Sam & Max Save The World

  • "I'll get your vices back, Max, or kill us both trying!" "I love you, too."
  • "You're the best friend I ever had, Sam!"
    • "And you're mine, little buddy."

Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space

  • "It was a baaad day on the moon/and then a saaad day on the moon/and an okaaay daaay on the moon/when Max came yakking back to me..."
  • In "Moai Better Blues", when you inspect the punching bag in the office, a little back-and-forth ends with this:
    Max: No way, Sam! I could never stop loving you!
    • It's a little less heartwarming in context; two lines ago Max had mentioned that violence was how he showed affection.
  • When talking to Little Sam and Max in "Chariots of the Dogs," they can't resist ribbing the younger versions of themselves; but Little Sam retorts that he doesn't need them, because he doesn't need anyone else but Max, who never makes fun of him.
    • "That's right! ...poindexter."
    • There's also the way Future Max looks after Future Sam, who's grown hopelessly senile from all his adventuring. Future Max doesn't show anything but compassion and understanding towards the old duffer.
  • "You'll crack me up, future Max!"
    • "Don't I crack you up now, Sam?"
  • In the finale for "Chariots of the Dogs," when they're about to go through the Bermuda Triangle, Max helps pull Sam up and smooths down his tie for him. It's easy to miss little affectionate moments like that, but they're there.
    • Most of the truly adorable or heartwarming moments are incredibly easy to miss, since they're just slipped in like that. For instance; in "Ice Station Santa," when Sam and Max are trying to climb up the foliage to reach the chimney of Santa's workshop, Max keeps slipping down and finally just throws himself onto Sam's back.
  • In "What's New Beelzebub", inside the elf's personal hell, you can select "Let's be friends forever!" if you talk to Max.
    Sam: "I hope when we die, they put our hells close to each other."
    Max: "It'll be like a slumber party that never ends!"
  • A slightly twisted one, but how much Sam misses Max when he's stuck in his own personal hell with Peepers as a partner at the end.
    • After being locked in their closet for 2 seasons, and having the exact same situation for his personal hell, Sam throws a bone and promises Leonard to get him out of his hell. Once Max kills the demon, He’s freed and is later seen attending Sybil and Abe’s wedding, finally free (but for whatever reason still hasn’t removed the tape from his mouth).
  • The ending. As ridiculous as the idea of Sybil marrying the Lincoln Memorial is, that doesn't change how oddly heartwarming it is to see the entire cast just relax and have fun together after the insanity of the rest of the season.
  • In the Skunkape remaster, during the De Soto minigame in 'Night of the Raving Dead,' sending a disc towards a certain house will activate this adorable easter egg.
    Clementine: Thank you, Sam and Max!
