Plot[]

Sonic and Tails rush to the newsstand to pick up the month's new issue of their favorite comic, Crack Ups. Meanwhile, Scratch and Grounder have also obtained the new issue. Scratch and Grounder are so distracted by their comic that they are not paying attention to Dr. Robotnik as he introduces his new inescapable prison, "Robotnik's Rot-Your-Life-Away Dungeons". Dr. Robotnik grabs the comic away and is furious to find the main joke in the comic is an animated strip based on Humpty Dumpty starring Robotnik as the titular character. Outraged of being mocked by his egg-shaped physique, he orders Scratch and Grounder to capture the artist who drew the comic to be his first prisoner.

Scratch and Grounder easily capture the artist, a crazy bird by the name of Sketch Lampoon. Sonic, having just read the comic imitates Robotnik's act while cracking up hard suddenly hears the kidnapping of Lampoon on the radio, so they rushed to "Robotnik's Rot-Your-Life-Away Dungeons" to rescue Lampoon. As part of his plan, Sonic allows himself to be captured, but the plan backfires when Robotnik tells the hedgehog he built a super special prison just for him with lasers, spears and a spike ball that automatically shoot and smash anything that is hedgehog blue. Robotnik leaves Scratch and Grounder on guard while he goes and forces Sketch Lampoon to draw him handsomely with muscles in his new issue of Crack Ups.

Robotnik is furious at Sonic making fun of him, so he sends him to the cell for interfering to his plans once again. While imprisoned, Sonic pretends that he is reading next month's issue of Crack Ups that he claims Sketch Lampoon gave him. Wanting to see it, Scratch and Grounder open the cage and grabbed the issue. Sonic tapes a poster of himself on Grounder's back, stating that he may be a little taller, but they've got his hedgehog blue color just right. They realize it's this month's issue and Scratch notices the poster on Grounder's back. The spears, lasers and spike ball all attack Scratch and Grounder, then Sonic escapes.

Sonic and Tails then go around and set off all the security alerts, overloading the system. The Prison starts to crumble and fall apart. Sonic frees Sketch Lampoon and grabs Tails, as they race out of the prison (and Scratch and Grounder who also escape) just after it collapses. Dr. Robotnik is left on his back crying and yelling "I've fallen, and I can't get up!", exactly imitating his act in this month's issue of Crack Ups.

Sonic Says[]

Tails is stopped by Sonic just before spray-painting a public wall. Sonic gets a pair of canvases, paints a thumbs up and says it is art. Tails spray paints a Chili Dog on his canvas and shows Sonic. Sonic says "Now that's way past art."

Goofs[]

  • When Tails is seen reading the comic by the newsstand, the cover is blank.

Trivia[]

  • Both Sonic and Robotnik use the line "I've fallen, and I can't get up" in this episode. This line is one of the catchphrases of Steve Urkel from Family Matters, the signature character of Jaleel White who also does the voice of Sonic.
    • In the second Japanese dub, Youko Miyamoto's catchphrase "死ぬつもりよ!" ("I'm going to die!") is used, as Family Matters is not as iconic in Japan as it is in the US.
  • The voice Sonic uses in his surfer disguise is exactly the same as his brother Manic's in Sonic Underground.
  • Crack-Ups could be a parody of MAD Magazine.
  • The scene where Robotnik is instructing Sketch Lampoon on what to write in the magazine provides some insight on Robotnik's past, saying that sometime in his childhood, Robotnik restructured the DNA of his class's pet hamster, turning it into a tapeworm.
  • During one of the scenes where Sonic is activating one of the trapdoors, Sonic does an imitation of former Wheel of Fortune announcer Charlie O'Donnell (August 12, 1932 – November 1, 2010).
