==Cultural references== {{Trivia|date=December 2008}} *The title is a reference to ''[[Chariots of the Gods?]]''. The title card also has the same text style as the book's cover. The concept was earlier spoofed in the Sam & Max comic "Fair Wind to Java". *The way Agent Superball uses his sunglasses to wipe the memory of Sam & Max whenever they mention "time travel" is a reference to the "Neuralizers" used in [[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]. *The chair future Sam is sitting in looks like the chair of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' villain [[Davros]] and at one point in a dialogue refers at a [[TARDIS|time-traveling phone booth]] (which also may be a reference to ''[[Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure]]''). *Future Max wears a visor like [[Geordi La Forge]]'s from ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and there's also a [[stardate]] based calendar in the future office. *In the opening scene Flint Paper asks Max if he is a "bad enough president to rescue the dude" when questioned about Bosco. This is a reference to the arcade game ''[[Bad Dudes]]''. *The "strange numbers" referred to on the time cards Sam picks up are actually dates, starting with year, then month, then day. Example: the Embarrassing Idol time card had "2006.1221" imprinted on it. This means that the date is December 21, 2006, exactly the same day in which [[Situation: Comedy (Sam & Max)|Sam & Max: Situation Comedy]] first premiered on [[GameTap]]. *In the future office, if you click on the coat rack, Sam says "Where we're going, we don't need... coats.", parodying the 1985 movie [[Back to the Future]] where Doc Brown says "Roads? Where we're going we don't need... roads.". *In Stinky's diner, Sam is creating Bluster Blaster, a parody of [[Star Wars]] when Anakin creates [[C-3PO]]. Another reference occurs when Sam says "I was going to [[Penn Station]] to pick up some power converters" a parody of a [[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|A New Hope]].
