Funny / Sonic Boom Legends

"I mean, what did you expect me to do? Kiss her?" *beat*

In comparison to Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom Legends puts more focus on story and Character Arcs than into the comedy. That said, however, it wouldn't be in the same universe as Boom without it's moments of comedy. Writer Fixers Channel has studied the show's plots and jokes well, and this has been able to pay off into plenty of funny moments.

Episodes

Fox and Found

• When Fixer first takes Alkira to Quayla's Hot Spot, there, they meet Quayla, who, in an Establishing Character Moment, asks Fixer if he and Alkira are on a date.

Informal Occasions

• In the beginning of the episode, we're introduced to Wake, and we're given an Establishing Character Moment to learn what he's like. What's the moment, you may ask? Making a domino track out of Dawn's books.
  • After Dawn scolds him for doing so, he decides to clean up after himself. Just then, Dawn gets a letter in the door, but once she picks it up, Wake snatches it out her hands, saying that she doesn't have to clean up the mess, and not taking much notice to the fact that it's a letter, not a book. The next exchange is hilarious.
  Dawn: Wake, that’s a letter, not a book.
  Wake: Which one? From what I heard, there are 26 of them.
• Dawn then excitedly tells Wake that she won the "Reading Des’ Honour Award," which Wake simply says that says it sounds like the title to a depressing movie.
  • Apparently, she won the award for "Second Most Dedicated Reader" on Forgone Island. Now, you might expect her to be at least a bit upset that she didn't win First, as Wake is, but Dawn tells him that she's fine with it, because all you get for winning first prize is fame, glory, and a duck.
  Dawn: Yeah, but I’m not really a duck person. I prefer chickens myself.
  • For those who don't know, the "duck" is a Pun on the Dux Award, awarded in certain countries.
• When Dawn finally gives in and asks Wake to be her escort, he quickly pulls a top hat out of nowhere, just for his gentlemanly side to be properly unleashed.
  • The next night, Wake escorts Dawn in a gentlemanly fashion, and got fully dressed for the occasion. Also, he speaks in an over-the-top polite voice, with hints of Flowery Elizabethan English. Seeing Wake, Wake, of all people act like this is hilarious. Dawn's uneasiness at the whole situation is also very funny.
• In this episode, we are introduced to Forge, who in this episode, is the doorman for the event that Dawn and Wake, and well as Fixer and Alkira, are attending. Wake uses his new polite behavior on Forge, who can only sigh at all the "fancy talk."
  • Involving Forge in this episode, at one point, Fixer shows Alkira the bowl of punch. However, she is hesitant to try it, saying it "sounds too violent." If that Stealth Pun wasn't funny enough, Forge, as if on cue, zips over to the table, takes Fixer's cup, and says that he'll take the drink if they don't want it. The Stoic personality shown in the beginning of the episode flies right out the window, and he downs the drink and slams the cup down on the table. Alkira's nervous laughter in response to it is also very funny.
  Forge: Ahh, nothing like a bit of violence eh?
• At the end of the episode, after the dreadful night she had, Wake decided to give her a break, and soften up her chair, so she could have a comfy place to sit. Dawn appreciated this a lot, and felt happy and appreciative that Wake had changed for the better... Until it turns out that Wake booby-trapped the chair with a glitter bomb, covering Dawn in glitter. Guess some things never change.

You Barked Up The Wrong Circus

• Emily, like Amy would eventually do, offers everyone's assistance to Barker's circus. Unlike with Team Sonic, the first reaction that the team has is a Big "WHAT?!"?!
• Because he had yet to realize that Barker had a remote to set up the Circus tent, Shift brought Forge along for the heavy lifting with setting up the tent, who says that Shift told him, "there would be pie."
• When asked what he would do for the circus, Erik states that he'd always wanted to try "the plate twirling and cup stacking," since he's "pretty good at putting away dishes."
  • The way that Shift says he wants to be a clown is this mixed with Adorkable.
• Despite the fact that Barker has them locked up in cages, Alley and Quayla are still able to spout out insults at the Stunt Bears. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome, since it shows that their high spirits are unbreakable.
  • Also, for Keiran, (as a strategy to get Alley and Quayla free,) he complains to the Stunt Bears about how they draw him.
  Keiran: Have you seen how bad you both drew me on the new circus posters? Look, you guys can never get my nose right.
• T.W. Barker is ultimately defeated via choking on bad sushi. Seeing T.W. Barker, of all people, get defeated by his own nephew is awesome, but going down THAT way is something both karma-tic and hilarious.
  • He also gets a Vomit Discretion Shot because of this.
    • Keiran's line during it is both awesome, and strangely hilarious:
  Keiran: How many times do I have to tell you? I. Hate. Sushi.

