| 3 | Jehtt is an Internet content creator known for [[GagDub comedically dubbing]] over scenes from existing media, most notably (but not exclusively) the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series. Their channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Lmytq3AlvcJ-34If_jDyw here]]. |
| 4 | ---- |
| 5 | !!Jehtt's works contain examples of: |
| 6 | * AcronymsAreEasyAsAybeecee: Discussed in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrk8sqZfsgI "It's pronounced GIF"]]. Sonic and Shadow get into an argument over the pronunciation of the acronym of "GIF" (Sonic pronounces it like the word "gift", Shadow pronounces it like "jif") before starting to mangle other acronyms. After saying a few, Sonic stops him when he's surprised to learn that "laser" is an acronym. |
| 7 | * AdaptationalModesty: Discussed in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xClIpiIRp5c "The Truth about Rouge"]], where Shadow claims to be responsible for Rouge's redesign in ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'': |
| 8 | -->'''Shadow:''' I made them draw Rouge with fewer sexual features so that you wouldn't be horny! Reducing your blood flow to make you a millisecond slower. Slow enough for me to steal the Chaos Emerald.\ |
| 9 | ''(Shadow teleports away)''\ |
| 10 | '''Police:''' Police! You're going to horny jail! Prepare to be bonked!\ |
| 11 | '''Sonic:''' Wait, the point is I'm ''not'' horny. |
| 12 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjgum1AZgxc "I heard you like bad boys"]]: |
| 13 | -->'''Amy:''' Yeah, why?\ |
| 14 | '''Sonic:''' Not to brag, but I'm literally bad at everything.\ |
| 15 | '''Amy:''' Meet me at eight. |
| 16 | * AntiHumor: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6e1_IlvmQs "What is Ligma"]] starts at this: as Omega doesn't understand the infamous "[[WhatsAHenway Ligma]]" joke, Shadow [[DontExplainTheJoke has to explain it]], and the conversation takes an unexpected turn... before [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame Omega does something else with the joke]]. |
| 17 | --> '''Shadow:''' Ligma isn't a thing. So naturally, you ask "What is ligma?" and I say "ligma balls" which sounds like "lick my balls"; which is funny because you wouldn't do that. Probably.\ |
| 18 | '''Omega:''' I lack organs for licking.\ |
| 19 | '''Shadow:''' No, not you wouldn't because you can't. You wouldn't because... it's gay? I think? [[EveryoneHasStandards Am I being homophobic?]] |
| 20 | * ArtShift: During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yQhgkNjI2o "Team Chaotix Becomes Youtubers"]] there's a brief moment where the video goes from ''Sonic X'' footage to screenshots with text on them and to plush dolls when Vector discusses meme formats. |
| 21 | -->''(the video switches to screenshots)''\ |
| 22 | '''Vector:''' What if we went a bit more low budget?\ |
| 23 | '''Espio:''' No, we're not funny to get away with that.\ |
| 24 | ''(the video switches to plush dolls)''\ |
| 25 | '''Vector:''' Well, how about a homemade look?\ |
| 26 | '''Espio:''' That would definitely get marked as "Made for Kids."\ |
| 27 | ''(the video switches back to the ''Sonic X'' footage)''\ |
| 28 | '''Vector:''' ''(through gritted teeth)'' [[invoked]][[AnimationAgeGhetto And the cartoon footage won't?]] |
| 29 | * BattleRapping: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd5SlaCfgHQ "Maria Robotnik vs Gun. Epic Rap Battles Of History"]]. [[CurbStompBattle Just guess what immediately happens.]] |
| 30 | * BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6e1_IlvmQs "What is Ligma"]], Shadow tries and fails to use a "[[WhatsAHenway Ligma]]" joke on Omega, who doesn't understand it and demands Shadow explain the joke. He still doesn't understand it after that, and gives an instruction to Shadow which leads to that moment: |
| 31 | -->'''Omega:''' Comprehension error. To install humor driver, insert the correct [=CDs=].\ |
| 32 | '''Shadow:''' What [=CDs=]--\ |
| 33 | '''Omega:''' '''''S[-EE DEEZ NUUUUTS!-]'''''\ |
| 34 | '''Shadow:''' Oh my God…\ |
| 35 | '''Omega:''' '''L[-OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!-]'''\ |
| 36 | '''Shadow:''' I should have stayed dead. |
| 37 | * BlackComedy: Their videos are chock full of it. Examples include Maria [[WouldHurtAChild being shot dead during a rap battle]] and Slippy [[CruelAndUnusualDeath being (literally) roasted on Solar]]. |
| 38 | ** There is also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40TJ3156G48 this unique way]] of describing ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'''s morality mechanic. On the Hero path, Shadow and Sonic race for a Chaos Emerald. On the Dark path, Black Doom orders Shadow to [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror destroy the South Tower of the World Trade Center.]] |
| 39 | * BondOneLiner: Falco in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJLrllcK-qI "Star Fox goes to the sun and dies"]] has this to say to Fox after he gets burned alive: |
| 40 | -->'''Falco:''' Serves you right, HOT HEAD! |
| 41 | * BrainsAndBrawn: A ''verbal'' example. In "[[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj2gNCP06uGAxX7SfEDHTsWCksQwqsBegQIERAG&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZIF_c0e22Bw&usg=AOvVaw3r5SsVd_uG8azXWVxhcLc7&opi=89978449 I bet you can't make a sentence without the letter A]]" Sonic challenges Tails and Knuckles to, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well]], make a sentence without using any words containing the letter A: while the fox boy [[GentlemanAndAScholar shows his extended vocabulary]], the echidna has a more... [[TerseTalker direct approach]]. |
| 42 | -->'''Tails:''' You thought you just did something there, didn't you? [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but numerous sentences could be constructed without employing the first letter of the English lexicon.]]\ |
| 43 | '''Knuckles:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you.]] |
| 44 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yQhgkNjI2o When the Chaotix find themselves strapped for cash]], Charmy suggests that they become [=YouTubers=] by showing Vector and Espio the "It's pronounced GIF" video. |
| 45 | -->'''Espio:''' So they just… dub over the cutscenes?\ |
| 46 | '''Charmy:''' Yeah, but they call it a meme [[SelfDeprecation for some reason.]]\ |
| 47 | '''Vector:''' I don't know, Charmy. After the whole "[[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog computer room]]" thing, I don't really wanna do memes.\ |
