54	Also, the series has [[Narm/SonicTheHedgehog a page]] for being [[{{Narm}} unintentionally hilarious]].

58	[[folder:Genesis games]]
59	* In all of the 16-bit games, the expression on Robotnik's face whenever you hit him is priceless and makes one grateful that he [[RecurringBoss shows up in every level]]. His AsideGlance when he enters play or hits you is also pretty funny.
60	* Also in the 16-bit games, if you're playing as Sonic with the AI controlling Tails, any time Tails delivers the final blow to Robotnik's machine in a boss fight.
61	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2w2v_kgzWo Metallic Madness Bad Future theme]] in the Japanese and European versions of ''VideoGame/SonicCD'' can be this, albeit [[NightmareRetardant likely very unintentionally.]] Between what sounds like edited clips of the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy Weapons Guy]] throughout it, the downright silly evil laughter, and the robotic voice's words being far less threatening than they're likely meant to and ending up sounding like comical insults and taunting thanks to the monotone and mostly being spoken during a less dire-sounding part of the melody ("YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING, SO DON'T EVEN TRY. GET SOME HELP." and "DON'T DO WHAT SONIC DOES.", to be exact), and it's really not difficult to see why the music could be hilarious for some people.
62	** The same soundtrack's equivalent for the present version of the level's theme counts as well, thanks to its [[https://youtu.be/aDJ4__DyyDA?t=16 hilariously cheesy rapping]].
63	[[/folder]]
64
65	[[folder:''Sonic the Fighters'']]
66	* The opponent-related throws in ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''.
67	** For Amy's, the character takes her hammer and smacks her over the head with it.
68	*** The way all the characters' heads look when flattened are hilarious.
69	** The character yanks back Espio's tongue and releases it, causing it to smack him in his face like a rubber band.
70	*** Depicted in fanart [[http://chibi-jen-hen.deviantart.com/art/Cat-Got-Your-Tongue-64444477 here]].
71	** The character steals Fang's popgun from his holster, causing him to panic before shooting him in the face with it.
72	** The character takes a bomb from Bean, [[FeedItABomb shoves it in his mouth]], and ducks for cover for a few seconds while Bean makes multiple hilarious faces before bomb explodes.
73	* Several of the attacks in general are funny. The game is practically ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' meets ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter''.

77	!!Game cutscenes
78	* Some of the cutscenes have their funny moments:
79	** ''Sonic CD'':
80	*** The intro has Amy predicting the future with her UsefulNotes/TarotCards: after an owl and a compass, she picks death and gives an angry glance to it. She then looks around her, puts the card back in the deck, shuffles it with an [[BlatantLies absolutely not]] [[OhCrapSmile suspicious smile]], picks another card, gets the knight on a OneUp jingle and is overexcited... before the cards fly away while [[MoodWhiplash Little Planet is appearing above Never Lake]].
81	*** The outro has her get right back to using her tarot cards, this time showing images of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 animals dancing in a circle, a pair of fox tails, and a Chaos Emerald]]. [[RunningGag Cue another wind blowing the cards away and causing her to pout in annoyance]], which she quickly drops as she happily watches Sonic fly off on the Tornado.
82	** The ''Sonic 2'' intro has the moment when Sonic rushes on [[TheBully the foxes bullying]] [[TheCutie Tails]], making them spin in the process. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
83	** ''Sonic 3 and Knuckles'' takes the palm:
84	*** The intro has Eggman escaping his Death Egg Robot, falling on his back and [[FlippingHelpless having trouble standing up]]. After angrily pulling his mustache, [[InelegantBlubbering he sobs on the ground like a child]] before seeing the shiny Master Emerald. Before getting it, he's interrupted by Knuckles who wants to fight him, but Eggman [[AintTooProudToBeg begs for mercy]] and makes himself pass for an animals defender against Sonic and Tails, who are represented as a greedy Emerald thief and a ''[[AsianFoxSpirit kitsune]]''. Knuckles falls for it and stands his fist to Eggman's face... before opening his hand to help the doctor standing up; while Knuckles hits his fists on each other, Eggman does a CheshireCatGrin like he's congratulating himself of having duped the echidna.
85	*** The ending has Eggman floating near his crashed rocket on a [[StockNessMonster Rexon]]-shaped tube when a Flicky flutters down to taunt him. Eggman swipes at it, but it hops out of reach, which makes it notice the inflatable nature of its perch. Eggman desperately shakes his head as if saying "Oh no!", to which the Flicky eagerly nods "Oh ''yes!''". The camera pans upwards, followed a second later by a soft ''pop!''
86	!!Speed Strats series
87	* The ''Speed Strats'' series for ''Sonic Origins'' has a few funny moments of its own.
88	** In the first episode, Sonic rushes around while the narrator tries to slow him down just to pay attention.
89	** Following on from that, before the ''Sonic 1'' animated ending cutscene can be shown on a Sonic 2 monitor, Tails blows the monitor up, annoying the narrator, yet perplexing him about whether Tails somehow "absorbed the cutscene".
