"Oh no."

As the sequel to the first live-action movie adaptation of the famous hedgehog's game series, the film and its trailers are packing a few hundred laughs-a-second.

---

Trailers

• One of the very first things we see in the trailer? Sonic eating a chili dog.
• Tom explains that Sonic's powers will be needed not when Sonic chooses the moment, but rather when the moment chooses him. Sonic asks if Tom stole that line from Oprah.
• Something about Agent Stone exclaiming "HE'S BAAACK!" during Robotnik's epic return sequence is amusing.
  • The fact that Stone is now apparently working at a coffee shop. Apparently, Robotnik isn't the only one who loves how he makes lattes. And said coffee shop is called the Mean Bean, AND he's got an Austrian goat with him!
• When Robotnik tells Stone about finding the source of ultimate power:
  Stone: That sounds big.
  Robotnik: It's been on my vision board for years.
• We get to see Sonic riding on the Tornado for the first time. Tails somehow manages to maneuver the plane through the missile barrage. Sonic remarks that it wasn't too bad and then lets out a very cocky laugh, only to get hit by the last missile.
  • It doesn't explode, and instead just takes Sonic with it, doubling the hilarity.
• The "Rings" TV spot shows what's most likely Rachel's reaction to Tails: an exasperated "Oh lord, there's two of them now."
• The "Choose Your Team" TV Spot features Robotnik watching Sonic and Knuckles fight while chowing down on a bowl of popcorn. It even flies out of his hands in slow-motion after the pair ram into each other, sending out a shockwave of energy.
• The "Fastest Trailer", which contains a ton of new footage... all shown in about less than three seconds. When slowed down, some highlights include...
  • A picture of Ben Schwartz wearing Sonic's shoes while recreating the "glance at watch" idle pose from the Genesis games.
  • Robotnik sipping some coffee.
  • Rachel angrily glaring at someone while drawing a line across her throat.
  • An appropriately poorly-made 3D model of Sanic.
  • Idris Elba relaxing while wearing Knuckles' gloves.
  • A picture of the original design for Sonic from the first movie with a no symbol drawn on it.
  • As the official Twitter account for the movie puts it:
    "This is what happens when we let Sonic cut the trailer."
• Sonic seeing Knuckles going down the mountain.
  Sonic: Oh, great. The Winter Soldier.
• The "Official Final Trailer" has its fair share of funny moments as well.
  • Upon meeting Knuckles, Stone refers to him as a "space porcupine". and gets his hand crushed for his troubles.
    Knuckles: I am an echidna warrior.
    • The fact that in between all the crazy schemes, narcissism, and abuse he's experienced under Robotnik's employ, the one thing that gets Stone to potentially question his boss' conduct is Knuckles' presence. Either he's baffled that Robotnik would bring something like Sonic home with him so casually, or he's already green with envy about having to share his role as the doctor's Number Two with someone else.
  • As Sonic's dodging Knuckles' punches, he says that he thinks that it's ironic that a guy named Knuckles is bad at punching just before he gets blown away from a single punch.
• One Argentina trailer has Sonic compare himself and Knuckles to Vin Diesel and The Rock.
  • Also in that trailer, just when Sonic thinks that he and Tails have lost Knuckles, his spiked glove punches through the roof.
    Sonic: He is not lost!
• At the end of Stephane Legar's "Speed Life" music video, Knuckles jumps at Sonic and Tails for a punch.
• In another TV spot, Robotnik has this response to Sonic's "Unstoppable" boast: "I think I just threw up in my mouth."
• In the "Meet Knuckles" preview, Robotnik's stepping aside to let Knuckles slug Sonic is accompanied by him making a silly face and gesture as if silently saying "TA-DA!"
  • The fact that Knuckles is able to tolerate Robotnik's hammy personality without showing any trace of annoyance.
• This interview shows that Knuckles thinks that our society is full of soft and undisciplined weaklings... but he does enjoy the planet's grapes.
  • Calvin suggests that Knuckles and Sonic could sit down together to enjoy some grapes together after the show.
    Knuckles: No.
    Sonic (at the same time): Nah.
    Calvin: Oh well, I tried guys.
  • Also this moment when Calvin asks Knuckles if he's dating anyone:
    Knuckles: The question shall remain unanswered.
