The Ness Theory? Oh, it's just a theory that states that Sans is actually Ness from Earthbound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYdDUXyFocY

As for why it's hated? Just check out this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYdDUXyFocY

Though the video does have a few flaws here and there, they're a lot smaller than the ones it's pointing out, and don't affect the fact that MatPat's iteration of the Ness theory was a bad one.

The kinds of flaws I was talking about in said video? Papyrus wasn't stated to be as strong as Undyne, just really strong, for example. He's still a strong guy. And W. D. Gaster got called "D. M. Gaster". That kind of stuff. Still a great video as to why MatPat failed with the Ness theory.

..Well, minus one part. As Porky shows, the machine actually CAN transport organic material, and no ill effects happen. However, that means using the machine wouldn't result in them becoming skeletons. (As for the part about Sans bleeding, I'd have to say that since even his mouth is "bleeding", Ferret has a point about how he'd need to be filled all the way up with the thing... The ketchup would leak out through the ribs, specifically.. I'm not sure how this will progress, but because of Porky, this is irrelevant in terms of MatPat's portrayal of the Ness theory.

And Sans doesn't "tower over" Frisk. But the rebuttal is still right about all the other differences between Sans and Ness.

Also, the battle armor of Papyrus was made "last week". So it's not a Starman armor.

Also, now that I re-watched the video, I think the Ness theory already HAS been thoroughly debunked! Sans is left-handed, Ness is right-handed. Done. Theory debunked. In less than 140 characters.
