So between 2007 and 2008 when my uncle would show me Youtube videos he'd download onto his PS3, one of the videos he liked to show was this weird old live action Sonic parody.
To describe it, imagine people dressed like how they do in this infamous video but if it had came way before that, and the video was actually a 'story' involving Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles fighting Eggman and his robots;

From what I remember, the video started off with someone holding a piece of paper to the camera with "Sega" written with blue marker while some guys crudely sing the famous "SEGA" jingle.
Then after that the "title screen" of the video shows the live action Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles posing together outside in front of a park with a "Sonic Live Action" or "Sonic Live" title plastered above them.
To describe what Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles looked like in this video, again, it was similar to that other video I linked before; a bunch of guys painted with blue, yellow, and red bodypaint, they all had mammal noses put on there faces, Tails was played by a shorter guy with blonde hair wearing a white beard, Knuckles did NOT wear dreadlocks but his hair was curly and was painted either red or black and I think he wore sunglasses, and Sonic had his mohawk quills.
Eggman and his robots were also in this video; Eggman did NOT have moustache nor did he look fat, but he did wear glasses and wore something that looked like his usual red lab coat; the robots were played by people wearing really crude cardboard cutout designs; I remember one of them looked like they were a trash can. They also made a bunch of "robot noises" that sounded like a bunch of squawking.
So the story of this video is, Sonic and Tails I guess were going on a trip collecting rings. By the way, this video tried to mimmick the gameplay in the old Sonic games, so often the Sonic actors would be filmed running around in the park, they'd collect paper cut out rings, hold the rings in the air before the rings disappear, the actors would roll around on the grass to defeat the robots, ect.
The robots would then captures Tails when he's just standing around. Sonic knows he has to rescue Tails so he asks for Knuckles' help. By the way, in this video Knuckles had a catchphrase where he'd always go on about how he'd "punch things with my fist!" So whenever Knuckles would answer something he'd say he'd use his fists.
The video has Sonic and Knuckles fight the robots and then face Eggman before they defeat him and rescue Tails. And then the video ends with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, and probably Eggman too, all at a costume party as the credits roll as a bunch of other people, some of them wearing Harry Potter costumes, are laughing with them.
I also remember with this video, whenever the characters talked, the camera would always be faced at the characters heads with them talking with a dubbed-in voice over. I guess to make it look like the characters are showing the story like how they would in old video games where they'd have text with images of characters talking. Also I guess the live action footage was shot without sound so they put different sound in the video for them talking.
I honestly have had no luck finding this video so either its long gone or may I havent searched hard enough since theres alot of "live actin Sonic" videos that have come out way after this video did.