| 48 | '''Charmy:''' This has eight million views!\ |
| 49 | '''Vector:''' [[FavouritismFlipFlop I've always wanted to do memes!]] We could do this easily! |
| 50 | * BrickJoke: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sUR6ylVH7E "Sonic Evades his Taxes"]], Sonic says he never thought about who leaves behind all the gold rings he collects, and theorizes that it might be Eggman. The video ends with Eggman revealing that the IRS arrested him for not giving 1099 forms to whoever picks up the rings. Sonic then declares [[PrepareToDie ¿You die tonight."]] |
| 51 | * CelibateHero: Jet in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DzDicQyxB0 "I haven't lost my virginity"]] has this to say to Sonic: |
| 52 | -->'''Sonic:''' You may touch the finish line, [[VirginShaming but you've never touched a woman]]!\ |
| 53 | '''Jet:''' You're right, I haven't lost my virginity.\ |
| 54 | '''Sonic:''' Huh?\ |
| 55 | '''Jet:''' [[InsultBackfire Because I never lose]]! See you later, sex-haver! Ha ha ha ha ha!\ |
| 56 | '''Sonic:''' Well, if I can't take his trophy, then I'll have to take his virginity!\ |
| 57 | '''Jet:''' ''(in the distance)'' WHAT THE FUCK?! |
| 58 | * DeconstructiveParody: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AUOc8y815E "His jaw broke"]] shows that the big MouthFlaps of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' characters are dangerous for their jaws, especially when DerangedAnimation is at play. |
| 59 | -->'''Eggman:''' Only fools talk with their mouths. That's why Chaos is the perfect ally — [[NoMouth he doesn't have one]]! |
| 60 | * DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLOjkuVtQTs "I have mental illness"]] Infinite uses being a nerudivergent minor (despite being neither) to justify wanton murder. |
| 61 | -->'''Infinite''': It would be ''problematic'' for you to criticize me.\ |
| 62 | '''Sonic''': You killed a bunch of people.\ |
| 63 | '''Infinite''': I'm literally neurodivergent, and a minor.\ |
| 64 | '''Sonic''': Okay? [[invoked]][[DiagnosedByTheAudience Me]] [[KidHero too]]. I didn't kill a bunch of people. |
| 65 | * DisappointedByTheMotive: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLOjkuVtQTs "I have mental illness"]], Sonic is less than impressed that Infinite turned to villainy because he was bullied by Shadow. |
| 66 | -->'''Infinite''': I have trauma, Sonic.\ |
| 67 | '''Sonic''': [[SarcasmMode Ohhhh, you're opening up! Let me hear the traumatic backstory that justifies all your actions]].\ |
| 68 | '''Infinite''': Shadow bullied me.\ |
| 69 | '''Sonic''': ''(in a completely flat tone)'' Shadow bullied you. That's your trauma.\ |
| 70 | '''Infinite''': Oh, you think people can't be traumatized by bullying?\ |
| 71 | '''Sonic''': Not what I said. |
| 72 | * DumbassHasAPoint: When Vector tells Charmy in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usf06ziW8z4 "They are not like us"]] that frogs don't talk since they're animals, Charmy retorts that they (the Chaotix) are ''also'' animals, something Espio notes is not wrong, though Vector insists that there is a difference between anthropomorphic and non-anthropomorphic animals. |
| 73 | * EarthDrift: {{Inverted}}. Real-life countries are typically used in the videos in place of [[FantasyCounterpartCulture their counterparts]] (i.e. the United States instead of the United Federation). |
| 74 | * EasyImpersonation: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuaddpQA6Sw "Hey guys, I found Sonic"]], Knuckles delivers a guy he hired to impersonate Sonic for the [[VideoGame/SonicForces the Resistance]]. Silver orders the Sonic actor to leave, only for a guy playing Shadow to appear declaring "I must avenge [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]!" |
| 75 | -->'''Charmy:''' Is this the guy from [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 the movie?]]\ |
| 76 | '''Knuckles:''' No, he's the real thing. Tell 'em, Sonic!\ |
| 77 | '''"Sonic":''' Yeah, gotta eat chili dogs! ''(turns to Knuckles, sotto voce)'' Did I say that right?\ |
| 78 | '''Espio:''' Sonic hasn't sounded like that [[Creator/JaleelWhite since the 90s]]!\ |
| 79 | '''Amy:''' [[LoveMakesYouDumb Seems legit to me]].\ |
| 80 | '''Vector:''' Where did you even find this guy?\ |
| 81 | '''Knuckles:''' Craigslist… ''Zone?'' |
| 82 | * EmbarrassingNickname: [[VideoGame/StarFox Pigma Dengar]] gets one in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBA5hPbOw5I "My name is Pigma"]]: |
| 83 | -->'''Wolf:''' Can't let you do that, Star Fox!\ |
| 84 | '''Pigma:''' Long time no see!\ |
| 85 | '''Falco:''' Who's the swine?\ |
| 86 | '''Pigma:''' How dare you! I am Pigma Dengar, and I--\ |
| 87 | '''Falco:''' [[invoked]] [[MemeticMutation PIGMA BALLS!]] Hahahaha!\ |
| 88 | '''Fox and Slippy:''' ''OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!''\ |
| 89 | '''Pigma:''' God dammit, this happens ''every time!'' |
| 90 | * EntendreFailure: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slIxAWwg1vY "Babe, I'm wet"]], Sonic takes Amy saying she's wet [[LiteralMinded too literally]]. |
| 91 | -->'''Sonic:''' You want a paper towel?\ |
| 92 | '''Amy:''' No, I want more than that.\ |
| 93 | '''Sonic:''' You want two paper towels?\ |
| 94 | '''Amy:''' No, I want something big and round!\ |
| 95 | '''Sonic:''' Damn, ''bitch'', you want the whole roll?! ''(Amy starts chasing Sonic with her hammer)'' |
| 96 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 97 | ** Silver happens to be so gullible that Mephiles is [[LetMeGetThisStraight actually taken aback]] by it. |
| 98 | ** When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2sDx0Y_I-k Eggman takes over the United States' healthcare system]], Shadow keeps informing him that the US has him beaten to the punch on what he plans to do to said system. He expresses revulsion and disbelief throughout, and downright cuts Shadow off when he starts to tell him about the racism in the system. |
| 99 | --->'''Eggman:''' I'm not sure if I should be proud of my country or disgusted by it.\ |
| 100 | '''Shadow:''' Maybe both. |
| 101 | ** PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=x0Z9I0hvwLo&pp=ygUMI2R4Z2VuZXJhdGVk "That's naughty, Sonic"]], where Eggman uses a machine on Sonic to reveal the latter's fetishes; when Sonic turns into his [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed werehog form]] as a result, Eggman is not particularly pleased and almost immediately has him ThrownOutTheAirlock. |
| 102 | --->'''Eggman:''' No! You're... A [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]]?!\ |
