7	''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). 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.
8
9	[[HeroicComedicSociopath Sonic the Hedgehog]] is a dick and his sidekick [[DeadpanSnarker Tails the Fox]], despite being a sniveling coward when faced with danger, desperately wishes he could take over Sonic's job. Once they are called to action by [[AffablyEvil President Robotnik]] who claims his giant metal brother has incorrectly installed a nuclear reactor that could meltdown at any minute. Joined by the totally radical [[SurferDude Knuckles the Flying Mole-Person]], our heroes fight Metal Robotnik despite being nearly defeated by his anus cannon. But, of course, all that was just a ridiculously circuitous ploy to pit Sonic against the [[EvilKnockoff Super Duper Metal Sonic]], an exact duplicate of our titular hero in every way, including his obnoxious personality and fondness for saying "bitch". Meanwhile [[CloudCuckoolander Old Man Owl]], charged with looking after Sonic's place while he's away invites all his old army buddies over for a night of excitement and debauchery.
10
11	The four episodes were released on June 26th, August 6th, October 6th, and December 26th of 2014. On April 20th 2015 a Director's Cut of episode 1 was released to improve the quality of the editing and add some additional jokes, including a scene-length stinger.
12
13	It was followed up in 2016 with ''WebVideo/XonicS'', and take a wild guess what [[Anime/SonicX that tackled]].
14
15	----
16	!!The overall abridged series features tropes such as:
17	* AdaptationDistillation: Averted, unusually so for an AbridgedSeries.
18	* AdaptationExpansion: Episode four runs a quite a bit beyond the original ending of the OVA.
19	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Most characters are much more of a jerk in this work than in official material, with the exception of Robotnik. Knuckles acts and talks like a surfer dude to try to impress Tails.
20	* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Old Man Owl]] of all people.
21	* AffablyEvil: Robotnik, who seems nicer than either of our heroes and has some actual chemistry with Sonic and Sarah.
22	* AffectionateParody: Obviously.
23	* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Robotnik has an eye for Sarah. Unfortunately she's fifteen, so it's probably an example of PaedoHunt.
24	* AntiHero: EVERYONE.
25	* ApocalypseHow: Class 4, should the Scrap Brain Zone reactor suffer a meltdown. [[spoiler: But then Class 6 occurs in Episode 4, so it's not like that really matters.]]
26	* BeleagueredAssistant: In stark contrast to his official persona, Tails is portrayed as incredibly bitter over being relegated to the position of sidekick under Sonic.
27	* BrilliantButLazy: Sonic is fully capable of going all action hero to save the day, but only if he feels like it.
28	-->'''Sonic:''' Lay off, Tails! It's Labor Day!
29	* ButtMonkey: Tails, due to being less air-headed than the rest of the cast.
30	* CatGirl: Sarah. For some reason.
31	* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the series, Tails is slowly getting over his jealousy and coming to terms with being Sonic's sidekick.
32	* CharacterExaggeration: Sonic is substantially more of a JerkAss than in any official portrayals, and Old Man Owl [[SanitySlippage has all but lost his mind]].
33	* CerebusSyndrome: Episode 4 in particular, culminating in the ending which [[spoiler: blows up the world and hits the ResetButton, literally resetting the show to episode one but re-imagined a bad abridged series (or more accurately a deconstruction of one). The sequence is one big jab at lazy internet comedy, but also takes a shot at ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'']].
34	* CloudCuckoolander: Old Man Owl, [[spoiler: but he's faking it to cover up his real motives.]]
35	* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: InUniverse: 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.
36	* CrapsackWorld: Dr. Robotnik, a known super-villain, was elected president of South Island.
37	* CutawayGag: Big's Bass Bonanza, and every look we get at Owl's wild party.
38	** Another example in episode 3, featuring a "STOP THE TAPE HERE AND HAVE STUDENTS DISCUSS POSSIBLE ANSWERS" screen after Tails demands to know what Robotnik's real plan is.
39	* DeadpanSnarker: Tails. Overlaps with OnlySaneMan (see below).
