General
- Continuing off of the "Sans is in Super Smash Bros." meme, jokes about the true purpose behind Deltarune and/or Toby Fox's ominous tweets leading up to Deltarune being to promote the reveal of it at the Nintendo Direct on November 1st, 2018 furthered the meme. Further amplified by being released 24 hours before an actual Smash Nintendo Direct with a message to not spoil the game for the first 24 hours, as well as the game itself actually being referenced near the end.
- Todoroki Deltarune. Explanation Tumblr user boku-no-meme-academia made an edit of the Google page listing the heights of Deltarune characters, adding "Todoroki Deltarune" to it under the height of 5'10" which is inexplicably three quarters taller than Todoroki My Hero Academia. It's connected to the Undertale meme of calling characters without last names "first name Undertale."
- Undertale 2. Explanation In reference to a Hideo Kojima impersonator jokingly claiming in a YouTube comment section to be developing a sequel to Undertale...or SiIvaGunner's supposed "Undertale 2" soundtrack from Summer 2017. With the release of Deltarune, many began referring to it as such.
- Sans Deltarune. Explanation The latest permutation of the notorious "Sans Undertale" meme, people had already been calling him this and spamming this name throughout the internet before his presence in the game was ascertained. Many have made jokes about the difference between this Sans and the old Sans, with a common one having him tell the player "No, Sans Undertale was my father. My name is Sans Deltarune."
- The massive amount of people who claim to not want to get back into the fandom, but have no choice (Example1, Example2 and Example3).
- "Nudealert" and "Nutdealer". Explanation Since "Deltarune" is a Significant Anagram to "Undertale", fans joked about Toby naming other Undertale spinoffs and related works after other anagrams, and that sooner or later he'll have to use one of these two comedically lewd-sounding variants. "Nutdealer" particularly gained a second life after Chapter 2 introduced the mentally unstable salesman Spamton — a nutty dealer.
- Making silly anagrams of "Undertale" in general is pretty memetic. Notable ones include "U Late Nerd" (a common response to people noticing the anagram for the first time), "Ant Dueler", and "Tundra Eel".
- Susie is Barney's daughter. Explanation Since both are purple dinosaur-esque creatures, some comparisons are made. Some take it even further and treat said statement as Fanon, arguing that Susie's abrasive behaviour stems from her hatred towards her father and trying to avoid acting like him
- Please do not lewd goat boi. Explanation Similar to the "don't sexualize goat mom" meme, many people who are enamored with Ralsei don't want to see him being hit with rule 34. Naturally, he has been hit with it anyway.
- The missing "f". Explanation Both Ralsei and Deltarune are Significant Anagrams for Asriel and Undertale, respectively. The fact Kris is a letter off from Frisk has made people wonder where the f the "f" went. Some have suggested it's because we need to pay our respects.
- Two separate memes came from Toby Fox asking to not discuss it until the 31st: one half of the memes was about two people fighting on whether or not to obey while the other memes revolved around how Tumblr and Reddit instantly ignored the plea and posted analysis and fanart already an hour after the game was shared.
- KFC. Explanation The initials of the three main humans in the Undertale/Deltarune verse (Kris, Frisk and Chara) together spell out "KFC". This does not go unnoticed by fans, evident by a number of fanarts of the trio eating KFC or the like.
- An alternate abbreviation is "FCK" or "FUCK". Explanation Sometimes Undyne will be dragged into this, despite not being a human, if only so that her initial will complete the word. The U can also refer to the Unused Child found in Undertale’s files.
- You've heard of KFC, now get ready for... Explanation The above two memes have led to using other character's initials to spell out different words.
- Handsome Lancer Explanation This face◊ he makes after "joining the party" has achieved memetic status due to both how unexpectedly off model he looks, having his Hidden Eyes being revealed and gaining lips, and the fact that the face resembles the already-memetic Handsome Squidward face.
- The non-boss theme, "Rude Buster", being put to a sped-up and repeated clip from The Mitchells vs. the Machines of a panicked Rick Mitchell attempting to use a computer is used to represent panicked internet users on Twitter.
- "Hello! My name is Ralsei. I'm driving a Mercedes-Benz." Explanation A quote from Why is he selling merch for a demo..., a bizarre animation parody depicting Ralsei and the rest of the gang, done for someone's school project. The video quickly gained popularity for its Surreal Humor, with fans particularly taking to associating Ralsei with Mercedes-Benzes.
- "Sup kid, TRICK or YEET?" "Yeet?" "Yeet it is." "AAAAAAAA-" Explanation The original quote comes from the video "Saying A LOT of things as Sans", where Sans throws Kris out of what's presumably a window. Spine_apples then animated the exchange, and the result was many, many, MANY snowclones.
- GOD FUCKING dammit KRIS where the FUCK are we? Explanation A (not actually in the game) phrase uttered by Susie in a variety of images where Kris's idle Dark World sprite and an unused Dark World version of Susie's turning around sprite from the end of Chapter 2 are edited into other video games, sometimes with a caption referencing the "Chapter [X] leaks" meme. This stems from the starting point of the meme originally being a variant on the "Chapter 3 leak" meme. While some memes simply edit the sprites in, others go far as to recreate them in the game's style and interface (many notable cases here).
- Said meme is often toned down to a more PG friendly "GOD DAMMIT KRIS WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?"
- Chapter [X] leaks. Explanation Because of the game's episodic structure and the fandom's propensity for Wild Mass Guessing, Pop-Culture Urban Legends, and Urban Legend of Zelda, it's common to joke about various Deltarune memes, drawings, and other fan works (usually ones of their own creation) actually being leaked content from later chapters.
- This meme is from the future. You don't get the reference yet. Explanation Originating from an image of an old man attacked by blue, pink, and green duplicates of himself that predated Deltarune considerably yet bore 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 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 becoming incredibly important later on.
- Gaster is behind everything that ever happened. Explanation While existing as far back as Undertale, this one really blew up after Chapter 2's release. In a nutshell, many, many fans were annoyed that Gaster was inserted into pretty much every single theory even when he wasn't necessary, often as a hasty explanation for either an unsolved mystery or to excuse a hole in a theory. This led to fans jokingly claiming that literally everything is Gaster's fault, from things such as Papyrus staying inside his house to a real-life divorce.
