it's incredible that sam is willing to throw a man from a clocktower without hesitating because he almost killed max, imagine if he actually did killed him
I like how Lorne opened by saying “hi Max” like he knew only Max would fall for it since he’s so desperate to finally answer the phone. He really knows them down to a disturbing T
In a normal cartoon, Sam and Max would ultimately treat Lorn as a supervillain in his own right, arresting him and freeing the other villain. Which is what I expected when I first watched this episode. But instead, they appreciate Lorn's efforts and regulate him to running an internet blog. Extremely creative and useful!
It's honestly the best solution. He is a fan in the end despite being overly obsessive, why punish him for that when they can just let him channel that to something less destructive.
Indeed. Contrast this with the nerd villain in the Powerpuff girls. A character who only exists to demean anyone over the age of 10 and male that liked the Powerpuff girls enough to collect merch (which is one of the reasons why the show went on for as long as it did and keeps getting remade).
@@mushmush4980 I mean, most of the time they’re smiling or indifferent to everything, even in life threatening and/or anger inducing scenarios, I’d say this is pretty rare
I agreed, especially those real people stan. People go so far to just breath the air as there favorite police guy's. Lorne is a great depiction of that kinda person.
I love the little scene 3:08 - 3:13 with Sam and Max in complete disbelief that Lorne is holding back the cosmically unstoppable force that is the Desoto.
For any commentor who is reading this and is confused: The Desoto is Sam(the dog) and Max(the rabbit)'s car which is in basically,a time machine,submarine, and space shuttle on wheels
I just realized what it is that makes this the best show ever to me. Its like gay scooby doo without the repetition of formulaic time padding. We get introduced to new characters at such breakneck pace in an incredibly organic way. I've always been awed by the writing of sam and max, but i only just have come to appreciate how truly distinct each and every episode is. The dialogue is on a league of it own in any media ever, but so many aspects of the worldbuilding is done impeccably
a bit of trivia. sam and max were created by a kid at school who doodled comics of them. His brother loved them so much he drew them as well and pestered his brother to create more comics: to the point he made a crude contract and on his birthday passed on his creation to his brother. The now proud owner of his brothers creation went on to make and publish sam and max comics and even made a game, series and i believe a job at teltale; using this to make more games. Today i realised lorne could be the current owner of sam and max, how his brother saw him as annoying all those years ago.
Wacko Doodle Kinda fitting XD and Sam and max seems to react to him accordingly, annoyed yet amused by his antics when done right and show appreciation when allowed to shine
Not entirely accurate. They were originally conceived by the creators brother, who would often leave unfinished comics lying around the house. The man who created it would often "finish" these Comics, and have the characters do things like mix up each other's names and mock the art style. The contract part is true though.
@@3dgyt33n3 and also draw there left hand with the right thumb and the right hand with the left thumb. I got the feeling Steve wasn't a very nice brother, then again it did lead to him being able tot own the rights to Sam and Max. So it all worked out in the end.

Love how I'm finding out about this show TWELVE YEARS LATER... *sigh* wish I knew about this show when it was on air. Reminds me of the good old days. Animaniacs, catdog, ed edd eddy, etc. This show is another example of the embodiment of my childhood. Good cartoons, good shows
"For the love of Mike, Sam" Was max refereing St. Michael, archangel and general of Heaven's army? And did he call him just "Mike"? Because that is very in-character for Max.
to anyone who doesnt know you can get all the episodes on dvd or digital download for about 20 dollars on amazon, you can also buy the comics there just found this out myself after seeing a few episodes of sam and max. wanted to see more episodes and own it
So, I just realized, Lorne (The Friend for Life!) has a very similar design to the mad, lovesick scientist (who was also a robot/literal ticking time bomb) from the Sam & Max Hit the Road PC game. I wonder if it's a coincidence....
6:32 hol up, "get used to it"? ...sam, do you need to tell us something..? edit: yes I know sam wasn't making an innuendo, and I know they are (at least I'm pretty sure) canonically a couple
I love the anime, the games, and the manga. I’ve gotten all the games at home along with the manga volumes with the anime blu-ray. I am such a weeb. The scene where Makkusu dies while Samu watches makes me extremely depressed. Yet it has some of the most hilarious and dirty scenes of all time, even though the anime had to tone the series down. One of the greatest Japanese franchises of all time.

i kind of like lorne i have to be honest. his jingle is really catchy and he's not so stupid that it's comical. he sets up all of this stuff and even captures the mad thespian. he's just using his skills in one of the most useless ways possible. and his voice actor is clearly having a ton of fun and is giving it his all

I absolutely love that they responded positively to Lorne's deathtrap.
"For the love of Mike, Sam"
Was max refereing St. Michael, archangel and general of Heaven's army?
And did he call him just "Mike"?
Because that is very in-character for Max.
"For the love of mike" is a pre-existing idiom. There's even a movie named after it.
I really want a Sam & Max and Pinky & Brain crossover.
It’ll never happen.
Lorne legend has it that he is still there working on his site 😂
