Recap / Sonic Boom S 1 E 10 Dude Wheres My Eggman

Orbot and Cubot wake up to find that they can't remember what happened the previous day and their boss is missing, prompting the two robots to set out to find Dr. Eggman.

Tropes featured in this episode:

• A Day in the Limelight: For Orbot and Cubot, Dr. Eggman's loyal but usually accident-prone robot henchmen.
• Doomed Supermarket Display: Subverted; Dr. Eggman tries to return a burnt umbrella, but the store's owner refuses to give him a refund. Outraged, Eggman kicks the bottom two cans of a pyramid... and the rest of the cans completely stay stacked, much to his surprise.
• Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: This episode's title is a reference to the 2000 comedy film, Dude, Where's My Car?.
• Shout-Out: When Orbot and Cubot ask Sonic and Knuckles if they had battled Eggman yesterday, Knuckles starts telling an obviously fabricated story meant to make him look like the big hero who defeated him, complete with him being able to fly and ''shoot beams out of his hands'', not to mention Sonic looking weak and cowardly in comparison to him, Tails telling him that he's been made governor, and the girls fawning over him. It must be seen to be believed.
  Sonic: I wanna be just like you when I grow up!
  • In a meta example, one of the writers for the episode tweeted that this made Knuckles' (now sadly patched) infinite jumping in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric canon. A fan then made a video to go along with this.
    • Later on, Eggman angrily tries to knock over a stacked group of milk cans, kicking away a couple at the bottom, but much to Eggman and the shop owner's surprise, the stack of cans defies physics and manages to stand up normally despite having no support - which is also a glitch in Rise of Lyric.
• Zany Scheme: Orbot and Cubot's first attempt to raise money to bail Eggman out of jail? Becoming street performers who sing "Daisy Bell".