40	* DenserAndWackier: Episodes 3 and 4.
41	* DirtyCoward: Tails may be smarter than Sonic, but there's a reason he needs him around.
42	* TheDitz: Sonic, Sarah and ''especially'' Old Man Owl.
43	* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler: Old Man Owl, not Metal Robotnik,]] sabotaged the reactor in an attempt to set off a chain reaction that would destroy the world. Even though the trio saves the day, [[spoiler: the world still gets destroyed in the end.]]
44	* DysfunctionJunction: Makes sense given how much the writer [=KyoSo=] clearly loves ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.
45	* EditingWorks: A given, this being an AbridgedSeries.
46	* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The results of the potential nuclear meltdown are less than promising.
47	* EvilKnockoff: Played with. Aside from being under Robotnik's control, Metal Sonic speaks and behaves exactly like Sonic.
48	* EvilVersusEvil: The "good" former President actually sounds worse than Robotnik.
49	* FearfulSymmetry: Metal Sonic and Sonic.
50	* GadgeteerGenius: Tails is a skilled mechanic and electrician, although unlike in canon depictions where this is often his defining character trait it only comes up twice.
51	* GoodIsNotNice: Our lead characters aren't particularly pleasant people, personality-wise.
52	* GoingCritical: Robotnik tricks Sonic and Tails into thinking they're stopping this from happening.
53	* GoryDiscretionShot: When Metal Sonic goes after Old Man Owl. Subverted when it turns out later that he didn't do anything to harm him.
54	* GreyAndGrayMorality: Robotnik wants to build a utopia plastered with his face, and Sonic fights against it just for his own amusement.
55	* GrumpyOldMan: Old Man Owl has moments of this during his nonsensical jabbering.
56	-->'''Owl:''' ...and the empty fuel gauge not obvious, and gas prices going up, and the kids with their rocket boards and those dastardly Walkmen!
57	* HeadbuttingHeroes: Sonic and Tails can't stand or do without each other.
58	* HeroicComedicSociopath: Sonic, in droves.
59	-->'''Sonic:''' (climbing out the wreckage of a plane crash) Tails, you know I can’t get dust in my contacts!
60	-->'''Tails:''' Yes, I'm fine, thanks for asking.
61	** The Former President is even worse, not even once thinking of anyone's safety besides his own.
62	** Although Sarah is exactly as self-absorbed, so maybe ItRunsInTheFamily.
63	* HilariousOuttakes: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-4M7-Iltac The gag reel]] and the second gag reel]]op full of flubs and abusive ad-libs.
64	-->'''Sonic:''' I was a young boy, acne, y'know how it is. And, uh, pretty much everything that moved, as long as it was relatively at the same speed of sound mind you, but anything that moved, I was just smashin' left and right. I have like twenty different girlfriends. No, you can't meet any of them.
65	* HumongousMecha: Metal Robotnik, at least after he was [[BlackComedy murdered and turned into a vehicle]].
66	* HurricaneOfPuns: Knuckles, in his attempts to seem hip and cool to Tails.
67	* HypocriticalHumor: Tails is absolutely ''horrified'' when he realizes Sarah has a tail. Later, in Episode 4, Tails shouts that his worst fear is being thrown into the air.
68	* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Sonic to Metal Sonic, as quoted above.
69	* IdiotHero: Sonic has shades of this, although due to his short attention span rather than legitimates stupidity.
70	* IncrediblyLamePun: Knuckles seems to spout one at least every other line.
71	-->'''Knuckles:''' (stuck in glue) Looks like I’m in a sticky situation, bro!
72	* InsufferableGenius: Tails, to some extent.
73	-->'''Sonic:''' (as strange blobs form in the air around them) What is that stuff?
74	-->'''Tails:''' It's not just stuff! It's beautiful shafts of heavenly light, you philistine!
75	* JerkAss: Everybody except for Dr. Robotnik, the villain.
76	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sonic is a dick, but he'll do anything to save the day.
77	* KungFoley: Frequently taken to the hilarious LogicalExtreme, most notably with the runway catapult in episode 1.
