Could T.H.E.M. be this seasons main S&M villains
I was thinkin of how often T.H.E.M. is mentioned in this season's Sam and Max. In way, it reminds me of Hugh Bliss's cult in season 1, where it is at least mentioned in the background or in dialogue at least once per episode.
My theory is that the organization is more like a group of villains, much like S.p.e.c.t.o.r. (I think that is what they are called) in the 007 movies or the Legion of Doom/legion like in Superfriends/DC universe.
I'd imagine that the acronym is probably a team members name and that each member are shown in each episode, whereas they all get together in episode five. I mean, there are four words in them and five episodes.
If I am correct, I can imagine the Moai being the M or the giant red Triangle being the T
The posessed Santa could be H as in Hell or something.

anyway, bosco is afraid of t.h.e.m. and at first it seems as if this is just his regular paranoia, but in season one he usually talked about government conspiracies. so this might be something different altogether. the newxt two episodes will probably make us believe that the force behind all this indidents is some kind of mysterious organisation or supernatural/extraterrestrial entities, but is only a diversion to hide the obvious. it's a single person.
bosco actually knows the villain, but is to ashamed to talk. who else has also been mentioned in connection to bosco this season?
I was thinking of that
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THEM_%28TV_series%29 - A secret society of magicians? Sounds Sam & Max-ey.
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah_Muhammad - This guy is listed on the disambiguation page for 'Them', calling him 'The Honourable Elijah Muhammad'. I think it's unlikely that Telltale would be referencing this, but you never know.
3) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THEM%21_%28comics%29 - Another possibility that at least seems plausible.
If anything, T.H.E.M. might be inspired by any of these three, but at the very least, I suspect that it's similar in nature - something to do with a secret society of something or other. I rather like Randulf's Teleost suggestion, personally.
People who have gotten breast implants, and has gotten the problem with internal rottening, can confirm this is true
there where probably a lot more spatulas than shown in season 1. they probably buy a new whatercooler bottle, including a fish, every week. i mean there is actually no way to get fish food in there without removing the whole bottle and i can't imagine either sam or max doing it to often..thus the mass of goldfish specters will someday combine to form an undead superfish consciousness...
So Mr. spatula is going to form Voltron!?! SWEET!
but thats just me :P
anyway, even if it is really just them, the only difference it makes is that them have to be at least to persons..right?

I asked about this at one of the conventions last year, I forget which.
Apparently they came up with Mr Spatula turning into Mack Salmon, but Steve Purcell rejected it. Maybe next season.:(
This reminds me of that episode of Red Dwarf where Ace Rimmer dies, Rimmer replaces him and they send his light-bee out to a huge field of dead light-bees.
T.H.E.M...
After watching the gameplay video, I'm sure this episode is connected with Men in Black somewhat. We never saw the eyes of Agent Superball, and he always wear black. Also, if I may be so blunt. I believe we are going up against the devil in the last episode(at least, that's what I was thinking while I was reading about MIB on wikipedia and thinking of who could possibly control the aliens.)
