History YMMV / PokerNight2

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In one full group conversation, Claptrap suggests that the four of them, representing the four main branches of geek culture, should make a conglomerate. When asked about his contract working for Creator/GearboxSoftware, he launches into an angry rant that gets interrupted by [[{{Brainwashing}} a visible override]] as he praises his company. Amusing enough in the context of Gearbox, which has done well for itself, but considering the future finanacial situation and public opinion of the company making ''this'' game, Creator/TelltaleGames...

* AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntQ7IlMUwms A jazz cover of]] [[Videogame/{{Portal}} Still Alive]].

* HeReallyCanAct: Yes, that is Danny Webber from ''Film/{{Birdemic}}'' doing a surprisingly good Bruce Campbell impression, good enough to fool many into thinking it was a pseudonym for Campbell himself.

** Ash complaining about not letting franchises die is even funnier after the announcement that more ''Evil Dead'' movies are on the way.

* TaintedByThePreview:
** The lack of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' characters hasn't been met with much warmth from the fanbase desperate for a sign that the site ain't dead.

* JustHereForGodzilla: While the game does have its 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.
** Some people bought the game just to see [[GLaDOS everyone's favorite homicidal AI]] as a dealer.
* MostAnnoyingSound: Sam's line "Great day in the morning!" becomes rather irritating after hearing it for nearly every all-in.
** GLaDOS says, "Well, that was a clever move that won't come back to bite you in your ample posterior" WAY too often.

* CrackShip: Claptrap has a crush on [=GLaDOS=], and he constantly tries to put the moves on her, much to her chagrin. Even in one of the PS3 unlockable skins, he's where Chell was when [=GLaDOS=] awoke in the sequel, offering her a rose.

** It's hard to get if you're playing honestly, anyway. It's quite easy to get if you cheat by SaveScumming.

** In the first game, Strong Bad asks Max if he's a "[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Poke-mon]]". The sequel features two characters who happen to be named Ash and Brock.

** [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} No, not that Ash and Brock.]]

** "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]]?"

* TheOtherDarrin:
** Lampshaded by Claptrap who asks Sam and Max what happened to their voices since ''Hit the Road'' and ''WesternAnimation/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' (directly referencing the former's tone). Sam claims he started seeing a speech coach and Max just never stopped using a Jason Alexander impression and his voice slowly changed as a result.
** Not mentioned, however, with Ash's voice actor change. He's not played by Bruce Campbell, for unknown reasons, and voiced by Danny Webber.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Back during the SamAndMaxHitTheRoad days, one of the writers wrote a "Love Theme" for the game that was never used. It ends up finally being heard with the full Sam & Max 25th Anniversary set unlocked, as Claptrap, Brock, Ash, [=GLaDOS=], and Winslow serenade Sam and Max with it.
-->'''Sam''': ...That was weird.

* CrackShip: Claptrap has a crush on GLaDOS, and he constantly tries to put the moves on her, much to her chagrin. Even in one of the PS3 unlockable skins, he's where Chell was when GLaDOS awoke in the sequel, offering her a rose.

** 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" aren't cursed. 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!]]

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

* HeReallyCanAct: Yes, that is Danny Webber from Film/{{Birdemic}} doing a surprisingly good Bruce Campbell impression, good enough to fool many into thinking it was a pseudonym for Campbell himself.

** Max's new voice actor is known for playing Lexaeus in the KingdomHearts series. Sam's old voice actor played Goofy, who assists the hero, Sora, in defeating the Organization Lexaeus works for.

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