- These memes are Pissing me off... I'm the original Starwalker Explanation The Original Starwalker is a character that can be found in Chapter 1 if you backtrack in the room with the Starwalker birds, only saying that the birds are pissing them off and they're the original Starwalker, with a huge space before they say their name. In Chapter 2, they become a Key Item if you interacted with them in Chapter 1. Their nonsensical dialogue and small role expansion made them popular in memes, especially since Chapter 2's release.
- Hentai protagonist Kris Explanation Due to their hairstyle resembling that of many a Featureless Protagonist in hentai and eroge, combined with the fact that they get Ship Tease with several characters throughout the game, some fans started jokingly affixing this label to Kris.
- The Toby Fox Effect. Explanation With the release of Chapter 2, the fandom has noticed a pattern where a Toby Fox game includes a character who happens to be Tall, Dark, and Handsome compared to the rest of the cast (Mettaton, Rouxls Kaard, Swatch), but the fandom always lusts after the short, memetic, superboss instead (Sans, Jevil, Spamton).
- Due to Chapters 3 and 4 being stated to release simultaneouslynote the initial plan was to release them alongside Chapter 5, a common joke among fans is that the next 2 Shadow Crystal holders will have to share the attention and fight to see who gets to be the next "Tumblr sexyman" (or just who will be the Ensemble Dark Horse in general).
- Gaster's emo band. Explanation Thanks to this comic, some fans jokingly theorize that the Shadow Crystal Holders being driven insane was just Gaster recruiting them in his emo band, and refer to them as such. Sometimes Sans is also portrayed as a member.
- The dark crystals prove that Kris has an incest kink Explanation A theory posted on the Deltarune subreddit that hypothesised through Insane Troll Logic that the Shadow Crystals prove that Kris has incestuous feelings towards Asriel. It quickly picked up steam, with people either mocking its bizarre nature or freaking out over its No Yay nature. The original post was quickly deleted, but can be read here.
- Skuntle Bingoid Explanation The name of the supposed secret boss of Chapter 3 usually occupied by a track from Undertale: Halloween Hack known as "No More Nuzzles" played at 115% speed. The meme is used to point out the convoluted methods of how to find the secret bosses and how they always have awesome music, which fans then painstakingly try to recreate by finding the obscure soundfonts and samples used in them. Then a Twitter account @NOMORENUZZLES took the meme and ran with it, but ditched the Skuntle Bingoid aspect and replaced it with a clip from StephenVlog of Toby Fox introducing himself to the audience, remixing his voice into "No More Nuzzles".
- Mike Teavee. Explanation In his shop, and in his Normal Route fight if defeated violently, Spamton mentions a person named Mike. Who said character is and what his relations to Spamton are is never explained in the chapter. A common fan theory is that he is the main antagonist of Chapter 3, as the previous Shadow Crystal Holder, Jevil, mentioned Queen, who was the main antagonist of Chapter 2. Another common theory is that Chapter 3's main antagonist is the darkner made of Toriel's TV. After people pointed out that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has a character named Mike Teavee, many jokes about him being the villain in Chapter 3 have popped up.
- Noelle and Ennard. Explanation A Reddit user had a dream where Noelle would try to explain whether God is real to Ennard. This quickly became an inside joke on the Deltarune subreddit.
- Chef Lancer theories. Explanation In Chapter 1, Lancer briefly disguises himself by putting on a mustache, and this mustachioed Lancer, now called Chef Lancer, later appears in Chapter 2 in Castle Town's bakery, with Lancer acting like they're two different people. Fans often also pretend that the two are separate characters, and make joke theories about how they might be related, or how Chef Lancer is actually the true mastermind behind everything.
- WELL... THAT JUST HAPPENED. LOL X)Explanation In the Spampton Sweepstakes, one page showed a blogpost made by Noelle where she talks about watching Susie bully Kris. Despite witnessing her friend getting bullied by her crush, she reacted in such a silly and out of place way, using this phrase and emoticon. This humorous reaction to a dark and sad event led to memes about the phrase. The phrase was already a meme due to being associated with the dialogue of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- Foam Shower Explanation For the Undertale/Deltarune Newsletter on April Fools' Day 2023, Toby Fox randomly sent multiple photos of himself in swim trunks and covered head-to-toe in foam to 1,000 random subscribers, claiming that they were accidentally added to the "Foam Shower" tier. This image received many edits and memes due to its bizarre nature.
- Kris' pocket crew. Explanation Across the game, multiple Darkners turn themselves into 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.
- Jevil and Spamton fighting in Kris' pocket. Explanation A variation of the above meme. Because Jevil and Spamton both turn into items when defeated 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 after the Spamton NEO fight.
- Nihilism: Stereotype vs. Reality.Explanation Spamton and Jevil's respective descents into despair and hedonism upon learning the Awful Truth about their world reminded a lot of fans of this◊ popular Image Macro about nihilism, leading many artists to redraw it with the two of them.
- Trans Noelle/Noelle's Antlers Explanation A popular theory was that 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 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 claiming she's the only character without them or applying her antlers to other characters. On Reddit in particular, this meme/war spread to other subreddits from r/Deltarune very quickly, only causing more chaotic shitposting.
- Green Room Explanation A room from Chapter 3 teased within the Spamton Sweepstakes that took on infamy due to its usage in fanworks, where it was constantly used as the starting location for fan predictions of chapter 3, with the track constantly being reuploaded as part of the OST of these fanworks.
- Friend Inside Me / Woody Theory Explanation 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 "Friend Inside Me" and a Twitter/X account dedicated to posting Analog Horror-esque edits of Woody with said phrase that launched in November the year prior.
Chapter 1
- Sans Undertale Fucked My Mom. Explanation Sans can be interacted with in Chapter 1, in which he says that he tells Kris that he "befriended" Kris's mother, Toriel, the night before, while winking. He turns out to be talking about meeting her when she bought chocolates from the grocery store the other day, but still.... An alternative but related meme is Sans saying, "I fucked your mom, shitlips", based on a similar drawing of Lightning McQueen.
- Your [X] sucks ass. Is that OK? YES / NO Explanation The "Create a machine to thrash your own ass" sequence offers the possibility of simply making a duck, with none of the duck parts giving you any stats. Make the whole duck, and the game will show this message before you can continue. Snowclones happened pretty quickly.
- Distant trousle of bones. Explanation Unlike most of the main original cast, Papyrus doesn't have an appearance in Chapter 1. If you knock on his and Sans' door, you will hear "the distant trousle of bones", teasing his existence. With Papyrus being so beloved, several fans have made known their desperation to see him, and joke about breaking down the door or crying on the doorstep.
