Jason Griffith as Sonic in Toonzai Commercial

[TheKakarotgurl]

Some jackass told me it was Sonny Strait doing an impression of Sonic. Well, now I'm happy that it's Jason....Sonny is awesome as Krillin..

Little Girl's reaction to Jason griffith

[shadowtoast102]

According to my research this is the very last bit of voice-work Jason Griffith did as the role of Sonic the Hedgehog. This should go down in the Official Imaginary Sonic the Hedgehog History Books.

[zatchfan202]

@shadowtoast102 at least he went out with a bang

[newkdawg3000]

@shadowtoast102 well...he stayed on board long enough to call Piccolo a Saiyan...

[TheKakarotgurl]

@newkdawg3000 Lol I saw that :DD

"..Piccolo is a Saiyan just like Raditz.."

[WritersBlah]

Oh gosh, I never realized how many Griffith fans there actually were...

LOST PERSON REPORT: toonzai ninja last seen: sonic's tourchre chamber

[JIllianne1690]

It's a shame that Jason isn't voicing Sonic anymore.I really love his voice regardless.He may have had his ups and downs on Sonic X,but that didn't really matter to me.Now,I'm only 12 and believe it or not,I care about the voices for the video games.There supposed to give the characters' personality and feeling.I got sonic colors for christmas,and in my own opinion,it was a great game.Roger's a good v.a,but...I prefer Jason alot more.Roger gives Sonic too low of a voice.^^" I'll miss you,Jason.

[Mickwhitefire28]

Regardless of his wierd speech pattern, Jason Griffith's Sonic voice left a huge impact on the audience. And this commercial shows he was getting better! Maybe if another Sonic show is made, believe me Sonic X is getting old, he could be recast and truly master the character.

[pikazomboe]

I miss jason griffin :(

[cookiekidsonic]

I truly miss Jason Griffith as the voice of Sonic! I will always remember him when I watch Sonic X. I don't know why people say that he ruined Sonic's voice. He did a pretty good job voicing in Sonic Unleashed and other games too! Jason Griffith will always be my Sonic! :D Well I'm a 14 year old teenage girl so I don't know much of the other Sonic voice actors except for Jaleel White. It's because I'm very young. :/

[VongolaAQW223]

WHAT IS TOONZAI!!!!!!

[sonicsorox]

*at least

[sonicsorox]

Well at meats Jason Griffith has been doing various new promos so although his career as sonic is over with sega he's still voicing sonic on new 4kids promos

[brandon2003alt]

sonic mustve killed the ninja then came down on the rope and put his eyes into the toonzai logo.

[bloxxman978]

@brandon2003alt NO he's hanging by his penis XD

[shadowfangirl888]

well...atleast i get to hear his voice every saturday morning

[MelodyTheHedgehog456]

personally i think jason griffth was a the best sonic and shadow yet. the new shadow voice actor just sounds.... so weird. sonic's is ok but jason's was better.

[mrzisawesome]

this is bittersweet. it's great to hear him voicing sonic again, but only for one commercial.

[sonikthehero]

don't you dare f*ck up sonic x u bitches

[soniclova17ify]

God damnit.

[Joemamma69000]

The fact that we like to watch a show about a mutated hedgehog who needs seven gems to turn yellow is weird enough

[AMTModollas]

Who here would love if Jason re-dubbed the cutscenes in Sonic Colors just for fun! Thumbs up if you agree and that we shud send him mass emails to do it!

[Nintendo2000Gamer]

@AMTModollas XDD LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!! i'm his friend on facebook

[AMTModollas]

@Nintendo2000Gamer Im not on facebook, but ill join just to do it anyways. Whats his facebook page! PM it to me!

[Nintendo2000Gamer]

@AMTModollas just type in Jason Griffith and it's the pic of him and the messed up hair

[grayfox3635]

@AMTModollas That sounds like it would be a great idea i love Jason Griffith i prefer him over any sonic voice actor so it would be awesome to hear him re-dub colors =)

[AMTModollas]

@grayfox3635 Just send him a message asking if he would, maybe if enough of us do it, he might

[grayfox3635]

@AMTModollas but i dont know how too does he have an email i could message him on or something?

