It seems like a decade ago that we were lamenting the Sonic movie's terrible animation. Even the movie's February 14 release seems like it happened in another lifetime. But the film (which actually got solid reviews) has more to offer than 100 minutes of boredom-busting. It's inspired more than a few excellent dank memes, and the latest format features Jim Carrey as Sonic's nemesis, Robotnik. The meme remixes the classic Daily Struggle format by adding a panel of Robotnik eagerly selecting the negative red button. It's being used to mock everyone from gullible fake-news spreading aunts to gamers, and it's quickly becoming one of the more popular formats on Reddit. We've put together a healthy handful of our favorite examples, but you can read more about the evil goodness on Know Your Meme. Happy scrolling!

Damn, Gina. Today is serving up a whole lot of "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." That classic Jurassic Park quote sums up our feelings about the just-released trailer for 'Sonic The Hedgehog'. The film features Jim Carrey as the villainous Robotnik and James Marsden as Tom Wachowski, a small-town Sheriff who assists Sonic in his quest to save the world. Unfortunately, this star power doesn't do much to distract from the film's cringey, creepy CGI and very questionable production. All of Twitter seems to agree.
