Dude, Where’s My Eggman? is episode 10 of Season 1 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by OuiDo! Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 24 January 2015 on Cartoon Network.
Synopsis
In a robot take on Dude, Where’s My Car?, Eggman’s henchbots switch on with a whole day missing from their memory banks and no idea where their boss has gone. Cubot would happily enjoy the day off. Orbot insists on detective work.
The investigation is a tour of bad decisions. Knuckles’ version of the previous day’s battle stars himself, and the local police say they locked up someone matching Eggman’s description. To raise bail, the bots busk, fail to con Amy out of her penguin-sweater savings and watch T.W. Barker drive off in the Eggmobile for good. The eventual jailbreak frees the wrong prisoner: Willy Walrus, who only looks like the boss.
Willy’s story leads to a helium warehouse and, worse, to a Disintegrator Ray lying next to a moustache. Convinced their master has zapped himself, the grieving pair trudge home to find Eggman alive and well, a surprise party in full swing and a breakfast burrito to explain his absence. Then he admits he wiped their memories himself, and does it again, so when he asks where the Eggmobile is, nobody can tell him.
