Origin
On June 8th, 2018, SnapCube[1] released its dub of the Hero Story from Sonic Adventure 2, gaining over 11 million views in six years (their Dark Story dub is the origin of the Eggman Pisses On The Moon meme, also voiced by Coleman). During a battle between Eggman and Tails, Coleman, as Robotnik, voices "I miss my wife, Tails. I miss her a lot" before leaving the scene (shown below).
