History YMMV / PokerNight2

* JustHereForGodzilla: While the game does have it's good share of content and reason for people to buy it, the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' and ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' DLC unlockables were the main, and for some- ''only'' reason for many players to buy this game.

* CargoShip: Ash and [[spoiler: Wendy, who was the Nechronomicon in the guise of a woman.]] He wasn't aware of it at the time, though.

* TheScrappy: Some have been feeling this about [=GlaDOS=]

-->'''Sam''': You don't even like...whatever gender they are.

* GatewaySeries: Just like the first game, particularly in regards to WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers and Franchise/EvilDead.

--> '''Max''': Yowza!

** Max apparently has a rare, "Naked Ash" variant action figure.
--> Max: Yowza!

** In ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInverntory'', Max recalled a story about Flint Paper beating up Artie Flopshark (deceased) because he was a teaching a "made-up" game called Omaha and "scamming" people. Guess what's an actual alternative to Texas Hold Em' for ''Poker Night 2''?

* HilariousInHindsight: In ''Poker Night 1'', Max recalled a story about Flint Paper beating up Artie Flopshark (deceased) because he was a teaching a "made-up" game called Omaha and "scamming" people. Guess what's an actual alternative to Texas Hold Em' for ''Poker Night 2''?
** In the first game, Strong Bad asks Max if he's a "[[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Poke-mon]]". The sequel features two characters who happen to be named Ash and Brock.

* MemeticMutation: DiscussedTrope. Claptrap tries to invoke a ForcedMeme to become popular on the Internet, and Brock dismisses him, saying a true CatchPhrase comes from the heart. He even cites Ash's "Groovy." as an example.
* TaintedByThePreview: "Oh, sweet! Brock and Ash in the same game! Creator/PatrickWarburton and Creator/BruceCampbell will be slinging mud at each other!-- Wait, what do you mean [[https://twitter.com/GroovyBruce/status/318912587511259137 Bruce isn't voicing Ash here]]?"

** Within the same game: Ash thinks highly of the fact that Brock is like a second dad to Hank and Dean, and Ash says he's thinking of starting a family himself with Wendy, provided his "swimmers" are good enough. Once you unlock the full Evil Dead set, GLaDOS mentions to Ash that [[spoiler: when he time-travelled back to the 14th century, he ''did'' end up getting a woman pregnant, despite sleeping with her "once, twice tops". Said woman ended up being one of Brock's ancestors, therefore, Ash is related to him through time-travel. Whoops!]]

* ThatOneAchievement: Fortunately, unlike the first game, there's none requiring you to get specific hands. Unfortunately, "We are the 1%", requires you to get $1,000,000 in lifetime balance, which means winning several games in a row without losing too much. If you're not good at Poker, you're not gonna be getting this for a long long time,

* CrackShip: One of the PS3 unlockable skins seems to hint Claptrap has a crush on GLaDOS. He's where Chell was when GLaDOS awoke in the sequel, offering her a rose.
