Hi everyone!!! I just thought I would clear up some things that I’ve seen a lot of people asking about: This series is called Sam & Max. It’s a media franchise which first began as a series of comics, before expanding into video games, a cartoon, and lots of other stuff. The song that plays at the end is called ‘4:59’ by Jared Emerson-Johnson / Bay Area Sound. It’s from Sam and Max: What’s New Beelzebub (205). The clips at 1:53 , 11:50 , and 16:44 are from the audio commentaries recorded for the Telltale Sam and Max games. The people speaking in these clips are various members of the team responsible for creating the games (you can find these on RUclips). Yes! In the cartoon, Sam has the same voice actor as King Koopa. They were both voiced by Harvey Atkin. (In the Telltale games Sam is voiced by David Nowlin, and in Sam and Max Hit the Road he is voiced by Bill Farmer)
@@amarikristopher8409 that scene is from sam and max: beyond the alley of the dolls, episode 304 of the telltale games. It's one of sam's potential futures after he goes through the dimensional destabilizer.
At first I thought there were going to be no actual gay moment and it was just two friends well being friends, but the evidence doesn't lie and I'm so glad sam and max invented gay people.
There's a trope where a character prevents another character from being as dangerous as they could be. It's called a morality chain. I.E. if character A has the potential to become incredibly dangerous but B stops them, B is A's morality chain One of the titular characters is the other's morality chain and you're probably wrong about which is which and this fact is so insane to me considering how they normally are.
The "I like my coffee like I like my men, green" line is even better for this video than it might seem at first, because it has been stated before that both Sam and Max are colorblind, making green and brown look the same. And notice how Sam is brown? Yeah, subtle but I would find it hard to believe that it wasn't intentional, especially with how well thought out all the jokes in this series are.
@@SoUniqueUserhe’s colorblind, i dont think that swaps colors as much as it does make certain colors look like other ones. Brown and green are the same, not swapped
One thing I'd love to add, there's an official Valentines Day art where Sam has his arm around a female dog and they're both sitting on a bench. A cupid Max has fired a couple of arrows through Sam's chest and Sam is visibly lovestruck....At first you may think it disproves Freelance Husbands, but if you look closer at the picture, it's not the female dog Sam is looking at. He's looking at Max. Plus, in a Reddit AMA by one of the Telltale developers, when someone asked if Sam and Max were dating or married, they responded that their relationship "transcends petty notions of dating and marriage". These two are so obviously soulmates
okay but deadass??? I think it’s kind of adorable that Sam pretty much just goes completely Noir every time Max is even remotely in danger. like at 0:39 - Max didn’t end up getting hurt, but he almost WAS, and you can see the change in Sam’s usual demeanor as he LITERALLY STARTS SNARLING AND GROWLING-
They literally did that for eachother. With Sam it's if Max does or almost gets injured, and for Max it's if someone claims to be Sam's best (boy)friend other than Max. It's amazing how they go into kill mode for eachother ❤️
The writers may say it, but the creator says he likes to leave it up to the interpretation of the people. Either way, I see that there’s no possible conclusion other than that they are a couple.
@@adoritowithlegs6468 This is correct. Mr. Purcell has said that as long as it's funny, it doesn't really matter. xD I think this applies towards the writers as well. Lol
Prucell the original creator leaves it up to the audience to interpret, and Telltale have definitely taken advantage of that for many such good memories with the two characters.
I genuinely cannot grasp what the running “you don’t even like girls” gag is even supposed to be if it’s not “Max is gay but also keeps forgetting that he’s gay”. There is no heterosexual explanation for it.
I've never been the guy to outright call two male characters that are really friendly with each other gay without the creators confirmation... but COME ON ITS SO OBVIOUS
Max: I’m married to my career Sam: they had the ceremony in Canada, because it’s legal there *game: came out in 2006* *Canada: Same sex marriage was legal in 2005* 👀
And you know it's not because they got on bad terms or anything, they either a: had something bad happen on their wedding and wanted to do over, or b: had another wedding for shits and giggles