    Calvin: Oh well.
• This commercial for the Blu-ray, done in the style of the infomercial parody for the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 video game.

Film

• Robotnik tries to make a good-tasting drink out of mushrooms... and fails repeatedly.
  • In the drink-making process, among the mushrooms is also a small caricature of Sonic that proceeds to get smashed by a rock then crushed down into the drink itself.
  • Why yes, the rock is branded with his own insignia!
  • Despite this, it turns out he's gotten so used to his new diet that when he returns to Earth and Stone makes him his favorite latte, he takes a sip, then remarks that it could use some mushroom.
• When Robotnik finally activates his own satellite, which was made out of his ship's parts and powered by Sonic's quill, the resulting energy blast sends him flying and screaming in the same manner as when he first met the blue hedgehog.
• Sonic trying to be a superhero. It's too bad he's not good at driving, causing a bomb to fall into a nearby storm drain and make several geysers in the road.
  • Sonic's screaming face is reminiscent to his older design's "Uhh... meow?" face.
  • A package full of pipe bombs slide near Sonic. He tries dismissing them as not active. Cue them getting lit. As Sonic tosses them away, one even gets stuck in his quills!
  • How to prevent a car without brakes from running over civilians? Sonic uses his super speed and power tools to dismantle it very quickly, making it fall apart piece-by-piece until it slowly comes to a stop.
  • The car (or what's left of it) comes to a stop in front of a boy, who stands there staring with a Jaw Drop. And then the top scoop of his ice cream cone falls off for apparently no reason.
  • Sonic's "superhero name" is "Blue Justice (trademark pending)".
  • The hostage's reaction to Sonic after all of his Destructive Savior antics is comedy gold.
    Hostage: You are terrible at this!
    Sonic: You know what? Your negative attitude is not helping anyone!
• While on the fishing boat, Tom reveals he knows Sonic snuck out the previous night. Cut to a flashback of him walking into the attic and finding the decoy Sonic set up — a makeshift Sonic-shaped mannequin hiding its face with a newspaper (which is also upside down), while a tape recorder triggered by a very obvious tripwire starts playing a recording of Sonic saying that he's got terrible gas from too many chili dogs (complete with fake farting noises) and Tom should leave the room immediately. Tom just stands there staring in bemusement as the mannequin slowly falls apart. And the recorder starts breaking down for some reason.
  • Sonic's reaction to this is to lament that he should have used real farts.
• At one point during his home-alone partying at the beginning, Sonic realizes he's out of snacks, so he uses one of his rings to pick up a pack of Oreos straight from a grocery store shelf and leave some money behind, which is observed by a dumbfounded customer.
• When Tom calls Sonic to check in, the two have some fun banter.
  Tom: So whatever it is you're doing, I'm sure you can undo it by the time we get home, yeah?
  Sonic: Exactly! I mean, I am deeply offended by such accusations! So, how's Rachel's fiancé? Is he as good-looking in person as he is in pictures?
  Tom: [looks over at Randall] Somehow, better looking.
  Sonic: Wow! You're about to be the third best looking dude in the family! But hey, still on the podium!
• Sonic magnanimously lets Ozzie pick the movie, but begs him not to pick Snow Dogs again.
  Sonic: That movie is the woooooorst~.
• Sonic and Robotnik facing each other again is a pretty intense scene for the large part, with both glaring daggers at each other. Robotnik manages the break the tension briefly by milking his return too long however:
  Sonic: I don't know how you came back, but you made a big mistake coming here.
  Robotnik: Au contraire, mon frere. The mistake was thinking you'd won. But that was just a prelude, an hors d'oeuvre, an aperitif, an amuse-bouche…
  Sonic: (teeth clenched in annoyance) I get it!
• As the battle between Knuckles and Sonic begins, Robotnik's sheer excitement at the situation makes the moment quite hilarious as he watches the battle, ranging from his extremely gleeful expression as he dodges out of the way of Sonic's punch to make way for Knuckles (he might as well be saying "Ta-da!"), to him stealing Sonic's popcorn to watch the two fight.
  • Shortly after Tails hits Knuckles with a car, he robotically makes a "what the heck?" gesture, complete with making whirring sounds with each movement. You could tell Carrey was trying to start a new meme.
