Spamton appeals to EVERYTHING I love (scummy businessman character, unique and spooky aesthetic with the ventriloquist doll, absolutely chaotic disposition, early 2000's vibes), to the point where I have no idea how any character will top them for me personally. It's both a unique combination of traits, and a widely appealing one at that due to how much Spamton optimizes them. It's funny, no character in Chapter 1 specifically really left an impression on me besides Seam. I had zero idea why people loved Jevil so much, I myself love creepy clowns and spooky colors, but he just kinda blended in with every other creepy clown out there. And King Spade's POINT was to be a generic evil ruler, sure, but it's also the end result. But then you have Chapter 2 with epic gamer Berdly, corruption GlaDOS Queen, and the absolute MASTER that is Spamton G. Spamton. Even the way he SPEAKS is unique. You can HEAR it in your head. I think the future chapters are gonna have amazing characters too, but how they'll measure up to something as unique and terrifying as Spamton is something I'm unaware of.

Some instances of you vs kris does something were changed in Chapter 1 in 2's release so it's definately meant to make a difference, but there's plenty of ACTs in chapter 2 where Kris is given "you did something" descriptions. Could be you forcing your will, or since "you whisper Noelle's name", it's Kris doing the same change of tone that worked for the pacifist/neutral route in hopes that she won't hear... But she does.

But it at least SEEMS to me like present-tense reads more like a command... while the past-tense remarks seem more like the narrator noticing that the character did this or that, kind of like "Huh, your throat tightened (after drinking the hot chocolate that reminds Kris of Asriel)" kind of deal.

That's one of the big things... Spamton's struggles are so relatable for so many of us. From YT creators, to contract workers, to people who have been manipulated, or abandoned, neglected, or are struggling not to give up on trying to make their lives better... He's the embodiment of that whole "NEVER give up!" mindset that's shoved into our faces all our lives, which inspires so many... yet, also leads so many to suffer. Sometimes, when you can't change your situation no matter how much you try, you end up losing quality & quantity of life if you keep trying & trying fruitlessly. It's so sad, I hate thinking about it... but sometimes, when it comes to certain goals, some people really SHOULD give up, after a certain point. I'm still wrestling with that now. Two decades of trying to figure out my health problems, wasting all those years poring over research & getting test after test, doctor after doctor, only to find that all those years went by without me, my sleep & stress levels have suffered & are causing me MORE health problems... If you keep attacking a giant's ankles fruitlessly, you'll get stomped over & over again, & accomplish nothing but your own injury & death. Like Spamton, I have to learn that sometimes, you have to play the hand you're dealt, even if it's a definite loss, & find freedom within your confines. 😮‍💨 Sometimes, fleeing the giant is the only way to survive... Back to this video though... Of course, it couldn't touch on EVERY single thing -- which is fine because this was already such a massive & content-filled video already, but I'll still mention for those who want to dig deeper: The additional Swatchling dialogue when you backtrack to guest rooms, talking about how over time Spamton spent less time in his own room, & more time down in the basement, praying... How if you try to insert the LoadedDisk into the Spamton-shaped mannequin with the dress (supposing you didn't buy it), it squirms in your hand & won't fit... How the Addisons try to avoid the subject of Spamton when Kris independently brings up the subject to them (clearly as invested in Spamton as we are, since he understands Kris in a way nobody else can)... And the fact that even the gritty uh, Peer-Pressure Route reveals some of the most harrowing details about Spamton's long-term suffering when he projects himself onto Kris (apparently screaming his throat raw & voiceless from trying & trying to call his benefactor through a prolonged emotional breakdown, & how over the years he still cried out his friends' names at the bottom of the dumpster, so lonely, so desperate to be with them again, but nobody came.😢)... ...EVEN THEN, you STILL made SUCH a deep, hard-hitting, & entertaining video that goes into such depth, notices & uses so much detail, & fully embraces what makes Spamton so compelling (& Toby such a genius!). All his different facets so LOVINGLY embraced & explained. Thank you SO MUCH for giving this character SUCH a worthy analysis, even analyzing his attacks themselves, emulating his speech style with fantastically creative editing, even full-on cosplaying to the haunting sound of the extracted vocals from "Big Shot". This video is a work of art in and of itself! Absolutely sharing this with all my friends & followers. You really did Spamton justice. Thank you! 😻

Spamton is many things: comical, tragic, horrifying, mysterious. He is an enigma and he doesn't really fit into Deltarune. But, when you put the pieces together, he fits in terrifyingly well, more well than you'd think at first glance. You were able to make good on talking about the successful little spambot and the new bits you added flesh him out more than any of us expected. If this is the direction Toby is taking his passion project, best to say I won't be touching that dial anytime soon.

