Line 388:
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: "They Stole Max's Brain!" is definitely this. It starts with a gritty noir theme with a mild hint of [[Ace Attorney]] in its gameplay, then goes to a part more befitting of the point-and-click gameplay we know. {{spoiler|Then the REAL twist comes when a pharaoh who happens to be inhabiting Max's body ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]) uses the power of the Toy Chest to planeshift the entire world into an alternate reality where he is ruler of everything, and only Max and the molemen are aware that anything is wrong.}}
** And let's not forget [[The Reveal]] and conclusion of ''Beyond the Alley of the Dolls.''
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: From Season 2's finale:
{{quote|'''Max:''' Well if ''that'' doesn't get us into hell, ''nothing'' will.}}
** Since it's about destroying a building with several people in it, including a dying child (whom Sam and Max will make sure gets to Hell), in order to raise a killer robot... That also counts as [[Crossing the Line Twice]].
*** The "people" in that building were rats. [[Funny Animal|Sentient ones]], but [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|most people wouldn't care]].
** At first, it was pretty hard to take {{spoiler|Hugh Bliss}} seriously as a villain... at least until he {{spoiler|separated Max's bliss by severing his hand, tearing out his stomach, and ripping off his tail.}}
*** Particularly when {{spoiler|he finally really snaps and screams "DIE, BUNNY" before attacking Max, who'd been [[Psycho Supporter|one of his biggest fans]] until right then. This is one of the only times in the games where Sam doesn't hesitate to shoot a villain.}}
** Damning {{spoiler|Santa Claus's}} soul to Hell, although they did bring him back.
*** The episode where they bring him back actually reveals that there's a whole wing of Hell devoted to people who Sam & Max have, either directly or indirectly, had a hand in the death of; even relatively blameless victims get sent here, so Sam & Max's involvement is the only relevant factor.
* [[Most Definitely Not a Villain]]: The staff at Ted E. Bear's [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Mafia-Free]] Playland And Casino would like to remind you that the establishment is not owned by the mafia, nor does the mafia occupy the area.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gk2Yzru3OM They even wrote a song to remind you.]