| 103 | '''Sonic:''' Wasn't it obvious?\ |
| 104 | '''Eggman:''' Why would it...? Actually, in hindsight, yes. |
| 105 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Shadow may be proud of being inflammatory on Twitter, but he has some limits. For example, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6e1_IlvmQs "What is Ligma"]], he worries his joke may actually be homophobic. |
| 106 | * FixFic: PlayedForLaughs with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxVc9Kx-qfI "How Sonic X Should Have Ended"]]: |
| 107 | -->'''Chris:''' Sonic! Don't leave, you're my OnlyFriend. My classmates bully me because they think I'm a furry, and my parents only let me eat rocks! You're the only good thing I have left! Please!\ |
| 108 | '''Sonic:''' Chris. ''(lets go of Chris's hand before giving him a thumbs up)'' Cope! |
| 109 | * FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: PlayedForLaughs — when Infinite tries to justify his massacre in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLOjkuVtQTs "I have mental illness"]] with the fact that he's a neurodivergent minor who was bullied by Shadow, Sonic rebukes it by claiming that plenty of bullied neurodivergent people don't go on murderous rampages. |
| 110 | ->'''Sonic:''' Most people who get bullied don't end up killing people!\ |
| 111 | '''Infinite:''' Some of them do.\ |
| 112 | '''Sonic:''' Shadow bullies me every day and I'm fine!\ |
| 113 | '''Silver:''' You are?\ |
| 114 | '''Sonic:''' Okay, maybe I'm not fine, but I don't kill people for fun! |
| 115 | * FunWithSubtitles: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ao7kUfVFc "You changed the subtitles?!"]], Shadow uses a Chaos Emerald to change what the subtitles say Sonic is saying, much to the latter's annoyance. |
| 116 | -->'''Sonic's dialogue according to the subtitles:''' You're totally radical. "Radical" is the best way to describe Shadow and is not at all outdated slang.\ |
| 117 | '''Sonic's actual dialogue:''' Really, dude? "Radical"? What year is it? |
| 118 | * FurryConfusion: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usf06ziW8z4 "They are not like us"]] has Team Chaotix argue about the differences between anthropomorphic animals like themselves, and regular animals like the frogs of the jungle they're in. It is capped off by the appearance of a non-sapient crocodile that sends Vector straight into a HeroicBSOD. |
| 119 | * GratuitousJapanese: Shadow ''recites Literature/TheBible in Japanese'' in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNg5V8KMmHo&ab_channel=Jehtt "Will you date me?"]] on top of not breathing to refuse Sonic's request to go out with him. |
| 120 | -->'''Sonic:''' I would have preferred you beat me up and called me "gay"! |
| 121 | * GratuitousSpanish: Shadow bids Sonic goodbye with "Adios, amigo" in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgJ8ahGQl3s "I can't believe he said this"]] after stealing the latter's passport in order to go to Mexico. |
| 122 | * HeroicBSOD: |
| 123 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vI5M9GRCKo "No, you're cringe"]] begins with Black Doom sending Shadow into one by calling him "cringe"; Professor Gerald's pre-recorded message snaps Shadow out of it by showing him a meme with Black Doom as the Soyjak and him as the Chad. |
| 124 | ** Vector gets into one at the end of "They are not like us" after seeing a non-anthropomorphic crocodile. |
| 125 | --->'''Vector:''' Maybe God ''has'' forsaken us... |
| 126 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: When [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Mephiles]] tells Silver that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRsnj9M2eXM he must kill Sonic.]] |
| 127 | -->'''Mephiles:''' Now, [[LampshadeHanging I know it may be difficult to believe with such little evidence]], but if you'll allow me to explain why...\ |
| 128 | '''Silver:''' You're right, I have to kill him!\ |
| 129 | '''Mephiles:''' [[DoubleTake Wait, what?]]\ |
| 130 | '''Silver:''' Just tell me what to do!\ |
| 131 | '''Mephiles:''' That's all it took? A Photoshop of Sonic on fire?\ |
| 132 | '''Silver:''' [[WhatAreRecords What's Photoshop?]]\ |
| 133 | '''Mephiles:''' Anyways, so… you trust me?\ |
| 134 | '''Silver:''' With my life.\ |
| 135 | '''Mephiles:''' Even though I'm acting, like, [[ObviouslyEvil super evil.]]\ |
| 136 | '''Silver:''' Well, you did have really convincing evidence.\ |
| 137 | '''Mephiles:''' And if I say something is a good idea, no matter how ridiculous it seems…\ |
| 138 | '''Silver:''' [[SuperGullible Then it's a good idea! I am 100% on board with whatever you say!]]\ |
| 139 | '''Mephiles:''' I see. ''(laughs)'' Well, in that case… ''(presses a button, causing the computer to start displaying Bored Apes)'' Have you ever heard of [=NFTs=]? |
| 140 | * InformedSpecies: In [[https://youtu.be/yQRyxiHO42k "The Wild Hedgehog"]], the documentary narrator points out that not only does Sonic not even look remotely like a hedgehog, but he doesn't look like any existing animal. When he hears that Sonic can ''talk'', he sounds outright horrified. |
| 141 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wt6UZTo7Ao "You're kind of a jerk, Sonic"]], [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 Tom]] tells Sonic that he has a bad habit of doing this, and he brings up [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog Shadow]], [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight Merlina]], and [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings Shahra]] as examples. |
| 142 | -->'''Tom:''' Actually, it's kind of weird that most of these are with human women.\ |
| 143 | '''Sonic:''' Whoa, hey, [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 you do not want to bring up my relationship with human women]], okay? [[HypocriticalHumor Now that's insensitive!]]\ |
| 144 | '''Tom:''' I can't wait to see how you bully [[VideoGame/SonicFrontiers Sage]] when you get to the Starfall Islands.\ |
| 145 | '''Sonic:''' Hey, come on, [[WouldntHurtAChild she's a child.]] I wouldn't do that to her. Unless she was being a dick. |
| 146 | * InsistentTerminology: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cba9yh_Jv6g "I thought you were pro-choice"]], Shadow didn't kill that GUN agent; he [[DistinctionWithoutADifference performed a 97th trimester abortion]]. |
| 147 | -->'''Sonic:''' …That just sounds like murder. |