Video game Sam: Clearly loves Max and occasionally pokes fun at their relationship and field of duty. Cartoon Sam: Will straight up murder anyone in a two meter radius if he finds a single missing strand of fur from his bunny. Video game Max: Occasionally forgets he doesn't like girls Cartoon Max: Fully aware of the shipping material he and Sam have for the internet. Edit: Wow, this exploded...
I can’t believe the most perfect depiction of a healthy married couple I’ve ever seen is from Sam & Max. They are the embodiment of what marriage should look like
With all the gay-shippings here, this is actually a thing that would make the most sense to me. Sam is bi and Max is...I would say most of the time he's aromantic, but then again in the video game that changed, so idk. And because they know that + because they know how their situation looks like (2 dudes, chilling in one apartment), they continously poke fun at their "relationship".
i hope op knows they singlehandedly revived the entire fandom. this is like the holy bible but for sam & max. like half the sam and max fans i meet got into it bc of this video (me included)😭. i cant thank u enough op ur doing the God’s work💖
Max's short memory makes him forget he doesn't have to sound straight to assimilate around his gay husband anymore. It's been 25 years, you don't need to hit on girls you don't like for your image any more, little buddy!
"Hit me again, I like it." "Maybe later." "You are aware there are children watching, right?" "Let's give ourselves tongue baths." So they're *THAT* type of couple.
if it was 6 minutes long i would've been like 'oh it's a joke people are just overreacting'. I'm happy it's 25 minutes long- this is the type of couples I want to see. Not too much lovely-dovely forced shit and just two bros in love making jokes.
"I love you Hugh Bliss" "Hi I'm not Hugh Bliss" "I HATE you" This entire exchange made me laugh probably cause of how bluntly he says it after gushing over him.
"mmm... SHES PRETTY! But I have a standing rule against dating anyone who can use me to dig boogers out of their nose." "But Max you don't even like girls.."
I assumed him and Sam were asexual but like to throw in as many random sexual innuendos as possible for the sake of comedy and remembering their sense of humor to keep their sanity while confronting dangerous adventures
@@misspenguin6215 Steve Purcell did that, I believe. But yeah, the creator of Mao Mao. He commented on a shipping post on Tumblr. It was between Mao Mao and Badgerclops, and folks were busy being shippers and all, saying that they're like a cute domestic couple. Which, to be fair, it makes a bit of sense to believe that when those two are raising a kid together and live in the same house and do other domestic things with each other. But Parker, he randomly swooped in and said that they could "ship them if they liked," but went on to say that he went out of his way to write an affectionate male friendship because he's apparently never seen such a thing in cartoons before. (Ed edd n Eddy, Fosters, etc, they have stuff like this all the time) He finished off his comment by saying that portraying such a relationship is "more important", implying that a gay romance isn't as important. Needless to say, it landed him in hot water with lots of fans.
I genuinely can’t tell if this is a franchise aimed at kids with an insane way too much amount of dirty jokes or if it’s like panty and stocking with a cutesy kids type art style but for adults
I swear.... everyone gotten into this fandom more recently because of this video. Seriously, most of the people I've met after joining this fandom has did the same thing. Watched this video, falls in love with the gay duo, and then gets hooked. It happened to me. It happened to all of us. *This video is a supernatural being...*
I remember playing Sam and max on my iPod touch years ago- it had something to do with Santa or the North Pole? I lost my iPod and couldn’t remember the name of these two until I saw fanart pop up on Instagram
Having watched 15 of 25 minutes, played all the games, and seen all of the cartoon's episodes, it looks like it was mostly made by someone who a) isn't aware that the franchise is a comedy, written for comedy's sake, b) can't conceive of a relationship built on surviving danger ( such as many policemen and military professionals have) rather than on mutual infatuation ("love"), d) can't conceive of anybody not wanting sex or being able to joke about it without being a lusty horndog, and e) is trying to sell an idea before which there is presently a bottomless demand. I've been a fan of their work for a decade or more. It's a thought that never came to mind. And doesn't stick. What does stick is the funny thought that a lot of people want to say Sam and Max are gay, as if that's affirmative of something they would like to be. And I find that very, very funny. Such people might also wish to check out Welcome to Night Vale.
