11	!!''Sonic the Abridgehog'' provides examples of:
12
13	[[folder:OVA]]
14	* AndTheAdventureContinues: How the OVA ends.
15	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Calling it "love" is a bit generous. But Knuckles and Robotnik both want to get it on with Sera... who only has eyes for Sonic... who has absolutely no interest in dating a human.
16	* BerserkButton: Metal's imitation of Sonic [[StunnedSilence leaves Sonic himself dumbstruck]]. Metal adding "Also I'm thinking of buying a Super Nintendo," pisses off Sonic enough to make him instantly attack.
17	* BrownNote: Tails breaks Metal's mind by transmitting files into his mainframe--material too horrible for any mind to contemplate. [[spoiler:It's a bunch of bad Sonic fanart from Website/DeviantArt.]]
18	* BuffySpeak: "Just help me with my dilemma, or these two get ''robotted to death'' or something."
19	* ConjoinedEyes: Exaggerated. When Sonic first hears that everyone thinks Sera is his girlfriend, his eyes whip to the side so hard that both his pupils appear inside his right eye.
20	* CombatSadomasochist: Metal.
21	-->'''Metal:''' ''(as he's choking Sonic)'' Aw c'mon hot stuff--if we're supposed to be the same, then how come one of us ''doesn't'' enjoy getting choked?
22	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Tails spends the first half of the movie being a complete idiot. But after Sonic loses the first fight against Metal, Tails suddenly comes up with a plan to give Sonic the edge in the next fight--and it actually works.
23	* CurseCutShort:
24	-->'''Old Man:''' WHAT UP MY [[NWordPrivileges NI-]] ''(cut to next scene)''
25	* CuteButCacophonic: Tails, especially when he screams.
26	* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon:
27	** Knuckles gets into an argument with the President, and threatens some DisproportionateRetribution.
28	--->'''Knuckles:''' I don't give a f[bleep] who you are! ''You'' disrespected ''me!'' I'ma hunt you down and rip your lungs out through your asshole, asshole! No one will know who did it! You'll die alone, and I'll watch your funeral from afar, laughing my ass off, ya hear me?
29	** And when the President's rocket crashes into the glacier, [[BrickJoke what does Knuckles say]] while trying to smash open the windshield?
30	--->'''Knuckles:''' [[PunctuatedPounding Give. Me. Those.]] ''[[PunctuatedPounding Lungs!]]''
31	* DitzyGenius: Tails. He still can pilot a plane and make devices like in canon, but is less perceptive in other fields.
32	* DoomMagnet: South Island.
33	-->'''Narrator:''' A place where the Sun always shines, the breeze is always perfect, and for some reason, every goddamn pilot who flies over it decides to crash here.\
34	''[Insert still of the numerous wrecks on South Island.]''\
35	'''Narrator:''' Still not sure which of these is more out-of-place: the Starship Enterprise or [[EpicFail the train]].
36	* DoubleTake: "Hey, the smoke is beginning to clear out! I can see you, Tails and the other you just fi-- Wait a minute."
37	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Metal]].
38	-->'''[[spoiler:Metal]]:''' Death is my only salvation... [[ItMakesSenseInContext Potty-man]]...
39	* EnemyMine: Robotnik tries to invoke this, with his story about Metal Robotnik menacing Robotropolis. But Sonic has no reason to care.
40	-->'''President:''' But Sonic! Robotropolis will be destroyed if Metal Robotnik isn't stopped. Don't you know what this means?\
41	'''Sonic:''' Yeah. Robotnik will be both homeless and unable to create any more murderbots. There's nothing really at stake for us here.
42	* FailedASpotCheck:
43	** With them running out of time, Tails panics at the fact that they haven't found Robotropolis yet. Despite it [[BehindTheBlack apparently being right in front of them]].
44	--->'''Tails:''' How are we supposed to find Robotropolis now? It could be anywhere in the city! Finding it would be impossible!\
45	'''Sonic:''' Found it.\
46	'''Tails:''' What, over there? I can't see anything past that bright light shaped like Robotnik.
47	** After wearing a hat for two-thirds of the movie, Knuckles finally notices:
48	--->'''Knuckles:''' Aaaaugh! Where the hell did this hat come from?!
49	* FallingDamage: Defied. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are completely immune to falling damage, as Sonic himself points out.
50	* {{Fartillery}}: Metal Robotnik's Butt Cannon.
