Fun fact! Doug Walker (A.K.A Nostalgia Critic) was going to play Dr. Robotnik in the BlueCore Sonic fanfilm. Ultimately he did get the part (probably because he was being...difficult) but he still got a part in the film as the first G.U.N solider Sonic saves in the film.
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog feels like a fever dream. Sat AM, feels like a really cool and awesome dream where you can do nothing, but sit back and watch...except it's actually a TV show, so it's not much of a dream.
NC: "When theyre not trying to operate heavy machinery with their buttcheeks..." Bender: Hey fry! Im steering with my ass! Fry: Thats the best thing i ever saw!
"He made ME persistent, he made YOU too dumb to quit!" I know that the voices of scratch and grounder can be annoying, but I do love the little jokes like that they come out with
As for the chili dogs, that's actually NOT from the show. That's been 'canon' in some form since at least Sonic 2, since Casino Night Zone featured them as stage props. More recent games have featured them as well.
its too bad that this is a reuploaded video, rendering your comment almost useless if you were actually attempting to talk to Doug. I guess its a nice fact for people stumbling across the comment however
17:12 That's how I envision the making of the original Teen Titans comics, cartoon show & Teen Titans Go! comics. 17:36 That's how I envision the making of the new Teen Titans Go! TV show & the new comics.
+Fuze FyreGreen (Fuze the Ferret) even then metal and mecha sonic are two completely different things and metal sonic is what's used way more often than mecha
The Sat Am show was great, but what most people probably don't know is that the extra characters introduced, along with the characterizations and setting, were carried over into the phenomenal Archie comics Sonic the Hedgehog. It had some really great writing, and some amazing stories. Just wished the show had continued, we could have had Knuckles come in.
"If you thought Ren & Stimpy made too much sense, this show is for you..." "raises hand" I F**KING LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!! It made no sense. It was insanely ridiculous. Stupidly random. And it was AWESOME!!!
Chuck Lee Good animation, but the rest was horrid. The development, the humour, the characters themselves. They dumbed down everyone and gave too much time to the humans.
***** Older ones. From 1 to... Er... Kinda difficult to say. Still, the newer did not capture the magic Sega tried to imitate from Nintendo with Mario. Sonic fell in the abyss, yet Mario survived and still is the king.
Alright, let's look at the comments. 50% of the comments are people saying that they liked AOSTH. 20% of the comments are requests for Nostalgia Critic to review Sonic Underground, Sonic X, or Sonic Boom. 15% of the comments are pingas jokes. 5% of the comments are comparing this to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. 10% of the comments are about the washing machine bit. And 0% of the comments are mentioning the Clockwork Orange reference.
Sally still takes the title of Princess because she's holding out hope that her father is still alive. In the comic she did actually take on the title of Queen, putting the needs of her subjects before her own feelings; it's some meaningful and dramatic character development.
Randy Williams I can't even imagine not getting the joke the first time. Even if you have fucked-up enough hearing to think that he said "anti semite", I would hope you had the ability to #1 understand that antisemitism has no place in any place in this context and #2 be able to fit together the pieces enough to know that he was JUST talking about centaurs, and is probably still talking about centaurs and not jews.
***** Furries are people who enjoy the concept of human-animal hybrids, and imagine themselves as these creatures (and, in almost all cases, genuinely want to be them). About 80% of furries are sexually attracted to these anthropomorphic animals, myself being within this group. We've been around since the early 80s, but we're still largely misunderstood and widely hated.
+TheEmperorHyperion There's something truly scary he should have mentioned. All those scenes he showed of that horrible Sonic cartoon are from a single episode! *shudders*
"what's gonna happen now, he blows up his hand and a beautiful woman comes out?" *the exact thing happens* "......WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" This was fucking beautiful.
This and Super Maris Bros cartoon did what they were designed to do. Entertained the hell out of me growing up and now my kids love it. It is awesome watching it all over again
17:12 - 17:57 : Sadly in real life these days, most TV networks will definitely give the latter assessment (The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) an A+.
Typical conversation between Sonic and Tails: Sonic- "Hey lil' buddy, wanna chili dog?" Tails- "Geez Sonic, I don't know. Last time you offered me a chili dog, you had sex with my butt and then crammed it in my mouth." Sonic-"Well geez lil' buddy, that's a top-of-the-line chili dog."
SatAM was absolutely the superior show and shared characters and themes from the Archie comics. Which those comics IIRC, actually ran until either late 2013 or late 2014. In addition, this was closer to the actual original story of Sonic. Robotnik had the world in his hands (thus even the "natural" things looking artificial on Mobius) and was actually the one that made Miles/"Tails" an orphan. In the other tellings where the story is weaker however, the reverse is true and Sonic fights to prevent Robotnik's schemes coming to fruition. The cliffhanger or course, sets up for the story where Metal Sonic becomes the main protagonist. This would've possibly blended elements of Sonic CD or Knuckles Chaotix into the mixture. -sigh- This all makes me wish they'd make a game closer in theme to SatAM/Archie's storylines with a return to 2D platforming with 3D graphics similar to how Mario and Mortal Kombat have.
Um, the comic is still going. The creators have said that Ixis Naugus was going to be set up as the next main villain, with Robotnik reduced to a lackey and Snively reduced essentially to the guy who cleans the toilets.
I do not know if this is posted, but if you guys liked the Sonic SatAM show, the archie comic series of sonic of the hedgehog really follows well with that show. In fact, it expanded on it and continues to do so since they still produce issues.
I have the exact opposite opinion. I find The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog infinitely more enjoyable than SatAM. It's cheesy as hell, which makes it fun to watch. SatAM is a little too serious for my tastes.
