Because I really didn't feel like working another 12 hour day... Here are some of Sonic's recent YouTube uploads. They must be videos from his early years. The resolution is super low and the strategies are not for high level games. However, they are hilarious. They made me chuckle anyways...
A rough description of each "strategy" is in the spoilers before the YouTube embeds.
Build forge and cannons. Lull opponent into false sense of security by making the cannons fire on your own nexus. Build hidden forward gateways. Pretend to be a girl. Pull all probes and go.
Pretend to mine gas for ling speed. Get burrow instead and build only drones. Bait opponent into rushing. Pull all drones at the right time and burrow them near the natural. Ambush enemy marines. Lose but pretend that you won and laugh like a mad man.
Lift the command center immediately after the game begins and move to your opponent's natural. Use a chatting rush to deceive your opponent into thinking that you moved to an island base. Pull all your SCVs and march your marines into your opponent's unprepared base.
Block the ramp to your main with two drones. Get gas. Get burrow and destroy your own extractor. Get zerglings and burrow them below an overlord so that they are hidden. Turn on vision. Wait for your opponent to rush into finish off your noob ass. Turn off vision at the last moment and build static defense. Use the previously burrowed zerglings to sneak around the enemy forces and raze the unguarded enemy main.
Trick Terran into thinking that your main is elsewhere by blocking the ramp to another main with two probes. Build a hidden pylon at the nearby natural. Let Terran's FD attack deep into the fake main, build cannons at the nearby natural to shut in the FD forces and send your own counterattack to the empty enemy main.
Block the ramp with SCVs. When the enemy probe arrives, lift your CC away and hide your SCVs in the corner and let the enemy probe inside. Chatting rush! Tell your opponent that you've moved to an island base. After the probe leaves, send your SCVs at the ramp to your enemy main as distraction and land your CC and prepare to rush with marines to your opponent's defenseless main.
7 pool fast burrow build. Attack and prevent cannons and other buildings from being used to wall off by burrowing at those spots. Laugh like hell as your opponent swears up a storm even though ling speed would have ended things faster.
Block the ramp with two marines. Three barracks. Start building factory. Lift two barracks. Turn vision on and off SUPER FAST. Enemy sees only the one barracks and one factory because lifted buildings don't show up after the vision is turned off. Cancel the factory and land the barracks. Pull all SCVs and go with mass marines. Enemy is unprepared because he thinks that he saw a 1 factory build.
i checked them all and actually "Gassy Grandma" and "The King of Trolls" are strategically genius. "Groundhogs" and "Troll Terran" are honorable mentions too
I realize now that not only Kerrigan was infected, I see. Sonic was the 2nd chosen of Overmind. This guy's mind is so inadequate, psychedelic, stunning, eye-opening, astonishing, overwhelming, reckless, frightening, hair-raising, dangerous and breathtaking.
BTW, we really starting to miss and forget next SBENU SSL. C'mon Sonic, you already did preliminaries 2 months ago, why you waiting still? Just let us know.

thank you so much for this thread! do post more if you can find them!
Got a question: in Troll Terran (vid below), was it played on LT? How did he know where the Protoss would be spawning? and the protoss got curious a bit too soon to be able to scout all 3 other positions.. + Show Spoiler +
haha, some of these are brilliant. Sonic does seem to like his worker pulls This one was not included but is probably his best troll:
