* [[Adventure Couple]]: Sam and Max, natch, who are also [[Heterosexual Life Partners]].
* [[All There in the Manual]]: According to [[Telltale Games]] commentary on Season One, Creator [[Steve Purcell]] has a list of mandates he gives to the writers of various Sam And Max projects, the biggest being that Sam And Max, despite all the havoc they wreck, are always on the side of good.

** Also Yog Soggoth from Season 3.
* [[Fastball Special]]: One of the ways Sam uses Max as a weapon. It usually ends with Max biting into the skull of whoever he's being thrown at.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: All the time.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Most of the games, at least until Telltale Seasons 2 and 3.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: {{spoiler|Max's (temporary) death}}, (and Sam's reaction to it) in ''Bad Day on the Moon'' is a surprisingly somber scene.
Line 124:
* [[They Fight Crime]]: Sometimes on purpose.
{{quote| '''Sam:''' "I'm Sam. He's Max. We bust punks."}}
