Tropes:
- Back for the Finale: Nearly every single character from the past four episodes, and two deceased characters from the previous season (Brady Culture and Hugh Bliss), all come back in one way or another in this episode. Even Myra Stump appears during the credits at the wedding.
- Bait-and-Switch: Tiny Timmy's speech is mostly censored but it's later revealed that most of the words are actually harmless...except for Peeper's real name (Dick Peacock) which is a puzzle Sam and Max must solve.
- Big Bad: Initially believed to be Satan, until it's revealed that the Soda Poppers have ousted him in a sort of corporate coup.
- Brick Joke: Two of them from previous episodes:
- In "Ice Station Santa", Sam and Max send Santa's sleigh into the future, where it helps them get out of Hell.
- The Stinger reveals the Soda Poppers melting from the lava from "Moai Better Blues".
- Censored for Comedy: Sam and Max have to get around Hell's "censorship board" by replacing the list of "naughty" words with Satan's grocery list to get Tiny Tim to reveal Peeper's real name. This leads to things like the Soda Poppers being referred to as the "(bleep) Poppers" for the rest of the game.
- Chekhov's Gag: Sybil answering Max that he can officiate their wedding "when they serve ice cream in Hell".
- Cue the Flying Pigs: If you have Max ask if he can officiate Sybil and Abe Lincoln's wedding, Sybil only remarks that it will happen "when they serve ice cream in Hell". Sure enough, due to Santa's sleigh and an ice cream truck, yes, ice cream is served in Hell.
- To be clear, that's not the only strange side effect. Hell has literally frozen over, Sam decides to let Max answer the phone (and even decide to lose some weight), and Max has also apparently won the Nobel Peace Prize.
- Deal with the Devil: Sam makes one completely unintentionally, trading his soul for those of Bosco, the Desoto, Grandpa Stinky, Santa and his elf.
- The Dog Was the Mastermind: It turns out the mastermind behind this season's disasters was The Soda Poppers, using The Power of Hate to become demons and then using Sam and Max to deliberately foil their plans across the season to oust Satan and rule over Hell themselves.
- Evil Costume Switch: Parodied; during the final confrontation with the Soda Poppers, they change into their "demon outfits". Whizzer and Peepers put on black versions of their Soda Poppers costumes with flame decals, while Specs puts on a ridiculous spiked S&M get-up and chides his brothers for their lack of imagination.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: The Soda Poppers are dispatched by being tossed into a lava pit. And then the Bermuda triangle from "Moai Better Blues" appears to dump a metric ton of lava directly on top of them, melting them. Only Peepers' eyeballs remain, and are last seen floating away.
- Gratuitous Mariachi Band: T-H-E-M are summoned one last time to perform at an impromptu birthday party for the Soda Poppers.
- Hollywood Exorcism: The Soda Poppers use the "bell, book, and candle" routine to banish Sam and Max to a fiery pit in the lowest depths of Hell. The final puzzle involves Sam and Max returning the favor to defeat the Soda Poppers.
- I Know Your True Name: Sam and Max have to learn Peepers' true name from Tiny Tim to keep him from seducing Sybil with dark magic, which is a problem as it's been censored. It turns out to be Dick Peacock.
- Innocently Insensitive: After Sybil announces her upcoming marriage to Lincoln, Max asks if it's a Shotgun Wedding. Sybil is initially offended, until she realizes Max probably doesn't know what that means.Sam: Just let him have his fantasy.
- Killed Off for Real: The Soda Poppers are melted by the lava from the second season's second episode.
- Mundane Afterlife: Hell (or what Sam and Max see of it) is a drab office where it's always 4:59 PM on a Monday, the coffee is cold, and the break-room refrigerator doesn't work properly.
- This may also be a case of Self-Deprecation, as the offices of Hell were modeled after the offices of Telltale Games.
- Noodle Incident: Apparently Whizzer has been married four times, but one of the marriages was annulled, and another was declared unconstitutional.
- Oh Wait, This Is My Grocery List: Weaponized. Hugh Bliss keeps a list of words on his cubicle wall for the purpose of bleeping them whenever they are said. Later, Sam must swap out the list with a grocery list that Satan wrote on office stationery. This in turn uncensors Timmy Two-Teeth's mildly profane speech, while bleeping out the names of multiple food items (and leading to the Soda Poppers being called the @#$% Poppers for the rest of the game).
- Read the Fine Print: Sam doesn’t, and ends up trapped in his personal hell for it.
- Seven Dirty Words: Hugh Bliss, working for the FCC, keeps a list of censored words on his cubicle wall. Both the original list and the replacement grocery list consist of seven words, which is likely a reference to George Carlin's original routine.
- Sympathy for the Devil: Literally. Satan, who was revealed to be working for the Soda Poppers after a corporate shake-up, is fired soon after the big reveal, and it's not played for laughs.
- Take That!: The Soda Poppers justify taking over as the rulers of Hell by citing "current market place realities and underlying economic considerations", which was the excuse used by executives at Lucasarts for the cancellation of the Sam and Max: Freelance Police game in March 2004.
- The Three Trials: Sam and Max have to free their friends and allies (Bosco and the Desoto, Santa Claus and the possessed elf, and Grandpa Stinky) from eternal torment in Hell (and Sam has to free himself, too), stop the Soda Poppers's attempts to corrupt the world, and then defeat the Soda Poppers.
- The Unishment: Brady Culture actually enjoys working in hell, despite the minor annoyances.
