At one point, Robotnik says, “It’s time to push buttons,” briefly before hitting the red button in an attempt to kill Sonic with his weapons. The original clip that the meme is pulled from is seen during Sonic the Hedgehog, released on January 25th, 2020, specifically the scene referred to as “Time To Push Buttons.” During the scene (featured below), Sonic and his friends encounter Robotnik in his ship atop a building. Robotnik himself is also labeled as someone or something that relates to the choices given above. The format is typically used in conjunction with the top panel of the Daily Struggle meme, with two contradicting objects labeled to each button (one red, one blue) where Robotnik presses the red one in the lower frame.