  • When Tails and Sonic try to drive away, Robotnik jumps on the windshield and starts growling like a dog. Sonic says he's gone rabid, while Tails is grossed out by him licking the glass. The former gets in one last crack at the mad doctor after Tails manages to shake him off:
    Sonic: Don't forget to take your shots, Eggman!
• Tails introducing himself to Sonic using his nickname.
  Tails: Everyone calls me Tails. You’re probably wondering why.
  Sonic: Let me guess... because of the extra tail?
  Tails: That's right! I should’ve known you’d get that!
• Sonic refers to Knuckles as "Clifford the Big Red Rage Monster".
• Tails about to make a risky play as Knuckles tears apart their car.
  Tails: Do you trust me?
  Sonic: Of course not! I literally just met you!
• Sonic discovers Tails can fly for the first time, prompting this response:
  Sonic: Did your butt just turn into a helicopter?
  Tails: (laughs) A butt-copter!
• When Robotnik overhears about the Master Emerald and comes to Knuckles for an alliance in mutual pursuit, he sends several drones down to approach Knuckles as he clings to a cliffside to help him get up easier as a sign of goodwill.
  Knuckles: You think these machines are a match for me?! I will shatter them, like the bones of a fallen— (sees the robots have formed a staircase for him to ascend) Oh. They are stairs.
  • Special mention goes to Robotnik riding a lawn mower over to the cliffside where Sonic and Tails escaped and then kicking it afterwards for a good measure.
• Immediately following after that is Robotnik trying to explain the idea of an alliance with Knuckles... via Totally Radical talk to try and convey his knowledge of Earth.
  Robotnik: You see... Earth... is my turf, G. (he suddenly starts to floss) If you don't know how to floss, you'll be lost without me!
  Knuckles: I understand nothing of what you just said.
• Agent Stone is reintroduced working as a barista at "The Mean Bean", making a foam art design of Robotnik (in his previous look) in a cup of coffee... and then the customer that the coffee belongs to gets annoyed and swishes the design away with a spoon.
  • Upon getting a text from Robotnik which prompts Stone to get all of the customers out of the coffee shop, one of the things he does is swap the Sanitary Inspection Grade (A) with one marked F-.
  • Later, when he sees Robotnik return, what's the first thing he does after getting his suit back on? Make another foam art design of both him and Robotnik with little hearts!
• The Running Gag of Knuckles crushing people’s hands when he performs a handshake.
  • The first time, when Robotnik complains about his hand being broken, Knuckles cluelessly remarks, "Really? My hand is uninjured."
  • The second time is when he meets Agent Stone. Robotnik cheerfully remarks, "That means he trusts you, Stone."
  • After Sonic tells him that he can have a better chance in life, he gives one to Sonic:
    Sonic: Ow, ow, ow, ow! Are you kidding me with that handshake?!
• Knuckles reads the intercepted text conversation between Sonic and Tom in Robotnik's lab in an incredibly serious tone, including going "Dot... dot... dot" at the loading messages. It's just a casual conversation, but the way he narrates it makes it sound like the enemy has just disclosed war plans.
  • Agent Stone then immediately questions Robotnik about why they have someone so... unintelligent on the team. All jokes aside, he isn't wrong for pointing out how naive Knuckles was.
    Agent Stone: Doctor... why are we working with this imbecile?
  • Knuckles mistakes the hologram of Sonic as being real. He immediately smashes the "tiny magic hedgehog", no questions asked.
  • As he and Robotnik depart, Knuckles refers to Stone as "the goatmilker" and asks why he isn't coming with them. Robotnik points out there isn't enough room on his ship for him, and discreetly talks about "ditching him" as if he's going to dramatically betray Stone tomorrow.
• After Longclaw's hologram disappears, this happens:
  Sonic: I won't let you down, Longclaw...
  (Beat.)
  Wade: (to Tails) So, is he, like...your dad or something?
  Tails: What?
  • In the same scene, Wade also gives us this gem as Tails explains that with Knuckles already on Earth, the search for the compass leading to the Master Emerald is now a race.
    Wade: Knuckles...? Y'know, I knew a kid in middle school named Knuckles; could fit his whole fist in his mouth. If this is the same Knuckles... (exhales heavily) ...we are screwed.
