Sonic Breakout (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)

"Sonic Breakout" is the sixth episode of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. Despite being produced as the sixth episode, it aired as the forty-second episode during the show's original run.

Plot
Dr. Robotnik introduces his new inescapable prison, "Robotnik's Rot-Your-Life-Away Dungeons". When Dr. Robotnik gets offended by a talking comic where the main joke in the comic is an animated strip based on Humpty Dumpty starring Robotnik as the titular character, he simply gets outraged at being mocked by his egg-shaped physique and orders Scratch and Grounder to arrest the comic writer as his first prisioner, a silly bird by the name of Sketch Lampoon. Since Sonic and Tails are big fans of his comics, Sonic has to save him.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The concept alone with Robotnik imprisoning a Mobian citizen out of fair use sounds like an interesting premise.
 * 2) Long John Baldry hamming up his performance as Robotnik, even more than usual, is extremely entertaining and hilarious to watch (e.g Robotnik being mad about the comic strip he just read as a prime example).
 * 3) The animation is vibrant, colorful, decently done, and wonderfully exaggerated as always.
 * 4) * This was one of the many episodes from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog that had memorable things to say about the style of its animation, some animation frames being well-remembered that includes a closeup of Robotnik twirling his mustache for example.
 * 5) ** One image shown below has become an internet meme ever since the "PINGAS" meme was still around.
 * 6) Much like another episode, it features some comedy that actually provides a laugh and pushes its wacky tone in full force.
 * 7) A large majority of the jokes contain a hilarious or cute sense of humor as well, Sketch Lampoon's humorous dialogue for example.
 * 8) The writing is very coherent and engaging, much to the point that it barely has anything inconsistent about what is being said, something an episode like Robotnik's Rival also did pretty well.
 * 9) Because of how the episode was executed, it is one of the most smooth, coherent, stylish, and fast-paced episodes in the whole series, and that is saying something.
 * 10) The Sonic Sez segment has a charming, well-written moral about how putting graffiti on walls to show artistic expression without permission isn't a good thing to do since it's both illegal and a sign of vandalism, and at the same time, encouraging kids that using graffiti on paper is a better thing to do when it comes to expressing art.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sketch Lampoon's loud and habitual silliness, while quirky and sometimes pretty amusing, can seem irritating to viewers.
 * 2) While the ending with Robotnik's comedic defeat before he says his favorite catchphrase is funny as always, the part when Robotnik childishly wails at the end like an absolute manchild can be somewhat lowbrow and still make you feel bad for his mentality at the same time, especially when his wailing can also be very grating to listen to.
 * 3) Some bits of dodgy animation and occasional animation errors, as to be expected from DiC's standards with AoStH.
