Line 135:
* The fourth ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police|Sam & Max]]'' adventure game episode of the first season, aptly titled ''"Abe Lincoln Must Die"'', sees the titular freelance police up in arms against an evil Abraham Lincoln. Or, in this case, a massive statue of Abraham Lincoln brought to life, who then tries to run for president. The only way to defeat him is for Max to become a President Evil himself, a position he still keeps afterwards. In the third season, it is strongly implied that Max has used literally dirty means to ensure that he keeps his office.
** Max manages to remain the President even after he {{spoiler|sells the United States to}} Canada.
** For a while, there was a promotional website called [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20080429054910/http://www.maxforpresident.org/ maxforpresident.org], which contained a Donate button (not working on the Wayback Machine) which claimed to syphon dollars donated to organisations like [[Myst|the D'ni Restoration Council]], [[Grim Fandango|The Communist Party of Rubacava]], eBay, [[Monkey Island|The Melee Island Bureau of Tourism]] and Sam's Wallet into Max's funds. His fundrasing goals were things like jaunty hats for his Secretary of State, spinning rims for the DeSoto, a girlfriend for his pet goldfish Mr. Spatula, an $254 Executive Box of tissues and 'recovery of Presidential email password'.
*** And then Mr. Spatula becomes Vice-President Evil and tries to off Max, accidentally getting himself killed.
* The [[Big Bad]]s of ''[[Fallout]] 2'' and ''[[Fallout]] 3'' are President Evils, focused on cleansing the post-apocalyptic world of any dangerous mutants. Given that, under their standards, the vast majority of the irradiated planet's surface-dwelling population would qualify as a dangerous mutant, including most of the good guys, this is obviously not a fun plan. Subverted by President Tandi and Kimball of the NCR, though Kimball is a jingoistic imperialist.
