Two things: Is that Sonic giggling near the end?

And: What does looking like "the strongest man in the world" have to do with Sonic or even animation?

I saw the forum thread and I initially thought that Sonic would be in a life/car insurance commercial or something

Why would they do such a thing? I mean, what does Sonic got to do with their product anyway?

What's the problem? This is awesome. Sonic's becoming a corporate whore again just like the 90s. And the fact Sonic can be a corporate whore means people care enough to want to advertise with him, which means he's relevant again.

Killjoys. I'm in the company of such utter killjoys. Good grief...

Anyway, as a Sonic fan, this pleases me. Sonic's finally starting to pop-culturally relevant again.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

Huh, interesting. I guess SEGA considers Sonic to be finally out of his slump.

@ Komodin: As a fellow Sonic fan, I wouldn't quite say that, but yes, it is nice to see that he's getting some more recognition, as pleasantly unexpected as it may be.

Still, I wonder why this wasn't brought up in the pre-existing thread we have for this series. Wait, that was cheeky sarcasm.

This was cool, but why does sonic need car insurance? Do they plan on doing Sonic Drift 3 or something?(I would so buy that)

Love the commercial, but seriously: why the fuck would Sonic need car insurance?

But who gives a crap, Sonic is relevant again!

Maybe sonic is officially classified as a vehicle or something.

Sonic does have a car, and Sonic is rich after all.

That's gotta be it. His rings are automatically funneled into his insurance plan to cover his enormous premium.

I think it was the woman who giggled, not Sonic. Sure sounded like her.

And it'd be interesting to see the world cartoonised for a day atleast. grin

And do you see how he treats his own vehicles? He just smashes them to walls when he no longer finds them amusing, like in Generations Seaside Hill. Of course he is gonna claim insurance on that!

Or he is looking for insurance for someone else, maybe? Gave him an excuse to run around.
