SONIC SHORTS 9: th-cam.com/video/FLoi6HYcwr8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_SMZdCHLMibcFRUf
just watched the premiere. congrats to you and the vas on being apart of the sonic shorts comeback!
Your short was my favorite one on sonic shorts 9
Saw it and honestly thought it was meh, most the short's jokes fell flat and seemed like they were playing it too safe. It felt watered down compared to previous volumes.
i learnt what virginity was from a sonic animation when i was like 6 because i watched that specific short and asked my mother if virginity was like a drink or something
when i was a kid i thought being a virgin meant you'd never drank alcohol before... same brain waves i guess. To be fair they do call non-alcoholic cocktails "virgin" so
@@gemwolfz2860 Hopefully that was what the mom answered
Once asked my Dad, in public surrounded by people, what orgy meant because I heard it in a Minecraft video. He just told me to shut up lol.
Once i asked my mom what "rape" means because Minecraft animations and TH-camrs💀
I cant remember what she say to me, but the things she was saying was unrelated to rape means
And that’s how we knew how it will stay with us forever
You need to understand that as an 11-12 year old who liked Sonic and Dragon Ball Z, Nazo Unleashed was the coolest shit I'd ever seen
What about super Mario Bros Z
True

Same, got into both around the same time, made 8 year old me extremely happy 😭
Wanna hear a sad story? Ben Hurst, head writer of Sonic Saturn, wanted to make a movie that would marked the end of the series, and told Ken Penders, but he told SEGA that Hurst wanted to take control of the franchise, causing Hurst to be fired. And to make things worse, after Ben Hurst's passing, Penders called him a sad fool for thinking that SEGA would give him permission to make a movie
Then also Ken Penders thought he could make a movie. HE was the sad fool all along
@@coyotixif you can't even draw Sonic and gang right, then you shouldn't make a movie
@@coyotixalso Ken Penders's work feels like something from Wattpad or a Deviantart fan cómic, not an official product. Penders is the original fanfic creator
@@juliangandara9552 Mhm, his short pitch video for his "movie" was somehow even worse animated than some of the early Newgrounds shit
@@coyotixOne more thing, Penders wanted to write a story in which Sally loses her virginity with a character named Geoffrey. A sex story in a kids cómic book

Both traumatizing generations and fans since the 2010’s

And both of their fandoms being stereotyped as being utterly insane
@@Krusty_bot63 There are good people within the fandoms. You just have to look for ‘em.
I was into both of them back in the early 2010s lol
What about all those weird Pokemon animations
"Much more tame nowadays", you sure about that bud?
It's wild how these all have so much heart in them, yet half the time they're also "Guess who lost their virginity? YOU DID!"
I used to think virginity was a poison 😭
@@redchan_ebooksWhat’s next you’re gonna telling me you thought marriage was a food?
I remember watching that short as a kid and honest to god thought that she put his virginity in the bottle and I didn't know what virginity was either

I usually kept to the SFW side of the Sonic Fandom.
I grew up on ‘Ask the Sonic Heroes’ (and still watch the videos) and I like ‘Sonic Villains Fan Film’.
Same
Omg yes!
I grew up on both sides. I enjoyed watching Sonicsong182's videos and fandubs of the Archie comics, while also stumbling upon the darker side of the fandom and seeing the more crude animations that would end up scarring me for the rest of my childhood.😞
Still waiting for Sonic Villains to come out. It looks great.
I hope to god we get a complete BRAWL between Sonic and Super Scourge, if that does show up.
I was on both sides tbh i love sonicsong182
My first encounter of vore was from dubbed(?) Sonic comic videos on yt. I was like 7 and didnt even learn what vore rlly was till later 😭
Bro i learned about it through MLP fanart on deviantart when i was like, 8
oh god, kphoria
this was a very common experience. not good
I had the same experience 💀
But it was animated
Blame unrestricted internet access
@@KKHell YES! This should NOT have been a common childhood experience 😭
Sonic vs Mlp trauma contest, who winning?
definitely mlp ‘-‘😔
Mlp is because pony.mov exists

Sonic the Hedgehog. One of the greatest and most attractive characters ever thought up. He can run at sound speed, take out enemies in a flash, and best of all, he's blue colored and knows how to handle the females. Speaking of females, the Sonic universe might also be classified as "Hot Chick Heaven" because there's such a mess of very beautiful and tough women that it will make you love the franchise even more! And since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I've been inspired to make a top 10 list of the most beautiful female Sonic characters. Grab yourself a snack and a glass of orange juice, and try not to reach through the screen because HERE WE GO!

