Sonic For Hire

[Alyxx Thorne]

Not technically a machinima show, but I discovered this show recently on Machinima.com. It's basically a flash cartoon that spoofs classic 8bit and 16bit games, of course Sonic in particular who is the star of the show. The show is pretty much animated using classic 8bit sprites and graphics and uses a lot of dark adult humor (which is why I love it).

 

The basic premise is that Tails is Sonic's landlord and Sonic is unable to pay the rent, so Tails basically helps Sonic find a lot of dubious jobs to earn money, each job taking place in a different game universe. What I like about the show is that it does have an overarching story and the episodes feel tied together with recurring characters and catchphrases.

 

The voice acting is superb and has me cracking up every episode.

I've seen this show to and I liked it

[Arby]

Reminds me of Comic Jumper's premise.

[Pinkie Pie]

The show is pretty good. I don't watch it regularly but from what I have seen it's simply hilarious.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah it is. Probably one of my favourite shows. Too bad the episodes are so short though.

New episode:

Senegua is quickly becoming my favourite character for being so fucking random! XD

[Psychotic Ninja]

I've tried it, just couldn't get into it.

[Koach]

I gave up on that ages ago.

[Mr. ShinyObject]

I've tried it, just couldn't get into it.

Same here. But this is what many say about MLP, so I'm willing to give it another shot.

I actually like this show, its one of the few shows on machinima I keep up with. Its not hilarious, but its passable. Certainly better then most of the trash on machinima. I like to listen to the bloopers at the end of each episode too

Like everything in the universe, with a few exceptions, the show was funny at first and has gotten progressively worse. I can't watch it anymore. It's just so, ugh.

That moment in the latest episode where Senegua, Soniqua or whatever, blurts out a whole sentence, was one of the moments that got me laughing so hard I nearly passed out...

I'm surprised people here watch this show. I mentioned it months back in the favorite machinima thread but no one seemed to be interested.

Personally I like the word play and some of the lowbrow comedy. It's really hit or miss but the hits are often hilarious.

btw Season 1 > Season 2

Yeah, agreed, though as mentioned, that last episode was hilarious.

So awesome XD

[J.C.]

It's a really good show. Since you posted this, I've watched all 3 seasons.

[WonSul]

So it's been a long time since the last season finished. I think the series might be over.

The new series by the same creators is Mega Man Dies At The End

Here's the trailer. Looks fun. Though more story based then Sonic4Hire.

I figure, same guys, same thread. Are you alright with that Sin?

[Alyxx Thorne]

We should make a new thread for the new series though.
