==Cultural references== {{Trivia|date=December 2008}} * Old Stinky said that he created Girl Stinky by adding a spare rib into his cake recipe. In the Bible, Eve was created using one of Adam's ribs. * The freeze frame at the point before Sam & Max drive the De Soto from the street diorama into the theater diorama is a reference to [[The Dukes of Hazzard]]. * In the cooking show diorama, the demonic version of Stinky always says "Damn!" when she adds a new ingredient to her recipe, similar to how [[Emeril Lagasse]] always says "Bam!" when he does the same thing. * As Sam reads the "baby book" out loud to Grandpa Stinky, Max declares [[To Serve Man|"It's a cookbook!"]] This is a reference to [[To Serve Man]]. * The pile of MimeSweeper cartridges buried at shores of the Styx river is a reference to the infamous [[Atari video game burial|ET video game burial]]. * After Sam remarks he thought these cartridges were buried in the desert, Max tells him the sandworms probably brought them here; a reference to [[Dune (novel)|Dune]], a sci-fi series in which giant [[Sandworm (Dune)|sandworms]] live under the surface of the desert. * Looking at the one-armed bandit in the elf's factory, Sam declares "His arm's off. 'Tis but a Flesh Wound!", referring to [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]. This is also a reference to another Sam and Max episode - [[The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball]]. *The List of Seven words on the wall of Hugh Bliss' cubicle are a reference to [[George Carlin]]'s "The Seven Words you can't say on Television". * When speaking to Grandpa Stinky in Stinky's diner he says "Stay awhile, and listen!" - a phrase spoken by Decard Cain in [[Diablo (video game)|Diablo]]. * The "Soul Train" that leads to hell is introduced in much the same way as the televised music and dancing program [[Soul Train]], popular in the 70s. * The final [[bell, book and candle]] ritual used to open a portal to hell is a reference to an archaic method of [[excommunication]], which in turn is referenced prominently in [[Zork]]. * When Sam & Max finally gets to speak to Satan, he introduces himself by saying "Pleased to meet you. I hope you guessed my name", a reference to the [[Rolling Stones]] song [[Sympathy for the Devil]]. * When the spaceship is destroyed at the beginning of the game, Sam & Max listen to the AI on board the spaceship say, "Spaceship destroyed, but I still have the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission." This is a reference to what [[HAL 9000]] says in ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' * When Sam speaks in the karaoke machine in the sewers, he says "They call me...Mr. Tibbs". This is a reference to the famous line from [[In the Heat of the Night (film)|In the Heat of the Night]]. *Specs tries to gain Chippy's soul by challenging him to a music competition, referencing ''[[The Devil Went Down To Georgia]]''. *The Maimtron 9000 talks in 80's and 90's songs lyrics. *Several alternate endings were shown on the website of who is the master mind, one of which is Homestar Runner from the [[Homestar Runner]] series and a future telltale game, [[SBCG4AP]].
