Aight I'm gonna come clean here, since I'm getting fucking tired of seeing all the same hate comments all the time. I followed the fourth wall break page from the wiki and went from there (I did add a couple of my own though mind you). Happy? Don't go blaming me for how "shit" this is.
If y'all think you can make a better compilation then go ahead. I'll wait. And try not stealing my clips if you go for it lol.
I mean it kinda isn’t plagiarizing since it’s just going off of a wiki page but ok
@HotAnimeBabe99541 What Hyper_2 said. Pretty much all the clips here are mine (the gameplay ones at least), and only copied the wiki page's ideas. Not saying other people can't use the wiki or take a snippet of a cutscene.
@HotAnimeBabe99541 it's not plagiarism if he went and got/made/recorded his own footage. Tahts not how that works. If you see on a calculator that 2+2 Is 4 is that plagiarism to the calculator?
@@hyper_extra4849 sorry wrong person lol
@Viv Stump Mostly just "lol most of these aren't even fourth wall breaks" basically
Which ok, fair enough, but at least respect I put some good work into the vid. Just kinda makes me feel shit when there's so much of the same.
Because Sonic Boom's Fourth Wall breaks deserve their own video.
Agreed
Exactimundo.
You WANT a hour long video?
Thats a exaggeration, but seriously there HAS to be a lot between the games ands shows.
100000 hours of sonic boom
@@thedailybrowser5951 well the title does say games
i love amy's advance idles. shes literally trying to call out to you, but you cant hear her
That’s a wholesome moment
"Hey!...d'oh...HEEEEYWEGOTTAGETMOVIIIIING HEEEEEEY"
The Advance/Battle sprites in general are reallyy good. No wonder alot of people like using them for Sprite animations. But yeah Amy's idles are very adorable.
@T1122
Cartridge size limitations, probably.
@@justcallmekai1554 I just wish people didn’t hate Amy! 😢😢
4:32 Okay, Amy trying her darndest to get your attention is actually kinda cute.
Inr
“Hurry up and play the damn level, i’m freezing to death out here!”
To put it simply, every Sonic character is aware that they’re being watched-
1:15 kills himself
@@megamaggotman7025 actually just leaves the planet, remember he can't take fall damage
@@sonsonthegoddessofconfusio3183 but if there is no terrain he'll die
Sonic 3 he lookes at the camera snaps fingers then gestures to get going
@@megamaggotman7025 Tru but the game did imply he just jumps off of the small planet
19:32 the way he looks into the camera and free falls is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a black hedgehog
This needs more likes
his swagger was... greatly exaggrated
Shadow is at a level of chill we could all aspire to in that moment.
What game is that ty.
@@j.c.2240 Honestly
I like the Sonic Advance one, Amy gives it her all, while Tails is just being nice and Sonic and Knuckles are just, "can we move this along?"
knuckles is like "you forgetting something"?
She’s just “HEEEEEEYYY!! CMON YOU CANT LEAVE ME ALONE LIKE THIS!!!!!”
If you look closely, it looks like sonic says “TIMER” and knuckles says “HEY!”
@@universalatox1989 ah yes. i can see sounds.
@@AymenZero Lip reading is a thing, y'know?
Wait, Rouge actually looks at you and winks in Sonic Heroes!? I actually didn’t know that!?
Same
I was so Shock and Confuse at the same time like what!?
I REMEMBER THIS!!!!
This unlocked a memory of me staring at her in first person for a bit and seeing this. So. Fucking. Cool.
We’ve all been there😂
Fun fact: Snake in Brawl has the same voice actor as Dr. Eggman in Japan. That's why he doesn't like Sonic.
Why does snake hate sonic tho
Wait, really? That explains the dialogue! Now I get it!😆
Actually, Snake's JP voice actor is _the son_ of Eggman's JP voice actor... or his old one, anyway (rest peacefully, Chikao Ohtsuka).
@@amandaclaireon4065 Probably something to do with snakes not liking hedgehogs in real life.
@@A-1412 but snake is a person 😦
People:"Deadpool is the person to break the fourth wall the most!"
Sonic:"U sure about that buddy?"
And I show up like "Did someone say fourth wall breaking?!"
@@pinkie723
Sans in the Corner:
*no one here recognizes I'm fourth wall breaking.
@@thedailybrowser5951 just imagine. Your playing the genocide route and Sans just goes "Hello there ______ " and just appears behind you
@@germex1837 Dear lord, that would be more intimidating then what we got.
...not to say what we got wasn't intimidating, but it makes more of a impact.