| 148 | * InstantlyProvenWrong: While [[YouSayTomato arguing over the pronunciation of the word ".gif"]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrk8sqZfsgI "It's pronounced GIF"]], Sonic demands that Shadow name one word that starts with the letter "G" that sounds like the letter "J". Shadow immediately answers with "gentrification". |
| 149 | -->'''Sonic:''' Shoot! Shoulda thought of that! I was ''just'' in San Francisco! |
| 150 | * InteractiveNarrator: Sonic notices the documentary narrator talking about him in [[https://youtu.be/yQRyxiHO42k "The Wild Hedgehog"]]. When the narrator switches to talking about echidnas, Knuckles attacks him. |
| 151 | -->'''Knuckles:''' YOU BETTER NOT TELL THEM ABOUT [[invoked]][[NeverLiveItDown MY PENIS]]! |
| 152 | * IntimidatingRevenueService: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sUR6ylVH7E "Sonic Evades his Taxes"]] has Sonic begging Tails for help doing his taxes, or else the IRS will come for him. He finally decides to not pay his taxes and to [[SuperSpeed run from the IRS]]… [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome who manage to catch him and throw him in jail]]! |
| 153 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJs9wNOHEnk "Team Rocket's Podcast Gets Cancelled"]] has Meowth going from thinking that Maxie was right about Hoenn having too much water to saying that all the water in Hoenn should be gone; knowing that and not caring if everyone will die, in about one minute. |
| 154 | * JustJokingJustification: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gec5-COKM8 "Eggman's AI Generated Daughter"]] has Eggman wanting Sage to tell him how to destroy the world. But, since Sage uses [=ChatGPT=], she won't answer. So, Eggman wants Sage to tell him how to destroy the world… [[LoopholeAbuse as a joke]]. Sage says that the fastest way to destruction is nuclear warfare. She then gives Eggman the United States's nuclear launch codes. The codes didn't work, as Sage had simply [[ExactWords told a joke]]. |
| 155 | * LamePunReaction: Falco begins to realize that Fox forced them onto the sun for puns after the first one. The rest of the crew get annoyed by the puns except for Slippy who is still focused on crying about dying. |
| 156 | -->'''Peppy:''' Why did we even come here?\ |
| 157 | '''Fox:''' Because we're STAR Fox!\ |
| 158 | '''Falco:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Are you]] ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe kidding me?]]\ |
| 159 | '''Fox:''' Get it? [[DontExplainTheJoke Cause we're on a star?]]\ |
| 160 | '''Peppy:''' Yeah, Fox… We got it. |
| 161 | * ListOfTransgressions: After Sonic's [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 escape from the city]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUS3DRAHBw0 "I did a little trolling"]] has him in jail, being charged with a lot of crimes: Destruction of property, vandalism, disorderly conduct, [[DisasterDominoes extreme negligence]], [[DeadlyDodging reckless evading]], [[AnimalsLackAttributes indecent exposure]], [[HumongousMecha ass]][[WarmUpBoss ault]], [[DrivesLikeCrazy third-degree manslaughter]], [[LevelGoal parking illegally]], second-degree manslaughter, and [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn violating noise ordinances]]. He only denies [[SkewedPriorities parking illegally]]. |
| 162 | * MagicCountdown: Averted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlsYVW2iCyI "Sonic X but the editors remember how time works"]]. A bomb is set to go off in ten seconds, but Shadow and Rouge [[TalkingIsAFreeAction waste time talking when they should be escaping.]] After ten seconds pass, the island explodes with Chris, Shadow, and Rouge on it. |
| 163 | * MediumBlending: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh0mANgFWwI Sonic vents his anxieties about]] ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'' to Knuckles. |
| 164 | -->'''Sonic:''' Look, [[TitleDrop can I be real with you]] for a sec?\ |
| 165 | '''Knuckles:''' Sure.\ |
| 166 | '''Sonic:''' ''(turns into a realistic hedgehog)'' Thanks. |
| 167 | * MommasBoy: Before Shadow's advice in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d298nWzw2Ck "That's a hot take"]], one of the three people who liked the tweets of Chaotix was [[{{Nepotism}} Espio's mom]], who he claims to be "a very supportive lady". Vector has to oblige, as their audience is too small to take risks or let Charmy Bee post memes. |
| 168 | * MoodWhiplash: From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCvW-2mZBlU "Incorrect Sonic Quotes"]]. |
| 169 | -->'''Sonic:''' I'm tired, Tails. This life I've built for myself, it's all so tiresome. I made so many choices when I was young and foolish. I wish I could go back and do it all again.\ |
| 170 | ''(cut to a wall-eyed Sonic staring at the camera)''\ |
| 171 | '''Sonic:''' SONCIC! |
| 172 | * MySisterIsOffLimits: Knuckles catches Sonic flirting with his sister (represented by Tikal) in the aptly-titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoIxUjOjOcg "Bro, are you flirting with my sister?"]] |
| 173 | -->'''Knuckles:''' [[TitleDrop Bro, are you flirting with my sister?]]\ |
| 174 | '''Sonic:''' Yes, I am!\ |
| 175 | '''Knuckles:''' Do you wanna die?\ |
| 176 | '''Sonic:''' Yes, I do!\ |
| 177 | '''Knuckles:''' Wait, what?\ |
| 178 | '''Sonic:''' See ya! ''(jumps off a cliff)''\ |
| 179 | '''Knuckles:''' Oh my god, Sonic!\ |
| 180 | '''Sonic:''' [[DrivenToSuicide TAKE ME, SWEET DEATH!]] ''(falls into the water below, cut to a horrified Knuckles as sad music plays)'' |
| 181 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYydtU2G_eY Later recreated]] using scenes from the trailer for ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022''. Only this time, Knuckles is the one to take out Sonic himself. |
| 182 | --->'''Knuckles:''' Uh, okay. If that's what you want! |
| 183 | ** Then it was deconstructed (yes, really) in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7UmV90l01M "Bro, you flirted with my sister"]], Knuckles feels guilty for getting unreasonably angry at Sonic and driving him to suicide. After Knuckles apologizes and allows Sonic to be together with Tikal, however... |
| 184 | --->'''Knuckles:''' And hey, if you got something on your mind you're struggling with, talk to me, man.\ |
| 185 | '''Sonic:''' Actually, there is one thing.\ |
| 186 | '''Knuckles:''' Yeah?\ |
| 187 | '''Sonic:''' I kind of trapped you in Cyberspace.\ |
| 188 | '''Knuckles:''' [[FlatWhat What?]]\ |
| 189 | '''Sonic:''' Yeah, I wasn't exactly sure how this conversation was going to go, so I wanted a backup plan in case you weren't cool with me flirting with your sister.\ |