51	-->'''Sonic:''' You weren't serious about that Butt Cannon thing, were you--\
52	''[Metal Robotnik turns around.]''\
53	'''Sonic:''' Oh, God, no...\
54	''[Fart sound. Massive explosion.]''
55	* FauxHorrific: Seeing that Metal Sonic turned Old Man TotallyRadical is what convinces Knuckles and Tails that Metal ''must'' be stopped.
56	-->'''Knuckles:''' I take it back. Metal Sonic is a ''much'' bigger threat to the planet than we thought.
57	* FreezeFrameBonus: Text very briefly appears above Sera's head when Tails [[ThanksForTheMammary accidentally grabs her chest]]. [[spoiler:It reads, "What the f*** you smiling for?" Because, yes, [[CovertPervert Sera is smiling]].]]
58	* GilliganCut: Sonic makes it absolutely clear that he's not going to save Robotropolis. Robotnik threatens to [[FateWorseThanDeath drop Sera off at Sonic's house.]] Cut to Sonic and Tails, flying to Robotropolis.
59	* GroinAttack: Sonic lands crotch-first on Robotnik's eggmobile. It even gets a grayscale freeze-frame and a voiceover:
60	-->'''Sonic:''' And you thought we were kidding about the invisi-dick, didn't you?
61	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: They can get away with wearing no pants [[RunningGag because their penises are invisible]].
62	* HandWave: So, why does Knuckles show up?
63	-->'''Tails:''' Oh, hey, Knuckles. What are you doing here?\
64	'''Knuckles:''' Oh, you know. Knuckles stuff.
65	* InteractiveNarrator: The cartoon opens with a voiceover claiming to be Sonic's internal monologue. But...
66	-->'''Narrator:''' How about I introduce myself? But chances are, you've probably heard of me already: Sonic the Hedg--\
67	'''Sonic:''' Who said that?!\
68	'''Narrator:''' Oh shit, he heard me! Everyone bail! BAIL!\
69	''[A few seconds of cacophony as the narrator and several others flee from the recording booth.]''\
70	'''Sonic:''' Huh. Okay, then, I'll just pretend that didn't happen and get back to my nap...
71	* InterspeciesRomance:
72	** A running gag. Sonic is clearly disturbed by the thought of dating Sera, but she and her dad seem to think Sonic's already her boyfriend.
73	--->'''Sonic:''' Why do you keep saying that, I'm a hedgehog! [[LampshadeHanging Why would]] [[TakeThat I want]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 a human girlfriend?!]]
74	** Knuckles, on the other hand, totally wants to bang her.
75	** And Sera herself is [[CatGirl half-cat]], leading to some awkward implications. Her dad insists, several times "I did not [bleep] a cat!"
76	* LamePunReaction:
77	-->'''Metal:''' Hey, you wanna see something cool?\
78	'''Sonic:''' Uh, no thanks.\
79	'''Metal:''' Oh, come on, I'm sure it's something you'll get a real ''kick'' out of.\
80	''[Metal pulls his leg back for a kick.]''\
81	'''Sonic:''' Oh, boooooo!\
82	''[Metal rotates his leg even farther back.]''\
83	'''Sonic:''' Boooooo!\
84	''[Metal kicks. Sonic goes flying.]''\
85	'''Sonic:''' Booooooooooooo...
86	* LampshadeHanging: Sonic does this often, though Knuckles joins in on occasion.
87	--> "... wait, how did this happen?"
88	* LongList: The end of the video features a list of all the questions that were never answered in the OVA (and a few from Sonic himself).
