Fun Fact: The Bucket was originally only supposed to make the Narrator include it in every other dialogue in the game. Changes dialogue from "Stanley" to "Stanley and the bucket" but after awhile, more and more devs start getting more creative ideas on what to do with the bucket. In the end, all of that snowballed so much that it halted the game's development for an *_ENTIRE YEAR_* and is actually the reason the Ultra Deluxe version was delayed in the first place. All because of one singular bucket...

I realize now why the Stanley button is so emotional. The narrator tells you to roleplay as Jim so that hearing the name makes you feel personally validated. But all this time, you've already been roleplaying as a man named Stanley. That's what the narrator called you. And now that he's gone, the Stanley button hits way harder. Because your name IS Stanley, and you didn't realize it until now. Sorry if this is phrased badly, I'm sleep deprived

The scary part about the narrator going insane in the skip button ending is that the last time we see him he’s repeatedly saying the sentence “the end is never the end is never the end” But you think he’s only just now started but he’s been saying that for hundreds of years now on repeat

[@VinTheFox]

That really was haunting

[@smittywerbenjagermanjenson1094]

I like to thing the hauting screaming was the narrator

[@xxdagrimreaperxx5803]

It makes you realize that the reason why the Stanley button exists is because he really and truly missed Stanley. He had escaped during the last "time skip", and found his memory zone. He made all of those buttons, made everything again simply because he needed something to stay sane. Him not being in the memory zone when Stanley gets there... might mean he's gone, or insane. It could've been centuries between his escape and Stanley waking up. Perhaps thousands of years, stuck in his own personal hell.

[@NexusAnimationsYT]

[@xxdagrimreaperxx5803]

@@NexusAnimationsYT (Small Spoiler) It's kind of the opposite of employee 432. (From the creator, Davey Wreden himself:) employee 432 was an experiment of 'insanity'. If you look at his desk, you can see his job is to sharpen pencils, but he's never given any pencils to sharpen. The creator says that somewhere hidden in the game, there is a document talking about it. There's also the Employee 432 peer reviews you can find on the way through the Confusion ending. He goes so insane that he becomes the fabric of the universe. That's who the settings person is. Employee 432.

The bits where you traverse the deserts and the fields, and where you get the test achievement, I never expect to feel such profundity in Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe of all games, but it gets kinda deep with the transition to the desert with the metacommentary on how we perceive the past with rose tinted glasses and it wasn't all perfect, and how time erodes everything away eventually when you use the skip button, even the concrete holding up the building disintegrates eventually, everything is temporary even concrete, so don't shy away from new trying new things, along with all of the other messages the can be gleaned from the skip button ending, like, damn that's so deep. You really feel some straight up majesty when you traverse the desert and instead of the narrator, there's the music. Kinda makes sense the game's creator's so capable of true profundity when you realise it's the same guy who made The Beginner's Guide which is even deeper, and much, much darker than The Stanley Parable, but still...

[@priestoftech4526]

Something I think makes the skip button ending sadder is the fact that it takes place in the memory zone. What goes on in the environment is somewhat reflective of the narrator's mind and memories, so when the narrator fixates on the negative reviews and the skip button, the door leading out of the room disappears; he mentally and physically traps himself in the room. At the end through all the silence and suffering his mind goes almost completely blank, the memory zone is barren, the only thing left being a broken memory of the skip button.

​@Українка Its also a perfect callback to your first time in the expo room. You are assured up and down that hearing your name said it game with be an ultimate catharsis, an acknowledgement of you the player and everything you have done that lead you to pressing that button. Of course, for now it can only say Jim, so you are asked to embody jim in his entireity to emulate the effects of the button. But when the epilogue comes around, you have done exactly what was asked. But for Stanley. You are stanley, you are his every action, every decision. Stanley is you, the blank foil onto which you project yourself into the game. You and stanley are indistinguishable from one another. So when at last, the button says stanley's name, your name? All of the promised emotional impact hits you all at once. Its a masterstroke of narrative design

I have come to a realization about this game. When the narrator goes on about needing a vessel..... What if Stanley is the narrator. Someone so bored with his life that he is narrating his imagination? A game developer at his desk, supposedly restricted in his creativity. Living through his dreams of making or playing a video game at the desk. The player is his invisible guest, or "vessel" for his narrations. Much the same as acquired DID, but much simpler. The ideals of simply sharing creativity. The game isn't a fever dream, or the possible ramblings of a serial killer. It's the story of the developer of the game. Lost in corporate policy and practice. And making this game in his head first. The game is making the game is making the game is making the game is making the game is making the game! The end is never the end is never the end is never the end because the end is making the game!

This is the story of a man named "Mark". Mark worked in his house, where he was a KZbinr by the name of "Markiplier." Mark's job was simple. He sat at his desk, playing video games and making videos. He played whatever games his audience wanted. Whatever they wanted to see him play, Mark did. This is what Mark did every day of every month of every year. And though others might find it tedious and soul-rending, Mark relished every game he was requested to play, as though he had been made exactly for this job. And Mark was happy. And then one day, something very peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Mark. Something the internet would never quite forget. Mark had been recording a video for nearly an hour, when he got several hundred notifications from others about a new game release. Nobody had asked so much for one game. Never in all his years of KZbin had this happened; this complete surge of requests. Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, Mark decided to look up this game, trying to see what the want for this game is. But as he found the game, he saw it was a re-release of a different game. Nevertheless, Mark downloaded the game, and started to play.

All of his friends were also still recording, what could it mean? Mark decided to go to discord perhaps he had simply missed a DM.

[@Tommcginn]

The Skip Button ending hits kinda hard. Imagine being stuck in a room for thousands of years being unable to leave and yet always being awake and aware. Given the narrator is a concept rather than a living person he couldn't really "die" but he clearly ends at some stage. All he had was his thoughts and the empty vessel of the only companion he knew in that universe. The fact that he stops reacting to Stanley coming back is probably the biggest indication of his insanity at that stage.

[@Seebee2007]

[@Poli.Zygotikk]

​@@Seebee2007PERFECT 😂😂😂😂😂

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

In one of his skip monologues, he realizes that he's only truly "alive" when someone can hear him speak. A great deal of his desperation comes from him recognizing his own fictional nature, and understanding that the moment he stops talking or starts repeating himself, he effectively stops being a living person in our mind, and starts being a mindless entity.

Did anyone else notice that when Mark went down the infinite hole, the developers used a Shepard's tone in the background? It's very quiet, but you can hear it pretty good at 1:18:14 and a few seconds after that. You might have to listen close, but it's there!