78	* MachineMonotone: Averted. Metal Sonic, while speaking a bit slower than Sonic and with a robotic filter, has a lot of emotion to his voice.
79	* ManOfAThousandVoices: [=SilentlyVocal=] plays Sonic, Old Man Owl and various extras while [=Time8th=] plays Robotnik, the Old President and various other extras.
80	* MediumAwareness: The Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog franchise seems to exist in our heroes' universe.
81	-->'''Sonic:''' Man, look at all these stoplights. Could've used some of these in All Stars Racing, y'know?
82	* MotorMouth: Any time Tails starts panicking. Most notably when Metal Robotnik returns from the dead:
83	-->'''Tails:''' Holy freaking ass sacks! Sonic, you didn’t kill him hard enough! I don’t wanna die! I’m so young! I’m not even old enough to get confused about my sexuality for a couple years before settling down with a nice girl, having two or three kids and eventually succumbing to all the illnesses my doctor keeps telling me I don’t have even though I looked up the symptoms and I’ve got, like, all of them!
84	* NiceMeanAndInbetween: Knuckles, Tails and Sonic, respectively.
85	* OnlySaneMan: Tails, to the chagrin of the rest of the cast.
86	-->'''Tails:''' Uh, excuse me, but does nobody else care that he (Robotnik) tried to kill us not five minutes ago?
87	-->'''Robotnik and Sonic:''' Shut up, Tails.
88	* OriginalFlavor: The plot of the source material is kept largely intact, with much of the humor coming from the now incredibly dysfunctional characters and their interaction.
89	* PostModernism: Our heroes' titular franchise seems to exist in their universe, and Tails seems be aware he's in a TV show.
90	* PresidentEvil: Dr. Robotnik, who must have [[VillainWithGoodPublicity one hell of a campaign manager]].
91	* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Occasionally employed for SoundtrackDissonance.
92	* OpportunisticBastard: Tails tries to sell out Sonic for his own safety multiple times.
93	-->'''Tails:''' If you're only gonna shoot him, let me go!
94	* RaceLift: Knuckles was misidentified as a mole in the English dub of the OVA. He remains one here, in reference.
95	* ReCut: 10 months after the release of episode 1, a Director's Cut was released to bring its editing up to the standards of episode 4.
96	* RedOniBlueOni: Sonic and Tails, respectively.
97	* ReferenceOverdosed: See ShoutOut, below.
98	* TheRival: Tails sees Sonic as this, and Sonic has no idea.
99	* RuinsOfTheModernAge: Star Light Zone and its many still-functional traffic lights.
100	* RunningGag: Several, notably:
101	** The "BAN!", first appearing in episode 1, will accompany at least two explosions per episode.
102	** Tails yelling "Ow, my face!" when he gets hurt.
103	** Several times when the characters apparently die, the credits begin playing for a split second before we cut back to reveal they're fine. Subverted in episode 3 when the joke is set up but, instead of credits, we see text reading "I PROMISE NEVER TO MAKE THE 'THEY'RE DEAD' JOKE AGAIN. PLEASE FORGIVE ME."
104	** Rampant quoting of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', mostly from the titular Sonic.
105	* ShaggyDogStory: The series ends on [[spoiler:an IncrediblyLamePun that completely undercuts the message of everything building up to it.]]
106	* ShoutOut: Quite a few.
107	** 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 ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. Chris Thorndyke of ''Anime/SonicX'' shows up in TheStinger as Knuckles' understudy.
108	** Episode 2: A parody of the opening from ''Series/TwentyFour'', a line from Creator/MontyPython, and a brief cameo from Chris Thorndyke. Metal Robotnik has the same voice filter as the [[Series/DoctorWho Daleks]].
109	** 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\|1994}}'', the famous five-note tune from ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind'', and, inexplicably, Sonic and Tails both making complete separate comments about going to Applebee's.
110	** Episode 4: opening parodies ''Manga/DeathNote'' and the GainaxEnding is built around an elaborate parody of the trope-naming ''Evangelion'' finale.