About the "subtle" environmental message part... be aware that in the next season they were going to make before cancellation, it was to be revealed that "Mobius" is actually Earth in about the year 3300 after humanity killed itself in a nuclear holocaust, with Robotnik and... annoying nephew guy.. only being around because he fucked up the space colony he lived on, barely escaped with his life, and ended up in some weird time-vortex shit that sent him a thousand years into the future. So, yeah. Global human extinction due to nuclear weapons is SatAM canon.
WTF? Does that mean that Sonic and his friends are irradiated mutants? Is Doctor Robotnik actually trying to create more life forms with his pollution? And am I the only one who thinks that bit about Robotnik/Time Vortex is retarded?
Neon Waffles The extended version I heard about this -- from someone who actually knew and was in contact with a writer from the show -- was that they were exploiting Einstein's Theory of Relativity, where (in overly simplified terms) if you travel near the speed of light, less time passes for you than the people you leave behind. So basically Robotnik and Snively travel off to their space colony and return an inordinate amount of time later and the critters have evolved. Whether or not you find the idea of evolved animals becoming human-esque intelligent "retarded" I have no comment on, but that seemed to be the idea.
Isn't that relatively similar to what Adventure Time is doing? Set a long time in the future after a nuclear holocaust, almost all the characters are inhuman intelligent mutants or hybrids.
Except a nuclear holocaust is implied. Although there is a "Great War" briefly mentioned in the show, there's no indication it was nuclear. In fact, I don't believe the show goes into detail at all. The Archie Sonic comics may have (I never read them), but they're not the same canon even though they eventually adopted the Saturday morning cartoon during its heyday. Point is, the animals may have simply evolved on their own, or were part of some kind of science experiment that went out of control, or who knows what else. I don't think specifics were ever clarified. (Again, discounting the comic, which may have gone its own direction.)
You wanna know something really stupefying, Mr. Critic? I just realized the voice of Grounder was done by the same guy who now does Patrick on 'SpongeBob Squarepants'.
***** Sonic X can be a good show by take out Criss and the status of butt monkey off Knucles. my friends call the show "The Whining Criss" or "The-Spoiled-Brat-who always-cry-and-whine-saying-he-is-alone-but-he-have-a-loving-rich-family-and-good-friends-before-Sonic-arrive-to-central-city". Im still likes this two titles that "Sonic X" because only focus in that spoiled brat. My favorite Sonic shows is still Sat AM
I disagree. Chris only whines because 4Kids rewrote everything. His Japanese counterpart is much stronger in character, a better helper, and more fun. Plus, despite 4Kids's tampering, Chris was very helpful to Sonic and company. He found many chaos emeralds, kept Sonic from being killed by Eggman at many occasions, and always stood by Sonic even at the risk of his own life. And I never saw any moment when Chris acted like a spoiled brat. Sonic SatAM (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) is a very good show. I did like it and the Archie comic. But, to me, the Japanese produced a better product. (Of course, if push comes to shove, the best Sonic is the first three games^^)
No that was actually voice actor Gary Chalk and originally he was going to voice the chicken, Scraps. But to be avoided being fired, he agreed to be Groundor and Phil Hayes the same he was Groundor but was Scraps.
In that bit with the pumpkin, he had more than enough time to come up, be in plain sight, blow into his drill hand, make it turn into a pumpkin, throw it at Sonic and run away. He could have grabbed Sonic and been half way back to Robotnik by the time the trap set up was done.
Well, I can see some way the "I'm over there" joke works, by going fast enough, some characters in faction are able to seem to be in 2 places at once. Though, that, would suggest they thought the joke through
Yeah but the joke works if you actually call the person's attention and then move to the opposite direction rather than just point. And in any case Sonic is fast but even them the robot would notice he moved from a place to another o_o...the only sonic character that could pull that off would be one that could just teleport like Shadow or fly off at high speeds like Silver...and even then you need to call the attention of the person at the spot you are on XD
that joke would work with The Flash, perhaps, and they just dont point, they make the after-image of themselves and taun the enemy to decide which is which. So usualy, the character and his after-image must be doing the same movements to look equal (or doing movements on their own without implying one being fake, lets say, both images are prancing around)
The weird thing is...I actually remember climbing into our family's dryer back when I could still fit in the thing. I wonder if it's just a phase some kids go through?
+Bakorafanboy13 That was the only Sonic show to air in my country other than Sonic X, and honestly, I never understood how they made the connection between Sonic and being in a band... that one just seemed so odd to me.
I watched the show and I think it is shown that he is trapped in some other dimension and technically she took authority as the leader of the freedom fighters. Actually I am sure there was a episode where they discovered some magical ruins and some magi or whatever shows them that the King is actually alive. So technically she is still a princess. But you cannot become a queen of a freedom fighter rebel group. I mean the show was going the route that Sonic and Sally were a romantic interest, maybe if the show ever ended correctly we would have seen the king return and retire, and Sally and Sonic becoming rulers. That is my own little fan imagination on how it would have ended though.
To be completely honest with you, I liked AOSTH better than SatAm when I was a kid. I just liked the wacky, crazy shit. Wasn't concerned with all the deep plot. Never could pay much attention to SatAm. I was only 6 or so at the time I watched them so I'm sure I would've enjoyed SatAm more if I were 10 or so. But, for what it's worth, I got a lot of good memories of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
I'm not much of a sonic fan, but i must be honest, i love this show. It's more nostaligia related, but i have the feeling that if you released this cartoon today after updating some of the jokes, it could pass as a regular show style of comedy. It's not that bad
Okay to be honest, this show isn't that bad. I mean, yes the show's pretty much all over the place and is batshit crazy, but some of the jokes are pretty well thought out and do get a laugh out of me every now and then.
wait a minute... everything is roboticized, with only sonic and his friends left to take down robotnik and unrobot everything? that sounds like the plot of... the game. a television adaptation of a game that is somewhat faithful to the source material, and is GOOD? what kind of drug-addled world have I entered
What was going on over there at DIC Entertainment when this Mistake happened?? Developer 1: (snorts coke) *OOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!* Welcome to DIC! We make "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog", I think! Developer 2: What the *Fuck* is a Sonic?!?
