History WesternAnimation / SonicBoom

* TrueCompanions: All five members of Team Sonic. Always hanging out together, even when they’re not busy saving the day. In "Knuck Knuck! Who's Here?", after Knuckles tried to find himself a family due to being the last of his kind, Amy tells him that she and the others are his family. Cue GroupHug.

** Traditionally, Amy has stalked Sonic with the single-minded goal of coercing the hedgehog into marrying her, and Sonic has subsequently avoided her like the plague if possible. Although this element has been more downplayed in the mainstream franchise and the comics as of late, the relation between the two changed drastically with both the ''Sonic Boom'' games and TV show. Here, Sonic and Amy are mutually friends and ''both'' have deeper feelings of affection for each other that they sometimes let slip. Amy doesn't place Sonic on a pedestal and isn't afraid to call him out for being boorish or stupid, while Sonic is usually the first person to make an effort if he thinks he or someone else has hurt Amy in some way.

-->'''Amy:''' Alright, perhaps our enthusiasm yesterday was a bit premature, seeing as it turns out ''[glares at Sonic]'' '''''some people''''' still have a long way to go in their training. But, I'm sure we'll ''all'' learn to be compassionate, after tomorrow's...[[GenkiGirl SENSITIVITY TRAINING CAMPING TRIP!]]
-->''[Everyone except Sonic starts cheering]''
-->'''Sonic:''' ''[Furiously]'' You know what ''I'' think is compassionate? Saving the Village from Eggman! Like, ''every week!'' But do I get ''any'' props for that?! '''''NO!''''' Everyone just goes around ''gasping'' at me when I call a guy ''"a guy"'', or people ''"people!"''

* TotallyRadical: Swifty in "Blue With Envy", in a parody of Sonic's 90s incarnations, takes this UpToEleven.

* AbsentAnimalCompanion: In the episode "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E4Buster Buster]]", after Sticks shakes a kitten out of a tree, Amy decides to get Sticks a pet to teach her the responsibilities of animal care. When Sonic takes Sticks to the pet store, Sticks finds every pet there [[TastesLikeDiabetes too cute, fuzzy, and adorable for her tastes]]. She then finds a disgusting robot dog that spits slime in a trash can and names him "Buster". Buster quickly annoys Sticks' friends, and it is later revealed that Buster was created by Dr. Eggman. When Buster transforms into a monster and attacks Sticks' friends, Sticks disciplines him to get him back to his normal self. At the end of the episode, Sticks lets Buster go, having found out he's an evil robot unfit to keep as a pet. Buster has not been seen or referenced since.

** In "Fiendbot" upon finding a copy of the video game "Tomatopotamus 2", the cast comments (in order) that "Tomatopotamus [[PolygonCeiling never worked in 3D]], game companies always ruin their beloved franchises, and they should never have changed the color of Tomatopotamus' legs."

* TakeThatAudience: Several times. "The Biggest Fan" is basically [[WholePlotReference the plot of]] ''Literature/{{Misery}}'', but with Sonic in the place of Paul Sheldon and Mark the Tapir satirizing the series' infamous fandom. There's even a part where Mark mentions that he'll try to find one of his fanfics that's family-friendly, a reference to the fanbase's [[NeverLiveItDown infamous reputation]] for producing work with Geneva Convention-violatingly high amounts of Rule34.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: D.B. Platapus endorses this in "Role Models", forcing the heroes to take on extremely mannerly and inoffensive behaviour to set a good example for the rest of the town. Some examples include [[RealWomenDontWearDresses not allowing Amy to cook because of gender stereotypes]], despite her enjoying cooking as well as being the only one on the team who ''can'' cook; and forcing them to confront Eggman by "using their words".

* PieInTheFace: One episode appears to end on a warm note, only for Tails to interrupt, saying they forgot to end on a punchline. A couple pies proceed to fall our of the sky and land on him.

** [[Franchise/IncredibleHulk The Unenviable Clunk]] in "Don't Make Me Angry".

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Team Sonic. Although the opening shows them [[TeamSpirit standing ready to defend their island,]] the show itself [[VictoryIsBoring usually tells a different story.]]

** In a different episode Amy does this with Sticks by suggesting a SpotOfTea. Sticks lampshades how weird it is to finish a sentence like that and Amy justifies it by [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall suggesting an observer that only sees snippets of their activities]] which surprises Sticks, who asks if she can see them too with an AsideGlance.

* AbsentAnimalCompanion: * In the episode "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E4Buster Buster]]", after Sticks shakes a kitten out of a tree, Amy decides to get Sticks a pet to teach her the responsibilities of animal care. When Sonic takes Sticks to the pet store, Sticks finds every pet there [[TastesLikeDiabetes too cute, fuzzy, and adorable for her tastes]]. She then finds a disgusting robot dog that spits slime in a trash can and names him "Buster". Buster quickly annoys Sticks' friends, and it is later revealed that Buster was created by Dr. Eggman.

'''Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and Sticks:''' look annoyed

* FictionalVideoGame: The ''Tomatopotamus'' game series, which serves as a TakeThat to ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'''s decline in quality.

** '''Stache Smash'', which is a parody of ''VideoGame/{{Pitfall}}'', and ''Super 'Smash Stache''

--> '''Tails:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint He pulled off the sheet in one tug! That]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint is]]'' [[[[ComicallyMissingThePoint impressive.]]

* YouMakeMeSic:
** In "The Sidekick," [[MeaningfulName Fastidious Beaver]] interrupts Sonic's description of the deadly jungle race he is just about to literally plunge into, so he can correct Sonic's grammar... And his correction was wrong.
** Fastidious later makes a cameo in "Guilt Tripping" to make another (incorrect) grammar correction.
** He shows up to do it ''again'' in "Two Good to Be True," but Sonic catches on and stops himself.

JustForFun/TheOneWith everyone being more comical and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall self-aware]].

* FiveManBand:
** Sonic: TheHero
** Tails: TheLancer / TheSmartGuy
** Knuckles: TheBigGuy
** Amy: TheChick
