Og Man Out is episode 15 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 18 February 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Someone has raided Meh Burger, pinched bandages and left slime all over Amy’s couch, and the trail ends in her bathroom with Og, a Froglodyte who escaped through a tunnel left by Eggman’s Drill Bot. Og swears he comes in peace. Below ground he was a misfit, a vegan pacifist who questioned why everyone bowed to a giant statue, and he only took what he needed.
Suspecting a spy, Sonic insists on watching Og himself, and survives one night of his noisy bedtime routine. Og gets passed down the line: Tails gets a lecture on dangerous technology, and Knuckles, told violence isn’t the answer, waits a whole day for coconuts to fall and gives up seconds too soon. Og ends up with Sticks, who agrees with him about almost everything.
Then Froglodytes swarm the village, and the blame game begins: Sonic handed Og to Tails, Tails to Knuckles, Knuckles to Sticks. Sonic races to catch Og opening the old cave door in Sticks’ burrow, but it is still blocked; the invaders came up through the drill’s tunnel. Og, pacifist or not, takes them apart with martial arts, and decides to stay topside, in a home of his own.
