Sam & Max's House

Sam & Max's House is an infamous and quite interesting location that has been talked about in The Sam & Max Franchise. So far, we have seen their house in The Damned Don't Dance, That Darn Gator and The Final Episode.

Description

Although Sam and Max spend a lot of time in their office or traipsing around the world, they have a house in a suburb outside New York city. Its been seen in the comics and animated series. Currently, the only rooms seen/mentioned are the kitchen, living room, dining room, and bedroom, all filled with all sorts of odd objects and trash.

The kitchen was first seen in the comic The Damned Don't Dance where Sam was "cooking" Christmas dinner. In Sam and Max's letter to the fans ("Sam & Max's 1994 Holiday Newsletter"), Sam strapped Max to the kitchen table in order to pull out "a suspicious growth behind one of his fluffy ears".

The bedroom, living room and dining room were also seen in The Damned Don't Dance. In the animated series, the living room has a couch, TV, and an impressionistic painting of Sam and Max in a rowboat at night (a reference to a famous painting, no doubt). Sam and Max's bedroom always has a bunk bed and they apparently switch bunks whenever they feel like it.

Sam & Max's House and the inners of it were shown in the cartoon in That Darn Gator and The Final Episode.

Info from Steve about where Sam and Max sleep (Summer of 2000)

Trivia

• In a 2000 interview, Steve Purcell mentions their living space as, specifically, an "apartment". This may simply be a difference in terminology, as in both the cartoon and the comics, which had both been fully released by the time that the interview was held, what is shown is significantly more likely to be a bought and owned house.
• In Poker Night 2, Max claims that Sam "still lives with his parents" while making fun of him. This, as shown on the rest of the page, is a total and complete lie. Even if the cartoon is to be considered a seperate "canon" from the rest of the series, the comics aren't, and they already own their house by the events then.
  • There are only a few scenarios where Sam may have had a reason to move back in with his parents, most notable being that the house was destroyed, he and Max stopped living together for whatever reason, or they were kicked out.
    • For the first and second scenario, this would imply Max is most likely living in with Sam's parents as well considering his dislike for his own family.
    • Additionally, if he somehow kicked Sam out and lived in the house alone, or the two simply went their separate paths housing-wise, they most likely would not work together with the same closeness they share in This Time It's Virtual.
      • It could stand to be said that Sam may have moved out temporarily, considering Max's significantly more frequent belittling of him in Poker Night 2 compared to every other media containing the duo so far. Though this would mean that he would most likely move back in with Max after the events of This Time It's Virtual, as the two had more or less officially made up after an apparent period of distaste for each other.
