Max Is Not a Cat

edited September 2010 in Sam & Max
This kid in my school just told me that Max looks like a cat. Discuss. Feel free to make fun of him, because this is obviously ridiculous. I'll be sure to pass on any personal messages you wish to share with him. He obviously knows nothing about the series. He is tragically misinformed.

    Well if you squint your eyes Max looks really like a cat on your avatar.

    I will, Hatley. Thank you for agreeing with me. Although he has glasses, so maybe he just needs a new prescription.

    Perhaps he should wear glasses ON his glasses.

    LOL this reminds me of a time i went to a website that details classic adventure games. When i click Sam & Max Hit the Road The summary says: "Sam & Max Hit the Road is a classic Lucasarts adventure starring a six foot tall BEAR named Sam and a rabbit called Max; it's very fun". When i read that i was like :eek: WTF?

    Wait what? He's not? I was always under the impression that they called him a rabitty-thing as part of the overall joke that nobody in the Sam and Max universe knows what a cat is. I mean, he's quite obviously a cat. Look at the teeth and the nose for crying out loud! And the paws! And the antisocial nature! Max is a cat, case closed.

    SEE? SEE?

    I'll be sure to let you all know when he finally gives in and admits that Max isn't a goddam cat.

    Player_2: While I think that Max usually doesn't look as a cat at all, I must agree der_ketzer. He really DOES look like a cat in your avatar. I think it's because we don't see his ears.
    SlasherMan: Well, IMO, at least Sam looks like a bear more than Max like a cat.

    Bite his right arm of, for a start. I believe he'll get the point.

    (actually, he'll get any point you might be making in the future, but that's really outside this discussion)

    Here's a picture your friend should obviously see if he can't tell the difference between cats and rabbits.

    The lesson to be learned from this is, of course, that Max is a lagomorph, or a "rabbity-thingy" if you want to get technical.

    Cats have: Big eyes, whiskers, small pointy ears, small feet, small heads and small mouths.

    Max has: Small eyes, no whiskers, big floppy ears, large feet, a bloody huge head and a very big mouth.

    I always thought Max is... whatever Ren is. Was it chinchilla? Wait I gotta wiki it...

    EDIT: Chihuahua o-o Ren was a chihuahua all along?

    Max is not a cat, and he's not a half-rabbit thing either!

    ..He's a parrot!

    What's wrong with insulting Tim Burton? He's spent his entire career ripping off Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari over and over and over again to the point that people actually think it's a personal style, when really the man is a hack.

    Agreed. It's so obvious that Max is a kangaroo.

    At this rate it might be easier to determine what Max is not instead of what he really is.

    I thought we settled that Max was always some sort of platypus-fish hybrid. A platofish, if you will.
  • ShwooShwoo
    edited September 2010
    That would explain the self-hating platypus alien brain from 301 having the same powers as him. And his ability to breathe underwater.

    His legs are made of tape. He's a tape-leg.

    They said his legs were made of tape?! WHAT?? I mean, does he look like some kind of tape-leg? I can guarantee you, man, he is not a tape-leg.

    I doodled a picture of Max on my notebook and one of my friends exclaimed in a shocked voice (in the middle of class), "What the hell is that?! And why is it naked?!?"

    There wasn't a whole lot I could say in response after that...

    So, I suppose its logical that most people would not recognize an anthropomorphic lagomorph when they see one.

    This includes my computer, which does not have lagomorph listed in its spellcheck.

    Lol, I wish I could have seen that.

    Personally, I think that Max would look good if they removed the bunny ears, put brown fur on him and give him a long tail. He'd make a good monkey. Bad cat though, lord only knows why people would even suggest that he looks like one, it's a lie, a bad lie, a lie that must be fixed.

    Was he looking at your avatar, though? In your avatar his ears are pretty much hidden, leaving him as a fairly ambiguous creature that could just as easily be a cat as a rabbit
  • Player_2Player_2
    edited September 2010
    He wasn't looking at my avatar, he was looking at the picture on the TV Tropes entry for the series.

    His ears are pretty damn prominent there.

    Max always looked like a very insane rabbit to me, that large sharp tooth grin is what got me curious about the series because I knew he was an interesting character just by looking at him, luckly I was not wrong.

    Max does not look like a cat. He sorta looks like Hello Kitty, if you squint really hard and he's in one of those ocassions his mouth disappears.

    To sum it up, your friend is trippin'. Don't ever get into a car with him.
