With Luz's group; they were at the park sitting at close park benches.
"So far, no tigers were successful at being put to sleep due to belly rubs." said Luz.
She then sighed and sat down.
"The only option we have now is Incineroar, and he didn't want to have his belly rubbed." said Luz.
"So what now?" said Amity.
"Now we just give up this crusade, call Soar, and have him get someone else to do the stunt." said Luz.
Everyone groaned in annoyance.
But then Sonic appeared groaning.
Everyone noticed him.
"Hey Sonic, what's up?" said Marcy.
"Not much, I've got some good news and bad news." said Sonic, "Which do you want to hear first?"
"Bad." said Yakko.
Everyone glared at the Warner.
"What, we've already had a bad day." said Yakko.
"Well, I spent several hours with Jude, and he and I ate some brownies which I now realize were drugged, and we've been watching some strange cartoons and shows." said Sonic.
"What strange cartoons?" said Dot.
Sonic looked around his body before grabbing a piece of paper that was taped to his back and looked at it.
"A 1943 Walt Disney short about Chicken Little with a twisted dark ending, cartoon called Lucky Fred, Clone High, Huckleberry Hound, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the Thief and the Cobbler film; the Miramax films version with Matthew Broderik, 60's Spider Man show, the 1966 Batman show, Three Stooges. Sheesh Jude watches strange stuff, possibly half those things the co author hasn't even heard of." said Sonic.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Never eat one of Jude's things of baked goods." said Anne.
"And the good news?" said Luz.
Sonic chuckled.
"Oh, the good news is really interesting." said Sonic.
"There's now a vaccine for the virus?" said Yakko.
"No." said Sonic.
"Chadwick Boseman recorded some episodes for the Disney Plus show Marvel's What If?" said Wakko.
"No." said Sonic.
"Ooh, ooh, I know, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon are making a Ren and Stimpy reboot without the original creator's involvement." said Dot.
"No." said Sonic.
"The CW is making their own Powerpuff Girls show for older audiences?" said Ollie.
"No." said Sonic.
"Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII is the new Super Smash Bros Ultimate is the eighth DLC fighter?" said Marcy.
"You're just mentioning things that you read about weeks ago." said Sonic, "And I'm still worked up about possibly battling Sephiroth in another Smash Tournament and the Ren and Stimpy reboot."
Amity thought of something.
"So if I'm guessing correctly, the good news has nothing to do with anything else, it's possibly about the glory hog blue hedgehog. Considering that, I'd say the good news involves Netflix and Sonic having worked out a deal to make a new TV show about our blue friend for their streaming platform." Amity said sarcastically before chuckling, "But what're the odds of that happening?"
Amity started laughing like Squidward with her eyes closed.
"How'd you know?" said Sonic.
Amity was still laughing before stopping and opened her eyes in shock as glass breaking sounds were heard.
"You've got to be kidding me." said Amity.
"Nope, very true. Supposed to be released on 2022." said Sonic.
Chiming and vibrating sounds were heard and everyone who had a smartphone pulled them out and looked at them.
"Twitter post about Sonic the Hedgehog show being made by Netflix and Sega taken off the site after being leaked by mistake." said Marcy.
"You should see that PSA video I made about streaming platforms." said Sonic.
Flashback
Sonic wearing a business suit and standing in front of a black background cleared his throat.
"Hello, I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog, and I'm here to talk to you about streaming sites. Sites like Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, Apple TV, and HBO Max are nothing but their rightful owner's attempts to make a quick buck by way of offering monthly subscriptions for those who prefer online streaming over cable tv or satellite. So do everyone a favor, and ignore the need to stream away your bandwidth for online data, and stick with the old way to watch TV shows or movies, cable, satellite, or buy DVD's and or blu-rays." said Sonic.
But then a huge display check was pushed next to him and the hedgehog noticed it.
"Here's your royalty check for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog show on Netflix you fucking sellout." said an off screen man.
Sonic smiled and tore off the business suit, revealing a black T-shirt with the Netflix logo on it before taking the check and smiled to the camera as a huge pile of money shaped like the Netflix logo appeared behind him.
