00:21As we all remember, the epicenter of tourism for our fair village was the giant ball of twine.
00:27That is, until someone unwound it.
00:32I only did it to stop a deadly rock slide from steamrolling the whole town.
00:36I remember it like it was yesterday.
00:38We don't have time for a flashback. We need to reinvigorate tourism. Suggestions?
00:43What if we sold t-shirts for the town? Get our name out there.
00:47Great idea. Just one quick question. What is the name of our town?
00:53Our village must have a name. And I know just how to find out.
00:57Everyone, to the library!
01:01Or I could just look it up online.
01:04But the library is an important resource, with its easy-to-use card catalogs and cabinets upon cabinets full of
01:09microfiche.
01:10Found it.
01:10Yeah!
01:12Our town was originally called Badgerville, named after its founder Jebediah Badger.
01:19He was a ruthless bank owner and land developer, who seized power by manipulating the system.
01:25Thank goodness we don't let people like that run our city anymore!
01:30He kicked people out of their homes, just to develop on their land and expand his fortune.
01:36Eventually, our ancestors rebelled, chasing him out of town.
01:41Then they tore down all the signs bearing his image and the town's name.
01:46Afterward, they were too lazy to hang up new ones.
01:50So, I guess, technically, it's still called Badgerville.
01:53That's impossible!
01:54Jebediah Badger was my great-great-grandfather!
01:59My ancestor was the man!
02:04Jebediah Badger stood for everything I hate in this world.
02:08Abuse of power, aggression, shoddy sign construction.
02:11You had nothing to do with him, so it's nothing to be ashamed of.
02:15I guess I overreacted.
02:16Thanks, Amy.
02:28I feel like everyone's avoiding me and looking at me funny.
02:31How's that different from any other day?
02:32Because now it's not paranoia.
02:34Bebo!
02:35I don't even agree with Jebediah Badger!
02:37I try and help everyone.
02:39I must have saved that walrus baby like 50 times!
02:43Don't you talk about my baby!
02:45We can't stand idly by and let our town be named after some no-good stinking Badger.
02:51We need a new name for our village.
02:53I agree!
02:54Let's put our heads together and...
02:56She's coming for us!
03:03Maybe it's best if I lay low for a bit.
03:06Amy, you go make sure they don't name the town something stupid.
03:09How about we name it Shimmy Downtown?
03:11No way!
03:12It's gotta be something with pizazz, like Sonic-topia.
03:16Nah, it should have a strong intimidating name.
03:19Like...
03:20Knuckles.
03:21I've always liked that one for some reason.
03:23We should have a name that sounds nice and boosts our image.
03:26Something like Pleasant Valley.
03:30Intentionally vague, bordering on misleading, but not open to legal dispute.
03:34It's perfect!
03:38Not so fast!
03:41Everybody chillax.
03:42I'm not here to fight.
03:44I heard we need a new name for our town.
03:46And I found the perfect option!
03:48Eggman City!
03:49I like it!
03:50What?
03:50No!
03:51That's terrible!
03:52We're not naming it Eggman City!
03:53Who made you king?
03:54I say, let the people decide!
03:57Yeah!
03:59But the people just decided!
04:01Everybody liked Pleasant Valley!
04:03You can't just declare a new name!
04:05You need to draw up a proposition and hold a referendum!
04:08There's a process!
04:09Unless you want to be all Jebediah Badger about it!
04:12Boo!
04:19From the rolling meadows, to the beautiful beaches, to that perpetual dumpster fire behind
04:24Medburger, there's something for everyone in a place called Pleasant Valley!
04:29Oh!
04:30Y'all ready for Eggman City?
04:34First order of business, free T-shirts!
04:44Calm down, there's enough swag for everyone!
04:54Citizens for Pleasant Valley!
04:59Hey, this isn't a library!
05:07Hey, this isn't a library!
05:09But this is a library!
05:11Obviously, you don't understand parallel construction jokes!
05:19Amy Rose thinks we should name our town Pleasant Valley.
05:23But did you know that Amy Rose is an associate of known conspiracy theorist and descendant of Jebediah Badger?
05:30Sticks the Badger?
05:32What else is Amy Rose hiding?
05:35Paid for by citizens who think Eggman City would be a better name.
05:38I can't take this anymore!
05:43Well, I've done everything I can.
05:45Now we just have to vote and hope the people make the right decision.
05:49Have a little faith in the democratic process!
05:51It always comes through!
05:53It's a landslide!