9:57-Dude, that specific moment is probably one of the most genuinely affectionate and warm moments of them all tho. It's all in the way Sam says it that you can tell he's just absolutely head over heels for that rabbit.
@@anxietyprimev6983 1. I'd like to say "why?" but you said you lack explanation so I shall respect that. 2. Where the actual fuck did that come from??? 3. I just wanna say that I hope you have a really great week :D
@@RandomPerson-kz9uf Well, I mean, I have an explanation, I just don't have a good one. All I can really say is that it's supposed to be Yuri's thighs.
the way that max says “shh shh stop it sam stop it im okay im okay” in the second clip ALWAYS gets me.... its so so so much softer than like any of his other line deliveries in the cartoon and
Ok but I adore this part at 0:08, I know a lot of people have talked about it but that just means it’s such a good clip. I love how soft Max gets, not just with his voice but the way he kinda holds Sam to comfort him is the best
1:29 This for me is the reason why I hold Sam and Max and the people behind it in such high regard. They could of put I the usual dialogue of it not gonna do or just put in the quick "I don't feel that way about him" sort of line. Yet what did they do? They dedicated a lot of animation time to create this gag.
That's all it is though, just a gag. They also have gags that have them interested in women, that has Sam being a parental like figure for Max. It's really just a joke for the sake of being a joke.
8:04 So I just played 104 today and I’m pretty sure Sybil is pretending to put the the applications through a computer. Which means she pretty much just looked at Sam and Max and just went : “Yup they’re soulmates.” That or she’s just as bad at that job as the previous ones and decided not to bother. Anyway I just thought it was kinda funny.
The running joke of Max not liking girls honestly feels like it's supposed to convey a level of maturity so low, it transcends sexuality. Max...is simply Max. He's the embodiment of directionless aspiration, shameless vanity, and chaotic neutrality. Sam def has the big gay, though...
Regardless of what he originally was meant to represent, i think saying he's gay & queercoded is entirely valid, given the other lines. I claim him for the gay agenda, cishets can't have him
I dunno why but I always liked that actually hurting max or nearly doing so makes Sam just get angry and violent, maybe that old self he was talking about it. I do remember he went super violent when he thought he died in the games
I just thought it was one of those things like “blank x blank gay moments” that are only gay when taken out of context. The further I got through the video, I understood that they’re actually were gay (or just very very very very very very very very very very very very VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRY close partners) Edit: why is there a flame war going on in the replies
@@gregjayonnaise8314 I just looked up the dialouge for the romeo and juliet death scene and, turns out, Sam quotes it word by word... Like seriously its the exact same
6:57 Ruddy/Red biased colors such as deep browns can appear greenish to people with a certain subset of color blindness. Jokingly canonically due to animal traits both are colorblind. Guess what color Sam is to Max in this context.
A split second of pure, genuine, wholesome love. I think I actually had to do a double take first time I saw it because of how weirdly _real_ it seemed.
I've seen some comments going "the 'you don't even like girls' bit does not mean he's gay, he has memory loss" And I'm just reminded of that one time my friend and our theater buddies were talking about a video and he utters "You know, many people found that girl attractive, but I don't really see it" and one of the girls just wheezes "|Torben| you're gay!" and we all just break down in laughter So therefore, I'm applying my own bias to this, I think Max is gay. Same with my ace friend who, when asked about a person and if he finds them attractive just kinda goes "you know she does have nice cheekbones and a nice jacket", stating something that _kind_ of sounds straight and allo, but is just an unconscious attempt at being "normal"

