# Scott Pilgrim's "You Know Sonic the Hedgehog?" Scott Pilgrim's "You Know Sonic the Hedgehog?" comes from a scene in the November 2023 Netflix anime Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, where the title character opens a conversation with Ramona Flowers by sharing a Sonic the Hedgehog factoid. One day after the show's premiere, X users began captioning the clip and still images with deep-cut facts about their favorite franchises, launching a format run that spanned Xenoblade Chronicles riffs and Skibidi Toilet edits. ## Origin Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the Netflix anime continuation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic series, premiered on November 17, 2023[4]. In the first episode, Scott approaches Ramona at a party and begins their conversation by telling her a Sonic the Hedgehog factoid[5]. On November 18, 2023, X user @milomorales9 posted the earliest documented edit of the scene, dubbing the clip with new audio about Sonic Frontiers; the video collected more than 80 reposts and 600 likes within two days[1]. - **Platform:** Netflix (source scene) / X (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2023 ## Overview In a typical post, the awkward still of Scott walking up to Ramona works as the visual setup, with the caption rewriting his opening line as a deep-cut fact or hot take about a specific fandom[5]. Some creators dub the actual clip with new audio so Scott's Sonic trivia gets replaced with another franchise's lore, while others just swap captions onto the screenshot[1]. The humor runs on the mismatch between Scott's try-hard flirting energy and the obscurity of whatever factoid replaces his original line, letting fans joke about how unhinged their opener would sound coming out of his mouth[2]. Early versions covered video games, anime, and other online memes, which set the template for the format going forward[3]. ## How to Use Posts use either the still image of Scott approaching Ramona or the full dubbed clip. Writers swap his Sonic opener for a factoid or opinion that outs them as a diehard about a specific franchise, show, game or internet meme. A common move is to mimic the cadence of the real line, keeping the cringe-flirt energy intact while changing the subject entirely. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Scott Pilgrim's "You Know Sonic the Hedgehog?"?