Yeah I get the reference it’s Guptill89

That’s the top 10 video
The thumbnail already brings back memories…
The fat jiggles & skin folds still haunt me.
shunks, u are literally my favorite creator ever, we had basically the same childhood with what we watched and I connect to you so much, you bring me so much comfort thank you for being silly
My neurodivergent self loves repetition so the sonic zombie saga was perfect for me!
Same here!
Me too as autism
I saw Nazo in the thumbnail and immediately had the nostalgia wave of the century, lol. Jee, I haven't thought of that in a while, but I remember being hype for it as a kid!
I learned everything from Sonic Zombies stereotypes, Boobs, the disturbing Fandom, and HOOBA DOOBA!
This video makes for a fairly good companion piece to wallaceprower's recent (as in a couple hours difference) interview with the Sonic Paradox team members! Said interview covers their general history and rise to prominence, while this video observes the works released by fans since said team's formation, regardless of association.
Also, perhaps I heard wrong, but congrats Shunks on being able to contribute to S.Shorts Vol. 9! I sincerely can't believe it's been so long since the last volume was released, and I'm excited to see what's in store.
BABE WAKE UP SHUNKS VIDEO JUST DROPPED
i remember i was so hyperfixated on dorkly's sonic for hire, to the point where during the tails mob boss arc i had a dream where i was yoshi and i had a meeting with tails, and for some reason he started yelling at me for getting something wrong and then broke down crying. idk why thats a core memory for me, but it is :P
Man I still remember all of the early 2010s sonic animations and artworks, what a crazy time period that was, not just for the Sonic fandom but many fandoms in general at the time tbh like Mario, MLP, Minecraft and so much more
First off, I wish I had a massive playlist with everything you just mentioned in order, just for my convenience.
Second, I was very much entertained by everything. I watched Sonic Zombies recently while binging all of Balena Productions. I never saw it as a kid but I found it incredibly funny even now. It’s a time capsule of the era and I’m sad that some scenes and jokes were cut for modern audiences.
I’m glad you made this video and it was a wonderful way to celebrate Sonic’s 33rd Birthday. This dating my comment, lol. Hello Future people if you see this!
Pretty niche, but the one short that got me so much as a kid was the "How to make your own Sonic fan character" short. That had me googling for "Sonic pix", expecting some easy Sonic picture editing program to show up (I didn't know how to copy + paste images back then soo).
Then I took up drawing, made about 14 recolors (four of them being recolors of Ray the flying squirrel). Most of my imagination would be dedicated to story/animation ideas of them until like, 2015 xD
Well it was that one, or the Tails Doll credits but eh
And this is how I accidently discovered project love potion
I cant believe you just made me remember that 😢
At least Zeta is doing other things atm
I've noticed that more recent fan projects from fandoms like Sonic or MLP are kind of the opposite of these early animations in a way. Mashed's more recent Sonic animations, for example, are more accurate to the canon games in terms of tone and characterizations than most of these earlier animations that generally relied on shock/meta humor or the fandom's charcaterizations. MLP feels the same, with even the recent infection au trend feeling less like horror for the sake of shock, if that makes sense? Of course the fan projects then and now are full of creativity and talent from the people behind them, but I feel the culture then and now has changed drastically because the current fans grew up with the "edgier" content and are now making content that tend to be more lighthearted or at least stay truer to the source material despite the darker tone (in the case of the infection au versus something like Cupcakes lol) compared to back then. There's nothing inherently right or wrong with either, but I do find it an interesting contrast.
