Don’t Make Me Angry is episode 48 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 21 October 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Studying Team Sonic’s moves convinces Eggman he needs superpowers of his own, and a comic left at the library supplies the method: purple rays, which turned weakling Bruce Bandicoot into the Unenviable Clunk. Eggman’s purple ray does work, sort of. The side effect: any flash of temper transforms him into a tiny, adorable purple critter.
The cure is 48 hours without a transformation, which ought to be easy. Then Team Sonic laughs at him in the village, Sonic needles him into changing again, and everyone mocks him except Beth the Shrew and Amy. Eggman signs up for anger management, taught by Amy of all people, with meditation from Og, and soon not even the heroes’ teasing can ruffle him.
With 15 minutes to go, Beth drops by with home-made cookies (toothpaste instead of baking soda), then fiddles with the control panel and falls down the trash compactor chute, too narrow for Eggman or his robots. He can’t get angry on demand: Orbot’s insults are too sweet, Dave gets his order right, and Sonic apologises. That frustration finally does it, and Sonic rushes the furious fluffball back to save her. One spilt bowl of Cubot’s soup later, the countdown starts again.
