In March 2019, it broke records again by hitting one million views, which Penny celebrated by uploading the raw audio for only the speech without the laughter, so any meme creators can manipulate it to their will.[7] This was a blessing to creators web-wide, leading to everything from vocoded versions of the speech and "but-edits" (a phenomenon of Replacement Remixes), to fan-produced animations and mutations into other media, to song mashups and even fandubs in other languages. It cannot be understated that the gag singlehandedly allowed for the SnapCube channel to grow an audience beyond expectations that was prepared for the next episodes of the show, leading up to "Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)". SnapCube's Real-Time Fandub had officially passed into the mainstream by this point.
In the middle of September 2021, the episode became the second video in SnapCube and Real-Time Fandub history to cross ten million views, second only to the Sonic '06 episode.
Drawbacks to virality: Freebooting and harassment
The clip had made it into masses of Twitter and Instagram memes (and compilations of those very posts on YouTube), and with this virality a discussion launched regarding freebooting, since many of these accounts (notably from the Twitter account @CursedVideos, which is now suspended) posted the clip without any credit or permission of Penny or the cast. She spoke about this topic and politely asked for the people doing so to provide credit to the original creator, citing the Eggman's Announcement clip as the reason she brought this up.
