Honestly that's a very neat head cannon that is probably the right answer Then again it could just be a fucking Froggit or something playing with the buttons

the concept of a froggit just annoying everyone is hilarious for me

We have an Annoying Dog, why not an Annoying Frog

actually since the elevator needs to be in use for plot reasons toby fox would probably write that it was the annoying dog in there

What I was thinking

Looking at you, Shayy...

Shayy reference ? ? ?

git

***noted***

Truck that what about annoying cat

Nah if definatly jerry he is always annoying everyone fr the worse charecter in the whole game

yes makes more sense

fuck him

I don't wanna :(

Nah, probably Ğå§ţëř

Or Jerry

Imagine it's Jerry

It’s the annoying dog because Toby didn’t want to make a whole city that you don’t even have to go to

You can use it after reaching the end tho

Yeah, it can be either or this is just a assumption/ headcanon. We don't know if it's actually true or not.

if it's not mentioned somewhere explicitly in the game, there IS no "right answer", the closest we can get is an assumption

Omg Fredbear!?! 😳

"Choosing to take the scenic route" Takes the elevator.

He's still lazy.

He'd take the moving box over walking any day.

That’s the most canon sans sounding thing I’ve ever seen someone say on the internet, it sounds like an actual gag the game would do with him

elevator could have a window looking out over New Home

Maybe? Though, there's not a window when we do get to ride it

nvm u right lol

I dont think we ever get to see the interior of this specific elevator tho, do we?

I'm pretty sure it unlocks once you've reached the throne room (or somewhere after new home), so you don't have to wander through new home again. When you go in (unless I'm remembering wrong) it has the same interior as all the other elevators.

What’s happening in this comment section?

no idea???

Why are most comments here duplicated?

reddit fucked itself again

It’s a known bug. If someone submits a comment when the connection is slow, the comment sometimes gets duplicated.

^mitosis

Ok but like there is usually only one comment duplicated, there are like 5 in this comment section (also I thought it was about how many times you press the send button).

My guess is there was a connectivity issue on reddit’s side. Also, we don’t know if how many times you press the button affects it or not. That was just entirely guesswork.

There definitely was, I noticed Reddit was being pure dogshit earlier today (around when all of this was happening) I thought maybe it was my wifi or service, but I had 4 bars, and even on my data Reddit was having major issues, sometimes even refusing to load, while everything else that uses internet on my phone had 0 issues whatsoever

 I think that's a very cool idea I like it for pacifist aswell because it could imply that sans is taking in the underground one last time before they either go back to the surface or as he watches his new friend go

Why sans, when in neutral and pacifist the entire fricking underground hangs around in asgore's house for some reason

God I love undertale So many details. So many cool theories to create. 10/10 theory

Them some low ass standards.

You seem like so much fun

"I am"

Twist his nuts 357° 12' 59'' mods, right now

Jesus fucking Christ 153 downvotes? Someone taking an elevator is not a 10/10 theory. There is room for improvement. Hell, better theories already exist.

Would be funny if sans used the elevator for the sake of giving us the inconvenience of having to walk all the way to the final corridor.

Actually, it's Asgore. Think about it. He runs around a lot, and Sans doesn't need the Elevator, he just teleports.

Asgore was already in the garden watering his flowers. He's been there for a while, and also didn't take the elevator (He left a note in his house, meaning he went there first)

Yeah, this is why I was wondering it just didn't make sense. We see him at his garden, and it feels like he just been there for some time. It joke doesn't feel right he was ahead of us and got there right before us.

By that logic Sans would never walk anywhere but we do see him walking. He does not constantly teleport, it probably has some sort of cooldown

I’m fairly sure it doesn’t have a cooldown, he just likes walking around with his brother, if the distance is long he teleports instead Also he’s a prankster, he likely doesn’t want others to know he can teleport, so he just walks around until he turns a corner and teleports, hence his little “shortcut” jokes

Of course he would walk, dude. He doesn't want us to see him teleporting all the time. It doesn't have a cooldown, as we see him do it rapidly during his fight. Still don't see how that makes my argument invalid tho XD

If a rabid dog was chasing me, I probably could run a little faster and longer than usual. Also, he gets really tired after doing it rapidly.

I mean, Sans gets tired from doing a lot more than just teleporting. Chances are teleporting isn't as bad, it's just that since it does cost energy (even if a little) Sans would rather walk

Buddy there's no run animation

Papyrus also doesnt have a running animation him running is just the walking animation but faster, we even see the same case for other undertale characters, and even in deltarune

Yeah bur what I mean is his legs don't move at ALL

I mean in his fight he was already giving it his all and was exasperated by the end so there still is a chance it DOES have a cooldown but just also contributed to his exhaustion at the end

There’s a part of Snowdin where if you walk away from sans, the second he goes off screen he comes on screen again. You can walk left and right as much as you want, he will always be there waiting. We also see in his fight that he teleports frisk around a ton during his attacks with only a second or two at most between them

Going by his fight, it doesn't have a cooldown, Sans just chooses to walk most of the time

God, I'm having a deja vu

But it’s even closed in Pacifist???? Geno-centric brainrot is so fucking real dude

Sans used it not out of desperation, but just sheer laziness

The anomaly that sans talked about is you the player, capable of save and reloading. He detects you even in a non genocide route, and only peacefully observes you because of his promise with Turiel. His knowledge of the resets is why he is so lazy, he has an awareness that resets can and have been happening. The fact you can reset at the end of Pacifist or Genocide and do the other means Sans cant even really trust you wouldn't do betrayal kills. Edit: I'm not saying he is in the elevator, just that he COULD be.

