Sonic Boom - The new Sonic cartoon

Yeah, the part with Sonic, Amy and Sticks acting "hip" was sort of funny at first, but the longer it went on, the more cringe worthy it got.

And is that how 'murican kids talk IRL nowadays? I just thought it was some bad meme.

I wouldn't know how they talk, since I don't live there.

You guys are just a bunch of squares. Need to get with times if you want to be way past cool.

And yes, it is funny when cartoons use street language, it's not something I can say I see a lot outside of Adventure Time, maybe. I'm not a kid anymore, or up to date with any internet slang beyond "smh" (which is stupid and lazy to me, why not just say the phrase, lmao at this laz-E-NES), but I recognize the phrases they're using, and they're quite funny in their spontaneity.

Oh, it was amusing at first. But then it kinda dragged on.

And I don't hang around kids, since I'm not a creep.

... Then again, I have no idea what age anyone is here. And I prefer it that way. Anonymity in name, age and gender is what makes the internet wonderful.

Slang always sounds ridiculous if you aren't part of the demographic using it. Doesn't matter what time in history you go to.

That's why I don't use it in public.

That's maybe the reason why I get annoyed when reviewers use english slang like "I don't give a shit" or something like that.

I'm from South America, it gets annoying to hear and read those. It makes you look pretentious.

Slang should sound natural...you should be able to tell when someone is forcing it.

Ah, so you're stuck waiting for this apparently French-animated cartoon to come out, same as the rest of us.

Seriously, the French episodes are usually 4-6 episodes ahead of where we are. Haven't seen this happen since Code Lyoko.

I'm glad I came back to this show; I just watched Chilidog Afternoon and realized Knuckles is probably one of the best parts about the show.

Stupid or.....MURDER? (Dramatic music and zoom)

And what the hell is in Kuckles jumping over Amy and saying when they land"this is my first robot"? And Eggman commenting on it?

That confuses you more that "murder" line? Because I found it to be completely random. I think its a joke on "accident...or murder" lines in crime shows, but that doesn't change it was reeealy random.

Anyway, Knuckles stopped Amy from smashing his Vacuum-Fan 200 since Tails was in it, and then made excuses so Eggman wouldn't suspect anything. Thats it. Which BTW I like, that Knuckles can show some competency, especially when he needs to. I hate Straw Loser characters.

"Knuckles. I'm a stronger word than hot!"

Eggman still brings up his father?

"Crazy enough to get this story started!" They aren't even trying to be subtle about it anymore.

So They never noticed the robots come from the lair? And his idea to keep his robots is to hide them? I don't get his logic.

Well this was a lazy episode.

Well, I'll say.

Story is rather unfocused, especially Team Sonic heat subplot.

It's hard to judge Boom since even weakest episodes has funny scenes ("My inventions, monitoring, toaster, robots, other toaster..", robot hiding scene etc.) but by the time guest arrived, it was definitely getting weaker.

Sonic Boom is now being moved to Boomerang. Take that as you will.

Network Decay is a bitch.

Well, it's true they're putting Boom on Boomerang, but they're starting with the first episode, so said episodes are new to Boomerang.

Also, there are still new episodes airing in the future on CN in the usual timeslot (this week's episode, "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies", for example), so Boom's not moving to Boomerang— they're just adding it to the Boomerang schedule; heck, as far as I'm concerned, this means more Boom airings. Crisis averted.

Man, that was scary.

If Sonic Boom moving was the scariest highlight of your week, I have some bad news for ya.

So I watched the No Robots allowed episode. Man that was weak. It was a plot about nothing!

Now the comparison with Seinfeild is more fitting, but still, i'm still shocked that Eggman, being the villain that constantly attacks the village, is scared of being deported. That's stupid, even by cartoons standards.

Also, I watched Shadow episode.

Huh, I Knew It!, Shadow is the Only Sane Man in the whole show. "Sonic being a disgrace to the hedgehogs", that's new. But the fact Sonic (or Amy) doesn't say anything is inmensely dissapointing. I still manage to laugh, though, and Shadow character was OK.

Okay so I'm kinda curious about this show but not curious enough to watch all of it, so... ... can anyone throw a bunch of recommended episodes at me, please?

Let's see... "My Fair Sticksy", "Dude, Where's My Eggman?", "Cowbot", "The Meteor", "How to Succeed in Evil Without Really Trying","Eggman Unplugged", "New Year's Retribution","It Wasn't Me, It Was the One-Armed Hedgehog"... There, I narrowed it down.

I guess start off with "Translate this". And the Shadow episode seems to be pretty popular right now.

"Can an Evil Genius Crash on Your Couch for a Few Days?" is also a pretty hilarious episode, if you weren't planning on looking at that one already.

Whatever episode has Sonic and Dr. Eggman working together while the rest of the team bickers, that was probably one of the good ones. And maybe whatever episodes give Knuckles or Cubot more chances to be silly.

That would be "Curse of the Buddy Buddy Temple".

Also, Boomerang just finished airing "The Sidekick" as part of Boom's premiere there and is now airing "Evil Genius". See? Nothing to worry about.
