"Did you forget to pay your taxes, or something?"
— Vector to Eggman's homeless Badniks, Vector's Knickers
Sonic Shorts is a series that's practically made of funny, as is to be expected of an Affectionate Parody of the greater Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
- The very first short of Volume 2 is Vector interrupting an intimate moment between Sonic and Amy... by telling him to press the Circle Button to slide in order to get through tight spaces.
- In a short of Sonic Says from Sonic Shorts Volume 2; instead of giving the thumbs up to the viewers, he slaps Tails in the face for misspelling "says".
- This particular skit from Shorts Volume 5 where Knuckles sucker punches Sonic while he's trying to eat a chili dog, complete with Act End card and Knuckles striking a victory pose. Cue Sonic in the corner, furious, turning Super with the sound effects of a Super Saiyan aura, followed by Knuckles being sent flying.
- Becomes a Brick Joke later in the same volume when Sonic is losing to Knuckles in a Super Smash Bros. Brawl match, recites his speech to Metal Sonic from the OVA... and gets sucker punched by Knuckles again.
- In Sonic Shorts Volume 6: everyone is shocked at seeing Eggman’s dance.
- Bunnie accidentally buzzing off part of Antoine’s hair.
- Rotor’s eyes bleeding from the sight.
- Sonic’s ice cream falling off.
- From Knuckles Briefs, Knuckles using Sonic like a shaving razor, then throwing him in the trash.
- Sonic literally making Shadow eat his words via Force Feeding.
- Sonic's instant death when he hits City Escape's ground.
- The Project 20 video, in which Cosmo slaps Charmy for hitting on her.
- "Dr. Eggman's Amusement Park", in which Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot advertise their interstellar amusement park while Chris Thorndyke gets into bad situations.
- The Toxomisters being portrayed as stoners.
- "Robotnik Hates 4Kids", in which the Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), furious with his Sonic X incarnation being too soft, orders Snively to launch a massive salvo of missiles at 4Kids Entertainment, who are plotting to make a spinoff starring Chris Thorndyke. After 4Kids is destroyed, Robotnik finds out about Sonic Underground...
- Eggman's recurring (and brain-scarring) dance numbers. Nice watch, nerds!note
- Every single instance of Eggman's Fan Disservice manages to be this if only for the characters' reactions.
- This skit in the eighth volume makes this even funnier with the rather hilarious face Sonic makes as he cringes at the video of Eggman dancing on his wrist communicator. When Tails takes a look for himself, he cringes as well, even making a similar face to Sonic.