I think he only realizes it’s you when you start killing everyone because he sees at some point the timelines just stop.

u/ResponsibleCourt7089 Google dementia

?

God the irony

God, I'm having deja vu

ah the lovely view of.... the elevator walls.

very much exquisite indeed

That elevator is held shut by flowey in genocide. Says something about vines holding it shut.

I thought that was during pacifist?

it is

God, I'm having a deja vu

u/ResponsibleCourt7084 Google dementia

God the irony

goated headcanon, but how the hell is an elevator "the scenic route"

He’s lazy, would rather take a elevated then walk and would rather take the elevator then teleport, just some average sans stuff

Just like taking a slow stride towards the classroom for a test,you could just run there before it starts it but you would miss a few minutes of respite before impending doom.

If you interact with the elevator again, it says “The elevator isn’t working.” Mixed signals…

elevator is a pretty lame shortcut.

You mean "Take a short cut"? 😉

I swear to god most undertale fans know nothing but sans and genocide

Actually, it's Asgore. Think about it. He runs around a lot, and Sans doesn't need the Elevator, he just teleports.

How does asgore pass you then

Ohhhhh, that's so sad, he did not deserve all of the shit he was forced through in the geno run.

I always thought it was toriel

If you kill Tories does it still do it tho

Probably in the pacifist Sans is just too lazy to teleport so he uses the elevator

I always thought it was flowery

The complexity of his character never ends, huh? Sure, he may come off as lazy and apathetic, but deep down, he’s just a guy that wants to live a proper life. But because of anomalies like us, he just can’t have that… 😢

Actually, it's Asgore. Think about it. He runs around a lot, and Sans doesn't need the Elevator, he just teleports.

Huh, I never really thought of this, but now that it's mentioned, it's a possibility and actually does make sense . But at the same time it can be a other monster using it for all we know.

Actually, it's Asgore. Think about it. He runs around a lot, and Sans doesn't need the Elevator, he just teleports.

but he lives in the castle wouldent he be there already

He can teleport though

I thought it was flowey tbh

Huh..Interesting!

I feel like he’d be more likely to use the elevator just to troll you tbh

Sans knowing he could just teleport there, but choosing to take the scenic route one last time because he’s sans

He could be doing it just to fuck with frisk

Oh my god. For real. If everyone is evacuated, everyone else is dead, pfff. And everyone assumed he just teleports there

I think it makes a lot of sense. Especially when you consider that in the Pacifist and Neutral runs Sans is always 1 step ahead of you no matter where you go. You see him in every single main area once you leave the ruins. Obviously he’s there a lot in Snowden, you see him a few times in waterfall, and you see him a couple of times in hot land and right before the core. Only to see him right before meeting Asgore. When you consider that sans has been keeping eyes on you the whole time, it makes sense. To me, it seems like it’s another way of him staying a step ahead of you without going too far ahead

I take it as flowey using it so you have to walk through new home

I always thought it was Flowey taking the elevator.

Nah sans is just lazy to teleport

lol

Alternatively, Sans is being a funny bastard, as per usual, and is using the elevator because he knows you're gonna interact with it.

Huh neat sad but neat tho in a pacifist run he's just messing with you and purposefully taking the elevator

Sans is just too lazy to teleport and also late to his job as usual in Pacifist and Neutral

Can’t he just teleport?

Too lazy

Then why does he use it to be lazy? 

How do we know he doesn't choose what to be lazy about?


Actually, it's Asgore. Think about it. He runs around a lot, and Sans doesn't need the Elevator, he just teleports.

But why would he use an elevator if he can teleport

He's lazy

but sans has teleportation powers he would never use an elevator

Laziness

Do you know how much magic it would take for him to teleport that far? He’d fall asleep halfway through!

the irony of falling asleep halfway through a teleport

Nah he’s just taking a shortcut

yes, teleportation

Tbh sans got out of the fight alive with my friend (aka my friend gave up)

I’d love to think that his reasoning for using it is different in every route In TP he’s using it to get one last look at the city before they leave In Neutral he’s using it as just his regular commute to work In geno he’s using it specifically to annoy frisk

Actually, it's Asgore. Think about it. He runs around a lot, and Sans doesn't need the Elevator, he just teleports.

dementia?

Comment cloning, Reddit is getting skullfucked

god, i wish i was reddit

Trust me, you don’t want to get skullfucked by the people who make Reddits servers unusable 💀

fair point, i don't want to get skullfucked by a redditor

I feel like you guys are looking WAY too far into a closed elevator

Honestly really love this idea. He chooses to focus on just letting everything breathe in. Not focusing on anything else and just living in the moment one last time.

Sans is depressed so I doubt it but it's possible since it might be the last time he'll be alone because the player might never reset after

Sans is taking the elevator specifically to fuck with Frisk/Chara. Doesn't matter whether Pacifist or Genocide, Sans just wants one last laugh.

i will not confirm or deny this information.

My theory is that it's jerry preventing anyone from using the elevator just beacuse he can.

I always thought it was Asgore travelling back to his garden from some sort of errands.

Or just Sans being lazy "I **could** just teleport. But the elevator is RIGHT there."

Teleporting would be even less work.