- Neckbeard Papyrus.Explanation According to the Undertale art book, Papyrus was originally intended to be a creepy, fedora-tipping Basement-Dweller; Toby ended up completely changing his personality, which is universally agreed to be for the better. However, with Deltarune taking place in a brand new universe with different versions of the characters, along with the fact that we never see Papyrus throughout chapter one, speculation that the "Neckbeard" version of Papyrus will appear has arisen.
- Lancer Deltarune. Explanation Lancer instantly became popular with fans along with his catchy theme, leading to many giving him the "Sans Undertale" and "Chad" treatment. This face in particular◊ did a lot of the work.
- CHAOS, CHAOS! I can do ANYTHING! Explanation Jevil, the bonus boss of Chapter 1, is loved by the community for his difficulty spike, fun boss theme, being fully voiced, and having a quirky personality that makes him an absolute Fountain of Memes. While all of his lines are loved, "Chaos, chaos!" and "I can do ANYTHING!" are repeated the most.
- The latter line also leads to a very popular depiction of Jevil as a troll and Commander Contrarian who will reply to anyone saying "You can't do X!" with "I CAN DO ANYTHING!" and promptly proceed to do X, whatever it might be. Notable example here.
- I CAN'T do anything. I'm in a fucking wheelchair... I have hepatitis C. I can’t bounce around, or do my magic, I can’t even turn into the Devilsknife! My life is misery, misery! It's pointless, pointless! But on the bright side, at least I've got this wheelchair... And the wheel's broken.Explanation A copypasta, usually accompanied by a picture of Jevil in a wheelchair. Someone even made a MOD out of it!
- Jevil and Minecraft. Explanation A joke originating from an "Ask Jevil" fanblog in which Jevil interprets Gaster's revelation that they're just characters in a video game (going off of an interpretation that Gaster is the anonymous "somebody" who allowed Jevil to start Noticing the Fourth Wall) as a claim that Minecraft is real, playing off of the boost in popularity that Minecraft saw during the late 2010s. The gag quickly caught on with fans, who jokingly adopted it in fanworks. The meme also saw a brief revival after Chapter 2 revealed that the Deltarune world apparently has a video game called "Minecrap".
- Jevil targeting Ralsei. Explanation Many jokes have been made about Jevil's supposed tendency to focus on Ralsei a lot, which is exacerbated by Ralsei's tendency to go down in a few hits. In-game, it's mainly because Jevil's attacks tend to hit all three party members at once; this naturally tends to drop Ralsei first since he has the lowest health.
- Debble Explanation The first Undertale/Deltarune newsletter in December 2022 came with the mention of the recently-released Jevil plushie, calling it "the pluss of Debble from DELTARUN" and adding that "The family can enjoy it". Naturally, Jevil fans began parroting these two things when referring to him, usually in his plush form.
- Most of the fanbase has indulged in Comical Overreacting to Undyne saying, "Who's that?" when asked about Alphys. Explanation Alphys and Undyne are a beloved couple, so the fact that they don't know each other in this world has evoked... passionate reactions. Common ones include "NOOOOOOO!", claiming that of all the disturbing differences in this world, this is the one where Toby Fox has gone too far, or just straight-up going into denial.
- "SHE'S JOKING. IT WAS A JOKE." Explanation The most common manifestation of the aforementioned denial.
- Rouxls Kaard edits. Explanation Video clips of Rouxls' cutscene when encountering the party, edited so that he says something ridiculous after the pillar of light disappears.
- One of the edits features him yelling: "I'M MAKING FUCKING MAC AND CHEESE AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME" and now the fandom has started associating him with this.
- "That wasn'tst really my ultimate [x]! I have a wayst better one right... here!" "Can we see it?" "No" Explanation An exchange between Rouxls Kaard and Ralsei when you beat his second puzzle used as a snowclone, with [x] originally being "puzzle".
- This Rouxls-themed version of the Expanding Brain template is also very popular, especially on Reddit.
- Images of Ralsei holding a gun or some other form of modern weapon (in one case even driving a tank◊) have begun cropping up in fairly often for reasons unknown. Possible Explanations It may have to do with the machine building reaction where Susie is surprised they "liked guns that much", or an offshoot of a wider meme of "cutesy" characters pointing guns while otherwise still acting cute.
- "Ralsei casts Pacify." Explanation A variant of the above meme, suggesting that the game's use of Defeat Means Friendship owes more to Gunboat Diplomacy than to The Power of Friendship. Might have originated with this image◊. Gun-less variants with Ralsei threatening or enacting violence also exist.
- This meme gets humorously acknowledged in Chapter 2 with two interactions Ralsei may have when clicking on Poppups:
Ralsei moved to click on an ad with a bunny on it teaching you how to make friends... ...and accidentally clicked on an ad of a machine gun that appeared over it!
Ralsei tried to click on an ad with a castle on it... ...but it was actually an ad for a company that demolishes buildings with bazookas!
- Ralsei wants your credit card number. Explanation Probably because of this post.
- Kris just wanted some pie. Explanation The ending scene where Kris is shown with a knife has had many people say that they didn't actually intend to hurt anyone, but simply wanted to cut a slice of the pie Toriel made before they went to bed. And considering Chapter 2's intro, this was confirmed to be the case.
- K. Round's crown giving people... ahem ...legs. Explanation In a similar vein to the Super Crown, the fandom came to the conclusion that wearing the crown gives you muscular legs. The Mario-esque sound that plays during the scene helps.
- A HUMAN, a MONSTER, and a PRINCE FROM THE DARK. Explanation Edits of one of the images in Ralsei's prophecy cutscene, with the silhouettes of Kris, Susie, and Ralsei replaced with other characters. After the release of Chapter 2, which introduced Noelle and Berdly as major characters, it has become commonplace to expand Chapter 1's prophecy to include more characters.
- And GANDALF THE GREY, and GANDALF THE WHITE, and MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL'S BLACK KNIGHT, and BENITO MUSSOLINI, and THE BLUE MEANIE, and COWBOY CURTIS, and JAMBI THE GENIE Explanation Continuing from above, videos like this and this edit Ralsei's prophecy to include the huge roll-call of characters from The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
- SPONGEBOB PATRICK AND SQUIDWARD MR KRABS Explanation Another famous edit of the opening sequence in which the song is given lyrics that are entirely just the names of characters from Spongebob Square Pants (which in turn is a reference to a video that does the same for "All The Small Things", while set to a long-lost MTV station ident featuring the SpongeBob cast dancing to the song that was rediscovered in 2021).
