Insert Sonic Quote That Became an Outdated Meme Here

I Occasionally Sunk.

Sunky.MPEG is a Lighter and Softer Affectionate Parody of Sonic.exe created by LooneyDude, and focuses on Sunky.MPEG dancing with his friends.

A sequel exists, known as Silly.TIFF, which is a Lighter and Softer Affectionate Parody of Sally.exe. A second sequel was also released, known simply as Sunky: The Game (released in three separate parts) which parodies classic Sonic the Hedgehog instead of creepypastas. Sunky: The Game 2, which consists of the first level of Super Mario Bros. 2 with Sunky as the only playable character, also exists as an April's Fools.

LooneyDude made a Sunky webcomic in 2016. It was uploaded on his twitter and ran for 50 issues. Sunky also appears in the Friday Night Funkin' mod Vs Sonic.exe as an Optional Boss.


Tropes present in both versions of Sunky

  • Animation Bump: When compared to Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic.exe, the animation and artwork is drastically better. However, that makes sense in Sonic.exe's case, as it was meant to take the form of a 16-bit ROM Hack of Sonic 1.
  • Adaptational Name Change: Exaggerated. Nearly every character has their names twisted into something sillier. For example, Sonic is Sunky, Tails is Tlels, and Knuckles is Knicknacks.
  • All There in the Manual: The fact that Sunky's friends and Sonic's are not named the same is only hinted at but never mentioned in the games, just in the webcomics and the written version of Sunky.MPEG "that time forgot".
  • Dull Surprise: Sunky's (and Sunky.mpeg's) trademark expression is a simple dull-faced stare, that he only changes when he sees Silly about to be crushed.
  • Funetik Aksent: Presumably, this is what causes text like "Gottsa go fest" to pop up.
  • Good Is Dumb: Sunky has trouble with spelling simple words, but is still completely friendly.
  • Odd Name Out: Robotnik, by virtue of being the same as his original counterpart rather than an absurd distortion.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Sunky.mpeg realizes Silly is about to get squished by the shrinking level in SILLY.TIFF, gaining a sweatdrop and quickly digging around for the device to save Silly.
    • In Sunky: The Game Part 3, Robotnik soon realizes that Super Sunky's invincibility turned his supposedly climactic battle into a Cutscene Boss.

Tropes present in the sillypasta

  • Bait-and-Switch: In the equivalent of Sally's stage in SILLY.TIFF, Silly is in the same burning hellscape Sally was, with the walls and celling slowly closing in on her as dramatic music plays... cue Sunky popping up in the foreground, sees Silly is about to be crushed, and pulling back the walls and ceiling to save her.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Unlike his non-Stylistic Suck counterpart, MPEG just wants to dance with his pals, and in the sequel, have breakfast with them. At one point he even shows genuine concern for Silly in SILLY.TIFF, the complete opposite to his counterpart.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Inverted. Sunky.MPEG is genuinely a Nice Guy.
  • Lightmare Fuel: An omnipresent red-eyed entity wearing the guise of a popular video game character... that just wants to feed and throw a nice party for his friends.
  • Non-Indicative Name: The split-second change of the title screen refers to Sunky.MPEG as "Sunky The Evil". The game itself shows that Sunky is anything but evil, being a good guy that just wants to have a nice time with his friends.
  • Shout-Out:
    • In Sunky.MPEG, going left as Knicknacks makes Hella Jeff appear.
    • In Silly.TIFF, going left as Cream (in both the regular and Sunky stages) makes Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff appear.
    • Selecting one of the characters in the first game causes SpongeBob's laugh to play, instead of the Kefka laugh from the original.
    • The ending picture of Silly.TIFF is a picture of the pope with Kevin's head pasted on.

Tropes present in "classic" Sunky games

  • The End... Or Is It?: Subverted at the end of Sunky: The Game. The credits end with a big splash card reading "Sunky The Game: The End", which gets a question mark added after a few seconds... and then knocked off by a shooting star.
  • Mondegreen Gag: Level the Green One has misheard lyrics of "You Can Do Anything", the Japanese and European theme song of Sonic the Hedgehog CD, shown at the bottom.
    Never play Sonic Boom!
