Funny / Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)

Despite being the darkest take on the Sonic series, Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) does have its moments of comedy, some of it by mandate.

• Tails' Potty Emergency in the pilot episode, "Head or Tails". Seeing him shaking up and down having to pee really badly is both funny and adorable at the same time.
  • Tails is on look-out and Robotnik's forces are about to attack. Sonic asks if he can see anything. Tails replies, "Sure, millions of things! Rocks, mountains, trees..." Sonic looks up no doubt thinking, "Thank you, Captain Obvious".
• In "Sonic and Sally", when the Robot!Sally is robotised again (yes, apparently they can do that), while the real Sally is being taken home by Sonic. The dialogue is absolutely priceless.
  (Sonic and Sally on intercom to Robotnik.)
  Sonic: You were close, Robotnik, but close only counts in horseshoes.
  Sally: Have a dreadful day.
  (Sonic whips out a power ring, and the two lovebirds are away. Then, Snively appears on another screen)
  Snively: The princess is roboticized, sir, but there seem to be some glitches.
  (Robot!Sally is shooting lasers at everything in sight!)
  Robotnik: You fool! Get that off of...
  (Robot!Sally shoots a laser at the screens with Robotnik on them, causing them and other screens to break.)
  • Sonic impersonating Robotnik's voice with a glass.
  Sonic: Open cell number 54!
  Computer: Voice print approved. Hand print necessary for certification.
  Sonic: Open this cell or I’ll rip out your electronic brain!
  Computer: Certification unnecessary. You are Robotnik.
  • After Robot!Sally gives Tails the funny kiss, she gives a Disapproving Look, as if thinking, "Geez, this is what I have to put up with?"
• Listen to Sonic's "love" poem to Sally in "Warp Sonic".
  • Sonic and Antoine's response to Griff hitting on Sally is basically getting into a dick-measuring contest.
• In "Super Sonic", Rotor claims that he is working on a big project...but by the end of the episode, we find out that he was only screwing in a lightbulb.
• Bunnie reading Little Red Riding Hood to Tails in "Sonic Racer" is both funny and adorable, especially this bit:
  Tails: That wolf is nasty, huh Bunnie?
  Bunnie: Nasty as a one-eyed snake, sugah.
• Dulcy crashing into a tree in "Game Guy". It may have been done many times before, but there is something about it that makes you laugh off your chair.
• Robotnik gets one in "Sonic Conversion" when Sonic pretends to "surrender". After Sonic explains that he can't take the stress anymore, Robotnik gives this gem: "Oh please. Something's rotten in Topeka...wherever that is."
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: As many a person will tell you, there actually is something rotten in Topeka!
• In "No Brainer", Tails succeeds in getting a power ring necessary to restore Sonic's memory. Sally congratulates him like he just won a soccer game, "Great job, honey" and kissing him on the cheek. His response is an embarrassed/disgusted "Ew, Aunt Sally!" Seeing the leader of the Freedom Fighters act like an embarrassing soccer mom is both funny and sweet.
• Antoine's attempt to learn martial arts from Bunnie in "Fed Up With Antoine". He tries to kick a dummy of Robotnik, but ends up throwing it through Sonic's window. Sonic angrily throws it back out at Antoine, who tries again, only to be bounced off it and flies through Sonic's window himself. Sonic then throws Antoine out the house.
  • Even better: he was outclassed by Tails. Y'know, the ten-year old.
• The above continues into its companion episode "Ghost Busted". Antoine claims to have seen a ghost and boasts about using King Fu on him the next time they meet. Antoine does some martial arts moves... and falls down the same ditch where Sonic rescued him. Chuck Norris would not be proud.
  • Earlier when Antoine falls the first time, he screams "I AM FALLING!"
• Sonic and Sally's conversation about Lazaar's computer in "Super Sonic".
  Sonic: Come on, Sal! Lazaar's magic spells could really help us kick some Robotnik tail!
  Sally: But you might wake Lazaar.
  Sonic: Mwah? Faster than lightning, quieter than a mouse. I'm there and back before you know I'm even gone!
  Sally: Will you be serious for a minute?
  Sonic: (looks at his watch) Thirty seconds is my limit.
  Sally: (through Sonic's whistling) Someday, you'll realize that speed is no substitute for common sense-
  Sonic: Time's up!
  Sally: (rolls eyes)
  Sonic: Snooze, you lose. Gotta cruise!
  Sally: Be careful, Sonic!
  Sonic: (speeds off) It's magic time!
  Sally: (shakes head and sighs) Boys...
  • Right after Sonic's personal encounter with Lazaar.
  Sonic: Why does everything have to be so DIFFICULT?
• "Ro-Becca". The whole flippin' episode. Words cannot describe it. But some of the greatest examples include:
  • Sonic and Rotor knocking down the door that Antoine was standing behind, causing him to be Squashed Flat.
  • Antoine out in the rain, complaining about how it has been a terrible day for him, and then yelling, "WHAT ELSE COULD HAPPEN???" Only to be struck by lightning immediately afterwards, and then shooting up in the air, wailing like a dying cat. He then lands right in Ro-Becca's arms.
  • Ro-Becca giving Antoine a massage. Made especially hilarious by how wrong it looks...
• Naugus morphing Robotnik's head in "The Void". Made all the funnier with Snively laughing about it and the fact that Jim Cummings did all of the animal sounds made by Robotnik.
  • Hell Robotnik's panicky disposition throughout a lot of the episode are among the handful of Nightmare Retardant moments in the show where he resorts to almost his Eggman counterparts' level of comedy. In particular the expression he makes when he thinks Sonic is about to release Naugus.
• Sonic and Nicole's friendship is hilarious. He often becomes exasperated with her technobabble-filled explanations, giving her the indication to speak in short term. It eventually evolves into Nicole speaking in slang to Sonic whenever they chat, much to Sally's irritation - (Nicole: "Sonic, my main hedgehog, wattup?" Sally: "I hate when she talks like that").
  • When talking to Sonic, she starts sounding almost like a proto-GLaDOS
• This bit from "Cry of the Wolf":
  Robotnik: Snively.
  Snively: Sir?
  Robotnik: Have you noticed there are caves along the top of the canyon wall, but none at ground level?
  Snively: Oh. Yes, Sir.
  Robotnik: What does that tell you?
  Snively: That the wolves... *yelps* used to be very tall?
  • What sells it is Robotnik's irritated reaction.
• "Drood Henge" has the touching scene of Sally allowing to Tails to accompany Sonic on the mission, accepting the fact that he's growing up. She tells Dulcy to get going...but she's still crying over the previous scene. Sally's reaction just screams, "Oh, for crying out loud". Mother of Dragons, Sally is not.
• "Spyhog": Snively tortures Antoine by making escargot... with... ''MARGARINE!''
• In Part one of "Blast to the Past", Sonic and Sally are using the Time Stones to travel back in time, but they need to focus on when and where they have to go.
  Sonic and Sally: Palace Fountain, 3224. Palace Fountain, 3224.
  Sonic: *Thinking of chilidogs* Palace Fountain, 32 chilidogs.
  Sally: Sonic!