- (SIGNED, LANCER) Explanation Lancer's myriad signs in the first half of chapter 1 resulted in people taking his signature and running with it.
- "KRIS, IS THAT A WEED?" Explanation A Vine that was already a meme and just so happens to involve a person named "Chris", with Ralsei usually portrayed as the child from the original video. After the "Doobie Ralsei" meme surrounding Chapter 2 took off, this one gained a brief revival that instead portrays other characters scolding Ralsei for owning weed.
- Metal Max wanted battle. Explanation A drawing of the Annoying Dog as a tank with a caption referencing the Metal Max series which Toby put on Twitter, specifically noting it wouldn't make it into the final game, immediately garnered a lot of fanart, much of which is surprisingly badass.
- Ralsei is a girl! Explanation A video by Treesicle, which (somehow) concluded that Ralsei is a girl, has been gaining traction for similar reasons to the infamous Sans is Ness video.
- HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR CREATION? Explanation Taken from the character creation sequence at the start of the game, this is often used to describe any kind of disturbing image, especially on Reddit.
- LOVE
- HOPE
- DISGUST
- ❤️FEAR
- LUST Explanation If the post in question is Rule 34, you may see this in response.
- Everyone hating Berdly Explanation Berdly's condescending behavior was mocked since the first chapter... as well as his ....face.
- The Rouxls is dead?! Explanation A parody of Heavy is Dead, but with Rouxls Kaard, which originated from "Saying A LOT of Things as Rouxls Kaard", and was later made into an animation. Like the original, it's often quoted in message boards.
- The Bing 😂Explanation After someone on the r/Deltarune subreddit misspelled "The King" as "The Bing", it became the subreddit's Fan Nickname for the character. The Bing is often used as a stand-in for the King in "bad creepypasta" memes (see below), and is sometimes associated with the Bing search engine. Sometimes, the meme simply takes the form of an image of the King with "The Bing 😂" repeated endlessly (emojis included), and variants for other characters have popped up.
Chapter 2 - General
- While Spamton may be the chapter's premier Fountain of Memes, to the point where he gets his own section, Queen has certainly proven she's no slouch in that department either:
- Kris Get The Banana Explanation During the sequences where Noelle and Kris are in the Queen's car, and when Kris is with Ralsei in the swan boat, Queen will say this out of nowhere as a banana appears shortly after. The line and the following response have become quite memetic due to the sheer randomness of it, leading fans to both jokingly depict bananas as Queen's Trademark Favorite Food and portray her and Kris recklessly trying to grab stray bananas in outrageous situations.
- Potassium Explanation Queen's response if you pick up the banana, parroted by fans in response to content themed after the banana gag.
- Kris You Are Going To Die Of Potassium Deficiency Explanation If you don't collect the banana the first time, Queen will comment, "Kris You Are Going To Get Sick", and if you avoid the banana during the boat ride, Queen will claim it was all part of her plan to make Kris and Ralsei become potassium deficient. After the traffic segment, one of Queen's worries when searching for Noelle is that she's probably "Wasting Away From Potassium Deficiency", leading to people joking that Kris will suffer such a terrible fate if they don't get any bananas.
- The trolley problem, but Queen tells you to Get The Banana Explanation In a game where control is a major theme, it wasn't lost on people that many players instantly obeyed the command to get the banana, despite Queen being the villain. It spawned a meme where Queen can get Kris / the player to do anything in the name of getting the banana, regardless of morality.
- Trying to get the banana in Mario Kart Explanation Some people have joked about trying to get the banana in Mario Kart (where it will cause any karts that come in contact with it to spin out) after playing Deltarune. It helps that the original scene took place in a car ride.
- It Means Tity Explanation During the scene where Queen asks you if you would rather live under her bosom or perish, choosing the "bosom" option leads to Queen giving this comedically blunt (and misspelled for comedy and somewhat T-rated censorship) explanation of what bosom means. Fans instantly took to it, often bringing it up in relation to fan content surrounding Queen.
- Queen face edits. Explanation Queen's expressive Wingding Eyes are popular for parody, with people editing her visor to display all manner of other meme text.
- Honey Darling Sweetie Gravy Explanation Immediately preceeding the final boss battle of the chapter, Queen addresses Noelle with this 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.
- Comparing Berdly to Falco Lombardi. Explanation Berdly's appearance in the Dark World, coupled with his smug personality and the fact he's a blue bird, has had several folks compare him to Falco. Fueling this fire is when he calls Kris out on cheating a puzzle "just like when you wavedash!" and his ice tomb during his death in the Weird Route resembling Falco's Shine.
- Nubert. Explanation A new character is introduced in Chapter 2, a red nub with a face on it that everyone inexplicably knows and loves. He also appeared in the unique copy of Chapter 1 used for the Undertale 6th Anniversary stream. Playing along with his unexplained reputation, everyone references how popular and beloved he is.
- My man! Explanation Any time he's referred to elicits this response from everyone in-game during the anniversary stream, with the hosts encouraging the audience to do the same. The fandom obliges every chance they get.
- Nubert and the Original Starwalker. Explanation Due to both Starwalker and Nubert being popular memetic characters, a lot of fanart of the two interacting (and even being shipped) has been made.
- Proceed. Explanation (spoilers) The command that you, the player, repeatedly issue to Noelle during the Weird Route in chapter 2. Because of its prominence, fans tend to parrot the command in reference to the Weird Route.
- Berdly's Death. Explanation (spoilers) The turning point of the hidden Weird Route is Noelle getting strong enough to outright kill Berdly in both worlds by freezing him with the SnowGrave spell, and the heroes leave his body in the computer lab afterwards. The audaciousness of it (aided by the fact that Berdly is a Butt-Monkey already, to the point where his ice prison resembles Falco's Reflector) led fans to make many jokes about Berdly's death to counteract the shock, such as comparing his fate to the "am I glad he's frozen in there" exchange, or posting images of a blue rupee or the Ice Bird from Angry Birds Space.
- Watch what happens when I cast a spell I don't know! Explanation (spoilers) Noelle's line just before using SnowGrave, quoted as a caption on GIFs and images of characters being frozen solid, in reference to Berdly's death from the spell.
- "Gamers don't die, Kris. We respawn." Explanation (spoilers) A reference to an old and utterly Narm-tastic catchphrase used by hardcore gamers, fans have taken this and used it jokingly to describe how Berdly could return to the plot after his apparent death.