[[PoliticallyCorrectVillain Hey, just because he aspires to be a tyrannical dictator doesn't mean that he can't be a feminist]]. |
| 202 | * ObliviousToLove: Any time Amy tries to flirt with Sonic, Sonic will completely miss her very obvious intentions, usually running into an EntendreFailure and Amy smacking him with her hammer in return. Subverted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjgum1AZgxc "I heard you like bad boys"]], where it's ''Sonic'' who flirts with Amy. |

| 204 | * OutlawCouple: From Amy's point of view, anyway. After admitting to Amy that he committed most of the crimes he was accused of in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUS3DRAHBw0 "I did a little trolling"]], she asks Sonic why she should break him out of jail. Sonic points out that Amy had broken into a federal prison, making her a criminal as well. Amy, saying that Sonic has a point, breaks him out. |
| 205 | -->'''Amy:''' So, does this make us partners in crime?\ |
| 206 | '''Sonic:''' Don't push it.\ |
| 207 | '''Amy:''' Oh my gosh. We can be like [[Characters/HarleyQuinnTheCharacter Harley Quinn]] and [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]]!\ |

You kept sending me out to do stuff, like "Son, go steal Mario's jetpack!", "Go stand around with a Yoshi egg for an hour!", "Go bury someone in a puddle of shit!"\ |
| 213 | '''Bowser:''' Well, I--\ |