...Speaking as an artist who's desparate and has yet to attain even the modest success Pyrr has... god some of this was just too damn real.

26:27 The thing I find great about this is that while Spamton is alone, Kris...never is. Because *we* call Noelle out. Kris is never alone because we're here, guiding his actions, while Spamton's own guide abandoned him a long time ago. It's as if Spamton was another protagonistic character, and Gaster was the player. Eventually, he got sick of the game, and stopped playing, leaving Spamton to crash and burn. Kris is a horrible mirror of Spamton, the example of what a guide that doesn't lose focus on their puppet can do, while Spamton is an example of what happens when that guide leaves.

I love how you slowly devolve into being Spamton.

What I like about Spamton's character is how he makes everything feel... wrong. When I first saw him, he just made me feel extremely uncomfortable, he obviously signals there is something wrong with him since the start, and this gets more visible during the sidequest. Being in the Queen basement while doing the sidequest feels like you're making a big mistake, like there is something wrong, and the music and overall creepy aura really give that feeling. Basically: I don't like him ingame, but I like his character because it makes me feel like that.

@@leedlelel2373 I meant it in the sense of consistence. Jevil's bullets revolve around cards and the joker card, because, well, yeah. King use spades and most of his patterns involve moving the box around with the chain. Queen is kind of random, but you can see consistent references to the Cyber World, which is kind of a theme since she rules it. Spamton however, he literally gets a new bullet or power for every attack he does, and, don't get me wrong, characters with lots of different, original powers are cool (someone tell that to the UT AU fandom), but I don't like that part of Spamton at all, most of his attacks don't have relation at all with the first fight, even though he's transformed, and he barely keeps the bullets consistent. Every attack, there's some new thing thrown at you. At least Queen stacks different types of bullets in a single attack, Spamton just makes new ones every turn. tl;dr: it's more of consistance with bullets than difficulty, tho he is easier than Jevil by far.

"Why is my body doing this thing?! I'm like a puppet on a string!"

Spamton was definitely my second favourite character in chapter 2 (Berdly is always Number 1 in my books). Mainly because I was in a VC with my friends while one of them played it, all of us voicing different characters, and one of us got the idea to have two different people, me being one of them, to voice Spamton at the same time. It was definitely the most fun I’ve ever had with voicing a character. It was a [ONCE IN A LIFETIME OFFER] and I loved it. It just added something to Spamton’s absurdity and lack of ‘please stay in one place’…ity.

This video is so good that I got a brief, confusing add for KZread 's premium service about drumming and thought it was part of the experience.

I respect the hustle, using a video on Spamton as an excuse to plug your shit as much as possible. in all seriousness, what a damn good video. Perfect encapsulation of the character. So I *will* get the gears flowing.

If Jevil’s craziness, Spamton is madness. He’s insane, and he KNOWS he’s insane. _And he hates it_ He’s a conman by nature, sure, but there’s some part of him that doesn’t like the cheap tricks he’s pulling, the way he’s using Kris as a puppet for his ambitions. But he’s come to far, he can’t give up now. And in the weird route, he’s genuinely HURT by Kris throwing it all away the instant he finally makes [[BIG]] again. Not even 5 minutes of being on top, and Kris is already trying to pull the plug on his act. Just. Like. Mike.

They're just working (surprisingly well) with what they're given.

Man, the voicing in this video is top-notch. As is the editing, script, and... actually, pretty much everything. I think that's why everybody fell in love with this [BIG SHOT] in the first place, he's such a unique combination of niche traits that they all just morph into something entirely new. Ya like scummy businessmen, early 2000's internet vibes, ventriloquist dolls, dealing with the devil, and existential dread? Spamton takes all of those inspirations, cranks them up to ten, and just RUNS with 'em. It's great. And it gives you an entity that's unforgettable in how much of an oddball they are. Even his [One of a kind!] speech patterns are [fit for a great night in San Fran]. I believe that even after this game's finished, Spamton will stand out as this game's Sans. Words like Kromer are already entering the basic lexicon of the internet, and there's fanart of him EVERYWHERE along with banger remixes of his theme. Not that other characters don't have a chance to usurp him, but he brings so many unique traits to the table that unlike Jevil, he's not fading away anytime soon at ALL.

spamton g spamton is the perfect character to design for *sudden green screen* _HEY_