[AMTModollas]

[Nintendo2000Gamer]

@AMTModollas actually it's semi related to that a have a video of the sonic generations trailer with his voice :)

[AMTModollas]

@Nintendo2000Gamer Really?!

[Nojical101]

@AMTModollas Get Ryan to do it.

[SalaComMander]

@AMTModollas

We would also have to send mass e-mails to Amy Palant, too.

[AMTModollas]

@SalaComMander agree agree!

[MarioMan771]

At least Jason is still playing the Danimals monkey... heh

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Thank you. I can easily apologize to someone who's mature enough to do the same. I'm sorry, and wish you good luck. Congratulations on having a voice actor that you like.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

So, you mean to say that Unleashed is exactly like Sonic Adventure, but 06 isn't...and the very fact that Unleashed has a similar plot to Adventure means it MUST take place later...

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Eggman didn't crack open anything to unleash the Biolizard, nor was he ever on its side. If you are refering to him unleashing Shadow, Shadow never back-stabbed him. Not to mention, your description was the basic plot of Sonic '06.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

You're asking me a question that already has an established answer? Eggman tried the Death Egg twice in a row, by your standards.

How is Unleashed based off of Adventure in the slightest bit?

For further confusion to your "this game was released first, therefor it must take place first" theory, Sonic Battle came out before Sonic Heroes, but takes place after it. There is not anything you could possibly say to make that false.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

But you can't believe that Sonic Unleashed takes place before Adventure?

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Exactly. But yet, Sonic CD takes place between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Exactly where it was in Sonic CD.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Sonic Unleashed does in fact take place before Adventure. In fact, it's very possible that it takes place before Sonic 3. If SEGA wants him to age, they haven't made him do so yet.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

That makes Sonic 17 In Sonic Chronicles. Not in Sonic Unleashed, which takes place before Sonic Adventure, or any games that a proceeded by Chronicles, because that games takes place in a different time-line from the rest of the series.

Sonic has not aged, nor does he have to if SEGA doesn't want him to, which they don't.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Bobby Hill was the same age for the entire 13 seasons of the show. Stewie Griffin has been a baby for 9 seasons, and Maggie Simspon...do I really need to say it?

Now, thank you for helping me prove my point. Sonic was 15 in Sonic Heroes, and has been ever since. The mere fact that he was created in 1991 in no way makes him 19 years old.

[SalaComMander]

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

You're missing the main point. Fictional characters aren't effected by time as we are. Get that through your head.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

I don't need anything other than the Simpsons card. I could easily pull the Family Guy card, or the King of the Hill card, or the Naruto card, or the One Piece card, or many, many others, but why would I do that? You are not making any valid points whatsoever.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

How many times do I have to bring up Maggie Simpson? Over 20 years have definitely passed in that series, and yet, nobody has aged a day.

There was my move. It's simple and effective.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

First off, Sonic Chronicles is non-canon. Secondly, Sonic Chronicles takes place at a later timeline than games that followed it. Thirdly, yes we are to believe that all that crap took place in less than a year, because, as I've pointed out, it's been 21 years, and Maggie Simpson is still a baby. Fictional characters do not need to age.

Comment back when you have some logic.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Really? The fact that every single continuity of Sonic EVER depicts him with the personality that Jaleel White gave him means nothing? Then, out of f*cking nowhere, Roger comes in and throws a wrench into the personality that took 17 years to perfect?

Sonic should be 20...right...Oh, how silly of me. Quick let's go find a 21 year old voice actor, because Maggie Simpson is still a baby. Seriously, how stupid was what you just said?

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

We're not going for mature. Sonic is 15 years old. Roger's Sonic voice practically doubles that age.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Right, I do not officially count, but I just put myself on the list as a way of saying "Even I am better than Roger."

Roger's a great actor, but does that mean we should hire James Earl Jones to voice Mickey Mouse? Yes, there are quite a few who claim Roger is good, most of them is because they're still bitching about Griffith having taken over for (technically) 5 years.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Burke is at the bottom. "Worst to best"? Do you actually read?

I put myself on the list because I'm voicing Sonic in the fan-made Sonic Heroes 2. I'm nowhere near the skill level of Griffith or White, but at least my Sonic doesn't sound like he's 30.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

Hmm...I don't like your list at all...Roger is definitely a good actor, but that doesn't make him right for the part.

