!!The game provides examples of:
* ArtEvolution: Sam's appearance utilizes darker shading, slightly altered proportions, and you can see some slight fur details.
** [[http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=783221&postcount=739 As stated in this forum post]], one of the wishlist items for developers was getting Sam as close as possible to his design in the Sam & Max comics.
* AscendedExtra: Sam's gone from a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo to one of the poker players.
* TheCameo: By series:
** [[VideoGame/{{Borderlands}} Mad Moxxi]] is tending bar.
** The Turrets from ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' appear in a capacity yet to be determined.
** [[http://www.telltalegames.com/pokernight2/trailer The Teaser Trailer]] features Brock playing ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'', and getting irritated at Sam, Ash, and Claptrap's suggestions for what to do due to not being in the constraints of the gameplay.
** [[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Max]] wanders around the room aimlessly, occasionally walking in front of the table and blocking the player's view of the game.
* ChainsawGood: Ash (of course) suggests this method for taking care of the zombies in the trailer.
* DemotedToExtra: Max goes from one of the main poker players to a background character wandering around the room aimlessly. WordOfGod says Max will still join in conversations occasionally.
* DownloadableContent: The even rarer case of a game supplying DLC for ''two'' games. Character will ante up items for use in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' and, depending on the platform you are playing the game on, items for use in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' (Steam), items for your Xbox 360 Avatar or {{PlayStation 3}} XMB themes.
* IdiotHair: Ash's spit curl utilizes JigglePhysics.
* InterfaceScrew: Sometimes Max and/or GLaDOS block The Player's view of the game.
* NamesTheSame: [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} No, not that Ash and Brock.]]
* ReversePsychologyMarketing: The game was officially announced on April Fool's Day, causing many to assume it to be an elaborate hoax. Those who were taking note of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' updates, however, noticed that the winnable ''[=TF2=]'' items were added to the game's files on [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/March_12,_2013_Patch March 12, 2013]], two weeks before the game was even ''teased''.
* SequelEscalation: The first game mostly reused models from existing games and drew its cast mostly from properties Telltale already had in easy reach (Tycho being the only mutual exception). The sequel features more distant properties and more new models (as well as a few touch-ups on the pre-existing ones).
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter / SawedOffShotgun: As to be expected, Ash repeatedly calls to Brock to just use his [[MemeticMutation boomstick]]. Perhaps he's unaware Brock DoesntLikeGuns?
** Similarly, Claptrap recommends buying the Conference Call, one of the most powerful guns of Borderlands 2.
* WrongGenreSavvy: In the trailer, Sam wants to play VideoGame/TheWalkingDead in the style of a humorous point-and-click LucasArts AdventureGame, while Ash doesn't seem to realize OurZombiesAreDifferent.
