Go To

Dr. Eggman hires Dave the Intern from Meh Burger to work for him.

Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Bastard Understudy: Dave the Intern ultimately turns on Dr. Eggman after becoming fed up with doing menial chores instead of any real evil.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Tails' Reverse Polarizer.
  • Evil Is Petty: Eggman cuts in front on Sonic in line at Meh Burger.
  • Failed Attempt at Drama: Dave attempts to proclaim his revenge on Dr. Eggman...while taking someone's order at work
    "They'll pay for this! They're all going to pay! *laugh*
    (beat)
    (to a customer) "You want fries with that?"
  • Hypocritical Humor: Eggman accuses Sonic and his friends for cutting the waiting line when he himself cut the line.
  • Inventional Wisdom: Averted as a plot point. Neither Doomsday device has an off-switch, which Eggman and Tails lampshade. The rest of the episode is about trying to get the machines to cancel each other out.
  • Promoted Fanboy: In-universe, Dave is a huge Eggman fanboy who gets to be his intern after impressing the good doctor with how much he knows about Eggman's battle strategies.
