The Sonic For Hire Saga... So Far

Who stuck around for the sneak peak at the end? (Everyone skips to the end)

The fact this series has lasted years and still holds up is such a testament.

I remember watching this when I was younger and almost all of the jokes flew over my head. It truly deserves so much more appreciation now that I can understand the jokes.

This show aged like fine ass wine 🍷

Y'know, everyone calls Sonic an asshole in this, but throughout the whole series he still genuinely cares about his friends. Like Eggman, Tails, and Mario, have all screwed him over at least twice but he doesn't hold any grudge past that specific season (besides Tails in season 4)

Dude, I grew up watching the first and second season. Man I can’t believe this series is still holding up!!! Man only kids who grew up in the late 2000s and 2010s will remember this series was once owned by machinima, it’s so weird not seeing that intro

One of the best web series ever made. Seriously underrated. (Edit for those who got angry at me for saying this for some reason): To add context to my comment here, this series when it was released. It was released in like 2010 by a side channel of the defunct channel Machinima, and the viewership from what I remember was never extremely high despite the quality of the shows animation for a BRvid show at the time (Some episodes would struggle to hit 100K again, from what I remember but I could be wrong, but I always felt the numbers were low), this was due in part to how Machinima ran it's channel and it's contributors (The Machinima channel is a rabbit hole in of itself for bad ethics toward content creators). There was also a long period of time, where when the only way you could really watch this show was from re-uploads. And then a really bizarre twist when RoosterTeeth picked up the show for like one season after a pretty long time of inactivity which was the last season to air. I imagine this had something to do with contractual obligations (And why the show was switched to Hedgehog for Hire as it's title) that LowBrow couldn't upload this series sooner, and why the Machinima logo can still be seen in some episodes, because they are the only versions that basically survived all of this. It's just my opinion and this is all speculation, but that's why I think it's under-rated. The viewership it's getting now is what it deserved over 10 years ago and never received, even after all the BS the show and LowBrow had to go through.

This is the perfect series to sit to the side, go on the Lock Screen, and sleep while listening to the amazing jokes.

The quality on these is so on point that this could even be a series on a paid streaming server, easily one of the best fan made projects to ever exist

I honestly thought this beauty of series ended a long time ago like in 2015 And well I’m kinda glad it’s not cause just so many things can hopefully still happen after goes to college Even if it was delayed I am looking forward to it!

As someone who went through 20 jobs in the last 2 years, I feel immense relation to this story and the feelings it provokes. Long story short Ive had trouble finding a good fit and this helps me reflect and consider when I'm the problem in these situations. Thank you lowbrow for giving me inspiration to keep looking for a good fit.

I remember as a kid, downloading all the sonic for hires, editing them into a continuous video and uploading it so I could watch it all in one sitting, only for it to be immediately copyright struck lmao.

Never heard or saw this in my life until yesterday, and watched the whole thing in 2 days. Way to amass a 12-year old ongoing story in a single video. What an amazing piece of work

I've been waiting for something like this by the creators themselves for a looong time. There was no way I was gonna go digging around for EVERY last Sonic for Hire episode on my own! (Or would i...?)

I love that these are SOOOO much funnier for me now that I’m older and get the jokes past the first few episodes 😭 okay decided to watch this while tripping off acid and it was fucking BONKERS 😭 yeah I’ve watched this at least once every day since that initial comment, it’s like my comfort show at this point even tho it’s only 3 hours total 😭😭😭😭

This series saved me from depression back in the Machinima days. I'm just glad to see it's here on BRvid for all to see again.

I can't believe this series is less than 4 hours long. It feels much more longer and bigger in general. Truly majestic, like a crack rock the size of a fist.

You guys put together something great! Every second was awesome!

I can't believe how nostalgic I am for this. I remember watching all of this when I was like, 10 and i'm 21 now. God damn, this show is great.

A perfect series. Simply magical that it’s still going on.

1:08:13 I love that in the menu off knuckels there is a food called the cake is a lie which is a reverence to portal 1 and it just shows how much time and effort the put to make these series. Keep up the good work👍

This is freakin great. I love this series so much. I watched it years ago and fell in love with it. I love how Dorkly uses these voices in their videos as well too. I cant stand when the 8 bit spoof like things dont use these voices for sonic, eggman, or tails. The voice acting for them is perfect.

This goes to show that old BRvid videos, much less video game animations, are still funny to this day. Nice work!

27:18 this moment has stuck with me for years.

I love how Mario got so used to the nicknames that he one demanded one on the last job, and two tried to make his own and figured out how hard it was.

