* In What's New, Beezlebub?, Satan claims that Sam and Max helped bring about the apocalypse for selfish reasons. But the only thing they did towards that was lower Hell's efficiency, giving the Soda Poppers an excuse to fire Satan. And they did that by destroying their soul taking operation, which they did to stop a vampire from stealing people's souls and raising a zombie army to take over the world, destroying their soul crushing operation, which they did in an attempt to save Bosco, and saving some of their acquaintances from their own private Hells. Sam's escaping from his private Hell afterwards could be seen as selfish, and they did some less than moral things to accomplish their goals, but their motives seemed more pure than usual.
** It seems that the duo are police more out of boredom and for the chance to cause additional mayhem. They might just be insane, since Sam talks about justice but never justifies his actions.
*** The commissioner probably pays them pretty well, too.
*** In the comics (the first one, in fact) Max thwarts a mugging-flavored marriage proposal. Later, he mistakes a television shoot for a crime-in-progress and starts taking potshots. So there may be justice there. It's just Sam & Max flavored.
** Satan was possibly referring to all the previous encounters with the Soda Poppers in the previous season, during which Sam & Max apparently motivated the trio towards murder, full-scale war, and becoming hated enough to usurp Hell.
*In "Chariots of the Dogs," the past Sam and Max ask for help on how to get to the moon. If they really haven't even gotten on Myra's show yet, why would they ask that, when they shouldn't even know that they needed to go there to stop the season's BigBad?
** Maybe they're planning to go there for a different reason? We don't know what they did between episodes.
** Wasn't that a ShoutOut to the animated series or one of the comic books?
**It would make sense if it was a shout-out to "Bad Day on the Moon," but we know for a fact that that episode happened even long before episode 101. They actually have photos of themselves with their penny-conscious moon gear hanging in their office in "Culture Shock."
* ''Midtown Cowboys''. If you ask Mr. Pennyworth/Featherly about the show in Episode 106, he explains that the show was canceled shortly after Sam and Max appeared on it due to the Alien Love Triangle scandal in Episode 102. But by Episode 203, it's not only back, it's a huge hit. Is this improbable reversal of fate ever explained in-canon?
** RuleOfFunny, just go with it.
*** RuleOfFunny doesn't fly in ItJustBugsMe.
*** If it isn't RuleOfFunny, just take the below answer.
** The show was cancelled for a season, then brought back due to viewer demand.
* Also in "Chariots of the Dogs". What the hell is up with the timestream? There's some situations in the original timeline which clearly ''required'' Sam and Max's interference to have come about in the first place (e.g. Sam not being a nerd, Bluster Blaster being an asshole) but there's also ones that ''did not'' originally exist yet come about as a result of the interference (e.g. Max being interested in girls). Then there's the whole paradoxical StableTimeLoop with the egg. What the hell happened?
** I stopped trying to figure out the massive TimeyWimeyBall that is ''Chariots of the Dogs'' long ago. I recommend that you do the same.
**Bluster Blaster became abusive and Sam stopped being a nerd without future Sam and Max's interference. Little Sam was working on changing Bluster Blaster's personality, and he seemed to like the abusive one. And if having his screwdriver stolen made Sam give up on computers, he can't have been that interested in them in the first place. The real question is, if Mama Bosco was always obsessed with finding out who trashed her store, why was Bosco not always a cow? The effects stemmed from the same event.
***Well, actually, there's no proof that she was ALWAYS obsessed with the person who trashed her store. We only ever talk to her after Bosco becomes the cow, which means the future was altered. Bosco acts like he's spent his entire life living in fear because of her because, to him, it would have felt that way, since the future was changed. In reality, she might never have been that way before then.
* Episode 204, ''Chariots of the Dogs'', allegedly takes place a year and a half after Episode 102, ''Situation: Comedy'' (because Sam comments that their past selves forced them to "relive the past year and a half"). However, Episode 205, ''What's New, Beezlebub?'', takes place only a year after Episode 102 (because Specs mentions that the Embarrassing Idol incident occurred "one year ago today"). If you believe both of these, you must therefore accept that Episode 205 supposedly took place ''half a year before'' Episode 204, and all the plotholes that stem therefrom. [[FlatWhat What.]]