05:55Eggman City triumphs with a record 98% of the vote!
05:58Let's talk to the man of the hour, Dr. Eggman!
06:02Thank you, sir!
06:03I also want to thank all the villagers who were swayed by my charismatic campaign and voted without actually reading
06:08the proposition itself!
06:10And why would they?
06:11Your commercials and free T-shirts stated the point so clearly!
06:15Yes, well, what the T-shirts failed to mention was that hidden within the verbiage of the ordinance was a
06:20clause to give me absolute power!
06:22You chumps just elected me your supreme leader!
06:25Ha ha ha!
06:26Oh, by the way, I'm shutting down the media!
06:31In our system grand, boys?
06:33You're going to need a cabinet.
06:35Might I submit my resume for Secretary of the Interior?
06:38And can I be water commissioner?
06:41They get all the chicks!
06:42Now that I'm in charge, I have big plans!
06:46Yes, yes!
06:48Collect my trash in a timely fashion!
06:50Ha ha ha ha!
06:51I also have big plans for the city!
06:53It's demolition time!
07:00What the heck do you think you're doing, Egghead?
07:02Clearing space for my new theme park, of course!
07:05Which, by the way, will be great for tourism!
07:07You're welcome!
07:08But what about the villagers?
07:09They can work at the theme park or visit it!
07:11See?
07:12It's all good!
07:12Now move along!
07:14Need I remind you that I was elected supreme leader?
07:17What I'm doing is well within the letter of the law, and you can't stop me!
07:22I'll find a way to stop you legally, Eggman!
07:25Everyone, come with me to the library!
07:29Fine, I'll go myself.
07:31Huh...
07:35Shh...
07:36Shh...
07:41DRAMATIC MUSIC
07:42DRAMATIC MUSIC
07:42DRAMATIC MUSIC
08:12I'll see you next time.
08:13That's it!
08:14Shh!
08:15Sticks, I've got great...
08:17Whoa, what are you doing?
08:19This town's no place for a badger like me.
08:22You have no idea how wrong you are.
08:24I just discovered that even though Jebediah Badger was run out of town,
08:27he never relinquished ownership of the land.
08:30That greedy no good.
08:32Don't you see?
08:33That means legally, the land belongs to Jebediah Badger's only descendant.
08:38You!
08:39I own the village and everything in it?
08:41Uh-huh.
08:42The stores?
08:43The houses?
08:44Yep.
08:45The mind-reading antenna cleverly disguises trees?
08:48The invisible tower where the government hides all the aliens?
08:50The underground factory where they create duplicates of everyone
08:53so they can replace us all with pod people?
08:55If any of those things existed, you'd own them.
08:57Let's go kick Eggman out of my village.
09:00Unless you're the pod person version of Amy, then you can wait here.
09:04If we demolish that youth center, I can double the size of my funnel cake stand.
09:08Come on, Eggman.
09:09You can't just destroy the village.
09:11Sorry, I can't hear you over the noise of me building an awesome theme park.
09:14Wait!
09:15According to these records, Styx is the true owner of the village.
09:19So you're saying our votes don't mean anything?
09:22Exactly.
09:23None of your votes matter.
09:24Boo!
09:25But I'm giving the town back to the people!
09:29Yay!
09:30And I figured it all out thanks to the wonders of the public library.
09:34Boo!
09:35It's over, Eggman.
09:37I don't care if you nullified my term as supreme ruler.
09:40That youth center's going down!
09:46Oh!
09:59Out of the way!
10:05Come on, kids, mull it or loose it.
10:08You can finish coloring later.
10:31What? No! Super thing's stuck!
10:37You win this time.
10:39We pretty much win every time.
10:40I guess we owe you an apology, Styx.
10:43After your heroics, we'd be honored to keep the name Badgerville.
10:49Nah, that's okay. We should name the village after someone who deserves it.
10:53Someone selfless and honorable.
10:55I say we call it Hedgehog Village.
10:58Wow, Styx. Naming the town after me, you shouldn't have.
11:02I mean, I get why you'd want to, but...
11:04Not after you. After my good friend, Amy Rose the Hedgehog,
11:09who always stood by me, no matter what.
11:15You sure you don't want to call it Knuckles?
11:17I've always liked that one for some reason.
11:28This is going!
11:30It's a Reynolds, which is a big thing.
11:33This is earnings.
11:34It's a big effect.
11:34It's worth earning great.
11:34please. Like,
11:36bro. Alright,
