* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Breezie and Robotnik Jr. after their HeelFaceTurns. Grounder also openly questions his allegience to Robotnik after becoming intelligent in "GroundertheGenius"

** "You robot chickens make me sick. Get a couple of pints of [[DrunkOnMalts motor oil]] in ya and suddenly you're a tough guy!

* HeyItsThatSound!: The episode "Grounder The Genius" features two of the actual sound effects from the Sonic games[[hottip:*:[[{{VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog}} The]] [[SonicTheHedgehog2 first]] [[SonicCD three]]]] in one part of one scene; specifically, the "jump" and "ring" sound effects.

* HeyItsThatSound! One episode has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V8In4rQqe0 Mario sound effects when Robotnik pushes a few buttons]]. This could be due to the fact that DIC also made the Mario cartoons.

* [=~Haven't You Seen X Before?~=] "What's everybody afraid of?" "Yeah! You'd think they never saw a blue hedgehog before."

* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: and robots and aliens and sausage people and what not.

** While the title theme was used as background music on occasion, Sonic was more often accompanied by an extended remix of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG5D9it4JDE&feature=&p=15B511BF54CAF650&index=0&playnext=1 original title theme from the Sonic games]].

* MythologyGag: Despite being named Robotnik as apposed to Eggman, Robotnik makes a very, very large amount of references to eggs, either in puns or in his general planning (like the Omeletta episode noted above), in reference to his alter-ego; in the beginning of "Robotnikland", he even flies into a rage when Scratch and Grounder attempt to serve him pancakes for breakfast, rather than the egg-related dishes he prefers.

* NotMeThisTime: One episode featured Tails being kidnapped and it wasn't Robotnik's doing.In another episode, somebody steals Sonic's shoes. The fact Coconuts had been caught at the crime scene suggested he had something to do it but Sonic reasoned Coconuts would have captured him instead of just stealing his shoes.

* RapeIsOKWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Implied rather strongly in the "Zoobotnik" episode. See "GettingCrapPastTheRadar".

** The end of Robotnikland is heavily indebted to ''BimbosInitiation'', going as far as to recreate three of that cartoon's visual gags [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDxLSzL-tZk almost scene-for-scene]]

* SquashedFlat: Sometimes happens
* [[StormingTheCastle Storming The Fortress]]: Done with Robotnik's fortress a number of times, but also the ''Attack on the Pinball Fortress''.

* TakenForGranite: Used four times throughout the series: first by Grounder in "Grounder the Genius", then by Scratch and Grounder in "Tails in Charge", then by Coconuts in the episode "The Magic Hassle", "and last by Merlynx in "Hedgehog of the Hound Table", though that time it only affected Sonic's legs.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Scratch and Grounder

* TrapDoor: Robotnik has used a few of these. For an example, Coconuts has been a victim of one, sometimes multiple in the same episode. One was even mobile with HammerSpace inside it.

*** It's also hilarious in [[FanDisservice a different kind of]] [[{{Pun}} hindsight]].

* YouAnsweredYourOwnQuestion: "What would I want with a two-ton baby ape who can lift giant rocks, fire bananas like a shotgun-- ''HUH?'' and help me capture that pesky hedgehog SO ROBOTNIK WILL TAKE BACK!"
* YoutubePoop: A frequently used source, if only for the sheer number of ways that Robotnik can be made to say 'penis'.

* IceCreamKoan - Master Kwai Chang Crane perpetually rode the line on this. Some of his statements were alarmingly sensible.

* {{Hellevator}} "Robotnikland"

*** Scratch and Grounder were popular enough with Sega to gain their own Expies in the form of Decoe and Bocoe from SonicX and Orbot and Cubot from SonicColors.

** The first episode's [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle Sonic Says]] segment showed Sonic and Tails surrounded by Badniks. Tails suggests they call 911 and Sonic tells him not to do that unless it's a real emergency. Although Sonic is very capable of trashing an army of Badniks, children could very easily get the wrong impression and think that {{good old fisticuffs}} is the right approach when surrounded by bigger, stronger, and possibly armed attackers. Possibly, the writers themselves realised that this was a stupid lesson to teach kids, so in a later Sonic Says, Tails is being chased by Badniks, and calls for help by a nearby police officer. He arrests the Badniks, and Sonic congratulates Tails for doing the right thing.

* ChristmasSpecial ''Sonic Christmas Blast''

* AscendedExtra: Several background characters from the second (officially aired) pilot "Sonic Search and Smash Squad" are used as opponents in the Genesis video game ''Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'', being given slight redesigns and individual names and personalities most of them didn't even have long enough to establish in their one appearance in the show. Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts themselves are ascended from badnik designs from ''SonicTheHedgehog2''.