Translator in Disguise

• Alkira's first shown reaction to U.T. is calling him cute, and giving him a poke.
  • After this, Fixer asks Alkira to go grab him the heater to fix the waterlogged robot, calling her "Kira" in the process. Shift then becomes suspicious of the nickname, to which annoys Fixer to no end. The fact that one could get She's Not My Girlfriend vibes from Fixer's reaction doubles the hilarity.
• Tired Fixer. That is all.
  • The fact that the normally nice, cheery Fixer ends up threatening to hit U.T. with a spanner.
    • By the way, what does his threat translate into?
    U.T.: (translating Fixer) It’s ruined my mood for movie marathoning today with Alkira.
• U.T. translates Erik's fake compliment on him as, “He looks like a metal lunchbox on wheels.”
• Later on in the episode, after Erik tampers with the wires and accidentally causes U.T. to tell nothing but lies, Erik goes to Fixer for help. Fixer, still bitter about Shift making him stay up all night repairing U.T., doesn't appreciate Erik's company.
  Erik: (to Alkira in the doorway) Hey, Alkira. Is Fixer home?
  Fixer: (from the other room) No, he is not!
• When Erik tells Alkira and Fixer about U.T.'s problem, Fixer deadpanly asks if he tried turning him off and on again. Could possibly be a reference to The IT Crowd, or more likely, is a Continuity Nod to "Counter Productive," where Knuckles asks Charlie the same thing.
• After having an argument with Lucas over U.T.'s translations of Lucas' words, Shift throws the tomato he was about to buy at Lucas' face. Just before this, they were having a slight argument on if tomatoes are fruits or vegetables, seeing as how tomatoes have seeds. So, in a 90-degrees turn from the tense mood, when Lucas wipes his face off with a cloth, he simply states, "Oh, tomatoes really do have seeds."

What's Mine Is Yours

• While the beginning of the episode is loaded with Nightmare Fuel (specifically, in the nightmare sequence,) and gets a bit tearjerking when Alkira talks about her nightmares, we do get a bit of a funny moment when Alkira, distracted by the thoughts of her nightmare, puts tap water in her cereal, rather than milk.
• When Fixer calls upon Forge for help to get an amethyst for Alkira, Forge agrees, though he states that Fixer owes him coal. Later Forge states that the reason that he went back to save Fixer from Ensham and his goons was because Fixer still owes him coal.

