The Sonic Hooters meme is a surreal product of internet fandom that depicts Sonic the Hedgehog characters—most commonly Sonic himself—wearing the uniform of the famous American restaurant chain. Emerging from the depths of fan art communities on Twitter and DeviantArt, the meme plays on the absurdity of the high-energy blue blur working a service job. It frequently overlaps with the 'Femboy Sonic' and ironic 'cursed image' trends that dominate gaming social media. Users typically employ this template to create ironic scenarios or to lean into the 'cursed' nature of the crossover, making it a staple for anyone looking to confuse or entertain their followers with SEGA-themed absurdity.