- Berdly the Defrosted. Explanation (spoilers) A Came Back Strong version of Berdly akin to Undertale's Undyne the Undying, in reimaginings of his Weird Route battle as an analogue for the Genocide Route's tough alternative bosses. Often paired with the above meme.
- Many memes also portray Berdly as an unstoppable fighter who employs various gaming related cheese strategies to defeat Snowgrave!Kris and Noelle, or as an mass killer who goes around killing innocent people to grind for levels
- Kris hates Ralsei. Explanation Fans have noted that there's an in-universe indication that Kris isn't as fond of Ralsei as they are of Susie and Noelle, and that their more friendly interactions may just be the Player's/SOUL's doing. Some fans have jokingly taken to flanderizing this possibility, portraying Kris as outright hating the fluffy boy.
- Tasque Manager Googling herself. Explanation Tasque Manager immediately drew attention due to her "Cute Monster Girl + Cute Machines" design and soothing voice clips. This in turn caused a lot of Rule 34 to pop up of her, not helped by the fact that she wields a whip much like a Dominatrix. Given her obsession with order, several fans have joked about her looking up fanart of herself and being shocked/disgusted by it.
- Hardcore Gamer Berdly. Explanation A few gags in Chapter 2 depict Berdly exemplifying certain hardcore gaming stereotypes, such as making stretched comparisons between video games and real life, falling for and hitting on Susie after she makes an offhanded game reference, and giving a Big "NO!" when Queen claims she only plays mobile games. Fans quickly took to these jokes, comedically flanderizing Berdly as an arrogant dudebro gamer who creeps on girls and compares everything in his life to a video game. As the meme spread, it became popular to make edits using the "as a gamer, I don't get respect" scene from the Real-Time Fandub of Sonic '06 and the "No, you're NOT a gamer" copypasta.
- "M'they'dy."Explanation A gender-neutral offshoot of the preexisting "M'lady" meme poking fun at the above stereotypes, you can expect this phrase to pop up wherever the weirdly popular Kris x Berdly ship is involved.
- Ralsei smoking a fat blunt/Doobie Ralsei. Explanation A drawing of Ralsei in his Chapter 2 design smoking an excessively large marijuana joint, based on a similarly memetic edited piece of Super Mario 64 artwork. It caught on for being equally as ridiculous as the Ralsei gun jokes, and became the subject of numerous redraws and video edits related to Chapter 2, ultimately becoming so popular that many netizens are unaware that it was originally based on a Super Mario 64 meme.
- Ralsei holding a chicken leg/KFC Ralsei. Explanation The official Spanish Twitter account for KFC, well-known for its frequent shitposting, tweeted an image of Doobie Ralsei edited to be holding a chicken leg, with the caption "Quieres?" ("Want some?"). The tweet spurred debate over whether it was good fun or corporatist hijacking (the original Doobie Ralsei artist took the latter side), eventually causing KFC_ES to delete the tweet. This in turn made the image even more of a meme, poking fun at how overblown controversies can get.
- Ralsei's Eyes. Explanation After traversing the basement of Queen's mansion for the first time, Kris finds Susie messing with Ralsei by stealing his glasses. This gives a single unique portrait revealing that his actual eyes sport curly lashes with mascara and a hint of pink on his eyelids resembling eyeshadow. Though nobody in-game reacts to it, the fanbase went wild over the detail, with portraying this look as capable of blinding characters witnessing it.
- Characters removing their glasses. Explanation After the reveal of what Ralsei's eyes really look like, the fanbase joked about other characters known for wearing glasses as secretly having beautiful looks underneath as well, including lashes and eyeshadow. Fanart of this especially hones into candidates thought to be unlikely cases for it, such as Berdly and Spamton.
- Deltarune is a Dating Sim/harem anime and Susie is the main protagonist. Explanation Chapter 2 not only expands on Noelle's crush on Susie, but also depicts Berdly falling for her, and Kris being implied to have a crush on her as well; Susie never notices any of this. The parallels to a harem/dating sim plot didn't go unnoticed, leading fans to joke about it in both YouTube comments and fan content.
- Everybody Loves Susie. Explanation This phrase will usually be found somewhere in posts related to this meme.
- Gaster's meth lab. Explanation Shortly after Chapter 2 released, a portion of the fandom jokingly theorized that Gaster is behind the events of Deltarune... as a drug lord whose hallucinogenic substances form the Dark Fountains, explaining why everyone is always transported to a fantasy world yet can't remember how or why. This includes claiming the mysterious bunker south of the church is where his meth lab is located.
- Kris, we need to cook. Explanation Since Breaking Bad is already a memetic series by itself while revolving around a scientist cooking meth alongside his much younger student, the jokes practically made themselves. This includes portrayals of Spamton urging Kris to follow his plans and Gaster having Sans as an accomplice.
- Noelle is horny. Explanation Noelle's Ship Tease with Susie and Covert Pervert moments haven't gone unnoticed by fans, who started calling her "down bad" and taking her attraction up to eleven, with her being openly masochistic and sharing her, uh, "fantasies".
- 1 2 3 blueaddison cyber cafe sex Explanation The Tumblr blog deltaruneconfessions got a message from an anonymous user jokingly claiming that the blue Addison canonically had sex at "the cyber cafe" (not an actual location in-game, probably referring to either the Color Cafe or the cyber grill mentioned by the Addisons after the Spamton NEO battle). Later, someone sent the blog a fake screenshot of a data compiler with the text "1 2 3 blueaddison cyber cafe sex. if your reading this i messed up somehow", presented like an error message datamined from the game. This quickly became popular on Tumblr, with many people thinking it was really from the game, and made it common to portray the blue Addison as a Covert Pervert who is now banned from the cafe for reasons they don't want to talk about, or them being slut-shamed for the act. It has also lead to shipping them with Swatch, often with Spamton as the Jealous Romantic Witness.
- Ralsei stopped existingExplanation A common joke about how Noelle and Berdly often ignore Ralsei unintentionally unless it's nearly impossible to ignore him, and even when they do notice him they never ask about where he came from.
- Short Cakes Explanation A comic made by NELNAL depicting K_K having a dream where they are short while Sweet and Cap'n are tall. The depiction of K_K being small took off with fanartists.