  • During Longclaw's message:
    Longclaw: The Emerald has the power to turn thoughts into reality.
    Wade: (whispering) Like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters.
    Tails: Shhh!
    • Much later in the movie, as Wade witnesses the reveal of a giant robot constructed by a Master Emerald-powered Robotnik, he finds himself vindicated:
      Wade: I knew it! Just like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!
• Tom and Maddie have a discussion about what they want for Sonic as he grows up and their concerns for him, ending with this:
  Maddie: (about Sonic) He's a smart kid. He'll find his way.
  (Description Cut to Sonic and Tails trying to withstand a harsh blizzard in Siberia)
  Sonic: I absolutely cannot find my way! We are completely, totally, unequivocally lost!
• In order to take shelter from a blizzard while they're in Siberia, Sonic takes Tails to a bar. Upon seeing the people there and the many scary things they throws at him (one of whom stabs a knife into the table), Tails faints in an instant. Sonic's reaction on the other hand?
  Sonic: Table for two, please!
  • There is also an elderly woman knitting a balaclava with a skull on it, holding it up to the duo with an evil grin. And THEN someone chops a fish's head off, landing at Sonic and Tails' feet - the fishhead even inexplicably says: "RUN".
  • Their snow gear is pretty funny looking as well. They almost resemble the boys from South Park.
  • This exchange when Sonic learns Tails has been spying on him for months.
    Sonic: Wait, so you've been watching me all this time? Even in the shower?
    Tails: Ha, that's a trick question! Sonic the Hedgehog prefers bubble baths!
    Sonic: Man, you're good!
    • The fact that Sonic seems to be completely unbothered by this. After all, he did it himself to Tom and Maddie in the first movie!
  • Tails's translator is very unhelpful: ordering them both a disgusting meal, accidentally insulting the waitress' breath, and telling everyone else that he just farted. This almost causes them to be tossed in a bonfire upon their covers being blown. Thankfully, it also finds a way to solve the fight... a Dance-Off, which is as funny as possible!
  • The waitress actually looks at Tails in disgust after he orders their food.
  • The main Siberian dancer even has a tattoo of himself on his chest, adding to the insanity of the dance battle. When he is worried, he crosses himself and his tattooed self. Sonic's puzzled reaction to the tattoo's reveal only clinches it:
    Sonic: Whaaaat.
  • Earlier after the two were outed as alien animals, Sonic's first response to the aggressive bar patrons?
    Sonic: Uhhh... meow?
• After Sonic and Tails earn the respect of the bar patrons, cut to the aftermath of the party, where the patrons are passed out drunk.
• Wade enters the Mean Bean wearing a hat with a red alarm light on it, which could not be less intimidating to Stone, as he asks "Why is there a light on your head?" Made funnier when you connect the dots and realize he's driving around on a kick scooter with a light strapped to his helmet because the squad car Tails stole and subsequently totaled fleeing from Knuckles was his!
• Wade's interrogation skills on Agent Stone while at the Mean Bean.
  Wade: I'm done playing games, pal. You're gonna tell me what I wanna know. (holds up a butterknife threateningly) And I am asking you, for the last time... what would you like on your bagel?
  • Even better, as Stone tries to tell Wade, it's a display bagel. Wade doesn't believe him until he tries to take a bite.
  • After he enters the Mean Bean, he tells Stone to put his hands in the air - and wiggle his fingers "like [he]'s just finished a big musical number".
• It's a sweet moment when Sonic and Tails fall asleep cuddling together in the Siberian tavern... until the next day, when Sonic wakes up in horror to find the old lady snuggling with him, too, and when he tries to get away, she starts touching his face!
  Sonic: Tails! Tails! We have a situation!
• After finding the owl temple inside the Siberian cave, Tails translates the inscription that details the history of the war between the owls and echidnas over the Chaos Emerald, which reminds Sonic of another rivalry:
  Tails: Sounds like the Owls and the Echidnas have been fighting each other for centuries.
  Sonic: Like Vin Diesel and The Rock.
• Upon encountering Robotnik and Knuckles in the Siberian cave, Sonic takes the time to mock his enemy's new look.
  Sonic: Okay, we really gotta talk about your new look. It's like Professor X meets with the Monopoly man!
