Controversy[]
Joey Camen was criticized by video game fans who had discovered his YouTube channel Camen TV in where he played various offensive stereotypes, made offensive jokes against transgender and black people, and did blackface. The videos were posted between 2015 and 2017. The videos were later taken down by Camen in 2019.[2][3]
Trivia[]
- In the Remastered game, Bosco is voiced by Ogie Banks -possibly due to controversy over Joey being white impersonating a stereotypical black man, some of Bosco's lines were also changed due to the original quotes deemed offensive[4].
- Due to some dialogue changes, Sam and Max still refer to him as "Sissypants" in episode 3, this was probably to make the duo make fun of his disguise.
- In the original dialogue (disguised as his mother), when Sam asks him to rub his unicorn, he'll say "I'm not that kind of woman!" In the Remastered game, he will gasp while the subtitles read "Well!"
- He also believes Sam and Max are married[5].
