Strip by: Manny

Robotnik: I'm gonna be a tv star!
{SpongeBob timecard: Three weeks later}
{The scene shifts to a newspaper with the headline "'Robotnik' Axed", followed by a screenshot of the title card with a black "CANCELED" stamp over it}
Text box: Despite surprisingly positive reviews, the talk show, starring the would-be dictator of Mobius, was unceremoniously axed after one season, by order of the algorithm.
{The scene shifts back to Robotnik in his lair, sobbing loudly}
Sonic: I told you not to trust streaming services with your show!

The author writes:

There's a reason a lot of the top-performing shows on streaming services are the likes of Friends and Gilmore Girls (two shows I personally am not particularly fond of, but at least they were given a chance to grow).