I was literally rewatching the seasons this morning, so this is a godsend! Here are some timestamps 00:12 Season 1 18:53 Season 2 41:03 Season 3 1:08:01 Season 4 1:34:27 Season 5 2:02:08 Season 6 2:33:35 Season 7 3:17:03 Season 8 3:44:08 Coming Soon: Season 9

Watching this is like jumping into a portal of the old internet. This show has and always will be quality

Always a joy to return to this and watch it from start to finish.

The more I re-watch this, I've got to say, Season 5 just sticks out as the best one, everything about Space is hilarious

This series will never get old!

Glad to see this series is still going on, remember discovering it back when it was owned by Machinima.

How could I forget about this??? Was so good when I had no idea what to watch as a kid Can’t wait to watch 3 hours of it now lessgoooo

This series was way funnier than it had any right to be. It's nice to come back and re-visit it after such a long while as an adult.

I've watched this series at least 4 dozen times. It's the best.

The best memory I have of this series is watching it in the back of my pops car, during yard sale season, then it rained. You youngin's don't know the weekly anticipation for new episodes. Where did the time go.

When I was around 8 or 10 most of these jokes flew over my head. A decade later I am now on my knees dying for air

I remember discovering the first episode back in 2020 and damn it’s still a masterpiece.

How can every scene and line in this be so perfect?

I downloaded what the series was up to and put it on an old iPad I had when I got put into the dcfs system. This shit really kept my spirits up and brings back old memories :).

everything about this series is great. i miss that internet era of true creativity.

I can watch this series over and over and never tire of it.

1:34:10 - 1:34:20 is probably the best voice delivery in the show.

This was hilarious and amazing, stuck around to the end and my god i cant wait for sonic goes to college

I watch this every week it’s a masterpiece

This started in 2010 right? Now its 12 Years old! Wow! thats a big milestone guys! Most series like this barely last 5 years let alone 1 or 2 but this was so well received and luved that it kept going and got funnier with Sonic's crazy drunken antics and tails's assholiness XD!!!!!!

Gotta love how this is almost longer then both sonic movies combined.

I've honestly lost count of how many times I've watched this series

This series is like the best thing to ever grace mankind. I don't care how repetitive it gets, I still love this series

This is honestly one of the best things available on BRvid these days

Back in the day when I myself felt lost and was looking for work I stumbled upon this gem. Never in my life was my soul so put at ease. Not feeling alone in regards to finding a purpose has been one of the best feelings I've ever experienced. Whenever I'm at this crossroad again this endless crossroad of looking for new beginnings, I always come back here to this series. Thank you so much Lowbrow Studios just wanted to say you help a big boring bloke out in rough times. Keep the dream alive folks!

Always come back to this once in a while, can’t wait for sonic college tuition!

i love how throughout all of the series sonic confuses coins with rings

Wow! The compilation came back? For good this time!? I remember watching this at least 3 times. I use to play it while playing video games. Fun times.

First time watching this, very cool. I'm not a huge sonic fan, but in the Esoteric Occult world he is collecting the Chaos Emeralds of Lucifer. It's very relatable to see him here down on his luck. He also liberates the captured animals as the Lucifer agenda is all about returning Earth to nature, and unfortunately involves a lot of depopulation along the way.

I literally forgot why I always say “Avocado” the way I do to this day. And it’s because of this series. So glad I found this today after all this time

Love this Sonic show. ❤️

Okay, So this show is clutch., One of the greatest pieces of art on the internet. Watched it as a dumb naïve kid and laughed. As a adult now understanding more humor, I was in hysterics the whole way through. Genius! Will become a patron! I need another season

"So far" implies that it's going to continue. PLEASE LET IT CONTINUE! Please I need Sonic goes to college.

God I remember watching this series when it first dropped it’s been so long since then, who else searched this up cause they suddenly remembered and got nostalgic?

Just as I'm thinking that Lowbrow should splice all of the seasons together, they pull through. You guys are fucking legends. Can't WAIT for Season 9!

i remember watching this back in the day and it still holds up though i relate to it much more now than i did back then

Every character in this show is so despicable I love it

This will always be the funniest videogame BRvid series it’s so elite

God I remember when theses where on machinma happy hour. Its nice to re visit them after all theses years.

I’m excited for Season 9! This series literally lives in my head rent-free

Timeless memory, thank you for this

Nice to see the mario arc, mob boss arc, tails arc, space arc, time travel arc, creator arc, and eggette arc all stitched together

I love how sonic barely recognizes other video game characters but everyone knows him

love this series even after 10 years animation goes without saying but the voice acting is amazing stuff

My little head cannons for Sonic Goes to College: 1. Sonic and the gang are all in the same dormitory room 2. Sonic ends up going into drinking and smoking parties instead of studying 3. Eggman and Jim starts a club involving drugs and deep fried food and tits 4. Tails being badmouth and bullied by jocks and upperclassman and nobody helps him 5. The entire crew ends up getting expelled for doing a bunch of fucked up stuff

godlike series as always. the entire series under one clippp!!!!

