This article contains spoilers for the entireKnuckleslive-action TV-series.
The Genesis games with their lightning quick action?
The much-belovedSonic Adventureseries and its focus on Knuckles treasure hunting?
The newest animated series in the franchise,Sonic Prime,featuring trips across the multiverse?
TheKnucklesshow goes to the most unexpected place imaginable.
Like that series,Knucklesis an out-and-out comedy.
Hes like if Worf fromStar Trek: The Next Generationstarred in a comedy.
TheKnucklesseries doesnt just draw characterization fromSonic Boombut most importantly its satire and unhinged humor.
Its exactly this kind of bizarre humor theKnucklesseries excels at.
When the song crescendos into the death of Knuckles father, Wade holds the human man playing the role.
Suddenly, the camera cuts to the father and hes no longer a human in a suit.
Hes a puppet and when he dies, his eyes turn into Xs.
Knucklesblatantly doesnt care about any kind of realism or making sense.
Its willing to do whatever it needs to get a laugh out of the audience, just likeSonic Boom.
Theres also numerous little moments throughout the show that callback to that animated series.
Whats better than a show that has scenes like Knuckles watchingPretty Womanand commenting, I dont understand.
Is it so wrong to walk the streets?
Knucklesis now streaming on Paramount+.