As someone who was on the Internet in 1997, yeah this lil idiot was an instant hit with me hahaha. I really dig Spamtons humour and daft references. Also I always love an underdog character, especially ones that are complicated and W E I R D. His backstory though makes me really sad, gawd dammit Toby Fox how dya make us get attached to your characters so much lmao

I knew pretty much all the cold hard facts about Spamton, like garbage noise and NEO and stuff, but I never considered Kris' reaction to him. Which is sort of the point, from a storytelling perspective - _you_ don't take a step back, _Kris_ does. They're so overwhelmed with shock/fear/emotion in general that they literally break from your control for a split-second, which they haven't done any other time, afaik. That's wild. This has given me a whole new appreciation for HEY EVERY! that I didn't even want lmao. I really needed this step back to actually look at his character and lore. It's also got me spinning theories like crazy. I relate to this little guy so much now. He can have all three digits on the back of my credit card any day.

I love the implied parallel between Spamton's and Designing For's hope to become big. This was a pretty good breakdown already with the bracketed voices sprinkled throughout the video, but that cosplay... I've seen some theory videos that arguably "might" be more in-depth than this, but the amount of effort you put into the presentation is certainly far beyond a 30k subscriber-sized channel. Hopefully your channel gets the recognition it deserves soon!

I didn't expect you to cover this, at all. What a great surprise, looking forward to learning from this one! Nice job on all of these, I'm sure you're helping a lot of people by showing exactly why you appreciate things in games! Edit: Dear krud this was a lot to take in xD

It's so fascinating that Spamton knows about the other routes in the game but he literally can't speak it. The Thorn Ring is his 'commemorative ring', as he gives it to Noelle for the [LOW LOW PRICE] of his favourite year. When you attack him in the Snowgrave Route, he'll say, "It doesn't mean you can beat me up. Just because you bought my [Commemorative Ring]." In the normal route, he says to Kris, "Now's your chance to be a BIG SHOT!! And I've got just. The thing. You need. That's... [hyperlink blocked]." He knows that he'll become NEO if you follow the Snowgrave route and you're offered the Thorn Ring. He even tempts the player with, "You want it, you want [hyperlink blocked], _don't you?"_ clearly trying to squirm his way into the player's head.

I will admit....upon first seeing Spamton, I was terrified. But after some time, I freaking ADORE this guy. He became so facinating to me that I actually paid attention to his backstory and...it not only made me love him but incredibly sympathetic and empathetic towards him. Ironically enough, I absolutely HATE spam; spam emails, phone calls or just ads in general that I have no interest in. Spamton though...he is the exception. Before I realized it, I was hooked to anything about this guy, be it art, fanfics, videos like these and I just find myself craving MORE. It's insane how I laugh at this guy but also want to help him so damn bad. The thought of losing everything in a blink of an eye whether it be conequence of one's own actions or just because...is so damn scary. Nothing lasts forever. But...there is a reason for things not lasting forever. Imagine if Spamton never fell from grace. He is successful all the time. Everything is still there. He has everything. And yet...eventually...all of that loses value. It's...well, garbage. Money cannot buy what he would really need. In fact...he would still be a puppet on a string. Being forced to put on a show, a forced smile, being around people that make you feel alone. Though what had happened to him was terrible...it was a new beginning for Spamton...even if that new beginning stunk (Quite literally). While he couldn't escape his own strings that he need to keep himself up, he would at least be around someone who he can bond with and perhaps make even more friends along the way. What matters is that he won't be alone anymore. And with this newfound fame in the Deltarune/Undertale fandom, I'd say he has already made it big. To quote from a different game franchise, "At the end of everything, hold on to anything." Okay I rambled enough. lol

Ive never seen anyone analyse and comment on spamton in such a way, the video is amazing and despite all my laziness it brought me down to the comments to write this little sentence of support.

