Line 2:
''Sonic Shorts'' is a [[Newgrounds]] Flash collaboration by The Sonic Paradox Team [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|set in the]] ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' universe. As expected, the shorts parody various aspects and scenarios of the games and [[The Anime of the Game|TV shows]], but many of them contain plenty of meta-humor involving the characters' reactions to their own in-universe works.
 
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.
Line 39:
'''Knuckles:''' You really shouldn't be giving him ideas. }}
* [[Groin Attack]]: Sonic defeats Metal Sonic with this.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Voice actor [[Game Buddy]] has appeared in every volume. A few of his credits include Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Eggman, Mighty, Bean, Big, Tails Doll, The Penguinator, Heavy, and Doctor Mario. Needless to say, this often leads to [[Talking to Himself]].
** Along with [[Game Buddy]] is [[The Chio]], also appearing in every episode, providing the voice of Knuckles and Dr. Eggman.
** 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.
Line 65:
* [[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.
* [[Stop Helping Me]]: Relentlessly parodied with the Omochao short.
* [[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.
** Tails's monotone voice in the Sonic Sez section of Volume 2 is clearly a parody of Corey Bringas's Tails voice for the [[Sonic Adventure (Video Game)|Sonic Adventure]] games.
* [[Synchro Vox]]: In "How to Create a Sonic Fan Character", the narrator guy does this when he says "lazy".
* [[Take That]]: Several, but the most prominent one is where ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (TV)|SatAM]]'''s Robotnik, fed up with ''[[Sonic X]]'' Eggman's [[Anti -Villain]] nature, decides to blow up [[Four Kids Entertainment]] as a result. However, he then ends up changing the channel to ''[[Sonic Underground]]''...and Snively immediately starts setting up the coordinates.
** Sonic screaming "[[Chibi Vampire|Oh my God!]] [[Big No|Noooooo!!!]]" while holding a game box for the 2006 ''Sonic The Hedgehog'' game.
** In the the second one, a brief snippet takes a cheap shot at [[Sonic Drift (Video Game)|Sonic Drift]].
** In another, [[Bio Ware]] images of [[Loads and Loads of Characters|newest Sonic character]] [[Sonic Chronicles|Shade the Echidna]] are discovered by a [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Sonic fan]]. His initial reaction?
{{quote| '''Fan''': Oh my god! They've got a new Sonic character! I '''must.''' '''''draw.''''' '''''[[Rule Thirty Four34|PORN OF IT!]]'''''}}
** 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.
* [[Villainous BSOD]]: Metal Sonic, after [[Tomato in The Mirror|realizing he's a robot rather than the actual Sonic.]]
** Set to music from [[Mega Man X 5]]'s [[Tear Jerker|ending]]. And it is glorious.
* [[Walk, Don't Swim]]: Often played with, but most notably demonstrated by Sonic at [[Mario and Sonic At The Olympic Games (Video Game)|the Olympic Games]]. In a follow-up short, Eggman can't swim either.
