History WebVideo / SonicTheOtherMovie

** Episode 3: Features a title, opening, inner-dialogue sequence, credits and stinger parodying those of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', Sonic directly quoting ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' on multiple occasions, a few references to ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'', the famous five-note tune from ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind'', and, inexplicably, Sonic and Tails both making complete separate comments about going to Applebee's.

* NiceHat: Knuckles' quite stylish Indiana Jones number.

All four episodes, ''The One Where Old Man Owl Kills Everyone'', ''Highway Hootenanny'', ''Toot Toot Sonic Warrior Doppelganger Time'', and ''That Damn FOURTH Episode'' can be found on the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuaifaDMM90kEuQnpWypWVfVn_KPEcxrD official playlist here.]]

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: A deliberate example just to mess with people. Sonic gives Tails the level select code for Sonic 1, though we clearly hear the Sonic 3 theme.

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: After [[spoiler:Sonic witnesses the alternate universe that plays out like a generic abridged series, he comes to realize that his world is worth more than he gives it credit for and he resolves to try and treat it as such.]]

''Sonic the Other Movie'' is Reputable Dubbing Pictures' first series, released across the latter half of 2014. It is a four episode GagDub of ''Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie'', created by [=KyoSo=] (going by "[[Series/RedDwarf Smegerama]]" at the time). It was sponsored by Sonic Paradox, the community behind the popular WesternAnimation/SonicShorts. The Other Movie is an abridged series in name only, being nearly uncut with the original story intact and minimal fourth wall breakage. Instead, treating itself much like its own show and not simply a parody of something else, the humor focuses on the dysfunctional characters, their interaction and tons of (occasionally elaborate) visual gags.

* MediumAwareness: The SonicTheHedgehog franchise seems to exist in our heroes' universe.

->''"You might know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you because everything you're going to do, I know you're going to be doing before you even do it because I know everything you're going to do in the same way you know everything I'm going to do, so you know my every move before I make it but at the same time I know your every move before you make it because we both know everything we're going to do before either of us does it! [[MemeticMutation STRAAAANGE, ISN'T IT?]] RRRRRGH!"!"''

** Episode 1: Aside from all the references to various entries in the Sonic franchise littered about, the Little Jack of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' is featured prominently in one establishing shot, one gag mentions Sonic's support of suffrage for ''Film/TheMolePeople'', Sonic listens to "Play That Funky Music" and "Oh Yeah" on his radio, and one of Eggman's robots has the voice of Marik from ''WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. Chris Thorndyke of ''Anime/SonicX'' shows up in TheStinger as Knuckles' understudy.

* GoKartingWithBowser: Robotnik quickly devolves into playing a multiplayer tournament of SonicTheHedgehog2 and Sonic Eraser with his hostages once he gets bored.

** Robotnik and Sarah play SonicTheHedgehog2 together.

* GenreSavvy: Sonic. Ironically more so than Tails.

* GainaxEnding: A straight example, but it's built around parody of the [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Trope Namer]]. [[spoiler: Metal reveals before his death that Owl has been pulling the strings all along, but before Sonic can act on this information the glaciers are shattered when the [[ChekhovsGun incredibly slow turtle-shaped missile Robotnik fired earlier]] blows up, and the Land of the Sky is torn to shreds. Showing a moment of mercy, Owl offers Sonic a new life in an alternate reality which he feeds him a sample of. It plays out as a parody of a stereotypically bad abridged series, with [[StylisticSuck shoddy editing]], [[ManOfAThousandVoices one voice actor playing all the roles]], and a number of silly gimmicks that would get tedious after more than a couple minutes. In an analogy for choosing work with real effort and originality over the generic, Sonic eventually comes to the conclusion that the new world, though comfortingly predictable and safe, is too dull and repetitive to truly enjoy.]]
