In all seriousness, Sonic rocks! Their cream-slushes are to die for.

I'm impressed to see even this level of subtlety in a video game video.

Ha! I wonder if they realize that everything they said about the fast food place 'Sonic' also applies to the videogame franchise Sonic the Hedgehog? That's so weird how that works!

I dunno, I just didn't find this funny, especially when I got the joke before a single word was spoken.

Sonic is pretty terrible, the food joint I mean. It's by far some of worst fast food next to mcdonalds.

Cherry cream slushes kick the shit out of any other fast food anything, anywhere. If anyone disagrees I'll kick them in the fact while drinking one.

Mega64 makes better videos when they aren't screwing with other people. Even though no one approached them, they were easily within earshot of other customers. When they have the freedom to do whatever in isolation they are much more creative.

This is the Mega64 I love. Complete with crazy random ending.

@kylamity

i agree. i dont actually think they are that good at messing with random people as well (compared to other shows/webisodes that do it). i usually skip those vids altogether.

when they're not doing that, they are fricken hilarious tho

@Kamlon

I wouldn't call the ending RANDOM. As someone who has passively followed both Weezer and Sonic over the years, I can tell you that they amount to essentially the same thing in their respective forms of entertainment.

Mega 64 is basically a US version of Remi Gallard. And thats a Good thing. I wish they made a Bioshok one haha

Also Weezer is a terrible horrible band that was never good ever like 98% other mainstream bands

@Corey: Pinkerton was amazing, Maladroit and Blue Album decent, but good. Everything else has been pure shit, over and over. Stonedfox has it down.

<3 how unsubtle that video is. Granted, I'll always be a Sonic fanboy, but I can't wait to see people nerdrage all over this video on youtube.

But as per the discussion of the actual food joint... it's such a mixed bag, no? I never wake up and think "Ya know, I can't make hamburgers with toast at home, let's go to Sonic!" I know it's an old-time feeling they're trying to evoke, but blerg. Drinks kick ass from time to time, however.

I disagree with the video, but it was still fucking hilarious. Good "subtle" humor is so hard to find these days...

That's a great metaphor, I loved it...

... But why does Weezer come in at the end? :/

I watch their podcast and they believe Weezer hasn't done anything good for a few albums. I understand their point because the blue album and Pinkterton we're epic but I still enjoy what they put out.

This is pretty funny to me because Sonic is actually really new to Minnesota (like, we just started to get one or two last year!) and so I enjoy eating there because it's all new to me and because they're trying really hard to make it really good and spiffy because it's trying to catch on here.

But I still totally get what they're going for.

the closest Sonics next to me is 55 miles away and after that it's 150 miles away so I've never had Sonics

In order for me to go on a Sonic Adventure, I have to drive to the one in New Jersey. While the drive isn't so bad, however, New Jersey is a piece of shit.

Not only a double entendre, but you throw Weezer in there. You guys are masters.

I love Raspberry Sweet Tea.

And Weezer at the end was brilliant. I woke up my roommate because I couldn't stop laughing. :(

These guys are based out in Santee, California(San Diego) if I'm not mistaken. I live about 5 miles from them.

@ Harbinger o Death
A lot of their stuff is also filmed in La Mesa/El Cajon, as well as other more general San Diego areas, so I don't know exactly what part of San Diego they're based out in. Though none of that explains the Sonic.

There are now two Sonic locations in SD country, one in Santee and one in Vista, with more on the way.

Lol, every time I do go to Sonic I always think about Sonic the hedgehog so its funny that they made this video. BTW I do love Sonic's fast food, its better than the crap you get at other fast food restaurants.