Worst to best:

6. Martin Burke

5. Roger Craig Smith

4. Me

3. Ryan Drummond

2. Jason Anthony Griffith

1. Jaleel White

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

I know what you said. That's why I said I kinda agreed with you. I think you don't understand. Acting and writing are two different things. You only think he was a good actor in Sonic Adventure 2 because of the excellent writing in that game, and you only think he was a bad actor in Sonic Heroes because the writing was cheesy at best.

"What you see is what you get, just a guy who loves adventure. I'm Sonic The Hedgehog."

vs

"Let's show that creep the real SUPER POWER OF TEAMWORK!"

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

That I completely agree with...kinda...

His acting was at its best in Heroes.

[SalaComMander]

@AmuroKazuki

I'll simplify what you said, just to make sure you said what you meant to.

Tonnzai sucks, Griffith is great, Drummond is bad.

Am I correct?

[ssjgotenks2009]

@WildDragon2013 way did sivler get new vocie he not ben around lnog griff is beeter shadow

[echoimpulsivesound]

@AmuroKazuki yeah it does. Like I said he's a great voice actor. Hmm I lnow I'll get used to it eventually until then it'll sound slightly weird to me

[echoimpulsivesound]

@AmuroKazuki Yeah I'm not totally oh my gosh crazed fan, but a fan I'm just agreeing with your statement about Griffith being underrated and Drummond being overrated. Anyways Roger Craig Smith is a good voice actor, excellent really, though I'm not sure he was the best choice for Sonic's voice actor. He does do a good job though.

[echoimpulsivesound]

@AmuroKazuki good thing too, it needed to be said

[jasonlin1216]

Toonzai is sooo racist to japanese cause that samurai guy keeps calling tooooonzaii and he's trying to make fun of japanese people.

[sonicpals9798]

guys lets thimk if there was a sonic x seson 4 it would be bad anyway because of chris he will probably come back

if it is based upon the recent games like sonic unleashed dark daia would be cut out

sonic 2006 mephilis, iblis, and solaris could be cut out and sonic would not get killed by mephils, probably by something stupid

so f sonic x returns don't watch it because of 4****

[hcsp1]

Let me get this right, All the fans that so hated Jason to the point they wanted to kill him now love him all the sudden? I know he got better in Unleashed and Black knight but suddenly think he is the best? To tell the truth I prefer Roger A lot more! Jason is not bad(At least in 2008 and up) but make him the best is pure nonsence!

[Metroid4everPro]

Jason Griffith was my favorite voice actor... He gave me such inspiration to be a voice actor myself.This makes me want to cry. D:

[NazoTheFox]

Why does he sound so much better as Sonic in this bumper than the actual games? O.o If only he'd done this before recasting...

[UsAndA95]

@NazoTheFox Well, actually he started to sound good after Sonic & The Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed. But yeah, SEGA was still stupid enough to fire Jason as soon as the fanbase started to accept him..

[ssjgotenks2009]

@UsAndA95 ya he was the best shadow

[AMTModollas]

At least Jason is still voicing Sonic is SOME way... but Id MUCH prefer it be in ALL media... Jason will be forever missed

[TotallyLisaCartoons]

LOL! He's looking at us through the Toonzai logo.

[YoshiandSonicAngel]

@DoanTheCFHE He got high before the commercial.

[CyberHardHat]

Really Roger Craig Smith can even act like sonic good. But still if there going to make new episodes of Sonic X then don't tell me that sonics voice is going to be replaced.

[undertakerand619]

this was jasons last thing to do as sonic...its a damn shame

[SonicPower8000]

Ok Iam Not That Angy AnyMore That Jason Is Gone

[zatchfan202]

@SonicPower8000 yeah but its still not fair

[SonicPower8000]

@zatchfan202 Yeah Just Not Fair

[nidadip]

@zatchfan202 just like the others but i don't care about voices in a video game

[sonicfan1984]

nevermind, that was GoldMetalSonic's video. He sounds better in this

[GoldMetalSonic]

@sonicfan1984

All I did was YouTube a clip already recorded by someone else with a cellphone. XD

Nice quality for this one, thanks zatchfan202. :)

[Superviolenza]

well I want to ask on what does Jason feel about no longer being sonic in the TV show(because the show got cancelled) and now the video games after all, Sonic X was the reason how Jason got in to 4kids. What is he going to do now, will he stay at 4kids or leave the 4kids group and enter the big leagues like Johnny young Bosch.