**Well, the episode was about time travel, after all. It isn't unreasonable that all the crazy time-jumping antics messed up the timeline a bit, making that timeline a distinct possibility.
** Well, according to the time cards, the Soda Poppers' birthday is on December 21, but Episode 205 starts on September 6, one year and 8 months after Situation: Comedy. Maybe Hell is in a different time zone, or something.
* I'm still a little confused as to how the projector in "The Tomb of Sammun-Mak" worked. I understand that Sam and Max could use it to see their ancestor's past, and the fact that the reels were there will most likely be explained, but how did Sameth and Maximus use information that was pulled all across time?
** They weren't just seeing it, they were ''living'' it. I think the intro cutscene makes much of that pretty clear.
*** But for the last reel of film, [[spoiler: Sam wasn't there with the projector. How was Sameth still doing anything if Sameth and Maximus were being controlled by Sam and Max?]]
*** I figure that the "astral projection" is a power of both Maximus and Max, so the two were able to interact- Maximus was able to learn what Max saw in later parts of the film and use it to obtain knowledge.
**** But Sameth is the one always using the information through time...
***** I guess Sam also has proyection with Sameth, but, since he doesn't have powers of his own, he has to be near of Max for use it. Which make sense, because, in the last reel, they aren't using any knowledge Max couldn't remember.
******I'm surprised they were able to get anything done, then. -_-
******* Speaking of which, I seem to recall that if you use the projector again once you've finished the first three reels, you get Sam saying "We've already finished the other reels" or some-such... despite that he's off screen at the time.
* One of The Soda Poppers' evil actions was introducing the ''Intelligent Design'' theory to the world. Considering that the episode focuses on the Spiritual realm, complete with Ghosts, demons, and eternal sentencing, shouldn't that mean that, within the Sam and Max universe, that the [=ID=] theory is true?
** ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve was mentioned with regards to hate empowerment of the Dark Lord, and it is possible that there is a DevilButNoGod.
** And, you know, just because you believe in God doesn't mean you believe in Intelligent Design.
* How can Sameth and Maximus be Sam and Max's ancestors if they died without having any children?
** Cloning.
** Alternatively, while Maximus seemed surprised at them having children to begin with, let's remember that Maximus IS Max's ancestor, and therefore probably has all the attention span of a hyperactive six year old. So he probably just forgot.
** Maybe they just aren't actually their great grandparents; maybe they're great grand uncles, instead. Or maybe it's just RuleOfFunny, and you shouldn't think too hard about stuff like this. Sort of like how you shouldn't wonder why the hell the projector was all set up there in the first place.
*** I think that was Norrington
** It pretty clearly said great-grandfathers and since Sameth was the one who said it, it seems likely that they do have children.
* In Beyond the Alley of the Dolls, Bosco is apparently stuck in Vegas, paying back a debt he owes a bunch of casinos. In season 1, he got enough money to take a sledgehammer to the US's economy. His debt is 20 grand. Explain.
** I thought he kept blowing his cash on more and more elaborate security systems. By episode 104, he was able to afford a ''missile defense system.'' Not to mention he briefly lost all his money to an online scam in 105 (the fortune he got simply filled an empty pot, not added to it). The sixty trillion dollars in 106 was in Canadian, meaning it probably wasn't worth much after Canada dumped the USA. And between Seasons 1 and 2 he revamps the store into a military-grade bunker, complete with red lights and plenty of lasers. Sorry to go into WMG territory, but since Sam and Max don't buy anything from him in Season 2, it's possible he ran low on funds. Hence why he taking Bluster Blaster to try and cheat Vegas casinos.
** I thought it's simpler than that: he lost it all gambling. Yes, ''all'' of it.
*** Makes sense. According to Momma Bosco, he had all, if not most, of the money from Season 1 when he left.
*Um, how was Bluster Blaster fixed? He's back to normal...
** COPS probably got fed up with his stupid and asked Sam to repair him. Sam may have forgotten a lot, but he ''was'' Bluster Blaster's creator, and probably had the blueprints lying around somewhere.
