== Max is the only actual [[Ho Yay]] member of the Freelance Police. ==
Line 9:
* Plus, even though they both hate being separated, the most Sam will do is try to reunite by looking for Max. Max, on the other hand, is apparently willing to kill for Sam, making him something of a Yandere, as exhibited in "What's New, Beelzebub" when he ripped out the kidneys of the demon trying to take his place. (Although it's possible that this might just be his naturally violent tendencies.)
** Not so sure about that; When Max's brain is stolen in season 3, Sam flies spectaculary of the handle, turning into something out of [[Sin City]]: He pulls [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]] on everyone he meets, threatens friends with his revolver without provocation, and keeps spewing Noir lines at random.
* This could explains the sometimes questionable nature of their relationship. It's never going to progress, it's never going to turn into anything more meaningful then a few iffy jokes, and the [[Ho Yay]] theories are never going to become canon, because it's unrequited.
** Except whenever people in the games seriously mention the possibility, they become disgusted.
*** It's mostly Sam who seems to horrified, though, while when Max just shows mild surprise. For instance, in "Chariots of the Dogs," when Momma Bosco accuses Sam of wanting to keep Max for himself, Sam becomes offended and denies it, while Max turns to him idly and says that he "never knew he felt this way."
* When disguises are necessary in the cartoons, Max almost invariably dresses as a girl. his costumes including a frilly pink swimsuit, a stewardess outfit, and a dress and heels to pose as Sam's girlfriend in "We Love Tonight."
** Plus, Sam and Max become the surrogate parents of a baby crocodile in the episode "That Darn Gator," raising it like a child instead of a pet, with Max taking on the role of the mother.
*** Sam and Max are apparently married. You see this during the recap at the beginning of the first episode, with Sam as the bride and Max as the groom. This is never mentioned again, although you do see a wedding photo in the background of "The Final Episode." It might have just been a throwaway gag, but still. That's probably worth something.

Considering Sam is almost as crazy as his pal, with the difference being that he has some standards, apparently Sam just represses his part. Just go and (in the Penal Zone) use the ring with Max outside Momma Bosco's Lab.
 
== The Geek couldn't decide what to do with her life, so she changed her name to Sybil. ==
Line 27:
* The molemen thing got Jossed. Apparently molemen guard ancient artifacts hidden under offices.
 
== The Commissioner is Ness's Dad from [[EarthboundEarthBound]] ==
Neither appear except as a telephone, and both know details about the main characters that they shouldn't. The Commissioner always knows where and when to call Sam and Max; he only got their answering machine once, and the message he left was that he'd be calling soon after they heard that message. Ness's dad somehow knows exactly how many enemies the kids have defeated and how long they've been adventuring. He can even call Ness when he doesn't have a phone on him.
 
If they're not the same person, they're at least both extradimensional omniscient phone entities.
* But the Scout is also Ness' dad according to the ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' and EB WMG pages, which ties nicely into TF2 canon as well as [[EarthboundEarthBound]]. It would explain Scout having the Lugermorph; Scout and Engineer had it first, and it was given to [[M Ax]] on his first mission. Then Max lost it in time and the Scout and Engineer got it.
 
== Bosco is related to [[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Bubs]]. ==
They're both African-American-ish and both part of the [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]. Both are in games produced by Telltale, and both charge way too much for crappy wares they have a monopoly on. There are only two reasons Bubs hasn't made anyone pay a billion dollars for a used tissue:
# He hasn't figured out how.
Line 40:
 
== Girl Stinky actually ''did'' murder Grandpa Stinky. ==
Although Grandpa Stinky denies it after coming [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] in Episode 205, he might have been lying to preserve his pride (after all, what [[Retired Badass]] would admit to losing a fight to his alleged granddaughter?). Also, if she didn't do it, her "suspicious" behavior in the first three episodes of Season Two has absolutely no basis, and even for this series that's significantly unusual.
* Though you know, {{spoiler|in the last episode, if you mention Sal, she starts acting a little...shifty....}}
** Who is Sal?
Line 56:
 
I'm not leaning on [[Status Quo Is God]] with this one; I have my reasons. Remember Episode 204 when they visited their far-future office? It didn't ''look'' anything like an alternate-dimension prison for criminals.
* According to [[Word of God]], [[Rule of Funny]] goes first than continuity between Seasons, when asked the same. But, in ''The Penal Zone'' there's a Vision of the Future of {{spoiler|Sam and Max talking inside the building, in their Office}}.
** But remember that {{spoiler|in the "original" future, Sam and Max trap the general in the Penal Zone whilst on his ship, and their office was never destroyed. It was only after Skun'ka'pe used the future-vision toy to change the future that they had to come up with the new plan that involved destroying their office.}} So the vision of the future as seen in episode 204, as well as the ones earlier in episode 301, may no longer be true.
* Technically, it's already back to normal thanks to Papierwaite, because he stole the power source of the new Penal Zone, ejecting Skun-ka'pe in the process!
 