- Fuck Snowy and Monster Kid. Explanation During their cameo in Chapter 2, Snowy and Monster Kid are about to enter the Bunker, with the former calling Kris and MK dirty cowards for being scared. While the fandom mostly ignored the two before 2021, when Chapter 2 came out, they started really having it for Snowy due to his rude behavior. Despite MK being a Nice Guy who doesn't hate anyone besides Susie, they got dragged into this mess simply for being friends with Snowy.
- Monster Kid is innocent! Explanation When this meme blew up, some of the fans have started to side with MK for the reasons mentioned above. Snowy is still regarded as an asshole, though.
- Ralsei is a bimbo. Explanation In the 1.08 update, Rouxls Kaard has new dialogue where he calls Ralsei a bimbo if the player defeats him violently. Given his love of Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe, he likely meant the old meaning of the word (a foolish person) but given Ralsei's rather feminine appearance, the fandom has taken to calling him a bimbo in the current meaning of the word.
- I can't believe Deltarune ripped off Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Explanation Tumblr user hipchoice noted several similarities◊ between the plots and characters of Chapter 2 and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Given the latter film's reputation, fans quickly began making jokes further comparing the two, such as claiming that the dream that inspired Toby Fox to create Deltarune was actually just the ending of Sharkboy and Lavagirl but with furries.
- Dee Doo Explanation Rouxls Kaard has unused Voice Grunting in Chapter 2's files that sound like a voice saying "Dee Doo". Parroting the words is common in Rouxls-centric memes, especially those making fun of his speech style.
- MR BEAAAAAST! / Attack of the Killer Beast Explanation A YTPMV of Freshy Kanal's "Mr. Beast vs Squid Game" rap battle video remixed to "Attack of the Killer Queen" that became unexpectedly popular in early 2023, becoming one of the most popular YTPMVs in recent years.
- Okay, let's start killing, some monsters. / Spoiled world Explanation A fanmade track and screenshot for a supposed "true genocide run" of Chapter 2, with Kris having a poorly edited smile and red eyes and Ralsei having a shadow on his face as Susie says the aforementioned line. It quickly became memetic when its presence was shared around in the fandom, poking fun at the absurdity and sprite edits, as well as spawning new variations based on it.
- OMG, let's start YASSing, some #SQUAD Explanation When these image edits are posted on Twitter, they're often responded to with the same image with everything "edgy" covered with Twitter's default stickers.
- Kris... I remember you're, SNOWGRAVES. Explanation Another edited image consisting of Berdly saying this line while having black eyes and blood coming out of them, based on a similar edit with Sans in a parody of bad creepypastas. This led to a flood of parodies based on this image to other games.
Chapter 2 - Spamton
Suffice to say, Spamton might be the biggest
Fountain of Memes the fandom has seen since Sans, with his manic personality,
Electronic Speech Impediment, and surprisingly involved role in the game giving him a wealth of quotable lines and more.
- [[BIG SHOT]] Explanation Spamton constantly talks about being a [[BIG SHOT]], something reflected in his boss themes which heavily feature a vocal sample repeating the phrase "Now's your chance to be a big shot!" This quickly caught on with the fanbase as both themes are incredibly catchy, and because the fight with Spamton NEO in particular is considered one of the highlights of the second chapter.
- Becoming a [[BIG SHOT]] Explanation An Unusual Euphemism for winning the Spamton NEO fight, especially during the 24-hour spoiler embargo.
- Fictional characters becoming Spamton. Explanation It's also become a trend to show short clips of a character saying "big shot", followed by one of Spamton's themes playing alongside the character being redrawn to look like Spamton.
- All of this because Toby wanted to sponsor some soda. Explanation Particularly dedicated fans ended up uncovering a 1997 commercial for Big Shot soda that NFL star Mike Ditka appeared in. The apparent parallels to Spamton's frequent mentions of 1997, being a [[BIG SHOT]], and a figure named Mike were so uncanny that most people concluded that it was an intentional Shout-Out, leading to jokes about how Spamton's entire presence was simply Toby's attempt at plugging a soda he liked.
- Jeff Kinney is a [[BIG SHOT]]. Explanation The 16th Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, released just over a month after Deltarune Chapter 2, is titled Big Shot, leading to Jeff Kinney's tweets getting... spammed with tons of Spamton memes. Jeff ultimately joined in on the fun.
- WAS THAT A [[BIG SHOT]] JUST NOW!? Explanation When fighting Spamton NEO, you can use a charged attack. The first time you do it, Spamton, in amazement, asks if he just saw Kris fire a [[BIG SHOT]]. This is often used in memes including Spamton and guns, especially remixes of "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A" and "BIG SHOT" which have gunshots as part of the beat.
- [[BIG SHIT]] Explanation Spamton's Catchphrase with some good old Toilet Humor added into it, often including something related to toilets. Also included as part of the "WHY IS IT CALLED A [[Restroom]]" meme below.
- [[BOG SHIT]] Explanation A mutation of the above meme running off a Spoonerism of "big shot."
- Giving someone a [[BIG SHOT]] Explanation As if Spamton's dialogue didn't have enough Double Entendres, some fans noticed the Accidental Innuendo and made jokes about it. For better or worse, this is also common in the concerningly vast amount of Rule 34 art involving Spamton. On another note, people have frequently used the same phrase in relation to giving Spamton a gun, often in the form of "delete this" memes, similarly to his "WAS THAT A [[BIG SHOT]] JUST NOW!?" line from the actual game.
- Billy Joel vs. SpamtonExplanation Following the release of Chapter 2, music fans dug up the Billy Joel track "Big Shot", which shares a name with both Spamton's catchphrase and his battle theme as Spamton NEO. Consequently, fans began jokingly tying Spamton with Joel, be it through depicting each figure as the other or getting in mock arguments about which one of the two is better.
- [[Hyperlink Blocked]] Explanation One of Spamton's quotes when he tries to give Kris a shady deal for something suspicious enough to be censored with [[Hyperlink Blocked]]. Used as a form of Gag Censor by the fandom. Can also be used as a means of conveying that whatever web link he's trying to access is being blocked somehow by him, either by force or in a more unwilling manner.
- KROMER Explanation Spamton always refers to Dark Dollars as KROMER, and dialogue from his first boss encounter and in his shop suggest he enjoys eating them. As a result, memes involving Spamton often end up referencing KROMER in some way. It's gone to the point that most of the fandom uses kromer more than dark dollars.