89	-->''Why do ships always crash on South Island?\
90	How did the [[Franchise/StarTrek Starship Enterprise]] and a train crash on South Island?\
91	Why are there flying islands on Planet Freedom?\
92	Where did those voices narrating my life on South Island come from?\
93	Why does Planet Freedom have a president?\
94	Why does the president keep throwing himself in danger?\
95	Why does the president have a [[CatGirl cat-daughter]]?\
96	Did the president f*** a cat?\
97	CAN a human f*** a cat?\
98	Why is the president's cat-daughter horny for me?\
99	Why is Knuckles horny for the president's cat-daughter?\
100	Why was Knuckles wearing a hat?\
101	Was Robotnik's story about Metal Robotnik overthrowing him REALLY the best story he could think of?\
102	Why did the president think it would be a bad thing if Robotropolis was destroyed?\
103	How did Tails and I teleport in the Land of Darkness?\
104	How did Tails and Knuckles teleport out of the Land of Darkness?\
105	How did Robotnik and the cat-daughter teleport here?\
106	Why did Metal Robotnik have a butt-cannon?\
107	What the f*** did Metal Sonic do to that old man?\
108	Did Robotnik really do all of this so he could pork the president's daughter?\
109	How does a glacier keep the Land of the Sky from flying into space?\
110	How has that glacier not melted from [[ConvectionSchmonvection sitting on top of a magma river]] for so long?\
111	Why we have invisidicks?\
112	Why is Robotnik's "ultimate weapon" a flying turtle?\
113	Did I get the high score in "Whack-A-Knux?"\
114	Website/DeviantArt. ...Just [=DeviantArt=]. Seriously, WTF?''
115	* MoodWhiplash: Much like the source material, this version stops cracking jokes just long enough to make the ending scene with [[spoiler:Metal Sonic's suicide]] much more serious and dramatic than anything else in the movie. And then almost immediately after that, throws in a couple last jokes about the plot holes in the OVA.
116	* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: As Robotnik introduces his greatest weapon, Hyper Metal Sonic:
117	-->'''Robotnik:''' So tremble in fear, Sonic, as you face an enemy unlike any you've seen before! Ahahahaha!\
118	'''Sonic:''' Yeah... Unlike any enemy I've seen before...\
119	''[Insert stills of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 Silver Sonic]] and [[Videogame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Mecha Sonic]].]''
120	* ObviousTrap: Sonic is not fooled for one second by Robotnik's story about Robotropolis being menaced by a mysterious robot named Metal Robotnik.
121	-->'''Sonic:''' Metal Robotnik. The mysterious robot that came out of nowhere and took over your home is called... Metal Robotnik.\
122	'''Robotnik:''' Yes, that's correct.\
123	'''Sonic:''' ''Do you think I'm an idiot, Robotnik?! This is so obviously a trap!''
124	* OhMyGods: Because [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Chaos]] is everyone's deity on Planet Freedom, apparently.
125	-->'''Sonic:''' For the love of Chaos, I told you before...
126	* ParrotExpoWhat:
127	-->'''Radio:''' Also, another ship is about to crash into South Island.\
128	'''Sonic:''' Another what now?
129	* PokeThePoodle: Knuckles and Tails aren't impressed with Metal Sonic's rampage across South Island (that is, until they see what Metal did to Old Man Hoot...)
130	-->'''Knuckles:''' So... This is what Hyper Metal Sonic's wrath looks like... Does it look that bad to you, Tails?\
131	'''Tails:''' No, it's not that bad at all. I mean, it's the plane that Sonic and I live in, and it doesn't have a scratch on it.
132	* RapidFireInterrupting: When Tails tries to argue in favor of helping Robotnik, Sonic won't let him get a word in edgewise. "But Sonic--" "Nope!"
133	* {{Retirony}}: Metal Sonic comes to destroy South Island, and happens to run into Old Man Hoot while he's there.
134	-->'''Old Man Hoot:''' Maybe I should move here. My grandkids would love it, it's not too far from the Holy Church of St. Chaos, it's a great location to open a new home for the starving orphans I care for, and I'm just ''two days away from retirement!'' It's the perfect place for an innocent elderly bystander such as myself. Wouldn't you agree, you shadowy-looking gentleman over there?\
135	'''Metal:''' You know, I was only here for the island. But after hearing all that, I feel ''obligated'' to include you, too.
136	** Subverted in that he only knocked him out. He later comes back with a TotallyRadical new look.
137	* RunningGag:
138	** Metal's suggestive language and constant flirting with Sonic.
139	** The invisi-dicks.
140	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud:
141	** Sonic says his own sound effects for his spin attack: "Blblblblblblblblblblblblblbl... Hut hut hut jump jump jump jump!"
142	** Sonic and Tails fake scream their fall, but say "splash" at the end.
143	** "Dolphin noises!"
144	* SaveTheVillain: Sonic tries to save Metal Sonic from the lava pit after he (Metal Sonic) saves the President, saying that "there might be some good in him."
145	* ScrewYourself: Downplayed. While he's not an exact copy of Sonic and nothing happens between them, Metal is ''clearly'' attracted to Sonic. The attraction might have been mutual on some level, as Sonic asks this right before his long list of other unanswered questions follows:
146	--> '''Sonic:''' And why did he come across as so goddamn charming?
147	* SomethingWeForgot: After the first meeting with Metal Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fly back to South Island--completely forgetting to bring Sonic with them.
