{{quote|'''General Skunkape:''' I bring all the molemen on a wonderful off-world vacation they're ''never'' forget! (I don't kill them).}}
* [[Symbol Swearing]]: And don't forget the writing lessons of Timmy Two-Teeth in "What's New, Beelzebub?"
* [[T-Word Euphemism]]: From "The Penal Zone":▼
{{quote|'''Sam:''' Spider-webs and spooky houses go together like well-dressed dogs and naked bunnies.▼
'''Max:''' How many times have I told you not to use the "b-word", Sam? }}▼
* [[Take That]]: In 'Reality 2.0', while examining a ballet poster:
{{quote|'''Sam:''' Ferret Lake.
Line 545 ⟶ 548:
** Look it works like this: {{spoiler|Remember in The Chariots Of The Dogs when Sam and Max from the First Season stole the time machine of the Second Season Sam and Max? And then when the alien ship started to blow up, Season One Sam and Max stole it again, leaving Season Two Sam and Max on the ship? Season One Sam and Max became Sam X and Max X when they made those choices. Sam X got the powers instead, and Max X had to blow him up. From there, he somehow got the time machine to go to the canon Sam's timeline. The End.}}
*** In addition, {{spoiler|Past Max doesn't say that Past Sam had ''psychic'' powers. He had ''[[Psycho Electro|electromagnetic]]'' powers. Something ''crazy'' presumably went down, leading to Past Sam getting those electromagnetic powers. This didn't happen in Current Sam's timeline, so he didn't become a monster. Presumably, Past Max also has The Gift, but didn't encounter any Toys of Power.}}
* [[The Three Trials]]: Happens often enough in the [[Telltale Games]] adventures that the duo catch on and start [[Lampshading]] it.▼
** Averted in The Penal Zone. Since the episodes aren't isolated incidents, it follows more of a narrative sense, usually only having one trial at a time. Maybe two.▼
* [[This Trope Is Bleep]]: When Myra is interviewing the Soda Poppers in "Situation: Comedy", their answers have many words arbitrarily bleeped out, resulting in moments like Specs admitting that he regrets not having *bleep*ed his brother.
** In "The Tomb of Sammun-Mak:
Line 552 ⟶ 553:
Sameth: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Because most people are * bleep * ed , Maximus.]] }}
** In "What's New, Beelzebub?", {{spoiler|Hugh Bliss}} works as a *bleep*er. Specifically, he applies [[Sound Effects Bleep|Sound Effects Bleeps]] to any and all profanity. Even innocuous stuff like "doo-doo", "freakin'", {{spoiler|"peacock", and the name "Dick"}}. Eventually, his list of swears gets replaced with {{spoiler|Satan's grocery list}}, causing him to start bleeping words like "vanilla" and "soda". And yes, this does cause the Soda Poppers to be referred to as the "*bleep* Poppers" for the rest of the game.
▲* [[The Three Trials]]: Happens often enough in the [[Telltale Games]] adventures that the duo catch on and start [[Lampshading]] it.
▲** Averted in The Penal Zone. Since the episodes aren't isolated incidents, it follows more of a narrative sense, usually only having one trial at a time. Maybe two.
* [[Time Travel]]: "Chariots of the Dogs" in spades.
** "The Tomb of Sammun-Mak" plays with this. On the surface, Sam and Max are just changing the reels on the projector to skip to different parts of the movie. But the way Sammeth and Maximus use clues from later reels to solve puzzles in earlier reels - for example, {{spoiler|their toy idea}} - definitely draws a parallel to straighter uses of time travel. Maximus's menu of psychic powers ''does'' refer to the movie reel as "Astral Projection", so there's definitely ''something'' going on...
Line 562 ⟶ 565:
* [[Trouser Space]]: During a brief [[Freaky Friday Flip|body swap]] in "Night of the Raving Dead", Sam's first comment (in Max's body) was "So that's where you keep your gun!", which implies Max has the gun somewhere on his person, raising this as a possibility.
** {{spoiler|This is an actual location}} in ''The Devil's Playhouse.''
▲* [[T-Word Euphemism]]: From "The Penal Zone":
▲{{quote|'''Sam:''' Spider-webs and spooky houses go together like well-dressed dogs and naked bunnies.
▲'''Max:''' How many times have I told you not to use the "b-word", Sam? }}
* [[Uncancelled]]: Season 1 is effectively this to the cancelled [[LucasArts]] sequel, which also would have been the series' jump to 3D.
* [[Undercover As Lovers]]: In "Beyond the Alley of the Dolls." When Flint Paper demands to know who Girl Stinky's mysterious Mr. S is, she claims that it's Sam and that they've been carrying on a torrid love affair for years, all before Sam can come up with a different story. Since he's trying to figure out what Stinky's actually up to, he [[Embarrassing Cover Up|has to go along with it.]] Cue [[Fake-Out Make-Out|what may qualify]] for the [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] of that episode.
Line 570:
'''Max:''' Y'know, Sam, that whole Stinky-kissing thing kinda made ''me'' wish for he sweet release of death, too.
'''Sam:''' I know, little buddy, but it'll be worth it if we can track Stinky to the REAL Mr. S who's controlling all these Sam clones. }}
* [[Unhand Them, Villain!]]: Sam and Max do this to Jimmy Two Teeth in "Culture Shock".
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Done a lot, not just with the main characters, but nobody questions how Hugh Bliss can change color? Even magic can't excuse that!
