Telltale used the scene when Sam & Max enter Jurgen’s nightclub as a cinematics art test for years. If you search YouTube you can find many many takes on the scene (amid other Telltale art tests) https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=Telltale+cinematics+test

Okay so that’s only about 35 facts so far, and we’re over 250 likes… fortunately the facts are all crucial and very high quality. Tomorrow we’ll be back with more, until our brains melt or we fall asleep or get tired of facts.

Max is a lagomorph.

Related fact: Pikachu is not actually derived from a pika, which is a shame as that would mean Max and Pikachu are in the same zoological order. Which, by extension, would mean the moment at 66 seconds into this video actually made perfect sense. Instead chaos reigns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBTTowksN28&t=66s

Sam & Max first appeared in print in 1980, in the the pages of the weekly student newspaper at the California College of Arts and Crafts.

Before they had a game of their own, Sam and Max were used by programmers at LucasArts to learn the SCUMM game engine, by creating a tiny adventure game set in a test-art version of Sam & Max's office. These sprites were found in the source code to Monkey Island 1 by @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social.