@@thedailybrowser5951 Flowey actually breaks the wall more than Sans
11:33 this introduction to Sonic in Subspace fucking made me go nuts as a kid
6:21 idk how she’s able to rail grind while waving at you so happily…but that is adorable and amazing as all get out
She is just so happy that she is grinding on a rail. She is like "Look at me I am grinding on a rail!" Just so proud of herself it's amazing
@@sneakysileny absolutely ^^
My first Sonic game…oh, I really do miss the good old days.
I'm pretty sure she's waving because she's afraid that she'll fall
@@tailpig6417 really?
My favorite fourth wall break is Rouge the Bat looking at you in Sonic 06.
She also does it in sonic hero's as well
The wink or the one when she's on the phone?
@@ritaandrunt5767
When she stopped Shadow the Hedgehog and Omega and phewed at the camera.
Rouge is love
Rouge is life
@@ritaandrunt5767 And Sonic Forces, too.
In S1 and S2, sonic is just being a bit inpatient, but in S3&K he’s just like “oh hey I’ve got an idea, Move the fuck forward!”
Especially his idle animation in Sonic CD where if you leave him alone for about 3 minutes, he'll jump off the screen saying "I'm outta here"( the voice line isn't in Sonic Origins for some reason but the animation itself is)
4:03
"Huh?"
"What are you doing" or "Not again.."
*Sigh*
"Hey man. Look at the time. You had to be fast dude!"
4:13
"Ah"
"I don't know where to go"
"But I think you need to move me there!"
4:23
"huh?"
"oh C'mon!"
4:35
"Hello!"
"Um. We should go that way"
"They can't hear me?"
"Hmmph! I need to say louder!"
"HEY. WAKE UP!!!"
18:55 That little face Sonic made when he said "maybe" had me laughing 🤣
19:20 _"...the way he leaps off of rooftops and flips backwards to face the camera before falling into a headfirst dive it's just full of the exaggerated swagger of an anthropomorphic hedgehog teen."_
Sonic’s casual “did I fall on him?” in Unleashed feels so genuine, like he’s just as uncertain about the situation as we are
Man I wish they continued the Sonic boom tv show, personally liked it a lot.
They should have
It was hated when it was first released
@@kujakubes241 you stick to you but I thought Eggman Being a Personal Joke while sonic Hating His own life because he is tired of the same shit is Pretty funny atleast to me well I just realized IM VERY slow cuz I read that as "I didn't like the show"
@Rae Airadne same here.
So we just gonna forget about Sonic X just like that???
1:16 "Do you wanna die"
"Yes I do"
"Wait what"
"See ya, TAKE ME SWEET DEATH"
Bro are you flirting with my sister
Lol
I'M OUTTA HERE
jesus christ the eggman scream at 13:00 is amazing
I love how you had to clarify there's no Sonic Boom since that show is full of 4th wall breaks
and besides the fourth wall breaks of sonic boom are in the cartoon.
@@skygamer3440 true
It is fourth wall breaks
@@NoreoeroN that's what we said
Also it's not a game.
11:58 One of the biggest fourth wall breaks in Sonic
That Rouge's blink was totally unexpected!
6:31 wouldn’t Rouge technically be looking at Shadow, not the player, since you entered into a first-person view of Shadow
Not really, since Rouge and Omega are mechanically always behind Shadow, not in front of him. So when he turns, they move behind him as well.
@@whaleping ohh
maybe shadow has to move a bit for them to turn around? idk i never played this game i wouldn’t know how it works
This comment gon make our boy Knux cry 😔😭
@@emeraldflower921 wdym?
@@Silvero_o he means knuckles and rouge are a couple, a popular fan ship, but i always thought shadow and rouge are a better romantic pair
Sonic Spinball has text boxes on the top of screen during Sonic's idle animations that will say stuff like "Yo! Anybody home?"
9:22
Fun fact for those who don't know, that used to be Sega's old slogan!
"Welcome to the Next Level"
I was aware of that
6:36
This matches so well with the music.
The "Pew! Pew" one definitely matches. Perfect.
9:04
Sonic: :)👍
Shadow: >:(👍
Damn, Rouge winking at you is pretty smooth
I'd argue a lot of these aren't fourth wall breaks. Just because they look directly at the camera doesn't mean they look at US. For example, the character introductions in Shadow the Hedgehog. The camera angle in these is clearly what Shadow sees. So it's more like a first person camera angle than a 4th wall break. I don't think anyone would argue that when someone looks at you in a first person shooter they are breaking the 4th wall...