It’s important to remember that Sam is not the “normal” one in the relationship. He is just as batshit bonkers as Max, just in a different way.
There's a trope where a character prevents another character from being as dangerous as they could be. It's called a morality chain.
I.E. if character A has the potential to become incredibly dangerous but B stops them, B is A's morality chain
One of the titular characters is the other's morality chain and you're probably wrong about which is which and this fact is so insane to me considering how they normally are.
Donda was Kanye's morality chain.

Two different kinds of crazy that balance each other out. Like yin and yang.
@@violetnocte In "They Stole Max's Brain!", it's revealed that Max was actually *Sam's* Morality Chain.

I had no idea who Sam and Max were 25 minutes ago, but now I want to go and watch every piece of media related to them.
Same 😭
Sameee

It's been three months since I watched this video and I've become so deep in this rabbit hole it's scary
"I'm married to my career!"
"They had the ceremony in Canada because it's legal there."
Awww, c'mon that's too good. Haha!
they're so gay heehee
i hope op knows they singlehandedly revived the entire fandom. this is like the holy bible but for sam & max. like half the sam and max fans i meet got into it bc of this video (me included)😭. i cant thank u enough op ur doing the God’s work💖
THE BIBLE YXHGXXG YES
While I’ve been a fan since before the vid I can not overstate how much this vid grew the fandom
YEAH ME TOO! thank you OP
SAME. I became so damn obsessed with this game after I saw this video
i got into it bc my partner used max as a voice claim for one of our ocs so i went looking for clips. and now i’m here
Max: *can’t spell*
Sam: that’s awfully cute
Max: *speaks like a sociopath*
Sam: Such a cutie
Max: *pummels a guy with a hammer*
Sam: *C U T E*
Ideal relationship
Max: *commits tax fraud*
Sam: hot
Best comment
max: *commits arson*
sam: wow how cute
i mean yeah sam is right crime is heccin adorable
Max's short memory makes him forget he doesn't have to sound straight to assimilate around his gay husband anymore. It's been 25 years, you don't need to hit on girls you don't like for your image any more, little buddy!
😁😁
Think it's more Max forgetting he is gay. Never known that bunny to adjust to any social expectations.
YES
I WANT TO CRY that's so cute and bittersweet
I love this interpretation
player: _wants to tie down Max_
Sam: jokes on you, we're into that shit
I kinda like it that Max is so deranged he forgets he's gay lmao
"Hit me again, I like it."
"Maybe later."
"You are aware there are children watching, right?"
"Let's give ourselves tongue baths."
So they're *THAT* type of couple.
Yeah, they are *THIS* kind of couple
kinky couple

shocked to keep finding more
if it was 6 minutes long i would've been like 'oh it's a joke people are just overreacting'. I'm happy it's 25 minutes long- this is the type of couples I want to see. Not too much lovely-dovely forced shit and just two bros in love making jokes.

