Oddshow is a series of sprite animations by DoujinPixation
on YouTube that showcases characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros. series engaging in wacky (and frequently painful) hijinks throughout numerous skits and scenes. There's no plot to speak of and No Continuity — the whole thing is just a madcap exercise in watching characters goofing around and getting hurt.
Oddshow contains examples of:
- Butt-Monkey: Everyone, but there are a few standout examples.
- Mario and Sonic make frequent cameo appearances in each other's Oddshows, and most of those cameos end with the foreign character meeting grievous misfortune.
- Charmy is immediately thrown out of Final Fall in Sonic Oddshow 2note , and while he's actually allowed to participate in Final Chaos in Sonic Oddshow K, he gets squished and KO'd within the first few seconds of the chase.
- Diabolus ex Machina: How many skits appear to end with one or more characters emerging from the chaos unscathed, only to get abruptly smacked down by a straggling hazard? Way too many to count.
- Comedic Sociopathy: Again, everyone, but Shadow is especially prone to smacking around the other characters for absolutely no reason (and usually getting away with it).
- Enraged by Idiocy: This crops up in a few skits — sometimes as what sets off the catastrophe, other times as the punchline.
- Sadist Show: The whole premise is the cast of the Sonic and Mario series getting caught up in wacky situations that more often than not end with them getting pulverized.
