Who's gonna rock the p–sorry, wrong universe.
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.
