventory:special:allpages|here]].
 
It has its own (very young) wiki [http://theinventory.wikia.com/wiki/Poker_Night_at_the_Inventory_Wiki here] which needs a little [[Wiki Magic]].

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Heavy is updated from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'''s 50s-60s stylized setting, but only updated to about the mid-80s (he listens to Huey Lewis and believes [[Purple Rain]] is recent), while Strong Bad and Tycho talk over computer setups and internet sites.
Line 24:
* [[Berserk Button]]:
** Strong Bad whenever asked about his "[[Red Boxing Gloves|boxing gloves]]."
{{quote|'''Strong Bad:''' '''[[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|THESE. ARE. MY. HANDS!]]'''}}
** Heavy makes it clear multiple times that the Spy is his least favorite ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' character. See also [[This Cannot Be!]] below.
* [[Big No]]: Strong Bad will occasionally let this go when he gets eliminated.
* [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: Strong Bad brags he [https://web.archive.org/web/20121028010742/http://www.telltalegames.com/videos/btbchapter2ex stole the source code] for ''Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People'' from "those Telltale chumps." He constantly berates Telltale throughout the game - probably because [https://web.archive.org/web/20130513195600/http://www.telltalegames.com/videos/btbchapter3 he's had a lot of bad experiences with the developers].
* [[Bowdlerization]]: The Fruit Fucker from ''Penny Arcade'' appears on an unlockable table, except it's renamed as "Fruit Friend". Even if the swears are uncensored, it still appears as "Fruit Friend".
* [[Brick Joke]]: The Banang joke, which has a tendency to show up in recent Telltale games series, makes a return here. Max, obviously, doesn't take hearing the world again very well.
Line 199:
** Strong Bad reacts this way when the Heavy says that between learning to box and learning to herd goats, he chose boxing.
{{quote|'''Heavy:''' Strong and bad, how is boxing career?
'''Strong Bad:''' '''[[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|THESE. ARE. MY. HANDS!]]'''
'''Heavy:''' I was boxer once. In school. We have to either box or learn to herd goats. I am not good with goats.
'''Strong Bad:''' ''(singing)'' [[Too Much Information]], man. You're "[[The Adjectival Superhero|Too Much Information Man]]."
