SAHNIK is a 2014 April Fool's joke video by TheMidnightFrogs. It is a parody of Sonic X episode 1, based largely on the Sonic-related inside jokes between Yoshi, Thorn and JigglyJacob. It is played as being aired on WTMF-49, the television station that airs Tamers Abridged. It is purposefully nonsensical and lazily edited. The script can be read here, and the scriptwriting sessions can be downloaded here.
The video was originally a one-shot until it received a surprise sequel, KAYAK, seven years later for April Fool's 2021. The sequel stars Team Chaotix in the aftermath of SAHNIK's events.

Trivia
- Thorn was sick with hay fever during editing and thus low on patience, leading to the video being lazily edited and missing several sound effects. Yoshi preferred it that way, so it stuck as part of the video's style.
- Thorn and Yoshi reverse their usual Sgt Frog Abridged voice acting roles in the video: in SFA, Yoshi usually voices the lead character and little else, while Thorn voices a majority of the supporting cast. In this, Thorn primarily voices the lead character and Yoshi voices most of the supporting cast.
- Yoshi voices all of the police as Rainbow Dash from his Ask Deep Dash and Crazy Twilight audio blog.
- The video was originally uploaded as "Other People's Wedding Videos Abridged - Episode 2" as a prank on viewers who wanted a second episode of OPWVA. The sequel, KAYAK, continued the joke by being named "Other People's Wedding Videos Abridged - Episode 3: Crocodile Rock" for its first day.
- Thorn uploaded the recording sessions for her, Yoshi and Travis to Thorn's Archives.
