Sonic For Hire

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.

Reminds me of Comic Jumper's premise.

"That which you do not know, is not a moral charge against you; but that which you refuse to know, is an account of infamy growing in your soul. Make every allowance for errors of knowledge; do not forgive or accept any breach of morality."

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 :)

"HLPrincess: Also, I'm very proud we have Batman Himself on the Forum."

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.

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 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.