Sonic Shorts is what actually got me into discovering the franchise as a whole
Fun little fact about Sonic Paradox. The guys who did quite a few of those animations would go on to make their own fancomics. One being a retelling of Sonic's adventure from the beginning with OC Tempest the Dolphin as a main character for the first five issues. They currently are working their way through the Sonic 3 & Knuckles arc, with Cassia from Archie Sonic's reboot being a hero instead of a reluctant villain. Their other comic is a 'What-If' future in which Sonic had vanished one fateful day, leave the rest of the cast to age, some even getting married, and live out their lives in seeming peace... until a strange new hedgehog appears who looks an awful lot like Sonic.
The first fancomic is called Sonic Legacy. I would recommend it, though much like any freelance fancomic, it is going to be taking its time with its story.
and you can't imagine how excited I was once you mentioned olgilvie, I love this guy
without taking style into account, the animation itself is sooo well done
I remember being one of the kids with unrestricted internet access who didn't get any of the sex jokes. First time I've seen someone talk about animations I saw as a kid other than Brawl Taunts.
BIG GAY DANCE
Fun little fact: A friend of mine made a little re-cut and re-dub of the Nazo cartoon of the DX cut, and I got to make the logo for that video.
Three of the Sonic Paradox shorts I remember VIVIDLY were both REALLY early internet in multiple ways.
-A parody of the Sally robot episode, specifically the "funny kiss" scene. It was strangely well animated.
-Tails doll credits scene that scared the shit out of me.
-How to make a Sonic OC, featuring Trevor-I mean Jesus.
Oh, you mean the one where you had to click on the Doll to make him continue the monologue? I remember begging my brother to stop clicking from across the room…
@@lrgogo1517 That one scared the shit out of me the first time. Especially since it was with the creepiest style.
I used to avoid sonic shorts as a kid cause I couldn't remember which one had the tails doll credits scene in it and it scared me so bad
I grew up on this stuff and I have no regrets. One sonic animation that I used to watch that wasn’t listed was Sonic Halloween costume. I won’t spoil anything. All in all, I am happy I watched these animations as a kid.
The Paint It Black animation is still one of my favorite pieces of Sonic fan media to this day. I'm so glad you mentioned it!
Sonic Zombie Origins just straight up a nostalgia trip for me lol
the sonic gmod stuff is reminding me of shadow579 in a weird way ahah, they werent usually animated but were silly little gmod stuff that i find super nostalgic
shadow759 was one of my first interactions with sonic fan content lol
@@StarsandBarsRecords same here! i mustve been 10-11 watching their old stuff
Ah yes, all of those old Sonic animations on New Grounds. To me I would just burst out laughing since I stumbled upon them around when I was 15 losing it to some of the more unhinged ones like the Sonic Glitched series or Sonic and the McChicken. ( grade A shitpost back then. )
That one animation where sonic keeps waking up to increasingly worrying characters sharing a bed with him saying "what a nightmare" was literally my favorite thing ever when I was 11 years old.
I learned what gay people were from a sonic animation
god i'm so fucking tired of the "guys, seeing something somewhat unsettling online at a young age LITERALLY TRAUMATIZED ME guys" joke.
True, trauma is treated like a buzzword thrown into every slightly uncomfortable/unusual situations.
As a traumatized individual who suffered from every kind of domestic abuse, I have every right to "gatekeep" this term as people overused it to the point it lost its serious meaning.
The use of the word trauma has expanded in recent years, probably due to hyperbole
@@CollegeKid666nuh uh
For real, it come across as some hyper ironic hipster who is super entitled trying to make them selves sound unique and special, when they only come across as weak minded and pathetic.
Yes and no. There are different traumas, all weighing differently. Sure seeing some overly shrexual jokes or gore as a kid isn't the same as abuse, but it can be traumatising either way.
I'm a bit too old to remember most of the early 2010s stuff in this video, but the flash animations really had a hold on me and probably traumatized me in some way
I saw vore for the first time through old sonic animations when I was super young
I thank all the old Sonic fan animations and their animators for teaching me English language better than my Elementary school did. You have done well, fellas.
