Bumpusville is a location in Sam & Max Hit the Road. It is the mansion and estate of Conroy Bumpus, located in Tennessee. Lee-Harvey acts as the security guard.
Outside is a large statue of Bumpus himself, featuring the literally larger-than-life caricature spotted all around the estate. There's also a wishing well, which can be interacted with. The wishing well will grant any wish directly, but as Sam only wishes for things that are either useless or he apparently doesn't actually want, he claims it's broken.
The main entrance area is filled entirely with Conroy Bumpus memorabilia, as well as gold and platinum discs celebrating the star's many country-western hits. There's also a massive cardboard cutout of Bumpus's muscular alter-ego that gives a small tour of the area when interacted with, an inexplicable sofa, and a massive portrait of muscular Bumpus, apparently titled "Me, Myself and I".
To the right is the VR room, and past that is the bedroom. The VR room is filled primarily with books, with a large, lavish couch and wooden ottoman in the center. Next to the couch is the VR machine itself, which Sam can access to play the VR game that's connected to the security system and allows access past the tripwire in the stage room.
In the bedroom is a giant truck bed, which is most likely taller than even Lee-Harvey. In order to actually get on top of it, Sam has to ride an escalator (which is admittedly rather slow). To the left of the bed is an in-wall bookshelf, and to the right is a statue holding one of Bumpus's toupees, which is later replaced with an eggplant.
In the far left side of the building are the trophy and stage rooms. Both rooms contain (apparently still at least partially alive) animal head trophies that have the ability to sing, the ones in the trophy room only singing when Sam is busy staring at a wall and the latter being Bumpus's backup singers.