[pkstarstorm1up]

@Superviolenza Sonic X isn't cancelled, they are making a season 4.

[Superviolenza]

@pkstarstorm1up

For all these years, you guys haven't got the clue that Sonic X is done. There won't be a season 4.

[pkstarstorm1up]

@Superviolenza There might be a season 4.

[sigmahunter06]

@pkstarstorm1up where did you hear this rumor lol

[pkstarstorm1up]

@sigmahunter06 Look it up and you'll see lots of info on it.

[Superviolenza]

@pkstarstorm1up

There won't be a season 4. End of story, if they make a new show then great but season 4 of Sonic X is a no.

[pkstarstorm1up]

@Superviolenza They have said there is a possibility that they will make a season 4.

[Superviolenza]

@pkstarstorm1up

it's been about 5 years, dude it's canceled.

[pkstarstorm1up]

@Superviolenza It's not cancelled. Just because there hasn't been any recently doesn't mean that there won't ever be a season 4. 

[ssjgotenks2009]

@Superviolenza  how do you no

[Superviolenza]

@ssjgotenks2009

Dudes, are guys idiots or something? There will never be a damn fourth season!!! Do you read? do you listen? apparently not. Now when I say Sonic X is over it is OVER!!!!! There will never be a fucking season 4 whether you like it or not.

[ssjgotenks2009]

@Superviolenza you are not the maker or have the right to sonic x there will be one some day  so back off it fans is what make show keep going

[Superviolenza]

@ssjgotenks2009

Ok, yes you are blind. It's the year 2011 and no sign of some Sonic the hedgehog show or anime has appeared or has been announced. So does that answer your fucking question? I guess not, because your a fucking idiot.

I may not be the creator of Sonic X but trust me, if they didn't continue the series than it's absolutly over not matter what you think. Your fucking idiot and you keep on confusing yourself with possibilities and impossibilities, so wake up and see the truth.

[ssjgotenks2009]

@Superviolenza dude every her eid besves but head they ene in 1997 it ebn over for 14 years but guss what there comnig back with new episdoe this years that show parf that you cant cotn sonci x out sure ti end in 2006 but that dos not mean it wont happen they can do it bveavse buthead parfs that show is not over if you think a show is sonic x may retun you dont no ok

[JaysPlace20]

@ssjgotenks2009 Dude, proofread your comments

[SalaComMander]

Go Griffith! Don't ever stop voicing Sonic! Even if you no longer work for SEGA, you must never give up! Maybe someday soon, SEGA will come to their senses and bring you back.

[ssjgotenks2009]

@SalaComMander ya he was the ebst sonic and shadow sega need to get him back

[DanTheMan33088]

@SalaComMander I highly doubt it, especially considering the fact they people hated him, right up until he got replaced. That's what I don't understand about the fanbase. They bitched and whined for years that they hated Jason Griffith, and the whole 4Kids cast in general, and now all of a sudden they want them back. I highly doubt Sega will do it.

[SalaComMander]

@DanTheMan33088

The problem here is that you're thinking of the Sonic fanbase as one, collective mind.

Even from the beginning, there were people that preferred Jason, and many more grew to like his as time went by. By the time Black Knight was out, most of the fanbase had either grown to like him, or at least grown to accept him, if they didn't outright prefer him to begin with.

[charlz5858]

@SalaComMander I strongly agree with you



[MrPunchDrunk1]

Yay. :D

As much as I don't like Roger Craig Smith's Sonic, I'm glad Jason is still playing him for the Toonzai bumpers. ^_^

[Xyrsk]

@MrPunchDrunk1 You never heard his real Sonic take, though. The Alton Towers one was just him doing a Griffith impersonation to cover the fact that Sonic was recast.

[zatchfan202]

@Xyrsk yeah and what a terrible job he did lol