2:27 No. The joke wasn't that Sonic X was bad or Sonic fans didn't like it. It was that 4kids completely censored it, altered and deleted scenes rather unnecessarily, cut down episode runtimes, and neutered the original version of the show, along other foreign properties that the company heavily altered; Magical DoReMe, Mew Mew Power, Shaman King, Winx Club, and don't get us started with the infamous story of their One Piece dub or their version of Dragon Ball Kai. Characters were saying lines the game counterparts would never say or just had their motives changed, they changed plotlines of some episodes entirely, greatly downplayed elements of the show like Amy's love for Sonic by making it one sided and Chris's trauma and abandonment issues were handled poorly in the dub (which led to most Sonic fans unfairly judging him harshly), and removed the real OST of the show completely for the same OST they used in all their other shows on their block.
I think it’s neat that I found you for your mlp videos and that the more I watched the more I aquatinted you as a “lore master” of the fandom. And then I’m whiplashed by a surprise animation of yours during sonic shorts VL9.
Awesome.
These fan animations are core memories for me, and I wouldn't have it any other way
Traumatised? Hardly, those where fun as hell xD
The new generation is soft.
@@lebest3062 Compared to other fandoms in newsgrounds, the Sonic stuff was actually pretty tame in comparison hell I still miss that era of the community xD.
@@mysteryman9488 THERE'S WORSE!?!?
Facts, I grew up with these and for me this was Sonic.
The only thing that traumatizes Sonic fans is Forces...
OH GOD
well not for me, for i already have my mind destroyed by the worst fanfiction ever made which involes sonic, one that the game grumps already covered.....
Sonic Ultimate Harem
Balenaproductions are the goat of Sonic Fan shows. Being in 4-5 grade watching Sonic Zombie, it was so dumb, but it was so good 😭. Though a lot of the stuff from the original was cut out cause of either copyright or because the jokes were over the line, like there was a joke in the space episode where Eggman was like, 'WHERE ARE MY HORNHOGS?!' And a Silver clone was like 'the hornhogs are busy graping each other' to which it would show the hornhogs humping eachother. If you watch the show now, you can't find the jokes, but if you watch old reaction videos, you can still find them. And another, which now I understand why he got rid of this joke, but the ship episode has a joke where Knuckles has a thing for Espio and he wants to sit on his horn, and later they actually agree to do the dirty and this joke is no longer in the video, but Espio tells Knuckles to let his dress up for him, and when he tells Knuckles he's ready, you see Espio with two watermelons as boobs and a KFC bucket around his crotch, I didn't get it at the time but that was a black stereotype joke cause Knuckles was given an Eddie Murphy voice and was referred to as black in some parts of the show.
Sonic fan made stuff is weird but fun
holy shit the Sonic Paradox Shorts...i loved watching those animations when i was a kid
I’m pretty sure Faulerro voiced Knuckles a lot in sonic shorts. He’s also the voice of Yamcha in DBZA :D
I almost forgot some of these animations.... kinda wish it stayed away from my brain ngl lol
Yeah Sonic for Hire mentioned! I rewatched it mostly for Earthworm Jim and the little Psycrow cameo but I forgot how much of fun watch it really was !
25:04 the one who animated the secret history of Sonic and Tails is named Zeurel, he's a talented animator who currently has an indie animated show on TH-cam, made other projects with Mashed and collaborates with youtuber/streamer Lythero
When I was WAY younger, maybe 10 or 11, I remember stumbling across this web series called "Sonic GX" At least, im pretty sure thats the name. It was kind of a sequel series to the SATAM show as well as Sonic X cuz it brought the freedom fighters into the Sonic X continuity. It was animated via pixel art, in the same vain as Super Mario Bros X. I remember being super invested as a kid and super pissed cuz it all ended with a cliff hanger. I haven't even THOUGHT about this series until now, this video unlocked a memory.
Nazo Unleashed was PEAK as a kid. Also you remember the SSS Show with those Sonic sprites. (Specifically Leon the Snowwolf, & 12gameschamp21)
Sonic Shorts and others from 2010 - 2014 are nostalgic.
