* TakeThatScrappy: A recurring element of the series. Roger is not afraid to take it out on characters he hates.
** [[Anime/SonicX Chris Thorndyke]] shows up in "''Riders''" and "''Battle''" for the sole purpose of having the crap beaten out of him. If Roger's hatred of Chris wasn't obvious enough, he created a short Flash game based on the latter parody, called "''[[http://rogerregorroger.deviantart.com/art/Punchbag-the-game-28727161 Punchbag the game!!]]''". The object of the game? Beat up Chris to your heart's content.
*** Notably, when Roger actually parodied ''Sonic X'' itself in 2022 (specifically, the BaseballEpisode), he averted this entirely. Perhaps his hatred of Chris has cooled off over the years.
** Big gets this treatment in pretty much every one of his appearances. DoubleSubverted in "''Adventure''" where he's depicted as a sophisticated, intelligent zoologist, only for the GUN commander to react as though he's the Froggy-obsessed moron he's usually depicted as and throw him out before he can actually tell his side of the story.
** "''Rush Adventure''" gives Marine this treatment, with Sonic and Blaze pushing her around for the entire episode, only to subvert it in the ending by having Marine [[TookALevelInBadass take a level in badass]] and get her own back on them.
** Amy is a borderline example. While she's almost always been portrayed as an AxCrazy, Sonic-obsessed {{Yandere}}, exaggerating the parts of her character that fans have come to hate, she has never been treated with anything like the kind of vitriol that Big or Chris tend to get.
** "''London Olympics''" targets no less than three Scrappys: Toad, Omochao, and Bowser Jr. While Toad and Omochao have leading roles in the plot, Bowser Jr. (much like Chris Thorndyke) shows up for the sole purpose of being brutally killed to demonstrate how much Roger hates him.
** The Deadly Six in ''Lost World'' get this in a more subtle way, as they have even fewer frames of animation than the rest of the cast, and their exit is just a lazy rotation effect into the background. They also never get any lines beyond Zomom's occasional "sandwich". Zavok's recurring appearances in ''Forces'' and ''Team Sonic Racing'' paint him as pathetic for submitting to Eggman.
** Averted in Roger's parody of the infamous first movie trailer, which exclusively pokes fun at its SoundtrackDissonance instead of Sonic's much-loathed design. Played straight in the parody of the actual movie, which ends with Robotnik crash-landing on the mushroom planet and crushing the original movie Sonic in the process.

It's on the main page as an in-series example.


* TakeThatScrappy: The entire premise of ''Rush Adventure'' is Sonic and Blaze making Marine suffer for her bossy attitude by pointing out that as the captain, she should be doing all the fights and dangerous platforming. However, this backfired as Marine TookALevelInBadass and ended up giving them menial chores.


* AcceptableTargets: Politicians. The ''Forces'' parodies have caricatures of UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton, UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump and many others getting into all sorts of antics.

** The depiction of the Chao massacre in "''Adventure''" manages to be somehow hilarious ''and'' somewhat tragic all at the same time, as the adorably cute Chao are curb-stomped by a bunch of moronic warriors screaming in ridiculous voices. You end up getting MoodWhiplash several times over.

** Similarly, Cream redeeming Infinite with a cookie in ''Forces 4'' should by all accounts be NarmCharm (and it's a re-used joke from ''Adventure''), but it somehow works because of the sentimental music and Roger somehow managing to turn Infinite's infamous "I am not weak" line into something that actually makes him sympathetic.

Cleanup. Adaptations do not necessarily follow original works mechanics/happenings. CRT is errors over real world facts not fiction errors.


* CriticalResearchFailure: The end of "''Adventure''" has Roger repeat the [[CommonKnowledge common misconception]] that Chaos and Tikal DiedHappilyEverAfter at the end of the game. This wouldn't be so bad if Roger hadn't previously done an animation on ''VideoGame/SonicBattle'', one that explicitly called attention to the fact Chaos was still around post-''Adventure''. Incidentally, he had used a ''different'' misconception there: that Chaos was re-sealed back in the Master Emerald.

* HilariousInHindsight: At the end of "''Riders''", Jet declares that he will never appear in any Sonic game again. Then ''VideoGame/SonicRidersZeroGravity'' was announced. So many people pointed this out to Roger that he got fed up and made a parody of ''Zero Gravity'' just to shut them up. That parody actually preempted this trope, with Wave making the same declaration followed by "The End?" and a shot of Roger's fans glaring expectantly at him. Sure enough, ''VideoGame/SonicFreeRiders'' was announced, and Roger had to make a parody of ''that'', too. Even if the Sonic Riders brand was killed due to ''Free Riders''' bad reception, Jet and Wave still appear in party games like ''Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games'', meaning Roger was dead wrong. Ironically, Cream ends up declaring she never wants to appear in any Sonic game again at the end of ''Free Riders'', which ended up becoming presciently HarsherInHindsight when she failed to show up for ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' or ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing''.