A shooter would be different because a shooter is online people while this is coded in, in a shooter it’s the point of the game. but in this it would be breaking the fourth wall because they are talking to or symboling something to the player.
But in the advance games they're literally waving their hands and speaking towards you so ehh
Agreed. A big example is in Sonic Heroes he shows Rouge wink at the camera. I don't know if that was just to make it easier to see, but if the way it was framed is a requirement, now you have Shadow staring at her for a prolonged period of time.
Another few I had a problem with was using terms that people, or gamers at the very least, put into their mannerisms. As they're from a video game, it becomes more of a pun as opposed to breaking the fourth wall.
@@reigjinokou7035 Wait that moment in Heroes is from a first person perspective? I thought it was like usual, 3rd person, and she just winked at the camera. Huh,
yeah
19:02 id one of my favorites
Maybe.
9:00
Here you forgot that Amy also makes a "peace and love" symbol with her hand for us as she looks at the screen and runs along.
1:29
Metal Sonic is all like:
No no no you can't go through that door yet
6:32 she knows why we're zooming in..
As a huge Sonic nerd, I never actually knew how many fourth wall breaks this franchise had lol
I really love the one in Generations where Classic Tails asks Modern Tails where someone puts all those gold Rings.
i guess anytime the characters question Rings in general makes me chuckle.
🤓
0:57 tails isn’t breaking the fourth wall he’s breaking the air wall
3:38 Sonics hand disappears
He's trying to get to Princess Toadstool's hot tub party. Poor kid doesn't realize he's in the wrong series for that.
@@devonm042690 😂
For Sonic Advance 2, you just have to hold up to get the idle animations
I mean honestly, Sonic is such a cocky and self-aware character it makes sense he does this. He’s just too cool to let even you ignore him.
3:17 that overscan as tails renders in is wild
5:46 "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, MY SUPER LAZER PI- oh no oh wait it's starting to break DAMNIT I CAN'T PISS ANYMORE"
"Should have taken DayQuil!"
7:18 tails trying to find the bitches sonic doesnt have
never knew about the rouge wink one
You’ll be surprised of what you can discover
I know Rouge is meant to be a kind of self character, but the wink was adorable lol
yeah
“im outta here” casually suicides
*Oh Okay Sonic*
0:58 I love how Tails is walking away from Sonic as he stands perfectly still.
My brother wouldn’t play Sonic Heroes again because of the “Scary Bat Girl Wink”.
I’m sorry
Younger or older?
@@JoaoGa210 It didn’t matter. He just saw that wink and from what I remember he just immediately ran away from the living room LOL.
LOMA
Man got trauma from furries since his early age, god bless 🙏
1:45 the meme potential here is insane
0:25 The ways Sonic just looks at you like "Now I can't do my thing with the emeralds AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, get this right the next time bro"
i love how in advance, sonic is like "go. go. dumbass just go.
This part just fills me with joy for some reason 0:15
This part is just scary tho: 1:17
The sonic CD one isn't,unless it's the US version.
It’s been 2 years I don’t remember this comment
Amy deadass just speaks to the fourth wall casually
Sonic basically saved everyone from certain death in brawl
He didn't do much, he just broke his wings which Tabuu could easily regrow during battle
So, it's not a canon event
Sorry
@@egeparlak8004 Meh the cast would be cooked if sonic don't break the wing so he still saved them
The advance series ones are so amazing. They even talk to you and all 😔👌🏻💙
i like how Sonic's just like 'Let's go!'
Tails is like 'Hm? We need to go this way.'
Knuckles is just '*Sigh* Come on.'
Amy is trying to get your attention.
Okay but Cream waving at you in the Advance games is the cutest thing ever.
Especially cute but dangerous because she does it while grinding on a rail!! 😉😉🤗🤗❤❤❤😮😮😮
What have we learned today: Sonic Characters are extremely impatient
13:19 did you make this whole video just to flex your S Rank in Eggmanland
“AW YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT BABY!” -Sonic The Werehog
1:16
POV:Sonic has been waiting for you since 5 hours ago
I like how at 19:08 after everyone raises their hand Sonic looks at the viewer as if they were also raising their hand
Cream is too cute and adorable cuteness overload
I love it when she smiles and waves at the players while grinding... 👍😊🤗😍❤💖😇
Protect the bunni
Holy crap, they've been doing this ever since they were born! Sonic will always be a memorable franchise.
10:12 Why did I think that Rouge was going to talk to the camera saying, "Think you've seen enough?" Or something similar like in Tomb Raider?
Probably because you knew about Tomb Raider and your brain made the connection. You answered your own question here.