Most of these animation channels marked my childhood! Thanks to them I'm becoming an animator too!
I used to watch the shit out of the Newgrounds Sonic animation comps as a kid... on TH-cam. Yeah people would upload these to TH-cam, and not with the permission of the original animators; I remember there being a Sonic Sez style PSA in one of them where they basically told people "Hey, stop uploading our shit to youtube without our permission you fuckheads."
also I swear that Evil Tails was animated by Zeurel, and if it isn't then it looks almost identical to the way he animates characters with manic as all hell expressions.
Does anyone else remember that one animation where Sonic is... Huh... "Squeezing the hog", and Tails accidentally sees him?
Yeah...
If you like videos made in Gary's Mod, then you'll love SMG4. Believe me, the joke are hilarious and, there is ARC's that lead up to a movie.
25:18
Clarification: Obviously “Dark Tails” is Secret History Tails. And yes, Something about Knuckles is related to the Something About Amy/Secret History lore.
sonic uncut was my entire childhood 😭 i remember watching it around 2009 and i would go to school and infodump to my friends about it
I once read all of Tails gets Trolled, and I honestly think I have become a worse human being since.
*better
TGT is unironically good
@@ZacharyMurray-xe8nu at first it's a Shakespearean masterpiece, but it gets vile by the end
i've thought for a while that "i wasn't really that into sonic as a kid" but this just unearthed a vault of buried memories
All of these bring back memories of going to my friend’s house after school getting on the computer together and watching all these videos. The nostalgia is real.
When you mentioned Tails and Friends it unlocked some core memories I thought I never had. I can't unhear that version of Silver or Rougue now
From my early days of watching Sonic fan animated stuff I don't think I saw anything that scared me to my core well maybe besides grim dark Sonic stuff maybe?
But for the most part it was Nazo, tons of Sonic sprite animations with jokes that went way over my head and also ask the Sonic heroes as well. Along with Sonic plush videos as well.
Also Back2s0uls is probably one of my favourite animators from that era that made the everyone loves Shadow. There actually working in the animation industry now, which is awesome.
5:59. I have the exact same experience. Years later still love the song.
sonic breaks his neck was definitely that one fan made Sonic video that made me uncomfortable back then
thanks for giving me sonic paradox flashbacks shunks, love that for me
Dude i you just found a video ive been looking for for years i remember seeing my cousin watch shadow hates colors and never finish the video and i was looking for that for years thank you lol
ive been trying to find that shadow swirly video forever, legit thought it was a fever dream, you should also mention the sonic flipnotes and sonic.exe videos from the early 2010s and older
Nazo, Sonic Shorts, Paint it Black were all part of my childhood, there was also this SonAmy sprite animation set to Everytime We Touch which is SUCH peak 2000’s vibes, and Sonic Uncut in particular i remember finding through a Sonic video podcast! i’m pretty sure it was The Sonic Show? but when i investigated their youtube channel i saw them talk about how they lost a lot of older content which is a bummer 😫
you're videos have been getting better woah! good job!
If kphoria isn't mentioned here the title isn't accurate (lighthearted)
Exactly
omg i have so much nostalgia for this era of sonic content!! i was definitely too young to be watching a lot of it but that didn’t stop me 🤣 i remember loving the sonic shorts, as well as all of shadow759 (?) and the sonic F dubs!
I remember watching Sonic Paradox, Sonic Zombies & Tails and Friends alot in middle school & early high school.
If mugi mike isn't there I don't believe you
Great Video, I wanted to put my memory of a Sonic Fan Animation. I wouldn't say this is an "Animation" but i guess in time some of these videos got a small boost in animation. They were called "Sonic Sprites" videos. Now normally when someone thinks of sprite videos, they think of the cool fighting sprite videos like SMBZ, but theresa slice of life type of sonic sprite videos that exist and wow are they dated.