90	** In the second episode, focused on Sonic 1, the narrator acts concerned around Sonic, telling him he needs to go to the doctor after something happened. [[LiteralMinded Cue Sonic rushing off-screen to fight Robotnik again]], and the narrator yelling "Wait, no! Not THAT doctor!"
91	*** With one life in the same episode, Sonic manages to survive the climb section in Marble Zone Act 1, to the narrator's surprise! ...At least until a Batbrain knocks him out.
92	** A couple of times in the third episode, focusing on Sonic CD, Justin Thormann, a staff member for the game, [[RunningGag yells "Metal SONIC!" very loud]], causing time travel to occur by accident. His reason for doing it? "I... really like Metal Sonic."
93	*** When suggested to shout it in reverse, Justin is clearly struggling to do so.
94	*** Made funnier when, the second time he does this, it makes the narrator start sounding like a 1950's narrator, [[AscendedMeme even quoting a variation of the famous "Strange, isn't it?" quote]] from Sonic OVA.
95	----> "[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes And that's all for now, folks!]] Now please, change me back before I think putting meat in gelatin is a good idea! [[VerbalBackspace Yum! I mean, yuck! No!]]"
96	** At the beginning of the Sonic 2 episode, the narrator acts smug and [[TemptingFate claims he can take on the infamous "easy" part of Chemical Plant Act 2]]. Cue him struggling to do so while making an hilarious drowning impression.
97	*** Later in the video, he does make it up top, [[BlatantLies claiming he did it on the first try]], but not letting Sonic say otherwise.
98	---->"Atatata! Not a peep outta you, Sonic!"
99	*** Almost immediately after, he tumbles back into the water with yet another drowning impression.
100	---->[[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 "You're probably wondering how I got myself in this situation."]]
101	** In the same episode, even the narrator himself is flabbergasted at how Robotnik can outrun Sonic in the Death Egg.
102	** In the [=S3&K=] episode of Speed Strats, Evan is admiring the detail of Angel Island with Sonic, but freaks out once the island is set ablaze. His reaction afterwards?
103	--->[[ObviouslyNotFine "Oh - this is fine."]]
104	** When Evan is explaining Tails's abilities, he goes all cutesy around Tails's doggy-paddling underwater while Sonic looks at him, clearly unamused.
105	--->"He can also swim underwater! Look at his cute little doggy paddle! Who's a good boy? Who's a good-? Uh? Ahem."
106	** At the end, he pokes fun at the Player 2 AI being unable to avoid the bombs in [=AIZ2=].
107	--->[[VideoGame/SonicForces "But it doesn't matter what obstacles they put in our way. We'll blow past anything they throw at us!]] Right, Tails? ...Tails?"
108	** In the "Secrets" Speed Strats video, Evan is watching Sonic take on the Death Egg in Sonic 2 and rooting for him... until he realizes Sonic has 3 rings, which isn't possible without Debug Mode!
109	*** In the same episode, Evan prods fun at Sonic again after catching him surrounded by many ring and [=1-Up=] item monitors, even trapping him with the infamous barrel in Carnival Night Zone just for good measure.
110	---->"I know the Death Egg Robot can be tricky without any... hey, WAIT A MINUTE! How do you have 3 rings? ''(gasp)'' [[NoFairCheating YOU'RE CHEATING, AREN'T YOU? I'm disappointed in you! Nothing good ever comes out of cheating...]] ''(Sonic goes Super and takes down the Death Egg Robot easily)'' [[NotSoAboveItAll Okay, ONE good thing comes from cheating.]]"
111	** During the same episode, after Evan mentions how to access Debug Mode in Sonic 2, it seems like SEGA were made aware of [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential what players often do with the Tails AI when using that mode]].
112	--->"Just don't go around messing with Tails, alright?"
113	** In the final episode of the series, "Speedrunning", the speedrunner extraordinaire, Argick, comes up first thing and [[AscendedMeme warns SEGA]] ''[[AscendedMeme NOT]]'' [[AscendedMeme to turn him into an item monitor, but that indeed happens to him, and he is taken out by Sonic]], and only comes back after he's transferred to a fresh monitor.
114	--->'''Argick''': SEGA. Do NOT turn me into an item mon-- ''(he turns into an item monitor)'' [[OhCrap WAIT,]] [[BigNo NOOOOOOO-]]"\
115	'''Evan''': Phew, I finally caught up with you, Sonic. Did you find Argick and learn some of his speedrun strats? ''(Sonic nods in agreement)'' Great! Where is he? ''(they both notice the smashed monitor)'' [[OhCrap Oh no.]]"
116	!!Misc.
117	* With the release of Sonic Origins Plus came a full-blown [[https://youtu.be/QqGWk4lbtY8 infomercial]] in the style of the classic Sonic infomercials from the 90s.
118	** During the question about playing as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy being playable in all games, the boy doesn't question this, instead too confused by the voice saying these things.