== Max doesn't wear clothes, because doing so makes him too Moe for words ==
Until now, his cuteness has been more informed than anything else. In the few instances where he actually wears some kind of clothing, though, just watch the fangirls squee.
For example - meet Max as a [https://web.archive.org/web/20100209065204/http://http/://img.neoseeker.com/v_image.php?type=news&articleid=13814ℑ=413814%E2%84%91%3D4 down-on-his-luck newsboy].
Need further examples? See Max in a raincoat ("A Glitch in Time"), Max in a swimsuit ("The Glazed [[McGuffin]] Affair"), and Max as a flight attendant ("The Final Episode"). Sure, most of the rare clothes-wearing occurrences happen in the cartoons, but how is that important in any way?
* I don't know. When you see Maximus (Max's great-grandfather, who is essentially him wearing clothes) in ''The Tomb of Sammun-Mak'', "cute" isn't exactly the first adjective that comes to mind.
** It...It's not?
*** Don't listen to him, he's just jealous that he doesn't look as adorable in newsboy caps as Maximus did.
** [[Comically Missing the Point|The phrase that comes to mind is "hobo rabbit".]]
*** [[Your Mileage May Vary]].
 
== The universe takes place in the same world as [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]. ==
Sam's revolver and Max's pistol, and Max's head made an appearance in the game, although, TF2 takes place in the past, so it involves Time Travel in some way.
* Don't talk so casually about time travel and Sam and Max! My head is still reeling from ''Chariots of the Dogs''!
* The Engineer's Dispenser appears in 304.
* Partially confirmed, it seems, by [[Poker Night At the Inventory (Video Game)|Poker Night At the Inventory]]. And [[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Homestar Runner]] and [[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]] with it.
 
== The Narrator is going to be Season 3's [[Big Bad]]. ==
Speaks for itself. After all, why would the introduce such a random and unnecessary character if he didn't turn out to be important at some point? He has absolutely no purpose. Except to narrate.
* The narrator is probably {{spoiler|Conroy Bumpuss (from ''Hit The Road''). Both are apparently British. Their hair looks the same. Also, the Narrator's cape looks like something Elvis would have worn. Makes sense that Conroy would want something like that too.}}
* {{spoiler|Oddly enough, confirmed.}}
Line 90:
 
What does this all add up to? Well, Max, being smaller and (apparently) cuter, is more popular with the ladies and Sam knows this. Rather than allow Max to enjoy the attention, Sam derails these moments in any way he can. If Sam were either to get a girlfriend or become a ladies man himself, he'd probably let the little guy have his fun.
* 2 things: 1- We have never seen what's happens when Max get his "girls" and, [[Heroic Sociopath|knowing]] [[Killer Rabbit|him]], who's knows what could happen and 2- Why can Sam not get a girlfriend? [https://web.archive.org/web/20130511183147/http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14445&page=2 He] [http://cheri-chan.deviantart.com/art/Crossword-159465233?q=favby%3AGinny-N%2F1319140&qo=107 looks] [http://ginny-n.deviantart.com/art/SaM-Bishie-Sam-WITH-GLASSES-148381859 somewhat] [http://clanker.deviantart.com/art/SaM-Glasses-159377225?q=favby%3AGinny-N%2F1319140&qo=109 handsome] with glasses =P (and kilts). Of course, probably that's a mild case of [[Memetic Mutation]]
 
** I'd always just figured that it was like Momma Bosco said, and he wanted to keep Max to himself. But that's because I'm a [[Yaoi Fangirl]], and I just can't accept two guys being friends without SOME homoerotic subtext. Even though it does kind of make me feel squicky when I think about Sam and Max in that light.
Line 98:
* While I'm pretty sure Norrington is voiced by the same guy who voiced Human Le'Chuck.
* Dammit, beat me to the punch.
** He could have been [[Cast Asas a Mask]].
* Jossed. Dr. Norrington is Yogg-Sothoth, of all people.
** Doesn't mean he isn't also the Narrator using a human disguise.
Line 109:
* Jossed. {{spoiler|Except the cloning bit.}}
 