148	-->'''Sonic:''' [[SarcasmMode Hey, thanks for looking for me after my fight with Metal, you jackasses.]]
149	* StopCopyingMe: At Sonic and Metal Sonic's second showdown, Metal completely wrecks the mood by copying everything Sonic says in a snotty voice.
150	-->'''Sonic:''' Are you trying to mimic me?\
151	'''Metal:''' Are you trying to mimic me?\
152	'''Sonic:''' Cut that out.\
153	'''Metal:''' Cut that out.\
154	'''Sonic:''' You're being very immature right now.\
155	'''Metal:''' You're being very immature right now.\
156	'''Sonic:''' Stop it!\
157	'''Metal:''' Stop it!\
158	'''Sonic:''' I mean it!\
159	'''Metal:''' I mean it!\
160	'''Sonic:''' Come on, this is really getting old!\
161	'''Metal:''' Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah! Oh, look at me, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! I run super fast and eat nothing but chili dogs all day! I also got a whiny-voiced sidekick ''and make stupid noises when I spin dash'' AND EVERYTHING IS JUST ''WAY PAST COOL!'' HUH?! HUH?! ''HUUUUUUUUUAGH?!''
162	* TakeThat:
163	** The concept of Sera and her feelings for Sonic. Sonic has no interest in dating a human, and her stating that she's [[CatGirl half-cat]] makes it worse.
164	** The scene with Owl Man acting TotallyRadical thanks to Metal Sonic. Knuckles' and Tails' [[JawDrop reaction to this]], along with Knuckles' comment sells it:
165	--->'''Knuckles:''' I take it back. Metal Sonic is a much bigger threat to the planet than we thought.
166	** Where did Tails get the horrible, perception-of-reality shattering files he sent into Metal Sonic's mainframe? ''Website/DeviantArt''.
167	* TemptingFate: ''Often.''
168	** At the very start.
169	--->'''Sonic:''' Yup! I think it's safe to say that from here on out, nothing bad is [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ever. Going. To happen. Aaaaaaaa-gain.]]\
170	'''Radio:''' The president has been kidnapped!\
171	'''Sonic:''' Of ''course'' he was!
172	** During the flight to Robotropolis.
173	--->'''Tails:''' Don't worry, Sonic! With the skies this clear, we' ll be able to finish the job in no ti-\
174	''(cut to the plane crashing down in a thunderstorm)''\
175	'''Tails:''' WHY HAVE YOU BETRAYED ME, SKY?!
176	** During the fight against Metal Robotnik.
177	--->'''Sonic:''' Look, this was fun and all, but we have to hurry to that robot-generator and there's no way you' ll be able to keep up with-\
178	''(Metal Robotnik throws off his cape, revealing a pair of wings)''\
179	'''Sonic:''' Oh.
180	** After Sonic and Tails get thrown off a bridge.
181	--->'''Sonic:''' ''(hushed)'' Let's just get out of here before he figures out he didn't kill us...\
182	''(Metal Robotnik looks over the edge of the bridge, right at them)''\
183	'''Sonic:''' ''Please'' tell me he didn't just see us...\
184	'''Tails:''' Hold on, lemme check. ''(looks over his shoulder)'' Oh. Uhhh...\
185	'''Sonic:''' He sees us?\
186	'''Tails:''' Yeah, he sees us.\
187	'''Sonic:''' [[SarcasmMode Great]].
188	** When looking for Robotropolis.
189	--->'''Tails:''' How are we supposed to find Robotropolis now, it could be ''anywhere'' in this city, finding it would be ''impossible!''\
190	'''Sonic:''' Found it.
191	** After turning off the generator.
192	--->'''Sonic:''' ''(sighs)'' It's finally over. The generator is off, Robotropolis is safe, and we can all go ho-\
193	''(scanner turns on)''
194	** Knuckles might have a little too much faith in Sonic.
195	--->'''Knuckles:''' I'm sure Sonic's fine.\
196	''(cut to Sonic getting the shit kicked out of him by Metal)''
197	** Sonic might have a little too much faith in himself.
198	--->'''Sonic:''' ''(lands on the edge of a canyon)'' Hey, I'm okay! ''(collapses)'' Shit.
199	** When the president crashes his shuttle into the glacier.