• Tom disrupting his sister-in-law's wedding.
  • One of the first things we see is Tom's phone ringing loudly in the middle of Rachel's wedding. His ringtone is, of course, the classic theme from Green Hill Zone.
    Rachel: SO HELP ME, THOMAS!
  • Sonic wants him to open a ring portal and save him from an avalanche. Problem is, he accidentally switched it with one of the wedding rings. His attempt at 'inspecting' the rings fail, ultimately forcing Tom to punch the groom to get it.
    • Tom then opens the ring portal right behind the altar to save Sonic and Tails. Unfortunately, they bring an avalanche with them. To Hawaii!
      Rachel: Sn-oh my god.
      Tom: Oh, boy.
      Sonic: INCOMING!
    • After the avalanche ruins Rachel's wedding, Tom's reaction to Sonic after making sure he's okay.
      Tom: Are you ok?
      Maddie: What's happening? Are you hurt?
      Sonic: No no no, I'm fine.
      Tom: Oh, good. 'CAUSE YOU'RE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!
    • Rachel's reaction to seeing Tails. "Oh Lord, there are two of them, now!"
    • Sonic desperately saying that they need to get some help for the unconscious Tails? Sad. Him not being sure if they need a doctor or a vet? Kind of hilarious.
• The Reveal that the wedding was all a G.U.N. plan, complete with the priest showing his Bible has a taser hidden within. And what's the name of the operation? "Operation: Catfish".
  • Rachel angrily asks if Jojo is an agent, to which a very confused Jojo says, "What?"
  • Then she asks if the woman who waxed (what is implied to be) her bikini area was an agent.
  • The entirety of Rachel's confrontation with Randall, which doubles as Awesome.
    Rachel: RANDALL!! WIFEY'S HOME!! (Evil Laugh)
  • Rachel pointing out the obvious problem when your organization's acronym is literally spelled "gun".
    Commander Walters: After the events in San Francisco, a global task force was created, devoted to protecting our planet from alien threats. That day, Guardian Units of Nations was born.
    Rachel: G-U-N? Seriously?
    Commander Walters: G.U.N., yeah.
  • After Randall jumps in front of Rachel to stop her from getting tazed, he asks her to be honest and tell him how bad it is.
    Randall: I'm so cold...
    Rachel: You landed on our ice sculpture!
• The first thing Commander Walters does after arresting Sonic, Tails, and Tom? Immediately call Olive Garden for a new reservation.
  • The fact that Tom refers to the Commander as "Olive Garden guy".
• When Maddie challenges Walters on Robotnik being dead, he at first completely blows her off, but after she asks if he's sure Robotnik is really dead, Walters pulls out a radio and tells them to check.
  • Later, once it becomes clear that, yes, he is back, Tom and Maddie smugly ask if he believes them now. All a Bound and Gagged Walters can do is sigh and nod.
• Everything regarding Maddie and Rachel discovering first-hand what the gadgets built by Tails do.
  • The first gadget they use is an Anti-Gravity device that sends the agent they used it on floating off into the sky.
    Maddie: He's gonna come back down, right?
    Rachel: I don't know.
    Maddie: (groans nervously, running onward)
    Rachel: (looks up at the unfortunate agent) Good luck! (follows Maddie)
    • A few scenes later with Randall and Commander Walters, the same agent falls from above, crashing onto a nearby table— specifically, right after Commander Walters declares the operation a flawless success.
  • When Maddie is cornered, Rachel inadvertently takes out every single GUN agent with Tails' boomerang weapon.
    Rachel: [excitedly] I DID NOT MEAN TO DO THAT!
  • After Randall jumps in front of Rachel when Walters tries to tase her, she pulls out Tails' gun. The old man smugly asks "Is that supposed to be a weapon?" while still pointing his taser at her, so Rachel tests it by shooting a nearby cake, which blows up in a messy way. Walters' Oh, Crap! face as he drops his taser and raises his hands is priceless.
    Rachel: LOOKS LIKE IT'S REAL, HA!
• Robotnik's reaction to him and Knuckles being chased through a temple hallway by a giant boulder like in a certain Indiana Jones movie.
  Robotnik: I don't want to die like this! It's derivative!