- "X [amount of] KROMER" Explanation Due to the rapidly fluctuating prices in Spamton's shop (with most of the cycling price tags being impossibly high), fans jokingly treat Kromer as its own currency while not fully understanding its worth, conveying (often conflicting) values in captions, similar to the "Bobux" meme.
- "TOO MANY EXCESS VACATION DAYS?? TAKE A GOD DAMN VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL" Explanation When you ask Spamton about the Knight, he replies to you with this. This is obviously a reference to Burgerpants' "I can't go to hell. I'm all out of vacation days." back in Undertale. Needless to say, it makes a good reaction image.
- Pipis. Explanation (spoilers) A bizarre object associated with Spamton, resembling a blue egg that explodes into mini Spamton heads when provoked. It appears as both an attack during the Spamton NEO fight and as the Weird Route's sole exclusive enemy, with many of them being scattered throughout Queen's mansion in the latter scenario. The object quickly caught on as a subject for jokes and Spamton-centric fan content thanks to both its amusing-sounding name and the way its absurdity clashes with the otherwise grim tone of the Weird Route.
- Pipis Room. Explanation (spoilers) In the Weird Route, the room that normally requires you to find a key in one of its many platters instead becomes a maze made out of Pipis. Fans were quick to dub this the "Pipis Room", after a Vine by Griffin McElroy.
- "DIDN'T YOU KNOW [Neo] IS FAMOUS FOR ITS HIGH DEFENSE!?" Explanation (Spoilers) On the Weird Route, Spamton not only claims that "NEO" has high defense, wording it as though it's supposed to be something everyone knows, but he actually has the Nigh-Invulnerability to prove it. Fans recalled and were quick to point out how it was clearly not the case for Mettaton NEO back in Undertale, often portraying Mettaton as getting offended by Spamton's statement. On occasion, people will jokingly portray Spamton as actually having Mettaton NEO's defense, dying from a single yellow SOUL shot.
- Spamton character edits. Explanation Thanks to Spamton's highly distinctive appearance and memetic popularity, fans frequently enjoy editing other characters who resemble him in appearance and/or personality to look like him. Among the most common ones are Customer Service/N.M.E. Sales Guy, Gojou Masaru, and especially Jerma985 (thanks to the sizable and meme-heavy nature of both fanbases, Jerma already being the subject of a nearly identical meme among his own fans, and his Cold Ham portrayal of Spamton in his playthrough of Chapter 2).
- The Next Tumblr Sexyman. Explanation The site's users who remember what the Undertale fandom did to Sans have expressed their dread at the prospect of Spamton also becoming a "Tumblr sexyman", a particular type of character who were heavily lusted after by their fanbase on Tumblr, due to having so many traits that overlap with the archetype. Many are left rather baffled. It's also extended to fanartists deliberately drawing Spamton as outright Tall, Dark, and Handsome to invoke this for the sake of parody, since that specific kind of Self-Fanservice tends to be especially common with "Tumblr Sexymen". However, some users outright refuse to create content of this type because of its prevalence, instead insisting on drawing Spamton as unattractive as possible, or small and cute instead of attractive.
- Spamton gets a call. Explanation A somewhat vulgar comic done by sludgetoons on Twitter, inspired by an attack from Spamton NEO. This particular moment has seen many a fan dub or fan animation.
- Spamton invading people's dreams. Explanation After Chapter 2's release, many fans have reported having strange Spamton-related dreams. This has led to jokes about him being some kind of a Dream Walker, especially after the Deltarune Salt Route, an entire AU based on a dream with him as a main character, was created. He's especially popular on the r/thomastheplankengine subreddit.
- Spamton dethroning Jevil. Explanation The moment Chapter 2 released, pretty much the entire fandom completely forgot that the former fan-favorite Jevil exists because of how popular and iconic Spamton is. Thus, have come jokes and animations of Spamton barging in and stealing the spotlight, usually including "THE WORLD REVOLVING", Jevil's theme, being replaced with one of Spamton's themes, most commonly "BIG SHOT".
- "SOON I'LL EVEN SURPASS THAT DAMNED [[Clown Around Town!]]" Explanation Spamton's Hilarious in Hindsight line about Jevil tends to be referenced when it comes to this meme.
- Spamton as the Big Bill Hell's announcerExplanation Due to Spamton's characterization as a shady salesman with a personality resembling those of stereotypical low-budget commercial spokesmen, he is often associated with the memetic parody advert in question. Many fans have compared him to the commercial's hammy, foul-mouthed, and openly scummy announcer, further helped by the fact that Spamton himself is implied to have been a car salesman in his backstory. Various parodies of the advert with Spamton taking on the announcer's role thus surfaced, with its script often altered to match Spamton's signature speech syntax.
- Spamton is a cat/Catboy Spamton. Explanation After it was discovered that Spamton NEO's attacks have the same element ID in the game's code as the Tasques' and Tasque Manager's, whose element is Cat, the jokes about Spamton being a cat wrote themselves.
- Spamton animal theories. Explanation Spamton has been portrayed as having traits of many different animals by the fandom, such as a bird (his long nose resembling a beak, the pipis resembling eggs and his NEO form's wings) a cat (see above) a mosquito (his pointy nose resembling a proboscis) or even a crab (based on the similarly memetic popularity of carcinization). Because of this, fanart of him as various animals has gotten popular.
- WHY IS IT CALLED A [[Restroom]] I'M FIGHTING FOR MY [[Life]] IN HERE! Explanation An unrelated meme that started getting posted on Spamton-related videos, modified to match his speech syntax. Probably became its own meme in the Deltarune fandom due to this video, and probably first started being associated with Spamton because of this fanart.
- The Basement Teacup Ride. Explanation Getting the item needed to unlock the Spamton NEO fight involves a Bullet Hell teacup ride that catches many players off-guard. Cue several jokes about how it's a harder challenge than Spamton NEO himself. The best thing about them is that there is an unironically huge amount of fans who agree with the memes and say that the teacup ride is more difficult than Spamton, at least if you discount his significantly harder Duel Boss fight on the Snowgrave Route. In the Snowgrave Route, it's also been joked that Spamton probably had to do the teacup ride himself.
- Darkner Jerma Explanation In Jerma985's playthrough of Deltarune Chapter 2, many fans noticed the streamer's affinity with (and similarity to) Spamton. The fact that Spamton's implied voice (present in his themes) and Jerma himself both have prominent Northeastern American accents, combined with Jerma's genuine enjoyment of voicing Spamton's lines, certainly helps. As does the sheer amount of pre-existing memes associated with Jerma985.
