Top 10 Ways Sans is the Most Overrated Character In Undertale

The Top Ten
1 He's nowhere near as powerful as the fanbase makes him out to be

Sans Toxic Fans: No one can beat Sans not even your "insert an characters who's canoncially stronger and powerful than Sans" can.
Me: Then why he loses to a smol child with a sticks/knifes in Genocide mode huh?
Seriously Sans is not a gary stu.

If you compare him with the 3 other strong characters in the game he is notably the weakest as he really does damage to chara while the 2 others which being undyne and asriel he ether does no damage at all or only does one damage

You are right he has one health point and is weak in attack damage. Exept you forgot he is fast, can remimber your playing strategy and adjust to it, and he is genius. He worked on making souls and bodys! So he is powerful just in a different way.

People thinks he is powerful character in this game then they said this is my favourite character I think people just like powers not emotions.

2 Papyrus was both way funnier and kind of a better character

Fangirls and fanboys alike worship Sans while Papyrus has the most sad death (in my opinion) in any route as well as having an emotional connection with the player rather quickly. What makes Sans a good character are the characters surrounding him and bolstering his development. People forget that Papyrus is the whole reason Sans even has a battle with you in the Genocide route. Sans's character is built around his love for Papyrus and with good reason: Papyrus is amazing! He's a kind character (the only one that still believes in you even in the Genocide route) and his tomfoolery make him stand out! Papyrus is a unique and eccentric character you can't help wanting to love and protect.

Yeah, if you've ever had the guts to play the Genocide run, Papyrus's death is easily one of the most impactful. In his last words, he says that he still believes that you can change, despite you killing everyone in Snowdin up to that point. Whereas Sans just tries (and succeeds) to kill you, telling his life story of him giving up and his nihilist point of view.

My problem with Sans is that we saw WAAY to much of him in the game. We got much less time around Papyrus, who was funnier, more interesting, and overall was a better character than Sans. Whoop de doo, Sans can shoot blasters, but the fangirls seem to forget how hilarious and more engaging Papyrus was.

If you ask me, papyrus was probably the main character in Snowdin

3 The memes; oh, the memes, memes, memes, memes, MEMES

"fangirls" huh? what about all the 14 year old boys I've come across that worship?

4 He is most certainly NOT the best character; that would have to be either Alphys or Mettaton

Mettaton and Alphys are really good characters. literally they are my favorite characters. sad enough barely anybody ever talks about them. even more sad I showed Alphys to my sister and she asked "is that Sans"
I would love to see more on Alphys and Mettaton.

I think I want to learn more about Gaster, and Alphy's reason why she's staring in the abyss before she met Undyne, and how the other colored souls die and how they got into Asgore's hands. Sure, he's interesting, but I find his puns really bad and corny.

Seriously, Asgore and Mettaton are better than Sans. On every Undertale related fansite/wiki/reddit/forum there is 90% Sans and 10% other characters like what

Undyne is best girl Papyrus is best boy. Your argument is invalid.

5 WAY too many freaking recolors

Oh my gosh the sans multiverse was the worst thing since sharknado. Literally, the daycare versions are so cringy. They’re all boys, why do they have to love each Other? they're IN FLIPPING DAYCARE I'm SO TRIGGERED *insert meme here*

6 All of his numerous alternate-universe counterparts, most especially Underswap Sans

I remember when I was a new undertale fan, I saw a comic dub of PJ's daycare or something and I had absolutely no idea what was going on. All I saw was a bunch of crappy recolours talking to each other and frolicking around like little babies.

Error Sans, Gaster Sans, Underfell Sans, and the stupidest thing I ever heard... Sansy Fresh. I even seen someone make a Tori Sans. And in 600 years, Jerry Sans.

7 Skeletons aren't sexy

They aren't meant to be sexy. Skeletons are mainly for Halloween stuff. So whoever put this "Skeletons aren't sexy," thing then they are a perv. Whoever agrees with me then they are not a perv.

Sans is suck. only stupid peoples find fat skeleton sexy, he dress like a lazy people. And short. Haha. Papyrus is best!

Sans probably is shorter than me and I'm very short

Tell that to people with necrophilia

8 Involved in so many shippings that it's literally impossible to keep track of all of them

Soriel especially. SORIEL IS A SIXTY YEAR OLD GOAT DATING AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD SKELETON. At the very most they're friends. People think oh hey they're friends now they're automatically attracted to each other. Sans x anyone is dumb. Sans can't have a kind of relationship that requires work. He is too justified for tori, who prefers to listen to her heart. Somehow he's being shipped with his brother?! WTFUDGE?! Honestly he's a good character nice guy but people overrate him. not to mention the large amounts of ocs like SHES HIS girlfriend BUT LIKE WAY MORE POWERFUL SHE doesn't LIKE FRISK OR TORI BECAUSE SHE THINKS THEYLL STEAL HIM FROM HER LIKE SHE MET SANS AND IT WAS LOVE. I hate those Mary Sues and any sans ship is horrible.

