Funny / Sonic and the Black Knight

Warning: Spoilers Off applies to these pages. Proceed at your own risk.


  • The opening scene of Sonic and The Black Knight: Sonic gets warped into Camelot, holding a pair of chili dogs, which he makes a diving save to keep from falling. After eating one, he then demonstrates his speed by tossing the other one up in the air, routing all of the Mooks in sight, and then catching it.
    • The latter part is really more of a Moment of Awesome. The real Funny is when Sonic prepares to rush at Arthur... and Merlina grabs him mid-run, pulls him back, making him drop the last chili dog, and as she warps them out of the area, Sonic lets out a Big "NO!" at the loss of his lunch. The entire sequence is so utterly ridiculous that it somehow wraps right back around to being funny again!
      • Made still funnier by the fact that Sonic's staring down the Black Knight, holding his chili dog as if it was a sword, immediately before Merlina does that.
      • It gets even better if you read the manual beforehand: apparently, Sonic was just about to meet up with Amy before getting thrown into Camelot, implying that the chili dog he lost was meant for her to eat. As it turns out, he really was trying to meet her for their date.
    • How Sonic gets warped into Camelot is in itself hilarious. Most games in the series would introduce Sonic by having him already running towards his next destination or showing up in the nick of time to save the day. Black Knight, however, introduces Sonic by having him forcibly dragged into the story while he was just minding his own business, screaming in terror as he falls from the sky, and unceremoniously slamming into the ground with a hard Face Plant. And then his immediate priority afterwards is to rush to save his chili dogs from being spoiled before he even notices he's somewhere different.
  • The description for the doughnut item.
  • In the cutscene after you defeat King Arthur for the first time, Caliburn dubs Sonic 'Knave the Hedgehog' after Sonic tells him to stop calling him 'Knave.' Sonic's response? Calling Caliburn an oversized letter opener.
    • In the same cutscene, Sonic and Caliburn start arguing. Then King Arthur insults Sonic by saying he isn't worth slaying. What makes this funny is that Caliburn agrees with King Arthur.
      King Arthur: Ha! A fool of a knight. Not even worth slaying.
      Caliburn: See? Even he thinks so.
      Sonic: [furious] Well it's your fault! You're a sad excuse for a teacher!!
  • After Sonic gets Caliburn, it's a pretty funny sight seeing the hedgehog having an argument with a sword.
  • Sonic meeting Lancelot for the first time, and having Casual Danger Dialogue, before deciding to try and leave. Even funnier since the ensuing boss fight is the easiest boss in the game. Also, Lancelot's reaction to his defeat.
    Lancelot: I was far too careless...
  • Sonic's reaction at meeting the "Lady of the Lake" for the first time, here played by Amy. He's about to bolt until Caliburn stops him. Throughout the whole meeting, Sonic has an uneasy look on his face.
  • Sonic's reaction to saving the little girl's family, only for it to be the Lady of the Lake in disguise. And Caliburn thought saving innocent townspeople from a dragon was going to deter them.
  • After Sonic defeats and subsequently saves Sir Percival — represented by Blaze the Cat — Caliburn tells them to save "the hugs and kisses for later". Instead of getting flustered (though Percival did blush), Sonic asks Caliburn if he's jealous, to which the sword splutters an unconvincing "ridiculous!"
  • At one point during gameplay in Black Knight, you have to grind some railing over lava, prompting Caliburn to comment on how easy it'd be for them to fall in.
    Sonic: I know, isn't it great!?
  • In the cutscene before the credits, Sonic sports an incredibly incredulous face when he's told he's the real King Arthur.
  • After the credits in Black Knight, Sonic is telling Amy about what happened. She doesn't buy it, and thinks he's just making up excuses for missing a date with her, and not only did she get Stood Up, she's also displeased.
    Amy: That's the lamest excuse ever! You just forgot about our date!
    Sonic: No, no! It's true, I tell ya! (Beat) YIKES! NO! AMY, WAIT! PUT DOWN THAT HAMMER!
    Amy: Hey! You get back here, Sonic! (chases after him with her hammer) SONIC!!!
    • On that note, this is the last we ever hear of Jason Griffith as Sonic, considering the voice actors were replaced starting with Sonic Free Riders. The fact that Jason's last words as Sonic are panicking and begging Amy to put down her hammer, especially compared to Ryan Drummond's last Sonic lines in Sonic Heroes, can make for some decent Black Comedy.
    • Made even funnier by the name of the track that plays on the official soundtrack: The King's Peril.
