You're the one who gave me that stock!

"Sonic For Hire: Paperboy" is the first episode of the first season and series premiere of Sonic For Hire.

Synopsis[]

Years of being broke and washed up, Sonic is given a job by Tails to carry out a paper route in order to get back on his feet.

Plot[]

The episode opens with Sonic sitting on the couch surrounded by animals in his apartment. Tails visits and orders him to pay his rent. However, Sonic replies that he's short on money can can't afford to pay, prompting Tails to remind him about being so broke that he uses a Dominique Wilkins poster as a TV. Sonic retorts by saying that Tails was the one responsible for making him broke in the first place by spending all his money on coke and Sega Dreamcast stock. Quickly changing the subject, Tails offers to hook Sonic up with some jobs to pay off the rent. At first, Sonic feels relieved, claiming he'd do anything but becomes rather pissed when he finds his first job is newspaper delivery in the game Paperboy. After working for less than ten seconds, Sonic gets fed up, breaks into a nearby house, and steals the TV. Just as Sonic celebrates his success, the cops arrive at the scene, forcing Sonic to flee.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode of Sonic For Hire, and is the very first episode to ever appear on Machinima.
  • The Dreamcast was the final video game console ever made by Sega, so Sonic's investment in stocks for it went to waste when Sega discontinued it.
  • If you look at all of the things listed on the Paperboy styled newspaper (under the article The Daily Sun), you can see:
    • "Washed up Hedgehog delivers papers"
    • "Sonic hits new low score"
    • "Luigi still sucks" (a reference to Mario's brother Luigi)
    • "Dolph Lundgren cast as Bald Bull" (a reference to Bald Bull, a character from the Punch-Out!! series)
    • "Unexplained pauses stump scientists"
