5. Max (Sam and Max Hit the Road)
Commonly described as a "hyperkinetic rabbity thing," Max is the little lagomorphic buddy of canine shamus Sam. Together they form the Freelance Police, a duo who solve crimes with complete disregard for the law, humanity and themselves.
While Sam is the brains of the group, possessing a near-encyclopedic knowledge of worthless information, Max is most likely the brawn. Well, not "brawn" so much as the "unhinged cop on the edge". Max loves his gun more than life itself and prefers a more aggressive approach to solving crimes over Sam's more pragmatic approach.
Yet despite his psychotic demeanor and bizarrely short attention span(one time even freaking out that he was standing next to a "giant talking dog"), Max has an unusually keen mind and fantastic observational skills, usually used for interpreting ways to cause chaos during a particular situation.
Even with(and probably because of) all his supremely uninibited tendencies, he remains best buddies with Sam. Incredibly protective and possessive, Max holds his friendship above almost everything else, even if he plans on taking Sam with him when he dies.
Max is, above all else, the perfect representation of pure id: taking whatever instinctual trait his twisted little rabbity brain can think up.
Best moment: Near the beginning of Sam and Max Hit the Road, Sam has to get a message from inside a strangely hydrocephalic cat. While Sam tries every possible solution to coax the cat to hork it up, the only real solution comes when Max shoves his arm down the cat's throat, pulling the message out of him.
