Line #12 HoYay/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice


1	!! Comics/General
2	* Max is stated to not be attracted to women, though he seems to forget sometimes. The very first comic has a line from Sam that's been reused in practically every version since:
3	-->'''Flight Attendant:''' I've been authorized by the captain to give you boys ''anything'' you want.
4	-->'''Max:''' Then bring me all the unclothed women my poor eyes can stand!
5	-->'''Sam:''' Jesus, Max, take it easy--[[AmbiguouslyGay you don't even like girls]].
6	-->'''Max:''' Oh, yeah. In that case--how about some more of these great peanuts?
7	** Max's response in Hit the Road sounds more surprised.
8	-->'''Max:''' I don't??
9	** In "The Devil's Playhouse", he gets this line from a brain scan:
10	-->'''Skun-ka'pe:''' That's curious, my scans indicate you don't even like girls.
11	*** Technically, that would make the scan ''literal gaydar''.
12	* The Freelance Police don't just work together, but also live together and sleep in the same room, in the same (bunk) bed.
13	* There's a minor running gag across the series (mostly in the animated series and the Telltale games) of Sam calling Max cute. Max ''is'' a literal bunny, but still.
14	* WordOfGod has compared the two to [[Film.ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid Butch and Sundance,]] specifically when asked if Sam and Max are in love--you know, the two characters who are potentially the most famous example of homoerotic subtext in Western films. Need we say more?
15	* More meta, but the two of them were Steve Purcell's cake topper ''at his own wedding'', with Sam in a suit and Max in a bridal dress!
16	* Someone compiled all the HoYay moments between Sam and Max from the entire series (excluding some from the comics) in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7YC8AH34hM video.]] The result is a bit less than ''half an hour long.''
17	* [[https://imgur.com/a/EgbcMLw This line]] from the Virtual Reality game, which can be interpreted in multiple ways.
18
19	!! Hit the Road
20
21	* In the dress-up MiniGame, possible costumes for the guys include wedding clothes (Sam as the groom and Max as the bride).
22	* If you attempt to ride the Tunnel of Love while Max is trapped in the tank, Sam will refuse, saying it 'wouldn't be romantic without Max'.
23	* The player attempting to grab or pick up any character other than Max will have Sam saying "He/She's not my type".
24	* Attempting to use the [[spoiler:ropes]] on Max earns this suggestive bit of dialogue:
25	-->'''Sam:'''[[CasualKink ...maybe later.]]
26
27	!! Telltale Games
28
29	* Telltale pokes fun at this sometimes, like when Sybil Pandemik ran a dating service and told Sam his soulmate was Max, as well as a few possible jokes you can get using the wedding cake and engagement ring on Max.
30	** Although, in Sybil's position, wouldn't ''you'' do everything you could to keep either of them from breeding?
31	* In "Moai Better Blues," you see the following conversation when you examine the punching bag.
32	-->'''Sam:''' I'd hoped that after getting a punching bag for the office, Max would stop hitting me all the time.
33	-->'''Max:''' But that's how I show affection!
34	-->'''Sam:''' Well could you stop loving me so much before 6AM?
35	-->'''Max:''' No way, Sam! I could never stop loving you!
36	* Also in "Moai Better Blues": Max begging Sam to take baby Jimmy Hoffa home with them. When Sam responds with "Not now, Max", Max proceeds to say "Then when Sam? My biological clock is ticking and I'm not getting any younger."
37	* In "Culture Shock":
38	-->'''Max:''' I take my coffee green, like my men!
39	* In the second season, the hole the Maimtron 9000 shoots in the office wall ''heavily'' resembles a er... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything type of hole found in men's public restrooms]]. The [[BrickJoke payoff]] is in "What's New, Beelzebub?" While Sam's in his personal hell, Max keeps his face ''very'' close to the hole. Keeping in mind that Max's mouth is ''always'' open...
40	* From ''What's New Beelzebub?'', Sam's comment about [[spoiler:Sexy Demon Peepers]] (and Max's extremely un-self-aware response):
41	-->'''Sam:''' I hate to admit it, but [[spoiler:Peepers]] is [[StupidSexyFlanders kinda sexy]].
42	-->'''Max:''' If you're into short guys with annoying voices, I guess.
43	* Also, what happens when Max finds out that [[spoiler: Peepers took Max's place in Sam's personal hell.]] CrazyJealousGuy indeed.
44	* In "The Penal Zone", if Max is with you when you pick up the ring, he will confuse the situation for a proposal.
45	-->'''Max''': Sam, this is all so sudden. I-I don't know what to say.
46	* If you use the Ring with Max outside Mamma Bosco's Lab, you get a whole cutscene, parodying [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debeers [=DeBeers=] Commercials]], in which Sam thinks about actually giving the ring to Max, but eventually discards this with a 'nah'.
47	** The mere fact that Sam actually seems to seriously consider it says it all.
48	* Max apparently has a habit of coming up with creepy disaster scenarios that end with him eating Sam to survive. Sam is annoyed by this, so Max tells him to just "[[MeatOVision stop looking so damn tasty.]]"
49	* Also a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}, "Beyond the Alley of the Dolls" has a potential future for Sam as a reenactment of the death scene from ''Romeo and Juliet''. Max is Juliet.
50	-->'''Sam:''' And thus, with a kiss, I die! ''(dies)''
51	-->'''Max:''' Hey, guess what! [[UnexplainedRecovery I'm not really dead!]] ''(sees Sam's body)'' Ooh...awkward...
52	* In "The City That Dares Not Sleep", the [[spoiler: Spores all represent a fragment of Max's personality]]. One of them really seems to have NoSenseOfPersonalSpace.
53	** "Do you find my warmth...alarming, Sam?"
54	* As for other characters, there's the way Skun-ka'pe and Papierwaite's relationship is discussed. While their brief cooperation itself doesn't merit raising of eyebrows, everyone involved refers to the end of said cooperation as "dumping", and the two even disagree on which one of them did the dumping.
55
56
57	!! TV show
58
59	* Sam and Max are shown marrying each other in the first episode- which could've been brushed off as a joke had it not been called back to in the finale. This time, Sam's the one in the dress.
60	* In "Max's Big Day":
61	-->'''Max:''' GRAB ME BY THE EARS!
62	-->'''Sam:''' [[CasualKink You are aware]] [[ThinkOfTheChildren there are children watching, right?]]
63	* Max is made very uncomfortable whenever Sam appears to be flirting with a woman.
64	-->'''Ms. Honeybunny:''' (winks repeatedly at Sam)
65	-->'''Max:''' [[CrazyJealousGuy (shoving himself between them) You should really have that twitch looked at.]]
66	* Later on [[spoiler: they leave her alone on a raft in middle of the ocean, as Max assures her that she'll get picked up by sailors.]]
67	* In one episode, Sam and Max raise a baby alligator together in what is clearly a parody of couples' counseling reality TV shows.
68	* In ''Little Bigfoot'', Max was in Sam's pants. It almost makes a little bit more sense in context, but not much.
69	* They even have a "break-up" mini-episode in there.
70	* And to top it all off:
71	--> "You know, at moments like these, Sam and I have a special way of showing how we feel about one another"
72	** In ''The Glazed McGuffin Affair'', when Sam slaps a hysterical Max to calm him down, Max grins and says [[TooKinkyToTorture "Hit me again. I like it!"]]
73	* Another episode (which was Valentine's Day themed), they had to chase their targets into a carnival that was "Couples Only". Max had to go undercover dressed in a dress, wig, make-up, and high heels. Max's only complaint being the heels, and Sam even corrects himself by saying, "Hang on, Max! I mean Sweetie!"