| 221 | -->'''Dr. Eggman:''' Being an evil dictator doesn’t exclude me from being a feminist, Shadow! |

| 226 | '''Shadic:''' We're not dating.\ |
| 227 | '''Nazo:''' I dunno. Seems pretty gay to me.\ |
| 228 | '''Knuckles:''' He's homophobic! |
| 229 | * PowerMakeover: {{Parodied|Trope}} in [[https://youtu.be/GrP1mt-h0s4 "My eyes are blue now"]], when Sage's calculations determine that Super Sonic [[EyeColourChange gaining blue eyes]] would thus make him strong enough to defeat [[spoiler:THE END]]… only for Super Sonic to [[EpicFail slam into it with no effect]]. |
| 230 | -->'''Eggman:''' What the hell, Sage!?\ |
| 231 | '''Sage:''' My calculations were wrong. Even with blue eyes, he still failed!\ |

| 233 | '''Sage:''' It worked in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.\ |
| 234 | '''Eggman:''' Goddammit, I never should've given you the Website/{{Crunchyroll}} password. |
| 235 | * PronounTrouble: A few Shadow-related videos deal with this trope as he tends to be a parody of far-right conservatives: |
| 236 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md8nInMGhFY&pp=ygUPc2hhZG93IHByb25vdW5z "I don't have pronouns"]], Shadow claims he has no pronouns and demands to be called by his name. When Sonic uses "he", he gets the Pronoun Police on him. |
| 237 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ximrIBbpH8&pp=ygUPc2hhZG93IHByb25vdW5z "What are you pronouns?"]], Shadow demands to know Omega's pronouns, only to give his computer specs. When Shadow and Rouge learn he has a stronger processor, Shadow demands his specs, only for Omega to claim he's they/them. |
| 238 | --->'''Shadow:''' I think he's broken.\ |
| 239 | '''Rouge:''' You mean ''they're'' broken?\ |
| 240 | '''Shadow:''' If you're trying to use Omega's correct pronouns, you should say, "[[MotorMouth NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Intel Core i5-10400F CPU sixteen gigabytes RAM's]] broken." |
| 241 | * RejectedApology: Shadow rejects Silver's apology in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo-SxWZ7tyM "Never apologize"]] because he sees apologies as a sign of weakness; a signal to your enemy that you are unwilling to stand up for yourself or what you believe in. |
| 242 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: Tikal, who has no known relationship to Knuckles in canon, is his sister. [[NegativeContinuity For one meme, at least.]] |
| 243 | * SatelliteCharacter: Tikal in "Bro, are you flirting with my sister?", as despite being the catalyst of the skit, she has no lines and only seems to be around to give Knuckles a reason to be mad at Sonic. |
| 244 | * ShoddyKnockoffProduct: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTd6NaOTB84 "Your Jordans are fake"]], Sage has a bit to say about Knuckles's shoes. |
| 245 | -->'''Sage:''' Your Jordans are fake.\ |
| 246 | ''([[invoked]][[MemeticMutation Vine boom]], Knuckles is stunned)''\ |
| 247 | '''Sage:''' Fake as hell.\ |

| 250 | ''(Quadruple Vine boom, Knuckles is stunned, camera zooms in)''\ |
| 251 | '''Knuckles:''' You laugh now, but I just saved up for a pair of Yeezys!\ |

| 254 | * ShoutOut: |
| 255 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaZdbz6ZhvE "Oh, you're approaching me?"]] is an almost exact recreation of a similar scene from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'' with Sonic as Jotaro Kujo and Shadow as DIO. |
| 256 | --->'''Sonic:''' [[invoked]][[MemeticMutation Holy shit, is this a Jojo's reference?]] |

| 258 | --->'''Sonic:''' Hey guys, check out that vent! Have you ever heard of VideoGame/AmongUs? If we vent, we can get to where we're going right away. But be careful, it'll make us pretty sus!\ |

| 260 | '''Knuckles:''' Sonic, what the fuck are you talking about-- ''(video ends)'' |
| 261 | ** The ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' references continue in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C443BBG3LZY Does this remind you of something?]]", much to Eggman's anger. |
| 262 | --->'''Sonic:''' Okay, look. So you think my Emerald is fake.\ |
| 263 | '''Eggman:''' I ''know'' it is!\ |
| 264 | '''Sonic:''' You're "suspicious" that this Emerald is... an imposter.\ |
| 265 | '''Eggman:''' [[FlatWhat What?]]\ |
| 266 | '''Sonic:''' And because you think I'm "sus", you're gonna ''eject'' me from the ''spaceship''.\ |
| 267 | '''Eggman:''' [[OhCrap Stop, stop, we're not doing this!]]\ |
| 268 | '''Sonic:''' Doesn't it remind you ''just a little'' of a certain video game?\ |
| 269 | '''Eggman:''' No, [[invoked]][[DiscreditedMeme we left that behind in 2020!]]\ |
| 270 | '''Sonic:''' I don't think we did, Eggman! I think the memes are still...\ |
| 271 | '''Eggman:''' No!\ |
| 272 | '''Sonic:''' "Among U-" ''(Sonic is launched into space before he can finish, with an onscreen message reading "Sonic was ejected")'' |
| 273 | ** [[https://youtu.be/xClIpiIRp5c "The Truth Behind Rouge"]] is a nearly word-for-word recreation of Creator/KaiserNeko's "[[https://youtu.be/qj5fuDpQkVU The Truth About Lola]]" video (based on [[https://twitter.com/on_verbs/status/1367578691170041858?s=20 this tweet]] and voiced by [[https://twitter.com/ViewtifulVal/status/1367955186317197318?s=20 ViewtifulVal]]), and in general the "Zoomposting" [[invoked]]MemeticMutation starring the [[Characters/TheFlashEobardThawne Reverse-Flash]]. |
| 274 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1hfmBsaBX1w This YouTube short]] takes a cover from the ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'' comics parodying the "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E10SweetDeeHasAHeartAttack Pepe Silvia]]" scene from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' and goes even further with it, complete with Yello's "Oh Yeah" as the background music. |
| 275 | --->'''Silver:''' Can we talk about the mail? Please, Sonic? I've been dying to talk about the mail with you all day, OK? "Ivo Robotnik." His name keeps coming up over and over and over again, every day Ivo's mail's gettin' sent back to me! Ivo Robotnik, Ivo Robotnik, I look in the mail, this whole ''BOX'' is Ivo Robotnik! So I say to myself, "I gotta find this guy! I gotta go up to his office and gotta put his mail in the guy's goddamn hands, otherwise, he's never gonna get it, it's gonna keep comin' back down here!" So I go up to Ivo's office and what do I find out, Sonic? ''What do I find out?'' There is no Ivo Robotnik, the man does not exist, okay? So I decide, "Aw shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Ivo Robotnik? You gotta be kidding me, I got BOXES full'a Ivo!" All right, so I start marchin' my way down to Miles in HR and I knock on his door and I say, "Miles! ''MILES!'' I gotta talk to you about Ivo!" And when I open the door, what do I find? There's not a single goddamn desk in that office! There is… no… Miles in HR! Sonic, half the employees in this building are made up! This office is a goddamn ''ghost town!'' |
| 276 | * SickEpisode: Sonic is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRJfO0Wjwpg&t sick as hell]] with the Coronavirus when [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings he's recruited by Shahra to save the Arabian Nights]]. He then infects Erazor Djinn with COVID after defeating him. |

