Sonic lets movie star Tommy Thunder observe his "hero process", but things get out of hand when Tommy claims credit for the gang's victories.
Tropes
- Epic Fail: According to Eggman:"I ordered a BAKER's dozen! That's supposed to be thirteen rugalas, not twelve."
- Here We Go Again!: Y'all know that this episode is a season opener, right?
- Hypocritical Humor: Sonic is reluctant to allow Tommy Thunder to shadow him, due to his being an egomaniac.Sonic: And there's no room for ego on Team Sonic!
(Sticks clears her throat pointedly as she and the others glare at Sonic)
Sonic: ...and friends! I was gonna include you guys! ...albeit, not individually. - Kids' Meal Toy: An In-Universe example; Meh Burger has a Meh Meal tie-in with Tommy Thunder's latest movie.
- My Little Panzer: Dave the Intern advertises Meh Burger's Meh Meal toys as being "guaranteed to have 12% fewer jagged edges". He then cuts his fingers on what appears to be a metal Nerf football with Tommy Thunder's face on it.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Tommy drops the Third-Person Person act when Eggman targets him and he begs Sonic to help.
- Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Tommy Thunder says "Knock knock," when visiting Sonic, remarking that he has to do that because the house doesn't have a door. Likewise, Sonic says "Slam," in a bored voice when turning him away.
- Shout-Out:
- The catchy background music that plays during Sonic's battle with Eggman sounds similar to the opening theme of another Sonic cartoon.
- Bill Freiberger, however, has stated that the song was not taken from said show; rather, it was an original piece of music made by this show's composer, Michael Richard Plowman.