Has anyone watched the "Sonic Twitter Takeover" vids? There's your biggest sign that the Sonic franchise has indeed known about life *outside* (the 4th wall).
6:25 EXCUSED ME?! I've played Sonic Heroes since the beginning, and this is literally the first time I'm seeing this!😆Also, the Sonic Advanced series always had the cutest idle animations in my opinion, I low-key always loved holding up and watching Cream eat ice cream in Advanced 2.
And Cheese hovering around her like "I want some!" 😭
10:42 that's probably not a fourth wall break. Could just be them checking who is behind them (other racers). I mean Sonic looks back when Amy is near.
It probably isn’t because y’know how they do that in like racing games whenever they pass someone?
Now sonic games: “Hey hello player!”
Sonic before: “I’m out of here!”
*[proceeds to traumatized your child]*
@Marcelo Teixeira Ruggeri is it did to me as a kid
Plays the English version's game over theme
19:30 wtf Even shadow makes the chill un the air lol
19:37 wait, the custom character has idle animation but sonic doesn't?
Character looks at the screen
Penguin: HES BREAKING THE FORF WALL
1:19 "I'm outta here!"
So... If you don't go long enough, you just lose? Wow, gotta go fast is a threat...
I really like how in the 3d games
Sonic looks at your score and reacts about it
I love how CD Sonic just says: “I’m outa here!” Then jumps out of the map.
6:48
"This must be the final stage 🤨"
"IS THAT IT?! 😱"
"Not really boys 😢"
16:37 Classic Sonic vibin' to the background music XD
7:26 Tails wants Sonic to turn back for some extra rings
“Metal sonic with the finger” worded SO good
I wouldn’t call some of these 4th wall breaks but it sure is a fun compilation of games!
at 7:01 fourth wall break is just sonic calling you creep
He was calling Metal Sonic/Overlord the creep
I think it's funny how in SA1 the characters sing their own song at their endings
They're not. They're actually just having a dialogue but you can't hear them over the music. You can tell this is the case because in the full cutscenes for each ending the character's mouths only move during some random parts of the song and not the whole thing, implying that it's actually unrelated to the song.
@@HOTD108_ That's odd
16:02 oh my gosh i love how happy he is. he's so excited! 😁 🤗🥰 lol
Sonic is like : "Anytime now."
Rouge: I need to contact Omega immediately.
Also Rouge: turns to look at the camera like she's on the office
I remember playing the first sonic game on the list and always finding it funny whenever sonic would look at us like "ehem, hello? C'mon! Hurry!"
4:01
Sonic : GO UP
Tails: please just press left please
Knuckles( mocking you): oh look at me im just being a biiiiiig jerk!
Amy: hey heeeeeeyyyyyy hmm maybe they can't hear me
Also amy : HEEEEEEYYYYYY HEEEEEEYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--
Tails is just a polite, sleepy boy and I adore him
I like how Amy in sonic advance 1 is just shouting at you.
This made me smile.
Thank You.
0:42 this but he has a gun.
15:43 is probably my favorite sonic fourth wall break-- it's so unnecessarily funny LMAO
Appear toy sonic the hedgehog breaks the 4th wall more than a single dead pool or rare game.
15:04 Wait what the heck, I had no idea there was an idle animation of Sonic talking on the phone. I'm assuming this is only in the Mobile version?
Nah he was listening to music
The one that we were hearing
This is the iPod version. I have this
The advance ones are my favorite, very charming
Snake: I just don´t like Sonic...
Shadow hearing this: Agree.
Me: . . . Nice XD
6:17 i think you have to hold the up button for the idle in advance 2 🤔
6:53 "Don't let your guard down!"
Says the one who got hit
He's just warning charmy and espio
1:09
Sonic: **waits**
Tails: **I N T E N S E M O O N W A L K**
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
Smol fox
*Yawns*
This really never chaught my attention when I was younger but now that I'm older I really notice how major of a fourth wall break this is
5:12 Ruff ruff iam a dog
0:57
Yo Tails, everything okay?
Also, I liked that you had to clarify that you weren't gonna include Sonic Boom, or else that would have probably added another 30 minutes to the video
Tails: Wonderful! All my moves are coldly calculated.
according to my calculations, IM FU__ING MOONWALKING!!!!!!!!
“Curse you Sonic, what did I tell you about breaking the fourth wall?!”
“Relax Doc. There actually _needs_ to be a fourth wall before it can be broken.”
lmao
0:57 i love how tails is just kinda doing his own thing in the corner lol
