SONIC SHORTS 9: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLKfnJl5vsnbomw.htmlsi=_SMZdCHLMibcFRUf

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

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

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

MLP 🤝 Sonic Both traumatizing generations and fans since the 2010’s (But are much more tame nowadays

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 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’.

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!

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 😭

The thumbnail already brings back memories… The fat jiggles & skin folds still haunt me.

Sonic vs Mlp trauma contest, who winning?

And this is how I accidently discovered project love potion

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!

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!

BABE WAKE UP SHUNKS VIDEO JUST DROPPED

I learned everything from Sonic Zombies stereotypes, Boobs, the disturbing Fandom, and HOOBA DOOBA!

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!

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.

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

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

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

Sonic Shorts is what actually got me into discovering the franchise as a whole

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.

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.

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

god i'm so fucking tired of the "guys, seeing something somewhat unsettling online at a young age LITERALLY TRAUMATIZED ME guys" joke.

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.

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.

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.

I learned what gay people were from a sonic animation

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!

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.

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.

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

Sonic Zombie Origins just straight up a nostalgia trip for me lol

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 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.

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.

These fan animations are core memories for me, and I wouldn't have it any other way

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. )

sonic breaks his neck was definitely that one fan made Sonic video that made me uncomfortable back then

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

Traumatised? Hardly, those where fun as hell xD

Sonic fan made stuff is weird but fun

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.

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.

holy shit the Sonic Paradox Shorts...i loved watching those animations when i was a kid

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 !

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 KZfaq. Yeah people would upload these to KZfaq, 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.

Nazo Unleashed was PEAK as a kid. Also you remember the SSS Show with those Sonic sprites. (Specifically Leon the Snowwolf, & 12gameschamp21)

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.

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!

Does anyone else remember that one animation where Sonic is... Huh... "Squeezing the hog", and Tails accidentally sees him? Yeah...

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

you're videos have been getting better woah! good job!

I’m pretty sure Faulerro voiced Knuckles a lot in sonic shorts. He’s also the voice of Yamcha in DBZA :D

The only thing that traumatizes Sonic fans is Forces... OH GOD

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.

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 almost forgot some of these animations.... kinda wish it stayed away from my brain ngl lol

man this video was such a trip down memory lane...

Sonic Shorts and others from 2010 - 2014 are nostalgic.

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

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

thanks for giving me sonic paradox flashbacks shunks, love that for me

I once read all of Tails gets Trolled, and I honestly think I have become a worse human being since.

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 KZfaq, made other projects with Mashed and collaborates with youtuber/streamer Lythero

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 KZfaqs popularity.

You’ll never understand the hype behind seeing Shadic for the first time as a kid🤷🏾‍♂️ that’s just a fact now

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

If mugi mike isn't there I don't believe you

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.

Here goes people who’ve hasn’t experienced the internet until he was nine complaining about animations that were made for adults

"Hasn't aged well. Doesn't hold up by today's standards." *DUDE!* That what makes old media fun! Aspects of what made lots of these animations old are what made them fun and charming! Even if they did remake stuff like Sonic vs. Jaws, I forever prefer the original because sometimes remakes suck out the soul and charm of the originals. Screw modern standards, really.

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.

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

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 😫

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 KZfaq animation as a whole) before the SFM era. I rewatch it from time to time, it's brilliant

Sonic For Hire is still the greatest fan animation series I've ever seen online 🔥

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

as a very young kid i used to watch "sonic eats amy" and stuff like that. i realized it was vore years later. oh well

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 😢

If kphoria isn't mentioned here the title isn't accurate (lighthearted)

When I was a kid, I remember how I watched old animations of Sonic, a LOT.

Here’s an obscure one. Sonic the Cat was an animated series that ended before it started. Basically all of the major Sonic characters like Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Eggman, etc are all cats and then there’s this Black Cat female character that’s like the grim reaper and basically stalks Sonic until he gets shot by Eggman and is now is in the equivalent of the upside down from Stranger Things. Andddd that’s it. This is made in 2013 or 2014 and it’s now wiped off the internet, but the ideas I loved from it.

Not even gonna lie, I would love to see more Sonic content, this was such a fun video to go through. However you never mention putting springs in the middle of the damn forest for the sonic shorts segment

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? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5N8mJh32JnVZ6M.html

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.

Some Fan Animations are Peak fiction. Especially super Mario Bros Z. THAT SHIT WAS AWESOME

5:59. I have the exact same experience. Years later still love the song.

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

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.

This is all just stuff I fondly remember

I remember watching Sonic Paradox, Sonic Zombies & Tails and Friends alot in middle school & early high school.

AUGH you cant upload this after i rewatch like the entire "old sonic videos" playlist

Good. I’m not the only one who was a sonic fan in the 2010’s and a brony