Most of the sonic sprite videos are slice of life, meaning that they're usually revolve around sonic characters doing mundane or regular show type situations, usually consisting of Sonic, Shadow and Silver. Such as going to a mall, mowing a lawn, or somehow fighting the creators evil OC.... Yeah, shit gets weird. Not to mention that the videos all have fowl language, there isnt a video that doesnt have slurs every 10 seconds, that was just the videos style of edgy humor. Overall, they are very nostalgic to me as it was amongst the first pieces of Sonic media i consumed during the rise of TH-cams popularity.
Sonic Shorts, my beloved. I think I saw this way before knowing a lot about Sonic itself like the SatAM cast (around secondary school, I think). I did know Silver from the Mario & Sonic olympic games series though.
I think besides some of the early Dorkly Sonic stuff, like the Sonic OC video and the immortal Tails one, I never watched Sonic For Hire until the 2021 or so, all of the stuff before Sonic "goes to college" or something. What's sure is that I didn't even saw the Egette episodes. I wish well for Lowbrow, if they're still existing despite Rooster Theeth not existing anymore. I did watch some Dorkly though, mainly Pokemon Rusty.
Animation Domination High Def, that's something I haven't thought of in ages. The main stuff I watched from them was their Kill la kill-esque parody mini-series, even if I did watch some of their Scientificly accurate stuff too.
I don't watch Mashed these days (mainly from shifting interests), but maybe I should try to watch more of them eventually.
...Sonic Advance sprite culture when? th-cam.com/video/y-Le5Fs3q7o/w-d-xo.html
Sonic For Hire is still the greatest fan animation series I've ever seen online 🔥
I'm assuming you haven't seen GMod Idiot Box, considering you're not too familiar with animations of that style. I suggest that you do, it's basically a late 2000s - early 2010s time capsule that stood at the top of GMod animation (or maybe even TH-cam animation as a whole) before the SFM era. I rewatch it from time to time, it's brilliant
Some of them, yes. Others were Sonic Shorts, which were bloody hilarious alot of the time. But most actual disturbing Sonic animations fell well short of those damn ponies. Lol.
This is all just stuff I fondly remember
hearing that mobianangel mention took me WAYYYYYY back. i used to binge watch their sonic in littlebigplanet series when i was 8, im 18 now, thats crazy to think about.
Gods I still remember there being a Sonadow comic where they had a kid and everything. Surprisingly, it got me into Vocaloid
OMG MOBIAN ANGEL MY BELOVED -! Plz plz tell me u have also seen their old plush vids, I’m so upset they took them down they were classic af to me 😢
When I was a kid, I remember how I watched old animations of Sonic, a LOT.
Used to watch so many of these animations I was waiting for the scud robot one to be brought :,) Still makes me think about how these old sonic animations made me wanna draw in the first place. Definitely want to see the new sonic shorts when they come out too so excited
I think another honorable mention would be the International Morin Patrol and Sonic Movie Madness created by Roger Van Der Weide from the early 2000’s on newgrounds. Those animations defined my childhood.
Sonic uncut was literally just the eddsworld of the sonic fandom
Surprised there was no mention of the the Sonic & Knuckles show by Freggi
I grew up watching most of these videos mainly sonic shorts and honnstly i love all of balena productions stuff any who has memories of watching old sonic videos can replay here
Good. I’m not the only one who was a sonic fan in the 2010’s and a brony
I remember trying to find the sonic and knuckles fight from X way back when on TH-cam (bc i just thought it had everything and thought it and poptropica were the only websites that existed) and stumbled upon Sonics Nightmare with my little bro. Scuffed times
My past has got to be so weird 💀
BRO YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE MEGA MAN LIVE ACTION MOVIE!!! THANK YOU!!!
I grew up with none of these but I'm fascinated and delighted by this whole world
You’ll never understand the hype behind seeing Shadic for the first time as a kid🤷🏾♂️ that’s just a fact now
As someone who had a almost unhealthy obsession with sonic as a kid, things like Sonic’s adventure, sonic shorts, sonic paradox, sonic seconds, sonic zombies, and especially sonic for hire definitely shape my humor and showed me things I shouldn’t have seen as a kid
I watch sonic short when I was just a kid and my brain is like 😀 and I rewatch sonic short 1-8 in 2024 my brain is like 💀