Now that you mention it, there were two tmnt cartoons on at the same time. There was the one that came on after school, with kraang, erma and all the rest. Then there was one that came on Saturday morning, and it was slightly different, I remember it debuted at like eight o'clock at night. The theme song was different, and the tone of the show was different, but it was called the exact same thing if I'm remembering correctly.
Wasn't Naugus trapped in that void place? And if it was why not just show him? Its sad really we'll never know where they wanted to go next in the series sense it was cancelled
I admit, I liked the The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Then again, I grew up with Sonic. And my mind set tends to laugh as... stupid shit. If I were to have the Mindset of a normal person, I may not of liked it, either. Plus the fact I actually was diagnosed with Torrets Syndrome... so.... yeah. :/ But even so, my only noticable feature nowadays is I stutter and get excited a bit more often, plus major mood swings. Besides that, I am your average person. Besides speech, I can do things with my hands better than normal people. Made a working clock faster than my Psychiatrist. She said it would take her the entire weekend. I did it in 20 minutes without any blueprints. Just put the pieces together.
14:50 Actually...they are. In fact, some furries make normal looking anthros (the term used to call the hybrid) take the shape of a centuar, except still just be all the same animal.
THIS GUY BETTER REIVEW SONIC UNDERGROUND OR HE WILL HAVE TO WATCH EVERY EPISODE OF THE ADVENTURES OF SONIC THE HADGEHOG dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
***** Is he talking about the Soniv OVA movie, one of the best things to come out of the franchise ? or is he talking about the shitty fan made movie ?
Unfortunately no, the headquarters he was at moved across the country a few years ago. I still have a shitload of Sonic merch just laying around though.
Well, you can dictate any alternate reality you like, but ultimately the story I was told is that ABC got a new president who wasn't fond of the show, reiterated here: www.saturdaymorningsonic.com/faq/canceled/
***** Well, it is true that they aren't that old... but terrible, that's a matter of opinion, if you asked me: i would certainly say that they were good shows. i enjoyed them a lot!
16:07 Holy shit!! I KNOW that voice! Buster Bunny? What are you doing there? And why did you cut off your ears sew them to your nose, shave yourself and put on pants?! Actually the pants thing is fine but woah!!
I've noticed that people from Critic's generation typically lean towards the Sat AM continuity, while those who grew up with Sonic X prefer THAT continuity
+Sandra Rodríguez I haven't watched sonic x in a really long time but I do remember it being pretty good. The only episodes I remember though are the first two and the two episodes based on the sonic adventure games. Which those episodes kicked ass!
I wonder what his response is to Sonic Underground. Even the most spiteful haters of Sonic Underground have to admit it was better put together than... to quote the great critic "THAT OTHER SHOW!"
Eh, Shadow wasn't even created until about 6 years later, in 2001. The eyes were some evil wizard that appeared in a couple episodes prior and, while I can't speak for anyone else, I personally could not give less of a shit about. Most people thought it was Metal Sonic.
It was Ixis Naugus. He's a wizard made of 3 animal fused together. Sonic SatAm is based on the Sonic The Hedgehog comic book by Archie Comics. Nothing there was invented, they took everything from the comic and the show ended at the part when Robotnik dies and Ixis Naugus appears.
Edgard Macedo Eh, actually, if the release dates I checked for the comic are correct, you're wrong. The comic does predate the show by a little under a year, but the issues that those events fall in seem to have been released in 96/97, while the show's final episode was in 94. I'll admit, the comic version does sound cooler (although I found archie to take a series about blue hedgehogs a bit too seriously), but the comic version was an altered continuation of the show's plot.
Neon Waffles The comic more or less followed "popular Sonic" in its lifespan. It started based on the games (some early Sonic comics were really much closer to "Adventures" in terms of being cartoony and silly), and later they started to follow "SatAM." But at some point they all transitioned into some kind of "soap opera" hybrid that tried to go beyond the cartoon and yet still yield to what Sega was doing at the time, if anything. That of course meant there were lots of years where Sega was doing nothing at all and the comic went in all sorts of directions, but usually was reeled in back to something like the mainline. In short, the comics are confusing as hell, because the reality is constantly altered by outside forces.
Okay, so: AoSTH was pretty shit, yeah. The Sonic SatAM show was eh, but only because it added shitty extra characters that nobody cares about. Sonic Underground...ugh. Sonic X would have been good if it wasn't for CHRIS FUCKING THORNDYKE. Sonic Boom looks really promising, so that's a thing.
"It's like a Japanese show in English, only you still have no idea what's going on!!!" Funny, I didn't actually think Evangelion bore much resemblance to this.
tysej4 no, e with that accent mark impiles the stress is on me syllable m-e. e with a diaresis just means that you pronounce the e, and it's not a silent e, which wound make in anne-eyem
Formor Immington Depends on your linquistic background... FX in some language "é" would just imply emphasis on the pronounciation.... So like Ani-"meh" or Ani-"me". Without any form of emphasis the word "Anime" would be pronounced "Aneem" or similar in the English language as we have no discernable way to see whether or not it should be pronounced like that. Depending on your language you'd find the "´" to be used in a variety of ways, the way I was taught just so happens to make this a viable way to say "Anime"
I know Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog sucked to high heaven, but every time I see and hear Tail's voice, I just want to hug him. He's adorable no matter what
Pretty sure SatAM was based off of the sonic comics, which featured the same cast of characters, and while they started off light and comedic, took an incredibly dark turn later on. The comics were awesome, and I'm not sure which one was based on what, the comics or the show, but I'm pretty sure the show was based off the comics.
1krani You mean that movie? I actually kind of like it. Then and now I actually like it... except for the climax, there were only some bits of that I actually liked. And that owl guy, while slightly funny, did get annoying.
I did that kind of project near the end of the episode, too. It was about movies. Mine was the script for a 2012 video game movie. The other was similar, but it took 10 years to make, so the guy started early, was about food, and is the #1 thing certain to make Critic shed tears of hatred.
Scratch and Grounder are the only two characters I like from this show (though Critic did summarize their voices perfectly). Though to be fair, I don't think it's that terrible. It's okay. Definitely weak compared to all the other cartoons and comics made about Sonic, but not terrible.
"Blue Hedgehog and Chillidog ?"
Might I remind you, Turtles and pizza ?
not to mention cat and lasagna
I think every show character seemed to have some various food connection in those days.
+Themoviegamingguy Don't forget a green ghost and...Pretty much any food
+Jeffrey Blau really?
+Themoviegamingguy What never seen the real Ghostbusters show
Fun fact! Doug Walker (A.K.A Nostalgia Critic) was going to play Dr. Robotnik in the BlueCore Sonic fanfilm.

One good thing about AoSTH: it gave us a character so glorious that he now lives on forever as one of the many mascots of TH-cam Poop.
Hi!
Hello
Which character is this?
IXAreborn Dr. Robotnik
+IXAreborn PINGAS
He sounded EXACTLY like Scratch and Grounder when he described their voices.
NC: "When theyre not trying to operate heavy machinery with their buttcheeks..."
Bender: Hey fry! Im steering with my ass!
Fry: Thats the best thing i ever saw!
Sonic's disguises are about as convincing and yet effective as the ones Jessie and James use!
Surely they browse at the same store
+NekoSoren Along with Scooby and Shaggy.
Don't forget Superman!
Depends on the costume used
"He made ME persistent, he made YOU too dumb to quit!"
I know that the voices of scratch and grounder can be annoying, but I do love the little jokes like that they come out with
As for the chili dogs, that's actually NOT from the show. That's been 'canon' in some form since at least Sonic 2, since Casino Night Zone featured them as stage props. More recent games have featured them as well.

ChainedGUILT
...Was there really any point to your reply?
ChibiTails There's always a reason
Aoki Lapis about as much as there was a point for your comment, yes
17:12
That's how I envision the making of the original Teen Titans comics, cartoon show & Teen Titans Go! comics.
17:36
That's how I envision the making of the new Teen Titans Go! TV show & the new comics.
Yup
Indeed my friend, indeed.
+Ivan Simpson Yes.
Ivan, that is what happened.
+Ivan Simpson YES.
I think the thing was red eyes was probably Metal Sonic. Just a guess.
mech sonic*
+Mamun Haobsh no it's metal sonic there's no such thing as mech sonic
Braven g he's referring to mecha Sonic.
+Fuze FyreGreen (Fuze the Ferret) even then metal and mecha sonic are two completely different things and metal sonic is what's used way more often than mecha
+Isaiah Vargas i'd refer to the archie comic, it shared a lot of plot points with this show.
The Sat Am show was great, but what most people probably don't know is that the extra characters introduced, along with the characterizations and setting, were carried over into the phenomenal Archie comics Sonic the Hedgehog. It had some really great writing, and some amazing stories. Just wished the show had continued, we could have had Knuckles come in.
The sat am show was great but what most people probably don’t know is
I think it is hilarious how whenever Critic loses his cool, he sounds exactly like Scratch.
"If you thought Ren & Stimpy made too much sense, this show is for you..."
"raises hand"
I F**KING LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!!
It made no sense. It was insanely ridiculous. Stupidly random.
And it was AWESOME!!!
not gonna lie, the "I'm over there" scene always makes me laugh...
I have to confess it gets me too, no matter how stupid it is. (in fact thst might be exactly what makes me laugh)
Good things on the Sonic franchise:
-Half of the games
-Sonic SatAM
-The Archie comics.
That's it.
Sonic the Comic.
What about Sonic X?
Chuck Lee Good animation, but the rest was horrid. The development, the humour, the characters themselves. They dumbed down everyone and gave too much time to the humans.
Be specific on which games
***** Older ones. From 1 to... Er... Kinda difficult to say.
Still, the newer did not capture the magic Sega tried to imitate from Nintendo with Mario.
Sonic fell in the abyss, yet Mario survived and still is the king.
What's interesting is that even today, chili dogs are STILL Sonic's favorite food.
Alright, let's look at the comments.
50% of the comments are people saying that they liked AOSTH.
20% of the comments are requests for Nostalgia Critic to review Sonic Underground, Sonic X, or Sonic Boom.
15% of the comments are pingas jokes.
5% of the comments are comparing this to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
10% of the comments are about the washing machine bit.
And 0% of the comments are mentioning the Clockwork Orange reference.
FUCK YEAH CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
There now it's 1%
Zaiaza Wheres it at, I cant find it
Jalen M 10:33 if you have not already found it yet.
Sounds like the daily comment section to me.
It was either here, or on another "Sonic" video, where I said that this "Clockwork Orange" thing works good with "Sharknado."
Sally still takes the title of Princess because she's holding out hope that her father is still alive. In the comic she did actually take on the title of Queen, putting the needs of her subjects before her own feelings; it's some meaningful and dramatic character development.
12:18 Why else is the voice actor named Jim CUMMINGS! Lol
Chandler VanFossen 8S
Chandler VanFossen I'll bet his PINGAS is pretty big, don't you think?
Scratch= Spongebob
Grounder= Patrick
I can't be the only one thinking this.
no I am as well lol I guess I forgot this show because of sonic X lol a pretty good show even though 4kids messed it up
but Spongebob and Patrick are funny
though mordecai and rigby is better
Scratch=Moe
Grounder=Curly
Coconuts=Larry
Sketch B. Cartooni Not anymore. The newer seasons of spongebob from 06 to now suck. Spongebob from 1999 to 2005 was when he was funny.
14:45
WOW.
Someone on the internet made a proper generalization of what a furry is.
Faith in humanity = Restored.
Also, anti-centite?! 😂
Oh puns, you are my guilty pleasure
HOLY SHIT, SOMEONE WHO ISN'T A FURRY UNDERSTANDS WHAT FURRIES ARE. Although his initial generalization fits me pretty well...
Randy Williams I can't even imagine not getting the joke the first time. Even if you have fucked-up enough hearing to think that he said "anti semite", I would hope you had the ability to #1 understand that antisemitism has no place in any place in this context and #2 be able to fit together the pieces enough to know that he was JUST talking about centaurs, and is probably still talking about centaurs and not jews.
***** Yeah, no, I fully realize what I am, don't worry about that.
***** Furries are people who enjoy the concept of human-animal hybrids, and imagine themselves as these creatures (and, in almost all cases, genuinely want to be them). About 80% of furries are sexually attracted to these anthropomorphic animals, myself being within this group. We've been around since the early 80s, but we're still largely misunderstood and widely hated.
The fact that I watched Adventures of Sonic religiously and didn't even know the other show existed says a lot about the person I am. .....
GyroMurphy Same here, I used to watch AOSTH all the time at 10, 11, and 12 years old.
I'm surprised he didn't mention the PINGAS scene
+Kyle Atkins-Weltman Or the "NO" scene
Why hasn't he mentioned the "why" scene!? Why did you not acknowledge it!? Why!? WHY!?! WHYYYY!?!?!
+TheEmperorHyperion There's something truly scary he should have mentioned. All those scenes he showed of that horrible Sonic cartoon are from a single episode! *shudders*
+Kyle Atkins-Weltman what about the whole TV show thing with the WHAT???
+Eddie not true.
"what's gonna happen now, he blows up his hand and a beautiful woman comes out?"
*the exact thing happens*
"......WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"
This was fucking beautiful.
HOW COULD YOU BLOW INTO YOUR HAND AND MAKE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN?!
This and Super Maris Bros cartoon did what they were designed to do. Entertained the hell out of me growing up and now my kids love it.
It is awesome watching it all over again
17:12 - 17:57 : Sadly in real life these days, most TV networks will definitely give the latter assessment (The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) an A+.

Does anyone remember "Sonic Underground"?
The one with the.......guitar band??? or.....no, I don't think I do
I bought a DVD of that once. My mom hated the scratchy loud voices so I had to turn it off. At least it was better then *ahem* THAT OTHER SHOW!!!
THAT other show
Fionn Conner I watched it a couple of times. I kinda liked Sonic's siblings, Sonia and Manic, although I initially thought Sonia was Amy.
NOPE, 3/10
I do not know if this is posted, but if you guys liked the Sonic SatAM show, the archie comic series of sonic of the hedgehog really follows well with that show. In fact, it expanded on it and continues to do so since they still produce issues.
Wow, the cancellation ending is as bad as "Sonic Underground".
I mean, COME ON! I wanted them to meet their mother!
We see Sally's father in the second season. He's voiced by Tim Curry.
I have to admit I still like this show and even sonic underground
I like this show to, as goofy as it is.
Dude, Sonic underground was my shit.
Grant Meunier/ Rubytarnprime yes
I have the exact opposite opinion. I find The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog infinitely more enjoyable than SatAM. It's cheesy as hell, which makes it fun to watch. SatAM is a little too serious for my tastes.
Does anyone know the music/clip NC used at 11:45?
About the "subtle" environmental message part... be aware that in the next season they were going to make before cancellation, it was to be revealed that "Mobius" is actually Earth in about the year 3300 after humanity killed itself in a nuclear holocaust, with Robotnik and... annoying nephew guy.. only being around because he fucked up the space colony he lived on, barely escaped with his life, and ended up in some weird time-vortex shit that sent him a thousand years into the future.
So, yeah. Global human extinction due to nuclear weapons is SatAM canon.
WTF? Does that mean that Sonic and his friends are irradiated mutants? Is Doctor Robotnik actually trying to create more life forms with his pollution? And am I the only one who thinks that bit about Robotnik/Time Vortex is retarded?
Centipede To answer your questions in order, yes, they are, no, Robotnik just hates non-humans, and no, you're not the only one.

The extended version I heard about this -- from someone who actually knew and was in contact with a writer from the show -- was that they were exploiting Einstein's Theory of Relativity, where (in overly simplified terms) if you travel near the speed of light, less time passes for you than the people you leave behind. So basically Robotnik and Snively travel off to their space colony and return an inordinate amount of time later and the critters have evolved. Whether or not you find the idea of evolved animals becoming human-esque intelligent "retarded" I have no comment on, but that seemed to be the idea.
Isn't that relatively similar to what Adventure Time is doing? Set a long time in the future after a nuclear holocaust, almost all the characters are inhuman intelligent mutants or hybrids.
Except a nuclear holocaust is implied. Although there is a "Great War" briefly mentioned in the show, there's no indication it was nuclear. In fact, I don't believe the show goes into detail at all. The Archie Sonic comics may have (I never read them), but they're not the same canon even though they eventually adopted the Saturday morning cartoon during its heyday.
Point is, the animals may have simply evolved on their own, or were part of some kind of science experiment that went out of control, or who knows what else. I don't think specifics were ever clarified. (Again, discounting the comic, which may have gone its own direction.)
You wanna know something really stupefying, Mr. Critic? I just realized the voice of Grounder was done by the same guy who now does Patrick on 'SpongeBob Squarepants'.
still bad show
Juan Francisco Gonzalez Garza No argument. 'Sonic X' is the better show.
***** Sonic X can be a good show by take out Criss and the status of butt monkey off Knucles. my friends call the show "The Whining Criss" or "The-Spoiled-Brat-who always-cry-and-whine-saying-he-is-alone-but-he-have-a-loving-rich-family-and-good-friends-before-Sonic-arrive-to-central-city". Im still likes this two titles that "Sonic X" because only focus in that spoiled brat. My favorite Sonic shows is still Sat AM
I disagree. Chris only whines because 4Kids rewrote everything. His Japanese counterpart is much stronger in character, a better helper, and more fun. Plus, despite 4Kids's tampering, Chris was very helpful to Sonic and company. He found many chaos emeralds, kept Sonic from being killed by Eggman at many occasions, and always stood by Sonic even at the risk of his own life. And I never saw any moment when Chris acted like a spoiled brat.
Sonic SatAM (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) is a very good show. I did like it and the Archie comic. But, to me, the Japanese produced a better product.
(Of course, if push comes to shove, the best Sonic is the first three games^^)
No that was actually voice actor Gary Chalk and originally he was going to voice the chicken, Scraps. But to be avoided being fired, he agreed to be Groundor and Phil Hayes the same he was Groundor but was Scraps.
In that bit with the pumpkin, he had more than enough time to come up, be in plain sight, blow into his drill hand, make it turn into a pumpkin, throw it at Sonic and run away. He could have grabbed Sonic and been half way back to Robotnik by the time the trap set up was done.
Hey Doug! How does it feel knowing that in 20 years Jersey Shore and 16 & Pregnant will be old enough to be considered nostalgic?
As if anyone is going to remember that shit.
*****
Doug as to. He remembers it so we don't have to. :P
***** As if anyone remembers that Sonic had this crappy show, or that Bebe's Kids was, in fact, a thing.
Schizoid Nightfall Basically, as if anybody is going to remember the shitty stuff.
***** On that we agree
Well, I can see some way the "I'm over there" joke works, by going fast enough, some characters in faction are able to seem to be in 2 places at once. Though, that, would suggest they thought the joke through
Yeah but the joke works if you actually call the person's attention and then move to the opposite direction rather than just point. And in any case Sonic is fast but even them the robot would notice he moved from a place to another o_o...the only sonic character that could pull that off would be one that could just teleport like Shadow or fly off at high speeds like Silver...and even then you need to call the attention of the person at the spot you are on XD
NekoSoren Again, doing the joke right, would require them to think. We know that ain't happening
that joke would work with The Flash, perhaps, and they just dont point, they make the after-image of themselves and taun the enemy to decide which is which. So usualy, the character and his after-image must be doing the same movements to look equal (or doing movements on their own without implying one being fake, lets say, both images are prancing around)
This is my favorite review from the NC so far.
The weird thing is...I actually remember climbing into our family's dryer back when I could still fit in the thing. I wonder if it's just a phase some kids go through?
What about sonic underground?
It was another sonic cartoon that also ended prematurely.
with them 9/11-ing Robotnik's fortress
+Bakorafanboy13 That was the only Sonic show to air in my country other than Sonic X, and honestly, I never understood how they made the connection between Sonic and being in a band... that one just seemed so odd to me.
+Logan Wynn
No, The Last Episode Was Sonic And Manic Get Trapped In The Virtual World
Its nice to know the animators of this later found work doing Spongebob LOL
I watched the show and I think it is shown that he is trapped in some other dimension and technically she took authority as the leader of the freedom fighters. Actually I am sure there was a episode where they discovered some magical ruins and some magi or whatever shows them that the King is actually alive. So technically she is still a princess. But you cannot become a queen of a freedom fighter rebel group. I mean the show was going the route that Sonic and Sally were a romantic interest, maybe if the show ever ended correctly we would have seen the king return and retire, and Sally and Sonic becoming rulers. That is my own little fan imagination on how it would have ended though.
Sonic: I'm over there.
*Robot looks over there*
I gotta admit, that part actually made me chuckle a little.
This is by far my favorite sonic cartoons. The other ones were too serious.
To be completely honest with you, I liked AOSTH better than SatAm when I was a kid. I just liked the wacky, crazy shit. Wasn't concerned with all the deep plot. Never could pay much attention to SatAm. I was only 6 or so at the time I watched them so I'm sure I would've enjoyed SatAm more if I were 10 or so. But, for what it's worth, I got a lot of good memories of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
I'm not much of a sonic fan, but i must be honest, i love this show. It's more nostaligia related, but i have the feeling that if you released this cartoon today after updating some of the jokes, it could pass as a regular show style of comedy. It's not that bad
but...but...sonic underground...that show was my childhood...the song is still forever burned in my memory to this day...
Okay to be honest, this show isn't that bad. I mean, yes the show's pretty much all over the place and is batshit crazy, but some of the jokes are pretty well thought out and do get a laugh out of me every now and then.
wait a minute... everything is roboticized, with only sonic and his friends left to take down robotnik and unrobot everything? that sounds like the plot of... the game. a television adaptation of a game that is somewhat faithful to the source material, and is GOOD? what kind of drug-addled world have I entered
What was going on over there at DIC Entertainment when this Mistake happened??
Developer 1: (snorts coke) *OOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!* Welcome to DIC! We make "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog", I think!
Developer 2: What the *Fuck* is a Sonic?!?
HAH! JonTron!
Now that you mention it, there were two tmnt cartoons on at the same time. There was the one that came on after school, with kraang, erma and all the rest. Then there was one that came on Saturday morning, and it was slightly different, I remember it debuted at like eight o'clock at night. The theme song was different, and the tone of the show was different, but it was called the exact same thing if I'm remembering correctly.
I always figued the chili dog thing was some sort of weird wink and nod to Sonic the fast food chain.
I'm guessing the red eyes at the end of satam was robo sonic.
Funny, I always thought it was Knuckles sense Sonic 3 on genesis was out around that time but u could be right, guess were never know now -_-
well I don't recall knuckles having red eyes. :b
I agree it fits metal sonic
Wasn't Naugus trapped in that void place? And if it was why not just show him? Its sad really we'll never know where they wanted to go next in the series sense it was cancelled
it was cancelled because of power rangers the shit thing
I admit, I liked the The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Then again, I grew up with Sonic. And my mind set tends to laugh as... stupid shit.
If I were to have the Mindset of a normal person, I may not of liked it, either.
Plus the fact I actually was diagnosed with Torrets Syndrome... so.... yeah. :/
But even so, my only noticable feature nowadays is I stutter and get excited a bit more often, plus major mood swings.
Besides that, I am your average person.
Besides speech, I can do things with my hands better than normal people.
Made a working clock faster than my Psychiatrist.
She said it would take her the entire weekend. I did it in 20 minutes without any blueprints. Just put the pieces together.
"Even you can learn something from a sloth!" I laughed more than I should have. There is something really funny and amusing about this to me
Anyone know if that was a metal sonic tease at the end of satam? That's all I can figure.
+Idazmi7 that actually makes more sense since he was in the show to begin with.
I think it should have been shadow
It couldn't be shadow. He wasn't created til sonic adventure era
From my understanding, it was actually Naugus.
RoseOfTheNight4444 who is naugus
14:50 Actually...they are. In fact, some furries make normal looking anthros (the term used to call the hybrid) take the shape of a centuar, except still just be all the same animal.
Yep. My understanding is that Centaurs are in the furry fandom but they are sort of subgroup like furries that deal with creatures that aren't furry.
Fuckup McDumbass is now tied with Black Willy Wonka for my favorite Nostaligia Critic fictional character
Oh man years later and Doug's delivery at 12:18 STILL makes me laugh!
THIS GUY BETTER REIVEW SONIC UNDERGROUND OR HE WILL HAVE TO WATCH EVERY EPISODE OF THE ADVENTURES OF SONIC THE HADGEHOG dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
Or worse, he will review the Sonic movie!
***** Is he talking about the Soniv OVA movie, one of the best things to come out of the franchise ? or is he talking about the shitty fan made movie ?
***** Well then technically he did see it considering that Doug Walker was starring in the fan movie as a military soldier. True story
***** Yep
Xenosisthebest Or we could make him watch every episode of Sonic X.
"Queen it up, bitch!" Lmao best quote ever.
My dad worked for Sega, so I grew up with both of these shows
does he still work there?
Unfortunately no, the headquarters he was at moved across the country a few years ago. I still have a shitload of Sonic merch just laying around though.
But you are so lucky though
RIP Christine Cavanaugh. One of the best actors.
Wish satAM showed on toon Disney instead of abc surely the story would have continued.
Well, you can dictate any alternate reality you like, but ultimately the story I was told is that ABC got a new president who wasn't fond of the show, reiterated here: www.saturdaymorningsonic.com/faq/canceled/
Urkel:(looks at sonic adventures) did I do that!
What about Sonic Underground, And Sonic X?
Those aren't that old, and were horrible.
***** Well, it is true that they aren't that old... but terrible, that's a matter of opinion, if you asked me: i would certainly say that they were good shows. i enjoyed them a lot!
1Nacster They made me want to severely hurt myself.
***** Then you got some serious problems, you should probably go see a therapist about that. because a tv show shouldn't do that! xD
Well I shouldn't have watched those "things". Did I mention they also gave me herpes and type 2 diabetes?
this was one of my childhood shows growing up...especially the christmas hour long episode =p
So basically The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is like an annoying Bugs Bunny crossed with the Roadrunner.
Still better than sonic 06
True, but one is a game, and one is a TV show.
These machines are so lame, I doubt they'd make it as half-baked Mega Man villains.
Good one, Critic.
9:17 "Like if the cable goes out" -- I grew up without cable, and I was still able to watch Adventures :P
16:07
Holy shit!! I KNOW that voice! Buster Bunny? What are you doing there? And why did you cut off your ears sew them to your nose, shave yourself and put on pants?! Actually the pants thing is fine but woah!!
pumpkin? what pumpkin? there is no pumpkin here nor has there ever been...
Um I wonder how they got that one eyed snake line pass the censors?
Oh hey! I remember that song! It kicked ass! How come that wasn't on that top 11 nostalgic list of theme songs!
5. Sonic Underground
4. Sonic AoSTH
3. Sonic Boom
2. Sonic X
1. Sonic SatAM
wrong order. from shitty to good..
5. Sonic boom
4. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
3.Sonic x
2. Sonic Underground
1. Sonic Sat AM
I think Sonic X was pretty cool
I've noticed that people from Critic's generation typically lean towards the Sat AM continuity, while those who grew up with Sonic X prefer THAT continuity
+Logan Wynn
well that what it is when the havent seen sonic x yet.
+Logan Wynn I grew up with X, but I really like SatAM.
Max Wasson same here
+Sandra Rodríguez I haven't watched sonic x in a really long time but I do remember it being pretty good. The only episodes I remember though are the first two and the two episodes based on the sonic adventure games. Which those episodes kicked ass!
"A blue hedgehog and chili-dogs?! What's the connection?!" I gave a hedgehog some fried chicken once. It freakin' loved it.
I wounder what the critic thinks about Sonic X ?
I wonder what his response is to Sonic Underground. Even the most spiteful haters of Sonic Underground have to admit it was better put together than... to quote the great critic "THAT OTHER SHOW!"
snooPINGASusualiseesonic?
I don't know much about Sonic, but the thing in that last episode looked like Shadow.
Eh, Shadow wasn't even created until about 6 years later, in 2001. The eyes were some evil wizard that appeared in a couple episodes prior and, while I can't speak for anyone else, I personally could not give less of a shit about. Most people thought it was Metal Sonic.
It was Ixis Naugus. He's a wizard made of 3 animal fused together. Sonic SatAm is based on the Sonic The Hedgehog comic book by Archie Comics. Nothing there was invented, they took everything from the comic and the show ended at the part when Robotnik dies and Ixis Naugus appears.
Edgard Macedo Eh, actually, if the release dates I checked for the comic are correct, you're wrong. The comic does predate the show by a little under a year, but the issues that those events fall in seem to have been released in 96/97, while the show's final episode was in 94.
I'll admit, the comic version does sound cooler (although I found archie to take a series about blue hedgehogs a bit too seriously), but the comic version was an altered continuation of the show's plot.
Neon Waffles
The comic more or less followed "popular Sonic" in its lifespan. It started based on the games (some early Sonic comics were really much closer to "Adventures" in terms of being cartoony and silly), and later they started to follow "SatAM." But at some point they all transitioned into some kind of "soap opera" hybrid that tried to go beyond the cartoon and yet still yield to what Sega was doing at the time, if anything. That of course meant there were lots of years where Sega was doing nothing at all and the comic went in all sorts of directions, but usually was reeled in back to something like the mainline. In short, the comics are confusing as hell, because the reality is constantly altered by outside forces.
The series ended in 1996 I think and shadow made his debut in 2001, so yeah, it can't be him.
Doug's impression of Scratch was actually pretty accurate.
Sonic got another TV Show. Called "Sonic Boom" it's CGI Animation
Forgot about Sonic Underground, I see.....
Okay, so:
AoSTH was pretty shit, yeah.
The Sonic SatAM show was eh, but only because it added shitty extra characters that nobody cares about.
Sonic Underground...ugh.
Sonic X would have been good if it wasn't for CHRIS FUCKING THORNDYKE.
Sonic Boom looks really promising, so that's a thing.
Huh?
Oh, sorry. I was just watching whatever of these I felt interested in, never really watched nostalgia critic before.
oh god, you just had to bring up Chris. I had repressed those Sonic X memories until now.....
That doesn't make him any less...Chris.
MasterShadic2
I prefer chris as an adult , less annoying ... until they pulled a GT and turned him to a kid and i was ..... so pissed
"prince" Vegeta who's father is dead still goes by Prince
well he is the only badass character who can stay with the title of prince, for example the prince of persia (not from the movie)
They made a comic out of this.
It was surprisingly badass. It has amnesia, timewarps, and pirates.
"It's like a Japanese show in English, only you still have no idea what's going on!!!" Funny, I didn't actually think Evangelion bore much resemblance to this.
+daftoptimist Japanese Show... Not Animé
Have you seen some of the Japanese game shows? Those are weird AF
+tysej4 it's Animë not Animé
Formor Immington
It's a fucking word. I spell it the way I pronounce it, hence Animé.
tysej4 no, e with that accent mark impiles the stress is on me syllable m-e. e with a diaresis just means that you pronounce the e, and it's not a silent e, which wound make in anne-eyem
Formor Immington
Depends on your linquistic background... FX in some language "é" would just imply emphasis on the pronounciation.... So like Ani-"meh" or Ani-"me".
Without any form of emphasis the word "Anime" would be pronounced "Aneem" or similar in the English language as we have no discernable way to see whether or not it should be pronounced like that.
Depending on your language you'd find the "´" to be used in a variety of ways, the way I was taught just so happens to make this a viable way to say "Anime"
thats a lotta hate
This is making me want to start watching the show...
To clarify, I mean the stupid, nonsensical one.
I know Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog sucked to high heaven, but every time I see and hear Tail's voice, I just want to hug him. He's adorable no matter what
Pretty sure SatAM was based off of the sonic comics, which featured the same cast of characters, and while they started off light and comedic, took an incredibly dark turn later on.
The comics were awesome, and I'm not sure which one was based on what, the comics or the show, but I'm pretty sure the show was based off the comics.
The comics were based off the SatAM show.
Wasn't sure which was which, but I followed both the show and the comics religiously as a kid.
Did anyone notice that SatAM is one letter away from Satan :o
Are you Jaquae
ShadowTheMinecraftian (STM) from jontron I know I made a typo
I used to love this show before (0.0)
Sophie Ng (ソフィ)
Me too. I actually never realized how crazy this show is until the moment I watched this video.
How about Sonic underground?
He said he wasn't going to review any more Sonic stuff.
On a side note, Sonic Boom is coming out this fall on CN.
1krani WE DONT TALK ABOUT SONIC BOOM.
SuperHman03 Why not?? It seems like it's going to be awesome.
SuperHman03
No, we talk about Sonic Boom. What we DON'T talk about is the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA that was made in Japan.
1krani You mean that movie? I actually kind of like it. Then and now I actually like it... except for the climax, there were only some bits of that I actually liked. And that owl guy, while slightly funny, did get annoying.
I did that kind of project near the end of the episode, too. It was about movies. Mine was the script for a 2012 video game movie. The other was similar, but it took 10 years to make, so the guy started early, was about food, and is the #1 thing certain to make Critic shed tears of hatred.
Scratch and Grounder are the only two characters I like from this show (though Critic did summarize their voices perfectly).
Though to be fair, I don't think it's that terrible. It's okay. Definitely weak compared to all the other cartoons and comics made about Sonic, but not terrible.