200	--->'''Sonic:''' Why does this guy keep throwing himself in danger whenever I'M ready to RELAX?! CAN THE STAKES GET ANY HIGHER FROM HERE?!\
201	''(shuttle catches fire)''
202	--->'''Sonic:''' ''(Being carried by Tails and clearly freaking DONE)'' WHY DID WE VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN?!?!\
203	''(Gets knocked out of the sky by Metal too.)''
204	** Sonic should really stop talking.
205	--->'''Sonic:''' At least I saved the world again. And my suffering is finally over...\
206	'''Sara:''' Hey Sonic, you wanna go see a movie when we get back to the capital? ''(pokes him over and over)'' Huh? Huh? Sonic? You wanna go? You wanna? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?\
207	'''Tails:''' Aww! You two make such a cute couple?\
208	'''Knuckles:''' Goddamn slut!\
209	'''Sonic:''' There is nothing good left in this world, is there?
210	* TotallyRadical: Old Man Hoot after Metal did... [[NoodleIncident something]] to him. He dresses in bright pink and talks like an unholy mix of PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy and SurferDude. Basically, the ultimate 90's whiteboi.
211	-->'''Old Man:''' What up, players. Yo, dawg, you missed the gnarliest-looking homeboy last night! Motherf[bleep]er was straight up ''twisted!'' Trashed the whole island in nothin' flat and knocked me out cold. Best wipeout of my life, if you ask me! Because it made me realize--I need to get some rockin' new threads and catch up with the times, ya hear?
212	* TradeSnark:
213	-->'''Robotnik:''' I call him Hyper Metal Sonic. Trademark, Robotic Empire, 1996.\
214	'''Tails:''' He's got a trademark? We're in big trouble now!
215	* WeWillMeetAgain: As Metal Robotnik is retreating:
216	-->'''Metal Robotnik:''' Mark my words, Sonic the Hedgehog--we will meet again! Ahahahahahaha...\
217	''[Sonic spin-attacks straight through his torso.]''\
218	'''Metal Robotnik:''' Oh.\
219	''[He explodes.]''
220	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Sonic's really scared of drowning. When the concrete starts sinking into water, with Sonic still glued to it, he goes into a panic attack.
221	* WrongGenreSavvy:
222	-->'''Metal Robotnik:''' I mean, really, hedgehog, did you think this was some sort of cartoon?\
223	''[Tails jumps in front of Metal Robotnik's face.]''\
224	'''Tails:''' Beep beep!\
225	''[Metal Robotnik tries to hit Tails, but just punches himself in the face.]''\
226	''[Insert Looney Tunes-style ending screen, reading "That's NO Good!"]''\
227	'''Metal Robotnik:''' WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?!
228	** Upon hearing that Metal Sonic is planning to melt the ice caps, the President realizes that would raise the sea level and flood the planet. Knuckles calls him an idiot for thinking that, then explains the ''real'' danger: melting the ice caps would cause Planet Freedom's {{Floating Continent}}s to break away and fly into space. ''Obviously.''
229	[[/folder]]
230
231	[[folder:Sonic X]]
232	* AdaptationalJerkass: In the anime, Nelson Thorndyke was an unintentionally neglectful but ultimately caring father to Chris. Here, he straight up hates his son's guts. Episode 4 reveals that the media thinks he's neglectful, so he decided to be even more neglectful in order to make the media forget his son even exists. Meanwhile, his wife genuinely ''doesn't'' remember Chris exists, much to Amy's disbelief given she'd have to spend 9 months pregnant with him.
233	-->'''Nelson (over the phone)''': Drown in that pool next time, you twerp!
234	* BaseballEpisode: Defied. When Chuck challenges Eggman to a baseball game, as he does in the anime, Eggman just turns him down and flies off. The others are equally ambivalent, pointing out that Eggman wouldn't honour the deal if he lost anyway.
235	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Lampshaded in Episode 5 when Chris asks how Sonic can do this as the X-Tornado flies into space and Sonic is on the outside without any issues. Tails promises to explain later (but doesn't).
236	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Episode 4 establishes that, while Cream is still the nicest, sweetest girl in the entire cast, she has two big {{Berserk Button}}s that you ''do not'' want to press: insulting her flower crowns, and insulting her mother.
237	* BloodKnight: Sonic is characterized this way in the first episode, wanting nothing more than to beat up Eggman. He even has a "punching arm" which flares up in pain whenever he goes too long without fighting. All Eggman has to do to lure him out of his NiceJobBreakingItHero induced inactivity is a short clip of Knuckles saying "Fight Me."