Frans and Soriel fans are both CANCER! Any Sans ship(except sans x ketchup because it is technically cannon) is cancer, it’s mostly the fans that make it cancer and cause problems in the undertake fandom. Sans is just a bro to everybody, and will never be anything more that that! And seriously, FONCEST?! GIVE ME BLEACH FOR MY EYES!

There are so many ships that it's turned the fandom into Pearl Harbor

9 Undertale, though an all-time great, is quite easily one of the most overrated games of all time

I like many enjoy the game, but I can admit that the game has become overrated.

True definitely, its like a good game with bad bandwagons

10 He isn't freaking Ness, and he probably wouldn't win a fight against Ness either

Heh heh... True. If a little girl Frisk could beat him, Ness could.

The Contenders
11 People have the nerve to ship him in a passionately sexual manner with his own brother

Reminds me of people who ship three certain people from Unova. *shudders*

Meh, it's nowhere NEAR as bad as, say, shipping Alphys with the Amalgamates (pauses to go and drink the brain bleach)

Oh my god, they are brothers, BROTHERS!

Fontcest was worse than anything, probably due to sketon bro-only AUS

12 Sans X Toriel is nothing compared to Alphys X Undyne

I do not even think of it as canon, I see Sans and Toriel having a platonic relationship, a friendship, that is. It was never canon in the first place. I see Toriel as a woman who will never love again after THAT incident with Asgore and stay as an independent woman who will watch the days pass by, Sans would only be her friend or either a pun buddy.

Compared to Alphys x Undyne, I don't think Sans Fangirls would be happy if he is shipped with Toriel.

A thought of a four foot tall nihilist skeleton that likes jokes and a motherly kind goat that is almost two times taller than the skeleton loving each other makes me RoFl

I know Alphys X Undyne actually has some sort of CANNON(True Pacifist) relationship which makes that ship even better

I hate Sansriel. Toriel is probably WAYY older than Sans, but just because they used to chat doesn't mean they love eachover. I ship Sans and Frisk/Chara.

13 Easily the worst fanbase out of all of the characters; horrible enough to make even Muffet blush
14 His Genocide battle isn't really all that hard, and the Pacifist final battle was honestly better

Flowey makes a better boss.
Invalid is invalid, idiots.
Get rent.

15 He isn't even the actual final boss of the Genocide Run
16 Undyne's Genocide fight was a bit harder in some ways

I managed to no hot undyne the undying she is super easy but sans._. The most I could no hit was 2 attacks after he got tired

AGREED. Undyne is so much harder with those bullet hell attacks. Sans is hard, but not as difficult as Undyne.

17 He's the most requested Undertale character for Smash...over Mettaton, Frisk, Papyrus and Alphys

Worse, he ACTUALLY MADE IT INTO SMASH! As a Mii costume, but still. Also that Mii costume of him overshadowed literally everything else about the most recent Smash Ultimate update, including the otherwise highly anticipated addition of Banjo & Kazooie and return of Home Run contest.

AS soon as UT came to the switch, I knew Mettaton could be a cool SSBU assist, even though I knew it would never happen. But THIS?!?! ID RATHER HAVE SHAGGY

Sans isn't even the star of Undertale. Plus, Toby doesn't want his game on a Nintendo device anyway.

Why would they put Undertale in Smash Bros? They have nothing to do with each other.

18 His jokes are boring, forced and unfunny, whereas most of the other characters derive their humor from having genuinely entertaining and charming personalities

Aren't his puns supposed to be bad though?

19 Contrary to popular belief, he's a bit underdeveloped for the type of character that he is

When the most important things established about Sans are his powers and not his personality, you know he is underdeveloped

20 He distracts the fanbase from trying to figure out the vastly more intriguing mystery surrounding Gaster

I hate Sans, but honestly I think Gaster is even worse.
Personally I think Asriel is the most interesting character.

21 During the Snowdin segment of the game, Papyrus was pretty much the only thing that actually made him funny
22 Although he does have a pretty shocking plot twist, it's nowhere near as shocking as Alphys' or Asriel's

Is that even a "plot twist"?

23 Papyrus, Mettaton, Temmie and especially Alphys are all far cuter

Alphys' is such a precious, awkward bean. More better than a talking skeleton who does nothing but laze around and drink ketchup as if it were a normal drink.

24 His whole schtick of loving ketchup had already been done years ago with Pikachu
25 Also gets foot-fetish art while Alphys doesn't

I don't see how Alphys not geeting foot-fetish "art" is a bad thing.