| 278 | '''Sonic:''' This is your fault for not getting vaccinated. ''(seals Erazor Djinn in the lamp)'' And now you're stuck in quarantine. ''(blows out the flame while coughing)'' |
| 279 | * TakeThat: Done rather frequently: |
| 280 | ** Jehtt liked ''Anime/BNABrandNewAnimal'' overall but [[https://youtu.be/gu2h49LejQw hates the ending]] due to its [[invoked]]BrokenAesop. |
| 281 | --->'''[[spoiler:Alan]]:''' I did the most villainous thing I could… I undermined the show's message. |
| 282 | ** Shadow is sometimes portrayed as a parody of far-right conservatives, particularly those who [[FelonyMisdemeanor have fits over pronouns]] and who claim to be [[HolierThanThou superior to other people]]: |
| 283 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n__GJuqLb00&pp=ygUPc2hhZG93IHByb25vdW5z "You're a beta male, Sonic"]] has Shadow claim that, through InsaneTrollLogic, Sonic is a "beta male" because he has super speed. [[note]]All of Shadow's dialogue in this video was lifted from [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/why-so-many-in-the-radical-left-participate-in-speedrunning a widely mocked Twitter thread]] attempting to link speedrunning to radical leftism.[[/note]] |
| 284 | *** [[https://youtu.be/vo-SxWZ7tyM "Never apologize"]] has Shadow refute Silver's apology by going on a rant about how [[VirtueIsWeakness "apologies are a sign of weakness"]] before going off to harass someone for having pronouns in their bio. Naturally, Silver's response is, "I fucking hate the Internet." |
| 285 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ximrIBbpH8&pp=ygUPc2hhZG93IHByb25vdW5z "What are your pronouns"]] has Omega give his computer specs when asked for his pronouns. When Shadow and Rouge learn his processor is stronger than he said and demands his specs, Omega tells him "they/them". Shadow then goes on to claim his specs ARE his pronouns. |
| 286 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md8nInMGhFY&pp=ygUPc2hhZG93IHByb25vdW5z "I don't have pronouns"]] has Shadow declaring [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin he has no pronouns]] (despite Sonic pointing out everyone does, a constant tired rebuttal to these complaints) and when Sonic uses "he", the Pronoun Police show up. |
| 287 | ** Jehtt has a very low opinion on [=NFTs=], and the videos where they take potshots at them often feature a gullible or otherwise stupid character falling for them -- the joke being that they're just ''that'' obvious a scam: |
| 288 | *** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_dbFNWD910 "This is Eggman's crypto mine"]] Tails introduced said mine as being able to provide energy to all of Station Square… or to mint a single NFT per day. And when Knuckles admits that he bought a NFT of the Master Emerald (from a guy called [[LazyAlias "eggtherium.eth"]], no less), both Sonic and Tails call him out for falling for such an obvious scam. |
| 289 | *** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRsnj9M2eXM "You must kill Sonic"]], after Mephiles the Dark finds out how SuperGullible Silver is, he attempts to have him invest in [=NFTs=]. The same video also mocks the plot point from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' where Silver takes Mephiles' words at face value despite him being ObviouslyEvil and only using the bare minimum of evidence (which [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Mephiles himself is in disbelief about]] in this video), with the NFT joke at the end just being used to cap off how much of an utter ''sap'' Silver has to be. |
| 290 | ** [[https://youtu.be/DN1kB5-6t9E This video]] has its dialogue for Shadow be taken from some real-life tweets expressing a SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids message, typos included: |
| 291 | --->'''Shadow:''' [[TheHero Heroes]], [[RousseauWasRight optimism]], [[ThePollyanna brightness]], [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers positivity]], [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma trust-morality]], [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]], [[TrueCompanions bonds]]… are concepts I absolutely ''hate''. I prefer more ''mature'' concepts like… [[AntiHero anti-heroes]], [[VillainProtagonist protagonists who are also antagonists]], [[FinalSolution genocide]], UsefulNotes/{{depression}}, [[DespairEventHorizon sadness]], [[RougeAnglesOfSatin lose]], [[EtTuBrute betrayal]], [[ShellShockedVeteran PTSD]], [[GreyAndGreyMorality moral relativism, and grayness]]. That's proba-by why I also like ''{{seinen}}'' more than ''{{shonen|Demographic}}'', T-B-H.\ |
| 292 | '''Black Doom:''' It's just a demographic, doesn't make a difference.\ |
| 293 | '''Shadow:''' Yeah, no, a story being intended for kids or for adults [[invoked]][[AnimationAgeGhetto will obviously make a difference in literally every aspect]]. ''Crying emoji.'' |
| 294 | ** [[https://youtu.be/LMA8r_MuJM0 "Kill 'em all"]] is an overt middle finger to the [[invoked]][[ScrappyMechanic infamous]] FetchQuest-based nature of ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'', with it showing Shadow (and by extension, the player) being displeased towards the idea of having to scour an entire level back-and-forth to kill every last GUN soldier or Black Arms monster. This is just regarding the ''first'' level of the game, if we need remind you. |
| 295 | --->'''Shadow:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck This game is going to be very tedious, isn't it?]]\ |
| 296 | '''Sonic:''' ''(cheerfully)'' Just wait 'til you get to [[invoked]][[ThatOneLevel Lost Impact!]] |
| 297 | ** [[https://youtu.be/d298nWzw2Ck "That's a hot take"]] mocks [[invoked]]Platform/TwitterX for being a place that thrives on stoking people's negative emotions, with [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity "being as inflammatory as possible"]] being the path to gaining attention rather than any genuine qualities. When Vector suggests that they follow Shadow's example and continue to {{troll}} people for attention, Espio remarks that [[EvenBeggarsWontChooseIt he would rather get evicted]]. |
| 298 | ** [[https://youtu.be/fxVc9Kx-qfI "How Sonic X Should Have Ended"]] takes a potshot at [[Anime/SonicX Chris Thorndyke and his relationship with Sonic]] -- unlike the original anime, it portrays Chris' grief towards Sonic returning to his home world as full-on [[invoked]]{{Wangst}}, and Sonic's response is to [[NoSympathy bluntly tell Chris to get over it and continue walking away]]. Roll credits. |