== Sal and Girl Stinky are [[Star -Crossed Lovers]], or at least that is what Girl Stinky thinks ==
Because their relation will be never approved by Grampa Stinky, but it's Girl Stinky who thinks that. Grampa Stinky looks like he has no idea about the existence of the guy and, like Sam said in Episode 303, Grampa Stinky never had problems with Cockroaches in the Kitchen.
* In Episode 304, its been revealed that Grandpa Stinky actually fired Sal prior to Season 3 and Girl Stinky didn't find this out until maybe Episode 303. Grandpa never had problems with NORMAL roaches, but he [[Hypocritical Humor|CERTAINLY has problems with]] [[Fantastic Racism|roaches that are six feet tall and sentient]]. The firing may also stem from some inherent knowledge that [[HotImprobable SkittySpecies On Wailord ActionCompatibility|Sal might have been making passes at Girl Stinky]] even without knowing the two were having a full-blown affair. Grandpa might hate Girl's guts for stealing his spotlight, but [[Papa Wolf|she's still family]].
 
== Sam and Max's friendship/HoYay will kick off the endgame in Episode 305: The City That Dares Not Sleep. ==
Line 125:
 
== The Sam clones are in fact Aliens who created the Toy Box and helped the Egyptians to build the pyramids. ==
Those "clones" are "slaves" and there's a big important guy who's their "master". This Master Ancestors created the Devil's Toybox (Which probably another name) for help out the Pharaoh at the time they arrived. When they decided to leave Egypt, they leave one/some of their people (I don't know if a "slave" or something similar, but probably is a slave) to protect and help the current pharaoh. He seemly forgot from where he come from and, after that current pharaoh and he died, their decendant somehow always fullfill the first order and always, somehow, make bond with a person with a brain with the gift. In other words, if you want to find someone with the gift in the earth, check out for the Giant Talking Barefoot Dog.
And those aliens are back because they are chasing Skun-ka'pe. And probably they want to destroy the Devil's Toybox because has already fullfilled its purpose and it's just causing problems now.
* Jossed.
 
Line 137:
* {{spoiler|Jossed. But Sam does blurt out Harry's name as a throwaway gag.}}
 
== [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|The Lugermorph]] stays in the hands of mercenaries when not used by Max ==
When Sam said "So that's where you keep your gun!" during his brief bodyswap in Night of the Raving Dead, he meant it was in another universe, being kept warm by a bratty half-pint and a humble cyborg Texan builder.
 
Line 160:
 
== Sam Jr is Sal ==
Sam Jr hatched inside giant Max, and was therefore enlarged (he was just a baby but was already the same size as The Bug, an adult cockroach) {{spoiler|if the Adventuring ending is canon, he travelled through time with Sam and Max, and they accidentally left him behind some time before 1901, after which he then grew up into an giant adult cockroach.}}
 
== Sam is related to Mc Gruff The Crime Dog. ==
Line 170:
 
== The commissioner is the superego of the alternate version of Past Sam ==
[https://web.archive.org/web/20130511182148/http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19994 Not mine.] If you don't feel like following that link, here's the most crucial post
 
"In case anyone needs a recap at this point:
There were three Sams. Our Sam, the Sam mentioned at the end of City that Dares not Sleep, [[Timey -Wimey Ball|and another Sam that was created during the second Sam's time travel adventures.]]
 
The second Sam is dead after transforming into a giant monster that the second Max blew up.
 
The third Sam, however, is Commissioner Sam. Commissioner Sam is, of course, the Commissioner that we know and love. But he isn't THE Commissioner. The Commissioner is Commissioner Sam's superego. Whenever The Commissioner witnesses a crime through Commissioner Sam's eyes, he takes control of Commissioner Sam. Unlike Max, Commissioner Sam has little willpower, and his superego can take over easily. The Commissioner then makes Commissioner Sam call up our Sam, who then takes out the bad guys. Commissioner Sam doesn't know that he even has this superego, however. He occasionally just wakes up next to a payphone with no idea of how he got there or why.
 
Our Sam knows all of this, and keeps it from Max to protect his fragile psyche. [[Fridge Brilliance|This is why Max can never answer the phone.]] When Max answered the phone in What's New, Beelzebub?, Commissioner Sam heard his voice and quickly grabbed the voice modulator, which he had gotten from Bosco, and used it to disguise his voice.
Line 196:
Remember Superball's comment about [[It Makes Sense in Context|"No currently acting President can enter the body of any former President"]]? And then there's all the blatent differences between [[Real Life|real]] American politics and that of their universe. My guess is that the United States in this series has a bunch of wacky laws that serve no purpose other than joke fodder, one of which is that the "Max" who {{spoiler|came from the alternate timeline where !Sam died, after the original Max got blown up in the main timeline,}} is thus not the President because he wasn't the original.
