YMMV / Sonic The Abridgehog

• Animation Age Ghetto: Due to the abridged series using footage of Sonic X, Episode 5 got hit with a "YouTube for Kids" designation a day after being uploaded, despite it containing references to masturbation and implied drug use.
• Awesome Music: "What I'm Made Of" and "His World ~ Solaris Phase 2" are used during Sonic and Metal's final fight, with the former also being the opening theme for the Sonic X abridged series.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • One of Robotnik's creations referring to him as "Daddy"? That's new.
  • A version of Metal Sonic called "Chaos Sonic" shows up in Sonic Prime. His introduction and interactions with Sonic are eerily similar to Hyper Metal Sonic's playful mockery of Sonic in the abridged version of the OVA. Even Abridgehog Sonic noted the similarities.
    Sonic: (wearily) And now we've got two of them...
• Take That, Scrappy!:
  • Sara is criticized throughout the film for being a human-cat hybrid that the president claims is Sonic's girlfriend.
  • Chris is treated a bit harsher than in canon to rebate his infamous Spotlight-Stealing Squad qualities, his father being outright abusive and telling him that he should only go near the pool if he plans on drowning.
• Squick:
  • Any mention of Sara's half-cat heritage or drawing attention to the fact that Robotnik wants to marry her and have her carry his children.
    "WII GUN A PORK!"
  • The DeviantArt images Tails uploads into Metal. As he himself puts it, once you take the slightest glimpse at one of them, your very perception of reality will be obliterated. He's not wrong.
    Sonic: Did you include the one of me and Shadow fused into a toilet?
    Tails: (thumbs up)
    Sonic: I'm so proud of you.
• Tear Jerker: The scene of Sonic trying to save Metal, and Metal refusing, is played completely straight (outside the one joke from Metal).
  Sonic: Metal! Take my hand, Metal!
  Knuckles: (grabs Sonic) Are you out of your mind?! That thing's a goddamn killing machine! Why are you trying to save him?!
  Sonic: He saved the President, Knuckles! There might be some good in him somewhere! There might be a chance for us to—
  Metal: (smacks Sonic's hand away)
  Sonic: Huh?
  Metal: Death... is my only salvation... potty-man... look on the bright side... now we know... who the true Sonic—
  (cuts off as he gurgles and sinks into the magma)
