S&M Surfin’ the Highway: two young plucky fake cops settling into their violent manchild lifestyle, protective and jealous of one another, entry level gays living that hedonistic gadabout lifestyle
Lucasarts S&M Hit the Road: the young fake cops are now on another road trip, this time full of romantic fun times in various tourist traps, like riding the tunnel of love, jumping into a giant plastic mackeral together, and diving into a gunky tar pit while avoiding unwanted female attention … just two homeboys enjoying a slice of that all american pie
Nelvana’s S&M Freelance Police: the edgiest shit Nelvana’s done since Rock and Rule, some kind of very happy future in which Sam and Max have sorted out their homoerotic feelings for each other and are happily married and have adopted a little girl, and an alligator on one occasion. They have a house with a little picket fence in the suburbs and Sam is finally comfortable with his Stephen King-like body. I can’t make this shit up.
Telltale’s S&M games: could be like a prequel to the TV series. They are aware of their blatant gayness and repress it with impunity because that shit ain’t MANLY. At least Sam does it the most, because he’s ashamed of his body and has intimacy issues. But they’ll figure themselves out in time.
Bonus: Poker Night 2: Sam and Max are planning to get married after the Devil’s Playhouse fiasco. They’re raising the money by gambling it all at The Inventory. Max has settled comfortably into his role as Sam’s heckling wife. They are content.
I think pre-devil’s playhouse this was the only way for max to confess his feelings for sam. the agony.
(For context in case you don't remember he says friend with like, disdain almost, or maybe just scepticism)
This whole mini segment in the middle of the fight scene was just great.
he has such a way with words
