Sonic Shorts: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Currently, seven "volumes" and a [[Spin-Off]] have been released; it was originally planned to end with the sixth volume, but the creators have so many unused ideas left over that they've recently completed a seventh installment. However, many collaborations were not finished, and so the seventh is entirely animated by thewax70. An eighth will follow once the other animations are finished. Many members of the team have since contributed to ''[[Sonic F]]'' as well.

The first volume can be found [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/427405 here], the sixth [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/550203 here], and [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSonicParadoxTeam The Sonic Paradox Team has uploaded the entire series to YouTube]. Individual shorts can also be found on their respective creator's YouTube channels.

----

* [[Actor Allusion]]: One short has Robotnik mournfully flying through his dystopia belting out "Let the Heartaches Begin" by Long John Baldry, his voice actor from ''[[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.

G.I. JOEEEEEEEEE! }}

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]

'''Amy''': ...You did.(Holds up a bottle of chloroform) }}

* [[Brain Bleach]]: A common subject of shorts featuring Eggman.

* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: The subject of a short featuring the forgotten Sega characters Mighty the Armadillo, Ray the Flying Squirrel, and Bean the Dynamite... who even Mighty and Ray could not remember. [Bark was left out entirely.]

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Volume 5 is full of these to previous shorts.

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: Sonic: *Sees instruction for [[Guide Dang It|barrel]]* "Up and Down? ''Up and down?!?'' What the fu-" *cue [[Timed Mission|Time Over]]*

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Eggman's latest ultimate weapon? A shot of him posing in briefs set to Right Said Fred's ''Wonderman''.

* [[Grave Humor]]: Knuckles's tombstone in the Omochao short.

He dedicated his life to the protection of a precious stone. Bit of a crap life, really. }}

** As well, other tombstones say "[[Take That|R.I.P. Sonic's dignity]]" and "[[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|Mighty]]".

* [[Gilligan Cut]]:

'''Knuckles:''' *angry growl* }}

** Another one in volume four:

'''Knuckles:''' You really shouldn't be giving him ideas. }}

* [[Groin Attack]]: Sonic defeats Metal Sonic with this.

** Also appearing is Rina-chan, who makes a few appearances following Volume 3, usually as Elise, Amy, Rouge, Bunnie, or Sally. Oddly enough, these are usually in Flash Twister's shorts.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' Robotnik calls ''[[Sonic X]]'' Eggman and demands that he take his plans more seriously, then after the call, tells Scratch and Grounder to be careful with the parts for his bouncing raccoon cannon.

'''[[The Ditz|Grounder]]''': This plan makes ''so'' much sense! }}

* [[I Am the Trope]]: "I AM SEGA!"

* [[Left the Background Music On]]: The intro to the Newgrounds version of ''Sonic Shorts 6''.

* [[Mistaken Identity]]: [[Game Buddy]] has changed his user logo and animation style so many times it's difficult to determine which shorts he has actually created.

** A very, very ''[[Nightmare Fuel|disturbing]]'' dance segment. Eggman's the one doing the dancing. Admittedly, he's not half bad for a fat guy.

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Eggman's secret underwater volcano laboratory... [[Tropes in Space|IN SPACE!]]

* [[Running Gag]]: Throughout Volume 2, Big the Cat's attempts to catch Froggy. Eventually, in Volume 3, Froggy announces he is fed up with being chased and leaves. Big, heartbroken, hangs himself.

* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Go ahead, click the dumb looking Sonic with the bird on his head in Volume 2. We ''DARE'' you to.

* [[Ship Tease]]: Plenty of [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Sonamy]] moments exist in the shorts, and Sonadow is frequently hinted at (and, in one instance, Sonic and Shadow stumble across it... much to their mutual displeasure.) One skit even has a [[Die for Our Ship]] moment with Shadow hitting the wall as Sonic and Amy embrace.

* [[Smoking Hot Sex]]: ([[Spot the Impostor|Robot]]) Sally in Volume 6. There was nothing funny about that kiss at all, Tails!

* [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]]: Episode 6's opening. Eggman's robots are also often seen providing the BGM when the scene is in one of his bases.

* [[Stylistic Suck]]: ''Knuckles Briefs'', a [[Spin-Off]] of ''Sonic Shorts'', most prominently Big the Cat's brief. Justified by the creators, in that they had to put it together quickly for Summer of Sonic '09.

** ''Sonic Shits'' also falls under this category.

** Sonic screaming "[[Chibi Vampire|Oh my God!]] [[Big No|Noooooo!!!]]" while holding a game box for the 2006 ''Sonic The Hedgehog'' game.

** The entire "How to make your own Sonic Fan character" bit in Volume 6. And it is [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Awesome]]

* [[Ted Baxter]]: Knuckles. He made ''Knuckles Briefs'' because he was jealous of all the attention Sonic was getting<ref>paying no attention to the fact that, as Sonic himself said, a lot of the shorts depicted the blue hedgehog crashing into things and getting hurt</ref>, and he wanted to show how awesome he was. However, most of the other characters merely made fun of him or made him look ridiculous.

** Set to music from [[Mega Man X 5]]'s [[Tear Jerker|ending]]. And it is glorious.