Working Overslime

• When Erik is walking through the Forgone Forest, he steps in slime, and fears the "Monster of the Green Slime" has come to the island. However, despite his fears, he decides to search for it, and snap a photo of it, just so he can put it in his "I-told-you-so" album. Yes, you read that right. An entire "I-Told-You-So" album. The fact that he even HAS that is funny.
  • When Erik finds the culprit to all the slime- who is Buster, not the Monster of the Green Slime- what is Erik's first reaction? Taking a picture of it. With the flash still on from when he took the picture of the owl earlier in the episode.
• When we cut to Dawn's library for the town meeting, we get a couple few funny moments from the cast:
  • First, Sophia offers Shift a chocolate-chip muffin, who accepts. However, in an immediate Mood Whiplash, she pulls him up, and scolds him for slouching at the table.
  • Meanwhile, Alley and Quayla are admiring Akira's new necklace, who reveals to them that Fixer got it for her. Naturally, Quayla's shipper instincts kick in.
  Quayla: So, has Fixer done anything else for you lately?
  • Then finally, Dawn's annoyance at the crowded library, remarking that "it's a library, not a chicken coop."
• After that, Fixer and Forge finally show up, and show the gang the Chaos Gem they got from Ensham and his goons from the previous episode. Wake's first reaction?
  Wake: We’re gonna be rich!
• When Forge tells everyone that Fixer found said gem in the mine, Fixer reveals that he actually took it from Ensham as they were escaping. Seeing as how this means that Fixer technically stole it, some members of the team waste no time to call him out on it. Forge, who might not have realized that Fixer had stolen it up until now, is not pleased, either.
• When Alkira realizes that they had run into her father while they were there, Fixer goes on to tell her that Ensham had taken him captive while he was looking for the amethyst. You can practically FEEL Quayla's shipping dreams coming true at that moment.
  Quayla: The Hero going into danger for his lady friend. This is such a love story.
  • After that, Forge boasts to Fixer that had it not been for him, Fixer would be dead. Sophia IMMEDIATELY steps in to scold both of them for not listening to her warnings about leaving the village. Her "kids these days" line is also very funny, and becomes even funnier when you remember that according to the Easter Information Session, Forge, one of the two Sophia is scolding and calling a "kid," is a year OLDER than Sophia.
    • In the third funny moment in a row, Wake then jokes about how they call him out for his pranks, and yet, one of them was stealing, alongside breaking-and-entering. Dawn didn't think this was too hypocritical, reminding Wake of when he broke her ruler via tossing a thesaurus across the room. Wake's response is golden.
    Wake: It was a revolution against the queen! Besides, I used words, didn't I?
• After finding out that Dawn has a book on the Ancients, Fixers asks Dawn to do research on the Chaos Gem, she states that she can't, already having found a good read in a book called Jacket, about a man who can teleport by just looking at pictures. Wake decides then they HE will do the research that Fixer needs, but is immediately stopped by Dawn, who "doesn't want these books ruined." It appears that she doesn't trust Wake with her books all that much.
• And to top off the opening scene (yes, all these Funny Moments in just the opening scene,) Erik finally shows up to the meeting, and shows off Buster to the rest of the team. Cue Buster immediately coughing up slime on the floor. Dawn immediately starts screaming bloody murder, loud enough to shake the outside trees.
• Evidently, before she sent Buster out on his own way, Sticks left a note on his satchel in case anyone else found him. Knowing that the one writing this is Sticks, master of Insane Troll Logic, you can expect she going to say something completely bonkers. And sure enough, what does the note say?
  My name is Buster and I’m an evil slime bot. If you find me, don’t feed me any bones made by Dr Eggman, or the government spies who tell the alien overlords where my left socks are.
• So, then, Erik decides to keep Buster and make the robot dog his pet, with the okapi's unconditional love]]... until that love wears thin after a day of Buster doing nothing but sliming everywhere.
  • Erik eventually gets to the point where he decides to get Buster's "slime hose" cut. The Black Comedy implications are quite funny when you think about it, as it, along with Buster's reaction could remind one of... well.
• When Erik goes to Forge for getting the hose cut, Forge says that he could, but he doesn't want Buster in the cave. He wasn't looking at Erik when said this, and is confused and concerned when Erik doesn't respond. When he turns around, he sees that Erik made a break for it, and left Buster at the cave. Cue Forge's Unstoppable Rage.
  • While Erik is running like there's no tomorrow away from Forge, he accidentally slams into Fixer. Is Alkira's first reaction to rush to the two's aid and help them up? Nope! Rather, she scolds Fixer for not listening to her when she tells him to look both ways when crossing the street.
• In the end, Buster is able to snatch the Chaos Gem from Forge when the gang isn't looking. In order to get it back, the gang decides to dote on the unsuspecting Buster and approach the gem slowly. However, Fixer decides that NOW is the best time to point out that the plan is working, to which Buster swallows the gem immediately. Erik's reaction is what sells it, though.
  Erik: Great, thanks a lot.
• The entire finale of the episode is nothing but pure Slapstick.
  • When Buster swallows the Chaos Gem, you'd expect that he'd turn into a tentacle monster like last time. But nope! Instead, he projectile vomits slime all over Main Village.
  • Alkira attempts to grab Buster herself, but as soon as she gets close to him, she slips and falls face-first in a puddle of slime.
  • Fixer then tricks Buster into running into a trash can, and traps him inside. However, when Fixer leans on it triumphantly, the trash can begins to rumble, and erupts with slime like a volcano, sending everyone back a notch.
  • Forge decides to end this once and for all, and decides to head-on attack Buster, (to which Fixer immediately realizes that's a bad idea.) Forge jumps head at Buster... and gets sent flying back in a pillar of slime. Fixer had attempted to warn him, though it was too late.
  • When Dawn suggests that they give Buster treats and get the gem, they do just that, but wonder how they're going to retrieve the gem. Immediately, Forge destroys Buster from behind, causing an explosion of mechanical parts and slime.
  Forge: Good. Riddance. If anyone of you, bring another slime spewing animal here, so help me I will smash it on the spot.
  • And finally, Alkira punishes Erik for bringing Buster in and starting all this trouble, by putting him on clean-up duty.

Meteor Not, Here I Come

• Saying the title out loud will give you the giggles.
• In the beginning of the episode, Sophia mentions on how Forge and Fixer plan on catching the Book Thief, before saying, “Much to my disapproval." It also mentions that she turns her head while saying this, possibly doubling as an Aside Glance.
• Upon finding the meteor, Maniac excitedly squees to herself, excited that she'll be the only one in the Village with a meteor, and that the others will be so jealous.
• Even if Maniac's fright and panic over being stuck in Cinda's body is quite the Tear Jerker, Molly's increasing annoyance over Cinda's "forgetfulness" is quite funny.
• Cinda!Maniac calling Sophia "old mama bear."
  • She does this while wondering how many satchels of yeast she has to put into the bread mixture. So, since she doesn't have the slightest clue on how many to put in, she puts in all of them. This can only end so well.
• The scene where Maniac!Cinda returns the Ancient Book to Wake. How fast-paced the scene is and how quickly it ends is kind of hilarious, especially looking at it through Wake's perspective.

Shipped At First Sight

• It beings with Emily and Keiran at Quayla's cafe, out on a date. As soon as Quayla leaves the room to make them milkshakes, Emily laments that coming to the cafe may have been a bad idea, considering Quayla's Shipper on Deck personality, and says she may have a "fangirl stroke." Keiran then reassures her that she'll be fine. Then, in a written Gilligan Cut, Quayla squees over how adorable the two are.
  • After that, she gives them both one large milkshake, rather than the two small milkshakes they ordered. Though they do as her about it, (to which she replies that there was an accident that made it so she had to use one large glass,) they just shrug and decide to roll with it.
• While talking to Erik, Quayla notes that some people are too shy to confuse their feelings for another, causing Erik (who's hinted at having a crush on Quayla) to do a Spit Take.
