==== Telephones ==== In ''Get Smart'', telephones are concealed in over 50 objects, including a necktie, comb, watch, and a clock. A recurring gag is Max's [[shoe phone]] (an idea from Brooks). To use or answer it, he has to take off his shoe. Several variations on the shoe phone were used. In "I Shot 86 Today" (season four), his shoe phone is disguised as a golf shoe, complete with cleats, developed by the attractive armorer Dr. Simon. Smart's shoes sometimes contain other devices housed in the heels: an explosive pellet, a smoke bomb, compressed air capsules that propelled the wearer off the ground, and a suicide pill (which Max believes is for the enemy). Agent 99 used concealed telephones in her makeup compact and her fingernail. To use the latter device, she would pretend to bite her nail nervously while actually talking on her "nail phone." On February 17, 2002, the prop shoe phone was included in a display titled "Spies: Secrets from the CIA, KGB, and Hollywood", a collection of real and fictional spy gear that exhibited at the [[Ronald Reagan Presidential Library]] in [[Simi Valley, California]]. [[Flinders University]] in South Australia has researched medical applications for shoe phone technology after being inspired by the show.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COpTlD2WIVE|title=ABC News Adelaide - Get Smart Shoe Phone|date=January 22, 2009 |accessdate=December 18, 2022|via=www.youtube.com}}</ref> Gag phones also appear in other guises. In the episode "Too Many Chiefs" (season one), Max tells Tanya, the KAOS informer whom he is protecting, that if anyone breaks in, to pick up the house phone, dial 1-1-7, and press the trigger on the handset, which converts it to a gun. The phone-gun is only used that once, but Max once carried a gun-phone, a revolver with a rotary dial built into the cylinder. In the episode "Satan Place", Max simultaneously holds conversations on seven different phones: the shoe, his tie, his belt, his wallet, a garter, a handkerchief, and a pair of eyeglasses. Other unusual locations include a garden hose, a car cigarette lighter (with the lighter being hidden in the car phone), a bottle of perfume (Max complains of smelling like a woman), the steering wheel of his car, a painting of Agent 99, the headboard of his bed, a cheese sandwich, lab test tubes (Max grabs the wrong one and splashes himself), a [[Bunsen burner]] (Max puts out the flame anytime he pronounces a "p"), a plant in a planter beside the real working phone (operated by the dial of the working phone), and inside ''another'' full-sized working phone.
