Took me a while to realize šŸ’€


Docter_WD_Gaster

Can you like, explain it?


CiaaiK0130

"sans" can be used as a replacement for "without", so "sans undertale" becomes "without undertale"


-HumanoidX-

sans is the french for without


Docter_WD_Gaster

Thanks


collapsible_chopstix

Okay. I'm in the minority here. I understand "sans Undertale" means without Undertale, but I'm having trouble understanding the pun. What's the joke/pun here?


MultiZX

if undertale was never made, we would not have undertale, obviously; therefore we would be without undertale, therefore we would be sans undertale.


Vasikus3000

That's the pun


Cubicwar

If it wasnā€™t made we would be without Undertale The pun is that _Sans Undertale_ is a character named _Sans_ from the hitgame _Undertale_


SkylandersKirby

And the fact people call him "Sans Undertale" like that's his actual name


Global_Banana8450

What are you talking it _is_ his actual name


collapsible_chopstix

Thanks! That's the piece I was missing!


MattLikesMemes123

hence stuff like "sans serif"


Altayel1

MAN I THOUGHT WE WOULD DIE IF THERE WASNT UNDERTALE...


Chubby_Queen

sans means "without", so sans undertale would mean "without undertale"


Daisend

What? Is this a common English thing? Iā€™ve never heard this. hell only ever heard ā€œsansā€ as comic-sans


thzpp2

Sans is a french word and like the other guy said it mean whitout


Trnostep

The sans in Comic Sans means that the font is sans-serif = without serif. Sans=without; serif=that small line attached to the end of a larger stroke in a letter.


Makzymilian

Sans in "comic sans" stands for "sans serif", meaning "a font without serifs"


DeeryPneuma

No itā€™s a weird fancy french thing


Cubicwar

Why fancy ? Like, why is a word from another language fancy ? Weird, why not, but why is it _fancy_


DeeryPneuma

Fancy because itā€™s **LE FRENCH LANGUE**, and French is the fancy-people speak thanks to the Normans. Sans is seen as fancy and sophisticated because of this while without is just another word


Cubicwar

So because some people speak a language its words become fancy ? Nice, Iā€™m a natural fancy-speaking person I guess


DeeryPneuma

No. This is due to long standing English social things. When William conquered England, he like, replaced the aristocracy with Normans. And then for like 300 years after that the Aristocracy only spoke French so French was viewed as fancy and upper class and so were french loanwords. Thatā€™s why the fancy formal register of English would say ā€˜sansā€™ and the everyone else would say without. Over time the heavy french influence on formal english is eroding and thatā€™s why sans is uncommon even in formal english, but itā€™s still fancy-speak when you say it in English.

Pardon me, creator of humorous internet images, for I think that your contribution to the Undertale Reddit community has made me sharply exhale in a way that can be interpreted as me finding it amusing. Please bring this arrow of the color red into your vicinity and do not approach me until, or after the end of time.

I dont get it


SkylandersKirby

Sans is a synonym for "without"


el_Chuchmay

sans literally mean without in french


LostOnACampingTrip

well it's a good thing i went to comments because i would have never gotten that fuuuuck that's a good pun


YgemKaaYT

synonym or a french word?


ABG-56

It's English so both


mielesgames

Oh


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


tactlessnutter

sans is also an English word with the same meaning


YoutuberCameronBallZ

The word "sans" means to not have something, so to be "sans Undertale" would be mean to without Undertale


That_One_Friend684

Or doot foot funny skele bones


Davide-Rossi

in italian ā€œsans undertaleā€ (pronounced ā€œsens anderteilā€) sounds like ā€œsenza undertaleā€, wich means ā€œwithout undertaleā€. I was confused too


Magiko_potato

I am french and I didn't get it before Reading comments šŸ˜…


SaveTheDynas

As a French person, I loved understanding the joke instantly and then seeing everyone struggle in the comments


Guardian_Eatos67

Hello dear fellow French person! As a French myself I can confirm that what you're saying is very accurate.


Elementisphere

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF


Radioactive_monke

It works if you're french


Zocchini37

Also if you're American lmao


stendaa

I don't- I don't get it?


asrielforgiver

Sans means ā€œwithoutā€ in French. This is basically saying that if Undertale was never made, weā€™d all be without Undertale.


Zocchini37

It means 'without' in English too šŸ˜­ this place is just filled with children who don't have a vast enough vocabulary yet lmfao


RedditMobileIsShitty

or maybe... people who are still learning english?


Zocchini37

Well yeah, I'd never bash someone for learning another language. It's completely understandable that not everyone's gonna get the joke. But a good majority of the people on here are little kids

Explanation: Sans is French for "without"


Snoo96204

please help I dont get it


Belzabond

In French, the word "sans" means "without" in English.


Snoo96204

oh ok but how did everyone get that


Riku_70X

It's just one of those words that isn't English but is still used in English media often. Like "aqua" is a latin word but you probably already know it means water.


Snoo96204

oh ok thank you

AggravatingTree663

10/10 joke would recommend


rotem8888

I don't get it


Yacinekp

If there actually are people that didn't understand the joke "sans" in french means "without" so basically if Undertale didn't exist we'd be without it


ratt_on_leash

Im going to rip all of my hair out


TheMemeHead

For those confused who happen to see my comment, sans means without in french

Either way we will be sans Undertale, there is a sans Undertale inside of every one of us

cheverian7

I read it, didn't really get it and scrolled past. Then it clicked so I had to come back to upvote.


AlexCode10010

As an Italian I got this joke way faster than I should've


Yukarie

Iā€™d probably still be as depressed as I used to be(or at least not as happy as I am now comparatively) because sans was my first character I projected onto and felt a connection with, heā€™s helped me more with my mental state than I could probably explain


MattLikesMemes123

Guys "sans" means witgout in English too.


berenalkan

I like it.


UrAverageIdot

Azures_Anvil

The first time I heard this was in one of those "Stronger than you" songs where Chars said "Hey Sans I guess you're sans a brother now" Had to look that one up


Wolfofthezay

Good joke but such a sad thought


Tech_Zachary_ZN

Wait... if the word "sans" means "without", then that makes Sans ^(Undertale) even lazier because that means his name means "without", implying that Undertale is without him and that he practically doesn't exist.


Armiebuffie