I spent 3 hours and 44 minutes and watched this amazing it was decently worth it

God this series was amazing, but i’m concerned about season 8 and 9. The show had such a satisfying conclusion but idk about college.

4:29 Well, that explains how he’s able to out run sonic back in the classic games (that and the confirmed workouts in the Twitter takeovers)

This is one of my favorite childhood youtube series, it taught me so much. How to cuss, how to rob a bank, how to become a mob boss. Things a 10 year old should know

Heard about this series back when I was a Freshman in high school. Thanks Lowbrow for all the sweet memories. 🤘👍🔥💖💖 Never Stop Growing!

I'm so Sad this Series is over, It was Good while it Lasted, Thank You, Lowbrow, for Creating a Amazing Series that has Probably Lasted Years. I first Saw Sonic For Hire Years ago, but I picked it back up when I watched the "The Sonic For Hire Saga... So Far" Video. So, Thank You and, Scroll down for a Suprise :) "LOOK'S LIKE EGGMAN ORDERED THE ' S P E C I A L ' SAUCE!" YOU JUST GOT " S P E C I A L " SAUCE'D!

34:16 Mario seems genuinely sad because he didn’t get a nickname

Jim is the real hero of the story. These voices are the ones in my head when I see sonic now

I’ve watched this about 3 times now and I’m not planning on stopping 🤩

I love how they utilized Game logic for the top filling thing. Sonic took that immunity because of it

9:39 "Blue Devil"? Is this where that nickname came from? Did they really reference Sonic for Hire in the Sonic Movie???

“Eggette” was based off of Eggman being upside down and hilarious to see the “sonic community” mistake that.

2:36:55 - Earthworm Jim was honestly more relatable than anyone else the entire series. Sometimes you just wanna have a good time, but that time has passed.

I remember being bored at my grandma's house and going on my mum's phone around 2013 or so, I found this on BRvid then and it is probably still my favorite parody animation ever.

1:46:16 would have to be my favorite moment in the series by far. don't. even. ask.

Tbh I was feeling a little sad when the voices sounded nothing remotely like the original characters but soon realized this is sonic behind the scenes and sometimes our heros are the most disgusting disappointing people, I evenly got used to it though

I love how Earthworm Jim is there but they made him more rational and sane than he canonically is.

This is still one of the best shows available on BRvid and arguably the best Sonic the Hedgehog TV series ever made.

For year's I couldn't find the full series and I'm so happy to see it back on youtube where it should be. Fuck Machinima

Easily one of the best things ever to grace the Internet

I can't ignore the "Machinima" logo, they had one of my favorite series, Happy Hour with Uncle Lue. I don't suppose you guys could ever bring that back?

1:35:05 "He's a giant evil space head!" "Hoho of course he is" **POW** 😂🤣 HahaH! that's al kinds of comedy right there! The randomness of that hit's timing, and the fact that Tails is to blame for why they're there again, combined with the irony of Sonic ending up being "for hire" once again, cept in space, after all that's happened so far, inexplicable comedic perfect. I laughed out loud at several moments so far but that last felt most genuine. Like whether or not you agree with the dynamic that's at play or ought to be at play with these two, whether the last season even happened or not, you know that Tails just deserved it! 1:35:09 😂

Link is my favorite lol he really carried every scene he was in

I was exactly 20 minutes in when I realized this is 3 hours long. Freaking hilarious

Ah the nostalgia. . . Thx for the childhood man

What I love about this version is that you can understand Andros and el Padrino. In the og version you couldn't hear anything they said...it was really annoying

Soniqua saying “AVOCADO” never fails to make me laugh. Thank you for making this a thing, and keep it up, Lowbrow!

2:37:56 allow me to totally obliterate this scene by elaborating on why it is actually a joke. This is funny because in the beginning of the series, by ironic-design Sonic is meant to be hired to do some odd job in other video games than his own except the gag is that by the end of each episode plot conflict, as resolution things get screwed, and typically someone usually ends up randomly killed or generally shot by Sonic. When he says "this just feels right" he doesn't mean right in the sense of morally correct but right as and this is just how things are supposed to go here. Made even funnier by how the others can totally agree for a first (cept Eggman who doesn't get it) having been with Sonic throughout all his previous mischief and find everything normal with a main character who was supposed to be saving their universe/game suddenly unable to do so thanks to Sonic.