I think the reason peoples reaction to lighteners are different is Becuase of what they do in reality The toys seee lighteners as gods or very powerful beings as well to a Ty that’s what a lightener is it’s the god they choose what they do with the toy the make the toys story the toys decisions and fate are controlled by the lighteners Toys are meant to serve lighteners that’s there purpose Soamton is a spam email If he sees a lightened his first reaction would be to scam As that’s his purpose

SOAMTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alternate title 'Man has a mentalbreakdown while talking about videogame lore'

something i like about snowgrave is it almost feels like we have found a method to bypass being a "puppet". our choices don't matter, the game will always spit in our face whenever we try to make a decision, however, kris' friends are capable of altering the outcome's were forced into, hinted constantly through deltarune. and the ending of snowgrave shows this. spamton creates an ultimatum for you, expecting you to be unable to bypass it. neither can defeat one another, so your trapped in an endless loop. two puppets unable to change the outcome of the fight. but you already found your answer. we cannot make our own decisions, but we can get someone else to do it for us. that is why when we call noelle it says "you" called, and not kris. and the true irony of this, is spamton KNEW this. "gaster" altered his fate, he figured out the same thing as we did, and thats why he desperately tried to get us to befriend him, and the reason he couldn't do it after "gaster" left was because nobody would be his friend. his entire fight is a farce to attempt to gain attention, he wants us to become his friend, so he can finally become something more then just a insane empty husk. he attacks you in snowgrave because he realized that everything he did for us to be strong for brownie points was in vain, and we only had a selfish desire to push forward.

Yes, and the fact Berdly is probably unconscious or just DEAD means a lot for this. Your choices weren't meant to matter, but the Snowgrave route shows how desperate the player was to make their choices matter to the point of killing someone who could have some sort of importance later on.

That was a brilliant video, both the analysis and the production value put into making several of the sections just exude that Spamton quality.

It SCARES me how much you are able to connect to, embody, and even BECOME this character so much to the point where you're both elevating your analysis of him and your connection to him.... it scares me so good Like, we can all relate to the guy on one heck of a deep level as you say, but it's on another level for ya

Wow, this was an absolutely brilliant analyzes of Spamtom! I was entirely confused on why this character kept appearing on all my dashboards and decided to research. Your in-depth explanation was very informative. Also WHOOOA "he stares out into the audience but there is no audience" that hits hard. Haha, I relate hard with Spamtom. Amazing video. Faving.

Spamton is constantly performing in the hope someone will be watching? No wonder I relate to him so much

op: **describes how easy spams fight is** me: **died twice on my playthrough**

I'm honestly surprised that Toby probably knew about the charge shot glitch even before Chap2 release, wait until players find and use the exploit, and instead of patching it they made it something that interact in more tangible way with the game for added flavor during Spamton's fight.

When i first saw Spamton, i already knew all too well he was gonna become the new favorite character of the fan-base i just knew it.

Spamton is such a spectacularly written character. His tragedy teaches a valuable lesson by making you understand and empatize the unfairness, neglect, desperation, and loneliness of too many people in real life. They get backstabbed and ignored at their lowest point, and that's beyond fucked up.

I literally said aloud while watching this video, “this guy us better than Game Theory.”

This is amazing, I've been having trouble figuring out why i like spamton so much. I mostly write characters for animation so i forget to also include their gameplay mechanics. You dissected it beautifully. He really is sucking up to you during that whole first battle. It's genius. Great work!!!

despite the fact i was playing in a fairly neutral run for my first playthrough, i killed spamton because i decided i wasnt a fan about some shady businessman showing up in a back alleyway to make me to reveal my _anything_. but right as soon as he told me his... advice, i had this feeling my choices had meant i'd just missed out on something i would have liked. this was the point i knew for sure that i needed to do another playthrough, and i played the game like 5 times afterwards i then proceeded to completely forget that maybe, just maybe, the fact that my choice there had consequences (undertale-style) was a really big fucking deal in this game. im sure i wouldnt have killed spamton if i had waited just one turn, but i didnt hesitate to take my very own sweet bargain; keeping my soul to myself, while taking his. so, i proceeded to make an obligatory gex quote ("this is just like watching an NME commercial at J. P. spamley's house") before sealing the deal. i even got some ""cool"" advice for free! and you know what? i've been told i'm bad for killing spamton while playing blind, but i dont care. killing spamton on my first playthrough makes me a free thinker

A new Designing For!? 30 minutes in length!? Talking about Deltarune!? Oh how you spoil us!

I've seen most of the theories around spamton and this is definitely my favorite.

my favorite spamton video to this date, i really wasn't expecting such level of analysis and editing and fucking comedy ( **AND THE TIGER POSTER** ). I think i've gone a little insaner now i think i need to go sit outside or something. It's just really beautiful goddamn.