"But it's okay when I get a show on a streaming platform, because I know I'm selling out, and Netflix has a good track record for shows based off of video games. Take a look at Castlevania, Pokemon, and the upcoming show based off the Cuphead video game." said Sonic.
End Flashback
"Yep, I sold out. I deserve to be part of the Streaming Platform Sellout's club." said Sonic.
"And you went with Netflix because?" said Anne.
Sonic turned to the Thai-American girl.
"Because the Warner Brothers and Sister beat me to Hulu." said Sonic, "Now what's going on?"
The whole story came out and Sonic was annoyed.
"Seriously, you tried to rub a tiger's belly just for a car?" said Sonic.
"And a phone, it was all about the new iPhone 12 Pro Max for me." said Luz.
"That's just stupid." said Sonic.
He ran off before returning with Incineroar's Pokeball and tossed it in the air, releasing the fire type tiger starter.
"How exactly can you put a tiger to sleep by rubbing it's belly?" Sonic said before rubbing Incineroar's belly, "That'll never work, it'll more then likely just piss them off to attack us, not put them to sleep because of some urban myth. Where's the fucking logic in that?"
Everyone else became shocked.
"Uh, Uncle Sonic." said Andy.
"WHAT!?" yelled Sonic.
Everyone pointed to Incineroar.
Sonic turned to the tiger and became shocked as he saw that Incineroar had fallen asleep while standing up.
Everyone was filming it with their phones.
"Good thing we started recording when he started petting Incineroar's belly." said Bugs.
Interview Gag
"Son of a bitch, I just proved that an urban myth is true." said Sonic.
End Interview Gag
The next day; Sonic was in a studio next to Soar the Eagle while the film of Sonic petting Incineroar's belly was shown on a TV before turning off.
"And there you have it, a tiger being put to sleep after having his belly rubbed, done by not Luz Noceda, but famous hero Sonic the Hedgehog." said Soar, "Done from many angles."
The studio audience cheered.
"I'm not to proud of that embarrassing moment, I tried to prove it was false." said Sonic.
Soar looked at a table with three judges who were talking amongst themselves.
"But it seems like the judges are debating the outcome. While Incineroar maybe a tiger, it is technically a Pokemon. One rule is if the stunt in question had a technicality of some sort, then there's to be a two out of three vote to see if either the contestant wins or loses." said Soar.
The judges finished talking to each other and turned to Soar.
"And we've got a final outcome, let's see how the judges voted." said Soar.
The judges each gave a thumbs down.
The entire audience groaned in annoyance.
"Well that was a waste of my fucking time. I quit." said Soar.
He bent down and picked up some suitcases before walking off.
The audience walked off in disgust as well.
"That was a terrible outcome." said an audience member.
The judges walked off.
Sonic just shrugged it off and sat down on a chair and pulled out his phone before he began playing Sonic Racing.
"Not like the co author would have given a better outcome by choice if he weren't pissed." said Sonic.
He paused the game before going to the home menu.
"Well, better get myself a chili dog from Dairy Queen." said Sonic.
But then lots of angry chanting, fighting, breaking, and screaming sounds were heard.
Then the severed heads of the judges were rolled over to Sonic.
The hedgehog noticed it.
"No way I'm going to be responsible for this." said Sonic.
He dialed 911 on his phone before putting it to his ear.
"Yeah, I'd like to report a murder. An angry mob from a studio audience just rolled three severed heads over to me." said Sonic.
Soon cops arrived.
In the recording room; Pinky and the Brain were watching the whole thing shocked.
"Rats, my world domination plan to make a gameshow with no winners was a failure." said Brain.
"You should have went with one that always has a winner." said Pinky.
Brain growled before he began walking off.
"Come Pinky, we must return to Toon Manor and plan for tomorrow night." said Brain.
"Why, what're we doing tomorrow night?" Pinky said while following his best friend.
Brain turned to Pinky.
"The same thing we do every night Pinky, try to take over the world." said Brain.
"They're dinky, they're Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain." a corus sang.