  • Both Robotnik and Knuckles' faces after having just survived the boulder, as well as the former's response to said fact:
    Robotnik: (points to their legs) Two and two. Great! We're still bipedal... more or less.
  • Also the fact that they both ended up in the exact same position with their legs sticking straight up in the air.
• Robotnik, after realizing how loaded the temple is with booby traps, decides to use one of his gadgets to help him and Knuckles get through. Said gadget gives directions like a smartphone navigation app. Sonic, who doesn't have anything like it, is forced to run all across the temple, which leads to him crashing through the floor to reach the Emerald's chamber.
  Robotnik: Work smarter, not harder.
• After Knuckles saves Sonic from drowning, the two end up sitting on the beach together. What seems to be a serious moment of self-reflection for Knuckles is interrupted thanks to Sonic throwing sandballs at Knuckles to get him to open up.
  Knuckles: How dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow?!
  • Knuckles then unceremoniously buries Sonic in a whole mountain of sand via a particularly big sandball.
  • There's something mildly amusing about the beach scene in general. The two most powerful beings in the universe have just had a destructive battle with generations of buildup behind it, that damaged a good chunk of the temple they were in... and are now reduced to throwing sand at each other. And if Knuckles' comment about being attacked is any indication, he considers this a perfectly valid form of combat.
• When the G.U.N. agents surround the Mean Bean, they confirm that Robotnik has a hostage. Tom and Maddie arrive in Green Hills with Commander Walters via G.U.N. helicopter soon after and overhear the details, simultaneously deducing who it is and not being surprised in the least:
  Commander Walters: Status report.
  Female G.U.N. Agent: Robotnik is in there with Stone and a hostage. Possibly local PD, and I'm not saying he's dumb, but if he is local PD, this town's in a lot of trouble.
  Tom and Maddie: (completely deadpan) Wade.
• When Robotnik teleports into the Mean Bean, giving off a vacant stare as he's flooded with the Master Emerald's power, Stone asks if he's feeling okay. Robotnik tells him just how powerful he has become with the Emerald's power... by singing it in Auto-Tune.
  Robotnik: I'm more than okay. I'm upgraded! [Autotune] Sinister 3.0~! My game is next level~!
• Tom and Robotnik only interact once, when Chaos-empowered Robotnik floats out of the Mean Bean, but it's a great Call-Back to all their banter from the first movie.
  Tom: Rocking the new spring collection, I see!
  Robotnik: Well, if it isn't... the Pastry Kinnnnngggg...?
  Tom: The Donut Lord! Y'know, if you were a real genius, you'd remember the name of the guy who helped kick your butt off this planet, and I'll do it again if you mess with Green Hills!
  Robotnik: Congratulations on your oh-so-temporary sense of superiority!
• When Robotnik is flying away to his newly built Death Egg Robot, Agent Stone comes rushing out of the Mean Bean and begs to be taken with him. And Robotnik complies by magically dragging him into the air by the leg.
  Stone: DOCTOR! TAKE ME WITH YOU!
• When Robotnik orders Stone to activate the weapons in the Death Egg Robot, Stone is baffled, prompting Robotnik to warp over to the controls and press the buttons himself while telling Stone to read the manual (Keep in mind that Robotnik just built this mech with the scrap metal from every machine within a five-mile radius of downtown Green Hills using his newfound chaos powers, so one wouldn't expect there to be a manual). It's even hilarious when Robotnik warns Stone about the green lightning that he's emitting from his body!
  Robotnik: (as he's electrocuting Stone) You might want to ground yourself!
  • Later on during the big battle, Stone manages to use something called the Stache Smasher, which even Robotnik was unaware of. How did Stone learn about that? He read the manual, whose cover design resembles the Sega Genesis', to boot!
    • The fact that this implies, in spite of literally creating the robot with the power of his own thoughts, Robotnik not only doesn't know everything it does, but that he also doesn't know he made a manual for it too.
    • The logo on the manual reads "EGG" instead of "SEGA".
  • And when Robotnik sees that Stone is knocked unconscious after Sonic hits the robot with its own missile, in typical Robotnik fashion, he hardly shows any concern, only bemoaning the fact that now he'll get a report about a hostile work environment.
• As they fly toward the final battle, Tails nervously asks Knuckles if there's any hard feelings about ramming him with the police car earlier.
  Knuckles: I was completely uninjured. And my revenge will come when you least expect it, fox.
  (Tails pulls a face that screams "Why did I ask?")
  • Knuckles may have meant to say that last line to himself, but essentially said the quiet part loudly.
• Sonic attempts to come up with a team plan to stop Robotnik. Key word: "attempts".
  Sonic: We need a plan. Knuckles, use your strength to—
  (while Sonic's in mid-sentence, Knuckles wordlessly crosses his arms and falls backwards off the Tornado's wing, spinning into the trees below with a distinct whistling sound)
  Sonic: ...jump off the plane. Wow. Okay.
• When the three discuss how to beat the Death Egg Robot, Knuckles tells Sonic to attack the groin, much to Sonic's horror. His dramatic body motions in the middle of the fight as he says the below only adds to the hilarity.
  Knuckles: I suggest the groin!
  Sonic: What?! No, no!
  Knuckles: Traditionally, yes! The groin is the weakest spot!
  Sonic: Stop! Saying! Groin!
  • Later on, Sonic realizes instead that he can act as a distraction for Robotnik, claiming he lives rent-free in his head in the process, as he hates him more than anything. He is Robotnik's weakness, or in other words, "I'm the groin!"
• Just about most of Robotnik's time in the Death Egg Robot, with the robot mimicking his hammy movements in his walks, going "Coming and getting!" in reaction to Sonic's taunts before becoming rather winded in chasing him down, then attempting to wipe out Sonic with a snot rocket laser.
  Sonic: Alright, mustache. You want me? Come and get me!
  Robotnik: You don't tell me about coming and getting. I am on the CUTTING EDGE AT COMING AND GETTING!
• After Tails distracts Robotnik with holograms of himself long enough for Knuckles to get into position, Knuckles claims to be a hologram as well.
• When Super Sonic pulls a Punch Catch on the Death Egg Robot, he momentarily shifts from a Death Glare to an unamused stare, as if he's nonverbally asking Robotnik if he really thought the I Surrender, Suckers trick would work.
• Super Sonic finishing off the Death Egg Robot with a tiny little tap of his toes to send it falling back, just like in the intro cutscene of Sonic '06. Robotnik's offended reaction sells it.
  Robotnik: Ohh, it's like that? Okay, we're not friends! (falls out of the Death Egg Robot) LATER, HATER!!!
• After Sonic has transformed into Super Sonic, Knuckles claims that Sonic is no longer the same Sonic he was before. What's the first thing Super Sonic does after he defeats Robotnik? Use his newfound power to summon deluxe chili dogs from the sky. One of them even hits Knuckles in the face, as pictured above.
  Knuckles: (with two hot dogs and chili on his eyes) Okay. He is exactly the Sonic you once knew.
  [a hot dog bun falls on Knuckles' face.]
• Knuckles and his complete misunderstanding of how baseball works. First, he asks why he's supposed to be angry at the ball, questions the logic of running the bases back to his starting position, responds to Tom's "give [the ball] a ride" by asking where he should give it a ride to, then he punches the baseball instead of hitting it with the bat, sending it through a scoreboard, and then he promptly declares himself the winner, all while happily claiming the bases for himself.
  Knuckles: I am having the fun!
  • When the Wachowskis decide to take the kids for ice cream as a celebration, Knuckles asks what ice cream is, and if it has grapes in it. Later, he excitedly informs Sonic that the ice cream has sprinkles in it.
    Knuckles: Sonic! (excitedly smacking the car roof) I have just been told they have sprinkles!!
  • Knuckles and Sonic have started to bicker like they're actual brothers. Knuckles refers to the Wachowskis' car as his 'victory chariot', all while bragging that he beat Sonic once more. Sonic isn't taking this standing down, and argues that he beat Knuckles way more than that. Tails also gets in on it, complaining that Knuckles' power hit "shouldn't count".
  • When Knuckles jumps into the truck, he ends up missing and crashes on its side, thus, he's hanging off the edge for a little bit.
    Knuckles: Ah! My victory chariot! (SLAM)
  • The very idea that after the baseball game, our heroes forgot that they left their cooler behind, which contained the Master Emerald inside. Of course, Sonic immediately remembers to pick it up, but the thought is still hilarious in retrospect.
