Knuckles: Is that Tomatopotamus 2?!
Tails: That's the best one in the entire series! Tomatopotamus never worked in 3D.
Knuckles: Game companies always ruin their beloved franchises.
Sonic: They never should've changed the color of Tomatopotamus's legs.

This is more direct than the last jab at Chris from December.

complete episode

from sonic wikia

Sonic's criticism of the color change of Tomatopotamus' legs is a reference to the real-life backlash fans from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom demonstrated when Sonic's Sonic Boom counterpart was redesigned with blue arms instead of peach.

 

[Darndirty]

They could call out his name and address and Chris would probably not allow himself to believe they were talking about him.

 

[Zvantastika]

If there's 2 things Chris is good at is living in denial and being lazy. So I wouldn't expect Chris to address this clip by any, or both, reasons.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

Even if Chris saw the connection, I doubt he would care. Blatant stuff often doesn't bother him. It's trivial nothings that make Chris want to murder things.

 

[Huey Emmerich]

Damn, SEGA really like to acknowledge Chris.
At this rate, it won't even suprised me if their is a Chris easter egg in the next big sonic game.

 

[StraightShooter]

So Chris wasn't the only person making a scene about the stupid arm color change?

Then that means the "fans" are old enough to remember Sonic's arm colors from back in the 90s, yet are still playing crappy games like Sonic Boom which received only a 32% average score on Metacritic. Not even mentioning that the original Sonic games were never really that good to begin with:

Seems like Sonic and autistic manchildren must just have some kind of magnetic attraction, but I'm sure I'm not the first to observe this.

This show is so shitty and desperate. The CWC jokes are the only reason it's still relevant.

 

[Marvin]

Yeah, I don't think there's reason to say this is particularly about Chris.

 

[TheImportantFart]

How are the show's ratings doing? They must be desperate if they're hoping to attract CWC watchers.

I've only watched the episodes with the Chris Chan jokes, but I will say the show is definitely better than the crappy game it's based on, whatever that's worth.

actually, i was the game who was based on the show.
It was a game based on a show who was also based on a game.

Chris was just sort of our main window into what was one of the most autistic "movements" in geek culture history.

 

[Strelok]

Yeah this sin't about Chris, this is just the farms as usual seeing Sega mocking their more retarded fans and everyone assuming Chris.

Don't forget that long before chris got upset over arms, a large portion of the "adult" sonic fanbase got irationally angry over EYE COLOR.

 

[StraightShooter]

Yeah this sin't about Chris, this is just the farms as usual seeing Sega mocking their more exceptional fans and everyone assuming Chris.

Don't forget that long before chris got upset over arms, a large portion of the "adult" sonic fanbase got irationally angry over EYE COLOR.

Don't recall where I saw it, but I think in some video one of the Sega employees did make a brief "Sonichu" joke.

An "adult" fanbase who cares about the eye color in a character of a game not only intended for 7 year olds, but declared god-awful by nearly all professional critics - yep, says all you need to know...

How are the show's ratings doing? They must be desperate if they're hoping to attract CWC watchers.

Either that or they're poking their spergs hoping to drive up traffic on internet forums.

 

[Jetman]

How are the show's ratings doing?

Well for starters, they're airing new episodes on Boomerang, a digital channel not many people own. Not to mention the mere fact Cartoon Network is airing new episodes on a channel specifically designed to air shows that have long since ended production is baffling by itself.

Whenever a network like Cartoon Network (i.e. Nickelodeon) wants to burn off the remaining episodes of a show that they don't really want anymore, they'll dump it on a digital-only channel (i.e. Nicktoons) to little fanfare.

 

[Lurkman]

Literally the only way Sonic Boom will ever connect to an adult audience. (Besides curiosity, my reason for watching before the references)

To be honest, from what little I saw of the show, I didn't think it was that bad for a kid's show, and I liked that they actually made an attempt at pop-culture references similar to how the older Looney Tunes cartoons often did (though the references are heavily dated by today's standards).

Though I'm just comparing the Sonic show to most of the ADHD dreck that passes for kid's entertainment on channels like cartoon network or Nickelodeon anyway.

It's just generic kid's show nonsense with a few self-referential jokes thrown in every now and then because the writers are young enough to have had a large exposure to Sonic memes.

Chris watches it fairly often. Amusing since the blarms legitimately trigger him.
