your reaction was pretty fun merg, this was a nice video. sans telling you to learn the truth is in the game, only for him to prank you with a note that says you got owned in his room. you'll only learn about the three people drawing with the note "dont forget" after talking to clam girl that tells you about suzy and clam girl's dialogue was updated to telling you that "the time you will meet her is fast approaching" before deltarune's release, so maybe people aren't too crazy with the deltarune theories..?

By looking at the type of things that Toby has done already, that probaly was just a little reference he did for fun.

If Sans was still Ness at that point, which is necessary for the photos to be evidence, Frisk would not recognize him either.

This was Matpat's best video ever, and it will stay that way now since he retired :D.

11:33 that one kid called franklin: 🥲

9:10 - This was added in the 1st Undertale update, which was like 3 months after it released. Deltarune wouldn't be seen until almost 3 years after that. (Though yeah, the 'don't forget' part was likely meant as a hint toward it. The Switch port also had a rare interaction that hinted at Deltarune too... which released about a month later. 😅) 26:22 - Well, Mr. Sakurai seemed to make a little ("wink, wink") reference to this 'meme', after Sans got a costume in Smash Bros a few years back, in 1 of his "pic of the day" posts.

It's really strange to me how well crafted the theory actually is, it's just such a weird leap in logic and connection that doesn't really make any sense that makes it sound insane. In another world, this theory, despite its insanity, is so strong that it genuinely convinces parts of the fan base.

This is the first time I've heard the Game Theory intro in over 5 years, and it's not even in a GT video 😂

This is the perfect thing to react to for April Fool's, though it's a little awkward now that MatPat has retired from video-making.

Wow I've never imagine you'd react to this one😂 I first watched this one a few weeks ago and this couldn't have been a more fitting upload❤

11:30 WHO, THE HELL, IS FRANKLIN!?!?

Sans = papyrus = ness = gaster

"should i be worried about somthing here?" *looks at insanity ending* *nah* your fine!

I usually choose to believe Sans (cough i mean Sand) is from Deltarune. The "dont forget" is the fun gang. But we didn't know the fun gang 8 years ago so its a valid theory!

Ok, now, time to P rank all levels with noise.

Merg reacting to things is actually so entertaining though! Both this and the Underevent video were both really funny, actually... I'd love to see more of this! Undertale Event 2 (this is a separate thing that exists) might be a good candidate for that if you haven't seen it already, now that I think about it. It's essentially an official(?) Underevent shitpo- I mean a far superior event to Underevent. God I would LOVE to see the reactions to that >:). It's genuinely some of the peakest content I've ever witnessed

Bro you made me think you were gonna play earthbound

i really didnt expect a reaction video from merg. glad he is trying out new stuff.

and he walks away so you dont see his human soul drop

Anyone else remember buzz buzz ? The O.P. bug at the start of Earthbound that represents players who already played this. I want him to tie into this somehow. Some people say buzz buzz is ness from the future.

The funniest part about this theory is that it isn't that farfetched considering the information we had about Undertale at the time of its making. I could totally see an alternate universe where Toby purposefully put these details in as an homage to his favorite game.

Hello! Been a while since I've watched this channel, but thought I'd drop by (and apparently chose the perfect time to do so, this video is great lol) Anyways, hope you're doing well!