119	** "Every Sonic Game Gear title ever released!"[[note]]"Ahem. Except for Sonic [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog28Bit 2]]-in-[[VideoGame/SonicSpinball 1]], which was a compilation game, but it was cancelled."[[/note]]
120	** By the end, the boy ends up passing out from a "Plus Overload", complete with two Flickies from Sonic 1 spinning around his head.
121	** Before the outro to the video, we see a funny disclaimer zipping by.
122	--->"Sonic Origins Plus is not a substitute for nor a part of a well-balanced diet. Please keep Sonic Origins Plus away from sharp objects, fire, toaster ovens, large bodies of water, alternate dimensions, and zoos. Side effects may include extreme satisfaction, overwhelming feelings of joy, fun, reliving your best childhood memories. Please discontinue use of Sonic Origins Plus if you begin to experience: upset stomach, diarrhea, existential dread, flop sweat. All disclaimers not actually intended to disclaim."
123	** And of course, we end it with the Plus 3000 shouting "SEGA!".

126	[[folder:Other]]
127	* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' had a promotion where you could receive it for free with the purchase of any Sega Genesis that came with ''Sonic 1''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp4pg1bOEdM The commercial]], however, [[AdvertisingTropes didn't stop there]].
128	** And then Sega did it again with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxT_2VYtHfE the trailer]] for the ''Videogame/SonicMania'' Collector's Edition. And they went even further.
129	* For April Fools' Day 2016, the Sonic social media guys gave the world [[http://bigthec.at/ Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3]].
130	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SChPv1Z-c0M The 25th-anniversary celebration video]] starts off as nothing more than descriptions of various ''Sonic'' games, each with an image of Sonic from those games. However...
131	** The description of ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' focuses more on [[MemeticMutation Knuckles chuckling, the Barrel of Doom, & Knuckles]].
132	** The description of ''VideoGame/Sonic3DFlickiesIsland'' says "Save the Flickies...[[ScrappyMechanic if you can catch them!]]"
133	** The description of ''VideoGame/SonicR'' ends with "[[MemeticMutation Can you feel the Sunshine?]]"
134	** The description of ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' mentions [[{{Narm}} "all those Eggman Robots"]] and [[ThePowerOfFriendship "the real super power of teamwork!"]]
135	** ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' doesn't get anything but [[LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading the words "Now Loading..."]] [[SelfDeprecation ripped straight from the game's loading screen]].
136	** The description of ''VideoGame/SonicBoom'' simply talks about the positive reception [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom the cartoon]] received for its mix of action and humor, with the actual games going unmentioned.
137	* In the same vein as the Joker singing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells", Eggman sings about his hated nemesis [[https://soundcloud.com/itsamike/sonic-the-hedgehog to the tune of Frosty the Snowman]].
138	* The April Fools' 2019 post involves a game called "Sonic Royale", complete with a QR code to scan for the demo. If you scan the code, you get [[https://twitter.com/wmvnotmp4/status/1112757422047797251 this]].
139	* The mere fact that Sonic became a ''[[VirtualYoutuber VTuber]]'' to promote him more in Japan.
140	* There's a ''cookbook'' in the works, with the in-universe framing device of Amy collecting and compiling recipes, complete with in-character descriptions from the person submitting the recipe, and editors notes from Amy about how it tasted and anything she omitted for time and/or practicality.
141	** The Chaotix get their own entries. Since Charmy is a hyperactive six year old bumblebee, nearly ''all'' of his recipes are named some variation of "Charmy's Sweet Treat". Meanwhile, all of Espio's recipe names are deeply melancholy combined with him being TheComicallySerious in the descriptions.
142	--->'''Espio''' (about his "The Sea-Born Monarch Aids the Ninja's Quest" recipe): No Amy, I ''don't'' think my dish titles are getting overdramatic. Cooking is SeriousBusiness, and the recipe titles should be serious too. "Have fun?" I am having fun! Cream, why are you giggling? You're writing all this down?! No! Wait!
143	--->'''Omochao''': [[NonSequitur Despite the name, there are no queen oysters, jack oysters or ace oysters go go along with king oysters.]]
144	** One of the recipes is Dr. Eggman's "Evil Cookies". They're two small batches of standard oatmeal-macademia cookies, with one being chocolate chip and one being chocolate covered raisin. The catch is that Amy had to edit out the doctor's "evil influence", with the preparation, name and her notes implying that Eggman intends for them to be [[ShellGame served on the same plate with no label.]] Even Eggman's ''cooking'' is a fiendish trap meant to bamboozle anyone who falls for it.

147	[[folder:Fangames]]
148	* From the GameMod (of ''Sonic 1'' and ''2'') ''Sonic Classic Heroes'', you can switch between Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles if playing on Team Hero. In the infamous Labyrinth Zone boss, if you get the idea to swim your way to the top as Tails, [[WhatTheHellHero leaving Sonic and Knuckles to drown]], what will happen instead most of the time is one or both of them will desperately grab onto the swimming Tails, hoping to escape. But Tails can't carry anyone while swimming, so instead, he will tire out instantly and fall down with the other two. Possibly the funniest unintentional use of VideoGameCrueltyPunishment.
