Nightmare Fuel / Poker Night at the Inventory

"Do you get the nightmares?"

—Heavy

• Max is the source of three of these.
  • First, his zombie exclamation of "Cheeeeeck!" The way his ears bend is extremely unsettling.
  • Secondly, the "Max and Crossbones" table. (A hint for this one: The Devil's Playhouse Episode 1 cliffhanger.)
  • Thirdly, "Make a calm and rational decision!"
• "I. Do. Not. Lose."
• There's also Heavy flipping the table in rage if he loses a hand with at least a Three Of A Kind, revving up his minigun and screaming in anger before the reveal that it was an Imagine Spot, with him plainly telling you to deal him a new hand.
  Heavy: WHAT?! I WILL NOT LOSE TO LUCKY COWARDS! I KILL YOU!
• Tycho's Slasher Smile, especially with lines like "That'll do, cards. That'll do".
  • Tycho's bits about giraffes and hedgehogs can be this if you don't find them funny. To give some credit, those bits are legitimately disturbing.
• Heavy's favorite story about a BLU Engineer and his wrench. Even the other players are creeped out!
  Heavy: I am reminded of time Engineer kill my entire team.
  Tycho: Damn, Heavy. That's... uh... heavy. I'm... sorry to hear that.
  Heavy: I search entire base for him. He tries to kill me with turret and mini-turret, but I crush his toys like they are made of paper!
  Strong Bad: Sound-a like-a some crappy toys, if you ask me.
  Heavy: Then I find him, hiding by teleporter. I take his gun away from him. He tries to hit me with wrench! Hahaha! So I take his wrench away from him. I take his wrench, and then shove it down his throat, all the way down to the handle.
  Tycho: Christ!
  Heavy: Yahaha! Then I rip off all his fingers, one by one. Let's see you build toys now! HAHAHAHAHA! There is blood everywhere, and... HE IS CRYING! (continues laughing) I think he cries out for mother, but... but... (even more laughter) the wrench is stuck in his throat, so it sounds like... (makes exaggerated gurgling and choking noises) HAHAHAHAHAHA! Is this not funniest thing?!
  Max: (stares silently in horror)
  Tycho: (looks at Heavy sadly and shakes his head)
  Strong Bad: That is some (bleep)ed up (bleep), man!
  • Also, he never specifies what wrench the Engineer was using at the time: let's hope it wasn't the Southern Hospitality. To the unitiated, it's covered in spikes and causes bleed damage.
  • The look of Squick on Max's face when Heavy finishes telling the story. It says a lot that Max is horrified by something.
