A long-awaited sequel to ''Sam & Max Hit the Road'' was announced by [=LucasArts=] in 2002, but in March of 2004 the project was [[{{Vaporware}} unceremoniously canceled]]. Fans were incensed, as were several members of the [=LucasArts=] team, who left to found their own game company: Creator/TelltaleGames. In 2005, Telltale announced they would be working with Steve Purcell to produce an episodic Sam & Max adventure game, and in late 2006, the first episode of ''Sam & Max: Season One'' was released.

!!Contains examples of:
* BaldOfEvil: Conroy Bumpus wears a wig. Max riffs at him for it, but this just gets him sent on an island in the middle of a gator-infested pond.
* BetterThanABareBulb: Hardly a trope goes unlampshaded by our heroes.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The plot revolves around a runaway Bigfoot, and there is even a Bigfoot convention! (As a side note, the terms "sasquatch" and "yeti" are used interchangeably with Bigfoot in the game).
* BrickJoke: In Shuv-Oohl's room, if you look the newspaper clippings, one of the headlines is [[spoiler:Severed Head Explodes, Destroys Bus!]]

* CentrifugalFarce: The Cone of Tragedy at the Cushman Bros. Carnival spins around at insane speeds, as befitting its name. If you ride it, you will lose all your stuff (thankfully, the lost and found collects it all in record time).
* ClarkKenting: Parodied. To sneak to the Bigfoot convention, you have to whip up a less-than-convincing Bigfoot costume. The guard recognizes you and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the trope, but will still let you in if you do him a favor.
* CrossOver: Images of Sam and Max appear in most classic Creator/LucasArts adventures, including the MonkeyIsland series.

* GreenAesop: [[SpoofAesop Spoofed]] in the ending.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: On more than one occasion, Sam uses Max as a weapon or tool. Just threatening to use him is often good enough to scare people into confessing something.
** Max can actually be seen and selected in Sam's inventory box like a regular object.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal
* HumanPopsicle: Bruno the Bigfoot, before his escape, was held as an exhibit in a block of ice. [[spoiler: Conroy and his goon in the ending.]]
* ICantUseTheseThingsTogether: The TropeNamer.
* IThinkYouBrokeHim: The eventual result if you keep insisting that Sam pick up an object that's stuck, resulting in him breaking into tears and Max berating you through the FourthWall for breaking his spirit.
-->'''Max:''' Now you've done it! You've broken Sam's spirit with your stupid attempts to pick up that silly object! In fact, if I didn't find his pitiful sobbing so amusing, I'd come out there and rip your limbs off! Just ignore them, Sam, maybe they'll go away.
* JustFriends: The opening sequence has our heroes saving a MadScientist's date from being zapped because she'd rather just be friends.
* LiveItem: Max, to the point of actually having a space in Sam's inventory bag.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Parodied with the Bigfoots.
* NapoleonComplex: Conroy Bumpus
* NoFourthWall: Sam and Max are very well aware that they're inside an adventure game.

-->'''Spoon bender:''' What are you [[SoundEffectBleep <bleep>]]ing doing?
-->'''Sam:''' Swearing in longhand, asterisk-mouth.
* VillainSong: Conroy Bumpus' "King of the Creatures" song.
* WasntThatFun: Often invoked by Max, such as this example from ''Sam and Max Hit the Road'', after the "Cone of Tragedy" ride has given Sam a cardiac arrest [[spoiler: but in reality all of his stuff has been thrown off the ride.]]:
--> '''Max''': Ooh, I feel tragically empty.
--> '''Sam''': Me too. It's as though an integral part of my essence has been ripped from my being.
--> '''Max''': Let's do it again!
* WeightAndSwitch: Used to get [[spoiler:Conroy's toupee]].
* WhyAmITicking:
--> '''Max''': Sam, either termites are burrowing through my skull or one of us is ticking.
--> '''Sam''': Ooops. Oh yeah. ''(Pulls out head/bomb of the robot mad scientist they just dispatched in the intro).'' [[HeroicComedicSociopath Max, where should I put this so that it doesn't hurt anyone we know or care about?]]
--> '''Max''': Out the window, Sam! There's nothing but strangers out there.
* WorldOfChaos / {{Wackyland}}: The Mystical Vortex. Even by the [[WorldOfWeirdness standards of this universe]], this place is damn weird.
* WorldOfSnark
* YaoiFangirl: Implied with the bungee jumping instructor, who flirts obviously with Sam, but then lets him and Max use the apparatus for free because she has '[[FurryFandom a soft spot for dog-and-rabbit couples]]'. Sam is predictably disturbed.