111	* SoundtrackDissonance: The series is a huge fan of this trope in the latter two episodes.
112	** Episode 3's use of the Blue Danube Waltz and Beethoven's 9th Symphony as battle music.
113	** Episode 4 takes it a step further, heavily featuring [[StandardSnippet the Hallelujah Chorus and Air on a G String]] throughout the fight with Metal Sonic. And a jazzy swing piece.
114	* SmallNameBigEgo: Tails, of course.
115	* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: The ending of episode 4 is built around this, but generally it comes from Knuckles' puns and one example from Robotnik:
116	-->'''Robotnik:''' The reactor is currently outputting far more power than any of the transformers can handle, dare I say producing enough energy to explode Optimus Prime’s head. (pauses to chuckle heartily) [[ButIDigress Seriously though]], this is a dire situation and we’re all going to die.
117	* StandardSnippet: A number of classical examples are featured throughout, namely the Blue Danube, Music/OdeToJoy and the Hallelujah Chorus. See SoundtrackDissonance below.
118	* TheStinger: Each episode features one.
119	** Episode one has Robotnik apologizing to Knuckles for not being able to get him a scene in the episode, ending with Knuckles being removed from the script entirely which deletes him from reality. His understudy, Chris Thorndyke, replaces him. Poorly.
120	** Episode two gives us a look at Old Man Owl's party just as the tubs of industrial mayonnaise arrive.
121	** Episode three gives us a preview of the fourth episode, parodying the next-time teasers from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (complete with a promise of plenty more fanservice).
122	** Episode four dooms humanity by ending with [[spoiler: Owl floating through space, talking about moving on to his next job. It's Earth.]]
123	* SurferDude: Knuckles, or at least the persona he puts on to impress Tails.
124	* SurroundedByIdiots: Poor Tails.
125	* TakeThat: Quite a few throughout.
126	** The first gag of the series is one directed at Lainie Fraiser, voice of Tails in the original OVA; Tails' first line, audio and all, is taken wholesale from the source material. He then coughs violently and switches to his actual voice, apologizing and explaining he has a cold.
127	** Later on, Sonic quotes another line verbatim, although this time it's just an impression rather than the original audio:
128	-->'''Sonic:''' Forget about it. You created that stupid contraption in the first place, why should I have to go around cleaning up your messes?
129	** Big's Bass Bonanza is a reference the character's infamously boring gameplay in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure''.
130	** Very notable example in episode three, where Tails makes reference to having "stalked and driven [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom that girl Sticks]] out of town", and how "she just wasn't funny."
131	** Robotnik makes a crack about the city being cleared faster than the audience at Creator/DaneCook special.
132	** Episode four implies that ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' has no effort put into it.
133	* TechnoBabble: Featured during nearly every InfoDump, most notably with Tails invoking the nonexistent "Erlenmeyer paradox" to justify Sonic and Metal's mutual telepathy.
134	* TotallyRadical: Intentionally invoked with Knuckles, to show how obnoxious his "hero" persona is, and with Old Man Owl (who will drop slang from ''completely different time periods'' into the same sentence.)
135	-->'''Knuckles:''' Look at this place! What a radical wreck! It’d be mondo bad mojo if you let some uncool fool hang out here alone.
136	* {{Troperiffic}}: To be expected from an AbridgedSeries.
137	* {{Tsundere}}: Sarah.
138	* ViewersAreGeniuses: The series is filled with references to the Sonic franchise, many of them obscure, purely for the enjoyment of those who get them. None are spelled out for those who don't.
139	* WildTeenParty: Geriatric version. Old Man Owl throws one of these in Sonic's house with his old army buddies.
140	* WorldInTheSky: The Land of the Sky, where our heroes reside.
141	* WrittenSoundEffect: "BAN!", which is [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud accompanied vocally]], occurs when Robotnik's hologram pops. It becomes a RunningGag.
142
143	!!Specific episodes of the series provide examples of:
144
145	* AbnormalAmmo: Metal Robotnik's glue gun, which is placed in a rather unfortunate spot. It gets [[LampshadeHanging pixellated]].