| 305 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2sDx0Y_I-k Eggman takes over the United States's healthcare system]] with the intent of [[ForTheEvulz worsening it to spread suffering]]. Or at least he tries to, as Shadow points out things about the system that are already ''worse'' than what Eggman intended to implement (such as how residency programs and thus the number of doctors available are limited by Congress's budget, or the massive price for insulin), leaving the good doctor [[EvenEvilHasStandards with a mix of horror and bewilderment]]. |
| 306 | --->'''Eggman:''' They've already done every evil thing! Next thing you're going to tell me is that the hospitals are just straight-up racist!\ |

| 309 | '''Shadow:''' Should I call an ambulance?\ |
| 310 | '''Eggman:''' No, it'll cost too much! ''(realization hits)'' Screw this! I can't ''be'' more cartoonishly evil than the United States's healthcare system! And [[CardCarryingVillain I am LITERALLY a cartoon villain!]]\ |
| 311 | '''Shadow:''' So what will you do?\ |
| 312 | '''Eggman:''' I'm just going to take over something pure and free of corruption! Like, uh, the U.S. ''educational'' system!\ |
| 313 | '''Shadow:''' [[HereWeGoAgain Oh boy.]] |
| 314 | ** [[https://youtu.be/6gec5-COKM8 Eggman's "AI Generated Daughter"]] briefly takes a shot at AI-generated art -- which many view as a scam like the above-mentioned [=NFTs=] -- by having Eggman remark that Sage's hands are correct.[[note]]For the uninitiated, a common identifier of AI art is that hands are almost always rendered with obvious anatomical errors. Many a ''human'' artist will admit that drawing hands is a difficult task with very few quick and easy solutions, so many find it ludicrous to claim that a computer program trained to replicate human-made art could do any better.[[/note]] Arguably, the video in general could be viewed as a potshot towards those who treat [=ChatGPT=] as an intelligent, widely-applicable program rather than just an AI language model to toy around with -- considering how, following its implementation into some search engines or online programs, there have been numerous real-world reports of the program giving out incomplete or outright ''false'' information to its users. |
| 315 | --->'''Eggman:''' Finally. My AI-generated daughter is complete! She's perfect! Even the hands are correct!\ |
| 316 | '''Sage:''' I have a normal amount of fingers in the correct place.\ |

[[CantTakeCriticism Sage doesn't want to hear it.]] |
| 321 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VqZts0xVB8 "Let's see if my Tweet is popping off"]] mocks how Platform/TwitterX has become increasingly plagued by spammer bots (represented through Shadow Androids in the video, followed by what at first ''looks'' like Sonic himself), with Shadow outright saying "Damn you, Musk," at the end of the video. |
| 322 | * TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vI5M9GRCKo "No, you're cringe"]], Gerald's pre-recorded message is able to predict nearly everything Black Doom says: |
| 323 | -->'''Gerald:''' Shadow! If you're hearing this pre-recorded message, that means that the worst has happened! Black Doom has returned, and he called you "cringe".\ |
| 324 | '''Black Doom:''' How did you prepare for this specific possibility?\ |

| 335 | '''Sonic:''' Damn, they caught me. |
| 336 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usf06ziW8z4 "They are not like us"]], tired of the argument of why frogs can't talk on the basis that they aren't sapient (and Charmy constantly calling him racist), Vector shuts the discussion down "until they see a non-sapient crocodile". Guess what happens not even two seconds after he said that. |

| 346 | -->'''Black Doom:''' That's preposterous! [[PoliticallyCorrectVillain Cringe is determined by your behavior, not by your blood.]] Even if I were cringe, my DNA would have no effect on Shadow being so.\ |
| 347 | '''Gerald:''' [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat He may be making]] [[LampshadeHanging a valid argument about the nature of genetics…]] |
| 348 | * VillainousBreakdown: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vI5M9GRCKo "No, you're cringe"]], Black Doom has one of this just from Shadow calling him cringe. |
| 349 | * WhatAreYouInFor: Sonic asks this to another prisoner of the IRS. |
| 350 | -->'''Eggman:''' I placed a bunch of gold rings on the ground and [[ItMakesSenseInContext didn't send the proper 1099 tax forms]] to people who picked them up.\ |
| 351 | '''Sonic:''' ''[[OffscreenTeleportation (now somehow behind Eggman)]]'' You die tonight. |
| 352 | * WhatsAHenway: Shadow loves to tell the "Ligma" joke: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mly-ptUD7M8 "It's so sad that Steve Jobs died of Ligma"]] shows that he will say the line at any cost. |
| 353 | * WhosOnFirst: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAVnUOHNVUc&t When Mewtwo introduces himself to Ash and friends]], things get confusing really quick. |
| 354 | -->'''Mewtwo:''' I am Mewtwo.\ |
| 355 | '''Ash:''' You're Mew too, huh? Well, we're not going to let you get away with this, Mew!\ |
| 356 | '''Mewtwo:''' Do not insult me with that name, child. I am Mewtwo.\ |
| 357 | '''Ash:''' Yeah, I heard you. You're Mew too. |
| 358 | * WickedCultured: Shadow often has an antagonistic role in the videos, and is also pretty knowledgeable about human customs, Internet culture, and other things like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNg5V8KMmHo quoting the Bible in Japanese]] without taking a breath. |
| 359 | * YesNoAnswerInterpretation: Silver asks Sonic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFLiY3jp70o "What year is this?"]] when he travelled to the past. Sonic answers that it's 2022. |
| 360 | -->'''Silver:''' Ah, 2022. The third year of quarantine.\ |
| 361 | '''Sonic:''' Yeah, and the last, right?\ |
| 362 | '''Silver:''' …\ |
| 363 | '''Sonic:''' And the last, right?\ |
| 364 | '''Silver:''' I should go. |
