* Friend Inside Me / [[Franchise/ToyStory Woody]] Theory [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3elKPeqLsY A Chapter 3 theory by SpookyDood]] suggesting that the secret boss of Chapter 3 would be an Expy of Woody that exploded in popularity in February 2024, thanks to the re-discovery by the fandom of one of Toby's older music edits [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0PgRC2BF6c "Friend Inside Me"]] and [[https://twitter.com/FriendInsideMe_ a Twitter/X account]] dedicated to posting AnalogHorror-esque edits of Woody with said phrase that launched in November the year prior.[[/labelnote]]

** This meme is from the future. You don't get the reference yet. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originating from an image of an old man attacked by blue, pink, and green duplicates of himself that predated ''Deltarune'' considerably yet bore [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/427/947/3c9.jpg an uncanny resemblance]] to the Three Heroes fighting a boss, one form of these fake leaks is a "meme from the future"--a meme based on a nonexistant scene that ''supposedly'' happens in a future chapter, with [[PlayAlongMeme the replies discussing how it relates to the rest of the game]]. Sometimes, it involves a seemingly innocuous moment from one of the current chapters [[ChekhovsGun becoming incredibly important later on]].[[/labelnote]]

** Honey Darling Sweetie [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Gravy]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Immediately preceeding the final boss battle of the chapter, Queen addresses Noelle with this [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther legitimately affectionate]] but still fairly bizarre term of endearment. It's quoted either in reference to the pair's mother-and-daughter-esque dynamic, or in praise of someone's favorite character.[[/labelnote]]

* Kris' pocket crew. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Across the game, multiple Darkners turn themselves to items and go in Kris' inventory, and are shown to still be conscious and able to speak in this form. This has resulted in jokes and memes about all the defeated secret bosses and other Darkners who went to Kris' pocket hanging out, fighting, or even obliviously having parties while a Weird Route or even the Roaring is happening.[[/labelnote]]

* Jevil and Spamton fighting in Kris' pocket. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Jevil and Spamton both turn into items when defeated, Spamton, Lancer and Rouxls Kaard can all talk when in item form, and Spamton at least is shown to hate Jevil, a common idea in memes and mostly-not-so-serious fanart is Kris constantly having to listen to the two secret bosses arguing or straight-up fighting in their pocket.[[/labelnote]]

** Many memes also portray Berdly as an [[MemeticBadass unstoppable fighter]] who employs various gaming related [[CheeseStrategy cheese strategies]] to defeat Snowgrave!Kris and Noelle, or as an mass killer who goes around killing innocent people [[OblivouslyEvil to grind for levels]]

* Trans Noelle/Noelle's Antlers [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular theory was that [[TransAudienceInterpretation Noelle was transgender]] due to her having antlers at the same time as her father, Rudy (as male and female reindeer shed their antlers at different times of the year). However, it was later discovered that this theory was based on faulty evidence (female reindeer keep their antlers throughout autumn, when the game takes place), leading to some [[BrokenBase colorful debates]] about its validity. This caused many ''Deltarune'' fans to poke fun at the debates by making shitposts about Noelle's antlers, such as [[BlatantLies claiming she's the only character without them]] or applying her antlers to other characters.[[/labelnote]]. On Website/{{Reddit}} in particular, this meme/war spread to other subreddits from r/Deltarune very quickly, [[FromBadToWorse only causing more chaotic shitposting.]]