146	* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Sonic's subconscious employs this.
147	-->'''Soncon:''' You, my child, are the dick of dicks. An archdick, if you will. And perhaps this will jog your memory, dickweed.
148	* {{Angrish}}: Tails, moments before Sonic saves him and Old Man Owl from crashing into a mountain:
149	-->'''Tails:''' SON OF A HOLY SHSHHHSHSSSHSHSHSHSSHSABADAAAAH!
150	* BigShutUp: From Sonic, who up to that point been very quiet and reserved.
151	-->'''Sonic:''' Shut your freaking mouth, Tails!
152	* BlackComedy: Robotnik murders his brother Metal Robotnik and fits him into a HumongousMecha.
153	* BloodyHilarious: Sarah violently smashes a lead pipe into Robotnik's skull. Cue HighPressureBlood.
154	* BondOneLiner: Metal Sonic, after thoroughly kicking the crap out of his meaty counterpart.
155	-->'''Metal:''' How do you like them apples [beat] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]?
156	* BrickJoke: The amazingly slow asthmatic turtle badnik shows up again about ten minutes after he launches.
157	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Very few examples, considering it's an abridged series.
158	** Robotnik and Sarah play ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' together.
159	** Tails directly addresses the audience at the end of episode 2.
160	--> '''Tails:''' See y'all next week! Same me time, same me channel!
161	* CallToAdventure: What Robotnik does to Sonic and Tails. Sonic is less than pleased about this.
162	* CatchAFallingStar: Knuckles catches Sarah after she falls from Robotnik's aircraft.
163	* CelebrityEndorsement: Inverted. The first episode opening with Creator/SteveBlum telling us to watch something else.
164	* ChekhovsGun: The [[spoiler: asthmatic turtle badnik, which shatters the glaciers when it blows up]], initiating the GainaxEnding.
165	* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Old Man Owl]] is responsible for the GainaxEnding and [[spoiler: the entire plot]].
166	* ChekhovsSkill: Tails' bodyboard surfing skills, which somehow dissolve the glue sticking his tails together.
167	* CliffHanger: The end credits of episode 1 cut Sonic off in the middle of his speech about how exciting their adventure will be.
168	* CommercialBreakCliffhanger: Parodied in Episode 2, complete with [[ViewersAreGoldfish repeating dialogue]] and a "TV-Y7 FV" rating box when we fade back in. Sonic lampshades this when Metal Robotnik begins firing glue at them from his...ass-cannon.
169	--> '''Sonic:''' You can’t get away with this on a TV-Y7 show!
170	* CueTheRain: After both Sonic and Tails become trapped in Metal Robotnik's ass-glue.
171	* DeconstructedTrope: The final episode deconstructs what TheAbridgedSeries is like when poorly made.
172	* DisregardThatStatement: Tails freaks out and begs for mercy upon Metal Robotnik's return, until the messily-cobbled-back-together robot falls to pieces.
173	-->'''Tails:''' Comment redacted.
174	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: When Old Man Owl's plane explodes, presumably killing everyone, causes the credits to start rolling. Subverted when we almost immediately cut back to the three jumping clear of the explosion, unhurt. This becomes a RunningGag.
175	* DoubleEntendre: Tails' speech about how awesome his rocket board is becomes extemely sexual as it goes on.
176	* DullSurprise: Sonic loses interest in the bizarre geography of the Layer of Darkness incredibly quickly.
177	* EarlyBirdCameo: Knuckles shows up in the episode 1 stinger. He's properly introduced in episode 2.
178	* FighterLaunchingSequence: The Tornado runaway launch in the first episode is overly dramatic, especially with the catapult emitting [[KungFoley ridiculously over-the-top]] [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion anime sound effects]].
179	* FreezeFrameBonus: The series ''loves'' this trope.
180	** Episode 1 features a single frame that reads "I could have edited this frame out but instead I've opted to make it the most disappointing easter egg ever."
181	** Episode 3 features an opening sequence absolutely ''full'' of freeze frame gags, such as Old Man Owl's full name: Senator Oldward Jezebel Owl. Later on, we meet "Melty the Blob", named in a caption over a bizarre animation smear of Tails that lasts for two or three frames.