these are so well written that half the time you dont even know they ARE gay jokes until you stop, think, and re-watch it again.
I love how Sam refers to Max as “Little buddy” sometimes, It’s so adorable 😭
In conclusion. Max doesn’t even like girls.
Oh yeah, I forgot.
“I don’t?” - Max
"mmm... SHES PRETTY! But I have a standing rule against dating anyone who can use me to dig boogers out of their nose."
"But Max you don't even like girls.."
I think he’s too dumb to like anyone without forgetting it
I assumed him and Sam were asexual but like to throw in as many random sexual innuendos as possible for the sake of comedy and remembering their sense of humor to keep their sanity while confronting dangerous adventures
Love love love how some creators denounce shipping of their characters and our man Purcell out here like “oh they gaaaaaaaay”
It's okay. You can say, "Parker Simmons"
@@darthskele Who’s that and what ship did he try to denounce?
@@BirdWord03 I have no idea but I believe he is the one who drew Sam with a girl
@@darthskele the creator of Mao Mao? What’s up with him?
@@misspenguin6215 Steve Purcell did that, I believe.
But yeah, the creator of Mao Mao. He commented on a shipping post on Tumblr. It was between Mao Mao and Badgerclops, and folks were busy being shippers and all, saying that they're like a cute domestic couple. Which, to be fair, it makes a bit of sense to believe that when those two are raising a kid together and live in the same house and do other domestic things with each other.
But Parker, he randomly swooped in and said that they could "ship them if they liked," but went on to say that he went out of his way to write an affectionate male friendship because he's apparently never seen such a thing in cartoons before. (Ed edd n Eddy, Fosters, etc, they have stuff like this all the time)
He finished off his comment by saying that portraying such a relationship is "more important", implying that a gay romance isn't as important. Needless to say, it landed him in hot water with lots of fans.
I like how they never directly say they're lovers but it's obvious enough they are.
I genuinely can’t tell if this is a franchise aimed at kids with an insane way too much amount of dirty jokes or if it’s like panty and stocking with a cutesy kids type art style but for adults
The latter I’m pretty sure… x)
Cartoon, for kids and above.
Games, for teens and above
Comics, for adults.
Yes.
I swear.... everyone gotten into this fandom more recently because of this video.
Seriously, most of the people I've met after joining this fandom has did the same thing. Watched this video, falls in love with the gay duo, and then gets hooked.
It happened to me.
It happened to all of us.
*This video is a supernatural being...*
Really, this person just dropped this and got us hooked, cryptic af
@@yaboiaintshit4045 im mad that this is true
I remember playing Sam and max on my iPod touch years ago- it had something to do with Santa or the North Pole? I lost my iPod and couldn’t remember the name of these two until I saw fanart pop up on Instagram
Yep
Having watched 15 of 25 minutes, played all the games, and seen all of the cartoon's episodes, it looks like it was mostly made by someone who a) isn't aware that the franchise is a comedy, written for comedy's sake, b) can't conceive of a relationship built on surviving danger ( such as many policemen and military professionals have) rather than on mutual infatuation ("love"), d) can't conceive of anybody not wanting sex or being able to joke about it without being a lusty horndog, and e) is trying to sell an idea before which there is presently a bottomless demand.
I've been a fan of their work for a decade or more. It's a thought that never came to mind. And doesn't stick.
What does stick is the funny thought that a lot of people want to say Sam and Max are gay, as if that's affirmative of something they would like to be. And I find that very, very funny. Such people might also wish to check out Welcome to Night Vale.
Sam's very genuine love for his bunny husband illiteracy and dumbness is such a high standard that I can only find it in Sam and Max own relationship
Same 😔👊

11:04 "Maybe later" AYO THAT'S KINDA-
Ok but I adore this part at 0:08, I know a lot of people have talked about it but that just means it’s such a good clip. I love how soft Max gets, not just with his voice but the way he kinda holds Sam to comfort him is the best
1:29 This for me is the reason why I hold Sam and Max and the people behind it in such high regard. They could of put I the usual dialogue of it not gonna do or just put in the quick "I don't feel that way about him" sort of line. Yet what did they do? They dedicated a lot of animation time to create this gag.
THE WAY HE JUST SAYS ‘nah’ GETS ME
@KewlKat !! nah 😐😐
Only for us to realize it wasnt a gag
That's all it is though, just a gag. They also have gags that have them interested in women, that has Sam being a parental like figure for Max. It's really just a joke for the sake of being a joke.

MY HEART UGGGGGGGGGGGGH
That was the cutest thing I saw Max doing
that scene was actually incredibly adorable
4:02 that "HIGHER!" from Max is so adorable
8:04
So I just played 104 today and I’m pretty sure Sybil is pretending to put the the applications through a computer. Which means she pretty much just looked at Sam and Max and just went : “Yup they’re soulmates.”
That or she’s just as bad at that job as the previous ones and decided not to bother. Anyway I just thought it was kinda funny.
She's their neighbour, she can absolutely tell.
The running joke of Max not liking girls honestly feels like it's supposed to convey a level of maturity so low, it transcends sexuality. Max...is simply Max. He's the embodiment of directionless aspiration, shameless vanity, and chaotic neutrality.
Sam def has the big gay, though...
Max is gay but im not sure if he knows what that word means /j
Max: "Hit me again, I like it" 😂😂😂
He always speak his mind too
Regardless of what he originally was meant to represent, i think saying he's gay & queercoded is entirely valid, given the other lines. I claim him for the gay agenda, cishets can't have him
@@decristal48 that was Max?
@@Miles_Phantasmagoria I'm getting used to the names xd
literally anything: (threatens max’s life to any extent)

