Published October 26, 2026

In July 2018, SnapCube's improvised Sonic Adventure 2 fandub produced a now-infamous bit where a fake Dr. Eggman announces he is urinating on the moon and calls Shadow the Hedgehog a bitch-ass motherfucker. The clip went viral on Twitter in December 2018 after @overlordxord shared it with a Gumball-themed caption, and the audio soon turned into a copypasta reused in Smash Bros. edits and animated recreations.

Overview

Eggman Pisses on the Moon, also known as Shadow the Hedgehog Is a Bitch-Ass Motherfucker or the Eggman Announcement Copypasta, is a snippet of improvised dialogue from a SnapCube Real-Time Fandub of Sonic Adventure 2 cutscenes1. In the bit, voice actor Alfred Coleman, performing as Dr. Robotnik, delivers a mock villain monologue declaring that he has urinated on the moon and insulting Shadow in the same breath2.

The audio got lifted out of the fandub and pasted over unrelated footage, with fans dubbing it onto Super Smash Bros. Ultimate scenes, SpongeBob reaction shots and newly drawn animations of the original cutscene2. The lines themselves also circulated as plain text, used anywhere a user wanted a chaotic Eggman cold open.

On July 18, 2018, the YouTube channel SnapCube uploaded "Sonic Adventure 2 (Dark Story + Final Story) | Real-Time Fandub Games," a group fandub in which cast members improvised voices over the game's cutscenes3. During the Dark Story segment, Alfred Coleman, who posts on Twitter as PaperBoxHouse, delivered the ad-libbed Eggman address about urinating on the moon and calling Shadow a bitch-ass motherfucker2. By February 2019 the video had logged more than 600,000 views2.

How It Spread

The bit broke out of the fandub on December 13, 2018, when Twitter user @overlordxord posted the clip with the caption "I'm not gonna lie. This is an ACTUAL SCENE from Gumball," riffing on a @CNConfessions tweet from earlier that week4. @overlordxord's post picked up over 6,900 retweets and 17,000 likes2. A standalone YouTube reupload the same day collected more than 40,000 views by February 20192.

The Gumball framing format got copied right away. User @CorBond_ swapped in a SiIvaGunner reference and drew around 640 retweets and 2,200 likes, while @SlamGrene paired the joke with Squidward and the Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show for roughly 2,300 retweets and 8,500 likes5.

Video remixes followed. NationOfOranges696 dubbed the Eggman audio over a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate scene6, and animator Oddly exe redrew the original Sonic Adventure 2 cutscene with the fandub audio, with that video reaching more than 377,000 views7. The text version turned into a copypasta used in Discord servers and reply threads for years after.