Nice video man. One of the best on Spamton I've seen

Very good video essay. You do a good job of touching on the various different kinds of appeal spamton has in a concise and accessible way. Hope to see more in the future

Honestly Spamton might be my favourite character in video gaming history. Not only does he fit very well into the story, not only is he a very balanced boss, not only is his name a masterpiece, not only is his voice amazing, not only is he a hilarious joy to watch and encounter. But Big Shot is the best thing Toby Fox has ever given us *change my mind*. He also breaks the fourth wall several times which is fun. He seems to be aware that he is in a sort of game and that makes him a really enjoyable character

The tiger interruption killed me x'D. Really good video. You described Spamton's whole thing beautifully, made me laugh several times, and made me emotional by reminding me how freakin sad Spamton's story is! hhhhhh you also pointed out a couple things I still hadn't noticed yet! Thank you!

Thank you for putting into video form what I had difficulty verbally explaining myself. I fell hard for this little trash puppet. Partly because of relatability (years of retail management), partly because of his design. Keep up the awesome work!

The fact that spampton seemed to be more focused on kris's inner feeling makes me think that the other secret bosses will be focused on the other character's inner feelings.

the cosplay was so unexpected but so fucking perfect i loved the creative details of this video so much

His cosplay is pretty good, I must admit it.

If you really want to be a voice actor then you can do it. I believe in you, let that fill you with determination!

You know, now that I think about it, what if spamton was talking to somebody still in the lighter world, because the garbage noise plays only when we try to contact the lighter world, what if gaster is in the lighter world? He could be hidden in that bunker at the edge of town, maybe once we uncover all the secret bosses that bunker will open and we will meet the man himself, because we collected the essence of those he told the truth to. We get an item from each boss so why not?

Spamton doesnt want to be a “puppet” and Kris doesn’t want to be our protagonist… hmmm

It’s a relief to hear someone use Kris’ correct pronouns. (Until the end, which actually got me confused for a second. Thought you were talking about Spamton)

The entire video was great, from the cut in old ad visuals, to the great script, to the way it was presented, hell, even the "check out my stuff" sale at the end was entertaining and kept me interested. This whole video about spamton's character is very reminiscent of the [[BIG SHOT]] of the hour [[HALF OFF WEEKEND SALE!!]] himself. (get it, because it's a 30 minute long video..... comedy) Also, it's been a while i've left a comment after being so late to something, but i just really enjoyed this video, it really sold me on subscribing to the channel.

Oh thank god, I can finally learn about him without finishing his boss battle. I struggled with the Berdly fights of all things, no way am I beating Spamton

As u can tell by my name I LOVE spamton, not just simping love, I mean once I saw him sure I was alittle weirded out but soon after the fight I started to love him. I love his personality, the lore, the mystery and of course the boss battle, not only that I also enjoy the art ppl make for him, the head canons, EVERYTHING! ^^ (Also same with all the hidden lore with him and any character of the game, it’s like he himself is a mystery :D )

The quality of this video turly is outstanding, excellent job!

I never thought the end of the Spamton Neo fight could be spun in a hopeful way for Spamton until you put it the way you did. I think I needed to hear that.

Interestingly spamton is really the only character that acknowledges kris's soul that i can recall. He also seems to know about the power of a human soul despite monsters never being sealed underground so nobody should know about the power of souls

I remember my first play-through of Deltarune, before I checked out what game secrets the community was sharing. I actually thought that Spamton was just some weird sales guy in an alley who was for some reason there, and forgot about him most of the time. But WOW, was I wrong. Turns out he had a LOT of lore I missed.

@@JohnnyGuiltyMan not directly. Just look up the tweets.

Deltarune has a real knack for being unnerving. It's really fun and funny and you love the characters but it's fantastic at giving you undercurrents that something is *wrong* here. Spamton's first few appearances do such a good job of bringing that feeling to the forefront, making you uncomfortable and knowing that anyone with good sense would steer clear of all of this. And, like the Snowgrave route which he thrives in, that's exactly what makes pursuing it further so irresistible. He needs this, and you need to see why.

One interesting thing about Spamton is that if he knows about the game world he lives in, it stands to reason that he knows exactly what his role in that game He knows that he's just a side character. He knows that any chance he has to be relevant at all depends on whether or not you choose to activate the Spamton NEO fight. For someone who wants to be a "Big Shot", imagine how crippling it must be fully aware that you are just a small, optional side character in a much grander stage. Not even in full control as to whether or not that relevance actually gets granted to him. For Jevil, this allows him peace amongst the chaos. Because his choices don't matter and therefore any consequences he might face aren't real. He's ironically content in the nihilistic chaos whereas a man as ambitious as Spamton fights it at every turn.

to me ,one of his scariest dialog is just " what???? no. i didnt say anything just now!... _but i think they were talking to _*_y o u._* "
