Hilariously Bad Pakistan Sonic Heroes Happy Meal Commercial - 2004
Knuckles baseball
In 2004, McDonald's Pakistan released a Happy Meal set featuring LCD Sonic the Hedgehog games. They advertised the set with this infamously-bad commercial in Urdu.
Synopsis[]
The advert features Sonic the Hedgehog characters playing/doing sports, such as Tails playing soccer, Sonic skateboarding, Rouge and Amy playing tennis, Cream and her Chao friend Cheese playing "flower catch" (even though it's not seen), Shadow playing Basketball, and Knuckles playing baseball.

Why It's Cursed[]
The advert is infamous for the horrible designs of the characters, and the 3D animation in general. The worst offender of this is Rouge the Bat, who looks more like a naked mouse than the bat, her official character design shows her as. Some of the games shown don't even have the labels textured on the models. Also, the Urdu language sounds more like poorly badly butchered English, making it even more hilarious.
The official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account actually referenced the ad on a post with the image of the French Sonic Happy Meal, describing it and the latter as "creepy foreign commercials."