- SpongeBob NEO Explanation In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, after Plankton is defeated, SpongeBob is shown hanging from the ceiling thanks to some support cables. Of course, the moment the fandom realised that Spamton NEO is in a very similar situation, the jokes practically made themselves, with SpongeBob appearing in the Spamton NEO fight in Spamton's place.
- Spamton and NFTsExplanation With NFT (non-fungible token) makers and purchasers becoming acceptable to mock and Spamton representing most manners of old internet scams, the connections between the two made themselves. Overall, the fandom has two takes on this; Either Spamton is above selling NFTs to people, with him being mildly offended by the implication he'd get involved in that business, or he does sell NFTs, although in his own way. Most interpretations of the latter still make him not fond of crypto in general, preferring good old-fashioned kromer instead (assuming they don't portray kromer as a cryptocurrency). While the "Spamton hates NFTs" version has originally been the more popular interpretation, it's also been made a Discredited Meme due to giving Spamton Draco in Leather Pants treatment given that he's done much worse things. Instead, fans have created a new interpretation where Spamton is willing to sell NFTs, but can't for one reason or another. This second version ended up becoming an Ascended Meme, as one of the items sold during the "Spamton Sweepstakes" event was a poster referred to by Spamton's narration as a "Fungible Token".
- Beta Spamton/Spamwalker Explanation Sometime after Chapter 2's release, attention was drawn to a certain page in Undertale's art book; said page contained an Armless Biped with a hairstyle similar to Spamton's, a long nose, a big grin, and a black box censoring its name. The latter detail in particular led many to conclude that this character was an initial design for Spamton, and at the same time, many took note of how similar-looking it was to the Original Starwalker. Given Starwalker's already memetic status, memes featuring them alongside this "Spamwalker" started popping up, and some went as far as to joke that every character design started out as a Starwalker-like figure before evolving into their final designs.
- I HAVE JAUNDICE AND PINK EYE Explanation Originating from this comic, a joke in the fandom is claiming that Spamton's glasses aren't actually colored, he just has jaundice in one eye and conjunctivitis in the other, especially among those weirded out by his "Tumblr Sexyman" status.
- Divorce mascot Spamton. Explanation Inspired by a Tweet where the poster accidentally sent their mom a picture of Spamton with the text "CONGRATS ON THE DIVORCE", leading her to believe that Spamton is some sort of "divorce mascot" and now one of the mother's employees thinks so as well. A lot of fans embraced the meme and started treating Spamton as a divorce mascot themselves. Further helped by the Spamton Sweepstakes having multiple prizes alluding to marriage and messy divorces.
- Spamton plush abuse. Explanation A good sum of Deltarune fans have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Spamton. Even before Fangamer announced they would be making plushies of him, many fans would joke about how they would buy one just to abuse it, such as describing how they would cut it open (since Fangamer tends to add secrets inside their Undertale and Deltarune plushies) or pour milk on it and throw it against a wall, in reference to the "I used to have this Webkinz" meme. These jokes naturally increased after the announcement. Doesn't help that Fangamer's video announcing the plushies going on sale actually features one being drenched in milk and thrown against a wall.
- Corpse winner: Mettaton. Explanation On Chapter 2's first anniversary, Child's Play and Fangamer hosted a Spamton-themed charity with prizes for donators, one of which was a jar of white sand with pink and yellow balls labeled "Spamton After Not Surviving" (playing off the "Steven After Not Surviving" meme surrounding Sans). On Fangamer's stream announcing the winners, it's shown that the donator who won it named themselves Mettaton, and the text onscreen specifically calls them the "corpse winner". After this, fans started making jokes about how Mettaton now owns Spamton's corpse. Given how Spamton and Mettaton share a lot of similarities, some even claim that Mettaton murdered Spamton for copying him.
- Diavolo died to a Pipis Bath Rug. Explanation The winner of the Pipis Bath Rug item was, similarly to the above, named Diavolo after a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. One preexisting meme among the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fanbase claims that any piece of fan content is canon so long as Diavolo dies in it, thanks to the fact that Golden Wind ends with Diavolo being stuck in a loop of infinite varying deaths. The most common interpretation of this is that Diavolo slipped on the rug and hit his head on the floor, dying from the injury.
- Spamton [letter] Spamton. Explanation After the (non-canon) Spamton Sweepstakes finale stream showed characters named Spamton A. Spamton, Spamton B. Spamton, and Spamton Z. Spamton, fans started making hypothetical designs for Spamtons for every letter of the alphabet, often with a resemblance to someone or something that starts with that letter.
- Spamton ASS/YESExplanation The reveal for the Spamton Body Pillow during the Spamton Sweepstakes finale stream consists mostly of Spamton A. Spamton shouting "Spamton ASS!" and "Spamton YES!" The blunt, idiosyncratic nature of the bit and how well it parodies Spamton G. Spamton's "Tumblr Sexyman" status led to it being popularly quoted in response to seeing Spamton's ass.
- Spamton is racist/"NOW I OWN THE BLACK!" Explanation In Juno Songs' fanmade lyrical version of "BIG SHOT", one of Spamton's lines is "NOW I OWN THE BLACK!" While the creator explained that Spamton was referring to taking over the Dark World, as black is used as a shorthand for darkness, the fans thought that Spamton was racist and talking about slavery. Even after Juno explained the situation due to the line being frequently memed in the comments, it hasn't died down one bit, much to his discontent.
- Spamton Dude Explanation A troll post created by reddit user Big_Shot_Salesman under the guise of Thatdudetobias, presenting what appears to be a normal post asking for help on what to do in Spamton's shop, but with very minor sprite changes to Spamton just to see how people would react. And oh boy, did they react, with people becoming convinced that this was the real Toby Fox dropping secret lore breadcrumbs. People started to quickly realise the absurdity of the situation, however, leading to snowclones of the original image with more elaborate edits. Eventually died down after Big_Shot_Salesman came out and directly admitted to the whole situation.
- Diane Foxington from the bad guys is like Spamton from deltarune chapter 2 Explanation Superfox369 posted a theory on the Deltarune subreddit making comparisons between Diane Foxington from The Bad Guys (2022) and Spamton. This post was quickly mocked and memed for how reaching it is, and was made into a copypasta.
Rouxls Kaard: That wasn'tst really my ULTIMATE meme! I have a wayst better one right... here!
Ralsei: Can we see it?
Rouxls: No