Sam: *Are you preparing to meet Jesus?*
Star Trek tng reference! Nice
@@muttthingy9908 i havent gotten into star trek proper as of now, but its one of my favorite quotes...ever-ish?
I dunno why but I always liked that actually hurting max or nearly doing so makes Sam just get angry and violent, maybe that old self he was talking about it.
I do remember he went super violent when he thought he died in the games
It's adorable that people so different can love each other so much.
I just thought it was one of those things like “blank x blank gay moments” that are only gay when taken out of context. The further I got through the video, I understood that they’re actually were gay (or just very very very very very very very very very very very very VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRY close partners)
Edit: why is there a flame war going on in the replies
They got married twice idk if it can get any gayer than that 😭
AS A BISEXUAL HONESTLY ME TOO
@@saltybutter9874 that’s kinda bi ngl
The thing is, both Sam and Max are def into BDSM.
They are very very like very close partners. Please dont ruin my childhood.
Not gonna lie, when clone Sam instinctively picked up and hugged the toy rabbit @ 20:16 just as Sam hugged Max, I couldn't help but smile.
Cutest scene by far
Surely he was daydreaming
I love the running gag that Max needs to be reminded that he’s never attracted to girls
18:40 It's crazy how nobody talks about this. This clip literally confirms that if Max were to ever die, Sam would kill himself.
He also call max “my love”
It’s literally like Romeo and Juliet
@@gregjayonnaise8314 I just looked up the dialouge for the romeo and juliet death scene and, turns out, Sam quotes it word by word... Like seriously its the exact same
6:05
“Hope i don’t have to bend over provocatively to-“
“That’s enough, Max.”
*saved us there, didn’t you, Sam?*
Only sam gets to see that
@@skytoground906 Sam's getting Jelly
i think that was more in line of "Not in front of possible children watching"
24:02 has to be one of my favorites. Also the way Max says "Are you talking dirty?" Is just such a satisfying line delivery
His voice actor absolutely nailed it!
His voice actor is probs my favourite in anything
Honestly its my favorite line in the show
There THAT couple
Heyheyhey it cus Sam said'hare-rasing' like rabbity things :]
7:27 This is one of my favorite lines. It’s so specific you know Max has been thinking about this for some time.

Asfsjdklsl Sam and Max are listed as husbands in the wiki I fucking love it

Bc it's a canon, of course they will be listed as such
There's an entire page about them being married
For tax purposes
"i love you, hugh bliss."
"hi, i'm not hugh bliss!"
*"i hate you."*
Nothing says platonic like "I wouldn't be happy without Max in my life" and "I hope we spend eternity together"
Max's homosexuality is at another level to the point he forgets that he’s gay. 👏🏾

It's legit this face: 🥺
A split second of pure, genuine, wholesome love. I think I actually had to do a double take first time I saw it because of how weirdly _real_ it seemed.
That was so wholesome 💕
A GOAT BORN WITH AM HDMI PORT
THE SHEER AMOUNT OF TIMES HE SAYS “YOU DONT EVEN LIKE GIRLS” IS KILLING ME AND THEN THE “NO FLASHBACK? MH. OKAY.” SIR-
I've seen some comments going "the 'you don't even like girls' bit does not mean he's gay, he has memory loss"
And I'm just reminded of that one time my friend and our theater buddies were talking about a video and he utters
"You know, many people found that girl attractive, but I don't really see it" and one of the girls just wheezes "|Torben| you're gay!" and we all just break down in laughter
So therefore, I'm applying my own bias to this, I think Max is gay.
Same with my ace friend who, when asked about a person and if he finds them attractive just kinda goes "you know she does have nice cheekbones and a nice jacket", stating something that _kind_ of sounds straight and allo, but is just an unconscious attempt at being "normal"
They’re in denial.
I really don't know anything about these two but I would die for them
Update: I now know but my opinion hasn't changed :)
*Fuckin' ditto*
Ditto
Ditto my good nigga
You will.
Honestly, same