238	-->'''Sonic''': To be honest, that's not important right now. What's important is '''[[SuddenlyShouting I HAVE A MIGHTY THIRST FOR VIOLENCE THAT MUST BE QUENCHED WITH THE BLOOD OF THE EGGMAN]].'''
239	* BluntNo: When Chuck challenges Eggman to a baseball game, with the winner taking both Chaos Emeralds, Eggman (instead of accepting like he does in the series) just bluntly refuses and flies off with his Emerald.
240	* BrickJoke:
241	** Near the beginning of Episode 3, Amy smacks an annoying kid with her hammer so hard that the kid goes flying out of a train. About halfway through the episode, Sonic is chased up a pine tree by Knuckles, where he’s bemused to see the kid go flying past him.
242	** In the first episode, Cheese and Sonic both mention Chocola was eaten, the former stating that it was Vanilla's idea. In Episode 4, during Cream's memory of her mom telling her to throw all her morals out the window if anybody insults her, Vanilla asks if she can see Chocola in the kitchen.
243	* ButtMonkey: In the first episode, Cream and Cheese get kidnapped ''twice'' specifically so the kidnappers could eat them. Sonic also mentions that everybody is curious about how Cheese tastes after the Chocola incident.
244	* CallBack: In the first episode, when Chris flies with Tails in the Tornado, he's caught off-guard and screams about the plane's lack of seatbelts, prompting Tails to ask "what are seatbelts?" When Tails and Chuck build the X-Tornado, he says to Amy that he convinced Tails to implement them in this version of the plane, causing Amy to ask what a seatbelt is.
245	* CallForward:
246	** In the first episode, the military tries to arrest Sonic, with the first one asking about how he escaped Prison Island (much to Sonic's confusion) before they realized they made a mistake and mistook him for someone else. Much like how G.U.N. would go after Sonic by mistaking/pinning the blame on him for Shadow in the ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' arc[[note]]Though in the OVA, Sonic mentions Shadow by name after asking Tails if he included the fanart where he and Shadow fused into a toilet, which means they already met Shadow by this point, [[ContinuitySnarl directly contradicting each other]] since the OVA and ''Sonic X'' are sharing canons in this Abridged series[[/note]].
247	** In Episode 3, Chaos and the Master Emerald are mentioned a few times, much to Chris' confusion. Amy tells him not to worry about it as it's a Mobius thing and that there's no likelihood that it will threaten Earth. Both of those elements would eventually find their way to Earth in the show itself much later.
248	* CassandraTruth: [[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] by Sonic during Sam Speed's retelling of how the latter encountered him on the highway, where [[BeyondTheImpossible during a freeze frame]], tells Sam that no one will ever believe that his racecar was beaten by a blue hedgehog that runs at supersonic speeds. When [[ItWasHereISwear Sam sees Sonic outside Chris' window and tries to get them to see the hedgehog]], everyone else thinks he's insane.
249	-->'''Sonic:''' ''They'll never believe you.''
250	* TheComicallySerious: Tanaka refers to Cheese as "C-Fizzle" and deals with Mr. Stewart by telling him not to look behind him as absolutely nothing noteworthy was happening, all while retaining a professional outlook.
251	* CompanionCube: Eggman's nicknamed his moustache "Reginald."
252	* ContinuityNod: Some to the original ''Sonic the Abridgehog'' OVA:
253	** After Missile Wrist gets defeated, Eggman thinks he should have just made another Metal Sonic.
254	** When Eggman refers to attacking Sonic's weak point, Amy is briefly confused about what he means, as "Sonic doesn't have a weak point". Then Tails remembers their previous conversation about their invisible dicks in the OVA, which causes him to scream in a panic and tells Sonic to get out of there.
255	* ClusterBleepBomb: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] in Episode 4 when Cream lets loose a seven-second barrage of ''nothing but bleeps'' after Chris indirectly insults her mother.
256	* CreepyDoll: The [[VideoGame/SonicR Tails Doll]] appears in Episode 3, being a decoy to make people think that Tails and Amy are just giant plush dolls. The Tails doll merely utters "Sunshine" while looking off into space. It even jumpscares the viewer at one point. The Amy doll, on the other hand, is just as virulently hormonal as her flesh-and-blood counterpart.
257	* CurseCutShort: In Episode 5, Eggman takes over the world's TV reception and uses it to broadcast [[FauxHorrific insurance commercials]]. This naturally culminates in the Advertising/{{Progressive}} commercial featuring ''Sonic himself'' being aired, prompting a baffled, "Wait, what the fu--" before the screen cuts to static as Eggman's broadcast system is destroyed.
258	* DitzyGenius: Like in the OVA, Tails is an absolute genius mechanic and pilot, but still lacks a lot of common sense and awareness. For example, despite being an expert pilot, he didn't know planes couldn't fly into the stratosphere, which sends him and Sonic crash-landing into the ground. Lampshaded in Episode 5, where Sonic and Chuck think these two traits are too contradictory to each other to make sense.
259	-->'''Chuck:''' ...Okay, what's your deal? Are you supposed to be smart or dumb? You can't be both, so pick one.\
260	''(later, as Sonic is freezing in the vacuum of space because Tails failed to account for it)''\
261	'''Sonic:''' Seriously dude, smart or dumb. Pick one.
262	* EatingMachine: Like in the original ''Sonic X'', Bokkun is a robot that can eat and actually gets hungry, asking the crew for a snack before he leaves.
263	--->'''Bokkun:''' Yes, I'm a robot and can eat, don't question it.
264	* EpicFail: E-51 Intelligente enters Mr. Stewart's classroom, introducing himself as a substitute teacher... and is immediately told to GetOut. Which it does. Apparently, Eggman expected everyone to be as gullible as Knuckles and [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't consider what might happen if they weren't]].
265	* FailureHero: Sonic acknowledges in Episode 3 that he always ends up making things worse whenever he tries to get involved, so he'd prefer not to (case in point, the Chaos Control incident, which only happened because Sonic attacked Eggman's machine).
266	* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:After the diamond got stolen, the guards notice a thank-you card Rouge left behind. When they say that the thief was at least polite, the card blows up.]]
267	* FauxHorrific: Eggman cutting off the world's TV with his Super-Sweeper annoys Sonic and friends, but him replacing it with insurance commercials ''horrifies'' them.
268	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Played for laughs in Episode 1, where there is a news ticker {{crawl}} that is only seen for a few seconds that reads "Three Guards Murdered In Jewel Heist", with [[HashtagForLaughs #Foreshadowing]] at the bottom. [[spoiler:The viewer later sees how the guards were murdered by Rouge leaving an explosive calling card for them]].
269	* HowWeGotHere: Episode 5 begins with Tails crash-landing the X-Tornado in Diamond Stadium, and the bulk of it consists of flashbacks explaining how the X-Tornado came to be and how he came to be flying it there. Albert points out that he didn't need ''that'' much of an explanation.
270	* ImplausibleDeniability: In Episode 4, Cream ends up making her presence known to everyone in the room when she's supposed to be pretending to be a toy, right up until Chris ends up pressing her BerserkButton and ends up revealing herself. Chris tries to pass off the event as a hallucination, up until Tails and Amy also reveal themselves as Tails caught on fire after pressing a button. At that point [[InternalReveal Chris gives up and reveals that the Mobians are living in their house]].
271	* InsistentAppellation: Tails always calls Chuck Thorndyke "grandpa," much to his consternation, and asks Tails to call him Chuck. Tails refers to Chuck as grandpa multiple times in Episode 5, and repeatedly insists for the fox to just call him Chuck.
272	* InUniverseFactoidFailure: Tails apparently thinks that hedgehog reproduction involves the ''male'' hedgehog laying eggs.
273	* MilitariesAreUseless: DoubleSubverted. They manage to come up with a solid plan to disable his robots and invade Eggman's base, only for the president to shut it down because he wants to use Eggman to draw out Sonic.
274	* MistakenForMasturbating: Albert is apparently masturbating when Tails crash lands in Diamond Stadium. When Albert looks to pull out the Chaos Emerald from his pocket, Tails initially is horrified to see him supposedly do it again before revealing the emerald itself.
275	* MythologyGag:
276	** When Sonic asks the local police officers if they can tell him where the nearest warp ring is, [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 he says that humans would need to be really stupid to not know what they are]].
277	** After Chris says that they just found Cream and Cheese by watching TV, Tails says he wants to watch too and hopes that they have [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom the Comedy Chimp Show]].
278	** When Sonic spin-dashes into Knuckles, the latter tries to utter [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022 "Do I look like I need your power?"]] before being cut off by Sonic. Tails also mentions that due to the the two having a rivalry from Eggman tricking Knuckles and the resulting shenanigans, he wonders if it would make a good movie.
279	** After Amy says they can't understand Cream's feelings due to them not having mothers, Sonic yells "Don't disrespect Longclaw like that!" off-screen.
280	** In Episode 5, as Eggman is broadcasting Progressive commercials, one of the ones shown on-screen is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY_H4d68IUc the one featuring Sonic]], much to Chuck's confusion.
281	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sonic when he realizes him leading and then dodging out of the way of Eggman's robot enabled his scheme with Chaos Control to succeed.
282	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sonic accidentally sends everybody to Earth when he attacks Eggman's machine. [[DeconstructedTrope He actively acknowledges that his involvement usually makes things worse and tries to avoid getting involved...]] keyword being "tries."
283	* NonIndicativeName: With ''Sonic X'' and the OVA sharing the same canon in this Abridged series, the reveal that Eggman only recently started making his robots with metal retroactively makes Metal Robotnik and Metal Sonic this.
284	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: After Tanaka says he attempted seppuku in the original anime, the text "LOOK IT UP. IT REALLY HAPPENED." appears on screen.[[note]]For those curious, they're most likely referring to Episode 23 where Tanaka says he's going to commit harakiri.[[/note]]
285	* NWordPrivileges: Referenced by Cheese, who worries in episode 2 if he used a word he isn't allowed to say, asking if Knuckles is mad at him for saying it later on.
286	* OnlySaneMan:
287	** Even if he's a major source of comedy, Sonic is one of the few who acknowledges the bizarre things happening around him, such as a police officer disguising himself as air to catch him or four other police officers somehow spinning in a circle at high speeds by grabbing each other.
288	** Cream as well, questioning why and how Eggman didn't make his robots with metal until recently.
289	** The military official who tries to get Eggman arrested for terrorism, only for his plans to be shot down by the president. He also seems to be this within the military itself, at one point exasperatedly asking if he's "in the fucking Twilight Zone".
290	** Chris can be this at times, questioning such things as the existence of a Master Emerald and how easy it is to deceive Knuckles.
291	* ParentalAbandonment: Chris' dad is neglectful, only in this canon it's entirely intentional on his part; the media called him out as abandoning his kid, so he chose to go the whole way and became even more distant so as to hopefully make the media forget he even exists. [[AbusiveParents He's not averse to Chris dying, either, telling him to only go near the pool if he intends on drowning himself.]] Chris' mom completely forgot she has a son in the first place.
292	* PowerPerversionPotential: When Chris claims to Ella that Cream and Cheese are just stuffed animals, Amy realizes that she can do "the thing with the batteries" under this guise before switching back to her medicated behavior.
293	* SadisticChoice: Jerome says the current president only got into office because the last election was between him and "the guy who fucked a cat". According to him, this is the better timeline.
294	* ShoutOut: A brief snippet of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5wulic5wsU Quirky Worky Song]]" from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' is heard during the quick transition that skips over the building montage of the X-Tornado.
295	* SlippingAMickey: It's implied in Episode 5 that Amy intended to do this to Sonic. While it's never outright stated ''what'' the "special ingredient" she put in Sonic's pie was, she later tricks Bokkun into eating it instead, and when Eggman then phones Bokkun, we see him tripping out so badly that he can barely speak coherently. Bear in mind that [[EatingMachine Bokkun is a robot]].
296	* TakeThat: In Episode 5, the idea of Eggman forcing the world to watch Advertising/{{Progressive}} and Advertising/{{Geico}} commercials 24/7 is treated like a war crime.
297	-->'''Sonic:''' YouMonster Haven't the people of this world suffered enough at the hands of Flo from Progressive?!
298	* TemptingFate: During the blackout in the first episode, one scientist advises not to run in the dark. Then another shouts that he can do whatever he wants, only to then run into Sonic and fall over.
299	* ThatCameOutWrong: A RunningGag with Mr. Stewart, whose internal monologues unintentionally keep turning into sexual, pedophilic {{Double Entendre}}s. By Episode 4 he's started doing this in actual conversations, much to his dismay.
300	* ViolationOfCommonSense:
301	** Eggman reveals that for some reason he has only recently started making his robots out of metal. His fellow humans use metal a lot more than he does, even if it gets [[ItMakesSenseInContext trumped by a paper plane]].
302	** The president's priorities are fairly skewed, as he prioritizes his military catching Sonic to adopt as a pet over stopping Eggman.
303	* VocalDissonance: Cheese is actually capable of speech in this series, having a deep, masculine voice as opposed to the high-pitched voices of the Chao in canon.
