Is it because of the layers?

Anyway I recall a strip of Shrek and Shadow kissing in this very forum as a response for some thread (I forgot what it was). I thought it was just a random thing usually found in DeviantArt... until I stumbled into certain parts of internet where there is an overlap between the two.

Why? Is there any explanation? What is the commonality between an ogre and a blue hedgehog? Is it a meme? Is it a cult?

 

[maquiladora]

Simple as that.

Both are fandoms feared by the internet

Both beloved by people who were 8 years old in 2001?

Shouldn't Sonic be slightly older in demographic

You just don't understand the love between an Ogre and a Hedgehog.

You'd think, but all the Sonic fan art tells me otherwise.

Apparently a hedgehog.

People with extreme autism like them for whatever reason.

I have fear of what is out there on the internet about Sonic & Shrek.

 

[……forgetit]

Shrek is love, shrek is life became popular amongst certain strange crowds, which had a lot of crossover with the weird sonic fandbase. So the intermingled.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

The internet likes to mock weird fandoms with absurd humor. Though it can be tough to tell the difference between the real and parody fan art. It's pretty funny.

It's dangerously easy to joke about, but this is pretty much it.

(For the "serious" stuff anyway, not for the "lulz" stuff.)

You never go on Deviantart.

Isn't there a really disturbing cartoon video about some guy and how he makes love to Shrek or something?

I feel like the captions are backwards here.

Yeah I always thought the Shrek fandom is supposed to be ironic but apparently it isn't.

[Shuggananas]

both are shit characters
also fucked up fetishes

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

They both have always been awful, yet the internet constantly tries to defend the earlier entries, which were mediocre at best.

wait, what fetishes involve ogres and hedgehogs

Hey now

Shrek 2 was pretty great

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Hey now

Shrek 2 was pretty great

It really wasn't, just like Sonic 2 wasn't that great.

Sonic : Mario :: Shrek : Toy Story.

Mario and Toy Story are legitimately good in their medium while Sonic and Shrek are just awful.

 

[Alexlf]

It really wasn't, just like Sonic 2 wasn't that great.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was great
Sonic Adventure 2 on the other hand

Spoiler

was even better

Really? You need to bring up another movie, especially if it has little to no commonality?

 

[Mattamus-Prime]

I need that Homer backing into the hedge gif stat.

 

[Toa TAK]

Hey woah, Shrek 2 isn't that great now?

Look, freaky-ass fanbase aside, Shrek 2 was hilarious.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I don't think the fanbase is related to the movie anyway and if they do they usually refer to the first one

Hey Sonic was pretty good prior to Sonic 06. And Shrek 2 was great.

 

[joelseph]

Boss Dog is my window into weird. Always showing gaf the weird stuff online. I'm not mad.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Shrek 2 was fantastic. Tha climax with the tension and the music was great. Still good.
It just should have ended there.

[novenD]

I've always seen it as an offshoot of the "my time here is ogre" comic that spiraled out of control and became self-sustaining.

Whatever. So long as it keeps giving us stuff like this I'll just enjoy the ride.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Hey Sonic was pretty good prior to Sonic 06. And Shrek 2 was great.

I talked my mom into letting me stay home from school to play Sonic when it arrived in the mail back in 7th grade. It was better than Altered Beast, for sure, but it was nowhere near 'pretty good'. It was instead very average with a pretty good first stage, and quickly devolved from there. Sonic 2 was more of the same.

Shrek 2 might have been great if you were like 10-12 when it came out, but it isn't a very good animated film in general.

I think fans of both of these characters like being in the underdog position, and deep down know that their enjoyment is based on mediocrity.

Really? You need to bring up another movie, especially if it has little to no commonality?

Pixar and Dreamworks are direct competitors working in the same medium, vying for the same audience. One generally makes better movies than the other. The tables have flipped a bit lately, but it generally remains so.

I have no idea what is going on in this thread. I feel like I woke up in the wrong dimension this morning.