182	** Episode 4 features a caption over an animation smear of Knuckles that makes his fists look like a rocket ship, and "Melty the Blob 2" over a smear of Tails moments later.
183	* GainaxEnding: A straight example, but it's built around parody of the [[Anime/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.]]
184	* GoKartingWithBowser: Robotnik quickly devolves into playing a multiplayer tournament of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 and Sonic Eraser with his hostages once he gets bored.
185	* HighPressureBlood: Robotnik, after being smashed over the head with a crowbar.
186	* InfoDump: Robotnik's exposition speech in episode 1, and Tails' from episode 3.
187	* LaughTrack: Played for [[IncrediblyLamePun laughs]] in Episode 2.
188	* LampshadeHanging: Sonic indirectly taunts the audience at the end of the first episode.
189	-->'''Sonic:''' Boy Tails, this adventure sounds so exciting I’d kill myself if there was any kind of delay-- [cue credits]
190	* MindScrew: The episode 4 ending. See GainaxEnding.
191	* NoodleIncident: Several:
192	** Robotnik once took a false HeelFaceTurn and built a chocolate factory as part of an evil scheme.
193	** Tails apparently used to have three tails, but lost one to a lightning strike.
194	** Tails drove [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom Sticks the Badger]] out of town for [[TakeThat not being funny]].
195	* OmnicidalManiac: Referenced. Sonic tells Old Man Owl to stop driving before he commits "vehicular omnicide". Doubles as a case of [[spoiler: Foreshadowing.]]
196	* OverlyLongGag: Metal Robotnik's gun doesn't need to charge up until he aims it directly at a trapped Sonic, in which case it begins charging for FIFTEEN SECONDS before Knuckles shows up to save the day.
197	* PacManFever: Sarah and Robotnik only play 16-bit era games.
198	* Pixellation: Played for laughs to obscure the glue cannon on Metal Robotnik's backside.
199	* ProductPlacement: Parodied with Tails' rocket board, which features a prominent Mountain Dew logo. But it only appears [[LampshadeHanging after he mentions it's there]].
200	* ReallyGetsAround: Old Man Owl claims to have been this in his younger days.
201	-->'''Old Man Owl:''' ...back in my day I was quite the pilot, and pretty popular with my best friend's wife if you get my drift.
202	* RetGone: In TheStinger for the first episode, Knuckles is deleted from the script for complaining that he didn't appear in the episode. He visually glitches and distorts before bursting into flames and vanishing into a bright light.
203	* TheReveal: When Metal Sonic appears, and later when [[spoiler: Old Man Owl is revealed to have been the mastermind behind everything.]]
204	* RidingTheBomb: Sonic manages to pull this off with one of Metal Robotnik's missiles. Considering the missiles had already exploded, it's kind of baffling. This is lampshaded.
205	--> '''Sonic:''' I have no idea how this haaaaappeeeened!
206	* RousingSpeech: 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.]]
207	* SpeakInUnison: Tails and Knuckles try to do this. They fail.
208	* SplitScreen: In the ''Series/TwentyFour'' parody opening.
209	* SubvertedCatchphrase: Tails' frequent cries of "Ow, my face!" get this in episode 4.
210	--> '''Sonic:''' Ow, the back of my face!
211	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Old Man Owl totally promises he won't invite all his old army buddies over for the swellest, raddest party of all time while you're away. Oh my, no.
212	* TakeMyHand: Sonic to Metal. He rejects it.
213	* UnexplainedRecovery: In episode 3, Metal Robotnik fires some bombs at Sonic, and he presumably dies. In episode 2, Sonic comes back riding one of the bombs Metal Robotnik fired after they ''already blew up''. Sonic states he has [[LampshadeHanging no idea how that happened]].
214	* WorldWreckingWave: [[spoiler: After the initial explosion is set of by Asthmatic Turtle Bot, this occurs due to the nuclear reactor, probably.]]
215	----
216	''BAN!''
