10 funniest moments in Sonic the Hedgehog movies

Sonic’s first police car ride (Sonic The Hedgehog, 2020)

In the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie, Sonic sits in a police car with Tom Wachowski.

Tom feels confused because this blue creature suddenly appeared. Sonic asks questions like, “So where are we going now?” and “Are you a real police officer?” He also acts wild and childish while looking out the window.

This moment clearly explores Sonic’s innocent side and gives the movie a playful start.

Sonic's bucket list (Sonic The Hedgehog, 2020)

Halfway through the first film, Sonic makes his “bucket list” of things he wants to do before he dies. The paper is old and crumpled, like something a kid would tuck into his pocket.

The list includes strange items: ride in a truck, get into a bar fight, live like a cowboy for the day. As Sonic reads down the list, he seems eager to do all those things immediately.

Tom observes and smiles, but he is also worried because Sonic is courageous yet still just a kid at heart. When Sonic reads this list to Tom, the audience sees that this blue hero is all about childlike dreams.

Bar fight in slow-motion (Sonic the Hedgehog, 2020)

This movie features a thrilling bar fight. Sonic and Tom enter a bar, and things escalate quickly. As the fight breaks out, Sonic mocks everyone in his super-speed slow motion.

When a punch comes for him, Sonic reverses his hand and spills someone’s drink on their face. Flipping hats and foam on the mustache—those little moments strike just the right balance between superhero action and comedy.

Doctor Robotnik's dance (Sonic the Hedgehog, 2020)

Dr. Robotnik allowed Jim Carrey to use funny faces and movements like no other villain in cinematic history.

For example, at a particularly awkward moment, he suddenly starts dancing alone in his high-tech lab, showing off and celebrating his invention. Usually, bad guys only seem to act serious, but Carrey puts so much into Robotnik.

Sonic's mischief on the streets of London (Sonic the Hedgehog 3, 2024)

In the third Sonic movie, Sonic and his friends travel to London for something very important. But Sonic stays playful. Suddenly, he puts on a crown and walks down famous Abbey Road.

Then he calls out the names of the Beatles: “Paul, John, George… and the other one!” After that, he makes a funny joke about forgetting Ringo Starr. This joke surprises everyone.

Tom’s in-laws’ wedding (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 2022)

In this movie, Maddie’s sister Rachel’s wedding takes place in Hawaii. What at first seems like a nice family event soon turns out to be a cover for a G.U.N. operation.

No surprise here, but the revelation shocks everyone, particularly Rachel, whose temper tantrums are a treat in the film. With the guest confusion, Tom’s strange attempts to cover up and the further overblown drama that follows provide one of the film’s most humorous moments.

Knuckles' simplicity (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 2022)

Knuckles appears in the movie’s sequel as a tough character, but he really doesn’t understand how people live.

He asks odd questions, like how people even eat or what friendship means. He keeps a serious face, but his eyes still look curious, almost like a kid seeing new things for the first time.

---

Shadow's "Revenge Guac" (Sonic the Hedgehog 3, 2024)

One of the most well-known characters, Shadow, does not talk much and stays quiet and serious most of the time. But then something funny happens. Stone asks him if he wants guacamole. Immediately, Shadow replies with a straight face, “Revenge guac.” He doesn’t even smile. This is funny because he says something silly but looks very serious.

---

Tails and Sonic's friendship (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 2022)

Tails is first introduced to Sonic in the second film. Their first conversation in the movie is hilarious.

We see Sonic up to his usual mischief, and Tails responds sincerely. Tails’ surprise, Sonic’s fun, and the chemistry between these new friends are heartwarming and hilarious to the audience.

Jokes even during the final fight (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 2022)

Even in the second film’s climax, where Dr. Robotnik is busy wreaking havoc with a giant robot, Sonic doesn’t hold back on the jokes.

In this final face-off, we see that even when times are tense, Sonic is still throwing around funny lines at Knuckles or Tails. Even in an epic battle scene, the humor isn’t lost and builds toward a more significant climax.

More funny moments

In the first movie, we see Sonic trying to play baseball alone. He runs so fast that the entire field is filled with him, and by the end, he gets tired of high-fiving himself.

Similarly, the competition between Sonic and Knuckles to slide down a snowy hill lightens the moment. When Sonic suddenly pretends to be a “hero” and makes a mess of Tom’s house, there is still a burst of laughter.
