Sonic the Hedgehog 2's Parks & Rec Joke Explained by Ben Schwartz
Ben Schwartz reveals the backstory behind a Parks & Recreation joke that was snuck into Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The sequel, which came to theaters on April 8, 2022, has already made $71 million in its opening weekend, not only blowing the original Sonic's $58 million opening out of the water, but nabbing the second-highest opening weekend for a 2022 release so far, right behind The Batman. Considering the fact that the original Sonic the Hedgehog was one of the last pre-pandemic hits, this is great news for the future of the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action franchise, which also includes a spinoff series for Idris Elba's character Knuckles.
