HEY! I'm adding all the stuff I missed up into the description! Make sure you go check em out! Thanks to everyone in the comments for pointing them out!
You missed this reference.when cuphead is throwing the balls in soul ball,he pulls up his shorts with a smug look, this is a reference to one of his start up animations inside of the game :)
Love how they added a bunch of references for fans. They even added some nods to older cartoons, like a few backround characters that look like Bimbo the Dog, Felix the Cat, and the Saxophone from Music Land! Can't wait to see the series and even more references in just under a month!
The skeletons shown in that mausoleum section were direct references to the skeleton dance and the way skeletons were designed by ub iwerks in flip the frog shorts, most notably "Spooks" (Iwerks who was paid a small tribute to in perilous piers with one of the background buildings named after him)
One of my favorite references from the show to the game is in the Root Pack episode, when Cuphead gets an idea, his straw separates from his head and forms an exclaimation point in the exact same manner it does when he drinks Elder Kettle's potion at the beginning of the game! The same also applies when you open the game past 100% completion, at least it does with Mugman...
The fact that this entire series is heavily influenced by old fashioned cartoons from the 1920' & 30's makes it feel like even in the modern times we can't forget what made cartoons so great in the first place.
1:46 you can actually see the tuba from the run and gun here aswell also at 4:38 right below the top hat ghost you can see the rat ghost the Werner werman uses in his final phase
You missed one, there’s a secret radish boss in the original game, and in the background you can see her preforming with the other vegetables. 1:15 Also this isn’t a reference to Cuphead, but the skeletons here is a reference to Spooky Scary Skeletons I believe 1:28
yes but no, the skeletons are actually from an early Disney animation called the skeleton dance, but the animation is commonly attributed to spooky scary skeletons
4:43 There’s also the mouse ghost from that one cat robot thing mouse (IDK HIS NAME) 5:24 The car in the bottom right looks a lot like that old cartoon of a cat called felix, And when that part while King dice is picking a person to go up, Like that guy who was like “yay” but he sounded tired and bored, I noticed something (I think it was northwest pointing but I noticed that there is Oswald. Also another thing in 5:24 is that above the Felix cat guy it looks like that one turtle that was fishing or sitting on a deck I can’t remember.
There’s also a saxophone in the scene where they were performing and I think there’s another scene from the trailer but I forgot lol, that looks identical in a Silly Symphonies cartoon called “Music Land”. As one of the main protagonist, is the Prince of Jazz Isle (the Saxophone). Idk if he actually has a real name (You can look it up. It’s one of my favorite silly symphonies cartoon. Prolly cuz I’m a band student and seeing a romeo and juliet type of love story always entertains me)
At 4:38 in the top right corner, you can see the horse that is at the bottom of the screen from the king dice battle! You can also see in the bottom right corner the rat ghost from Werner Werman’s last phase!
4:55 #22 - Those saxophones are a direct reference to the characters from the 1935 Silly Symphonies short "Music Land" by Walt Disney. There is also a statue in Inkwell Isle 3 referencing this as well.
4:09 I think the egg may belong to Grim, since in the other scene they bring a giant egg-shaped bag to Porkgrind's and that leads to Grim burning the house. The baby probably hatches during that.
Sorry, but I highly doubt that it's Grim. Firstly, Grim is a male, and to have that egg, this Grim would have to have been female. And secondly, there is very little chance that they'd give someone like Grim, with his interesting personality, such a minor role.
@@aurorawizard7045 Watch the show and you'll see! Also who said he cant have a mate in the show? Or that babies cant be brought by storks in this universe? Or that Grim isn't a species that can reproduce asexually? 😄
2:52This horse looks just like Beppi's Charlie! !Moreover, Tumbler Beppi was in the newspaper that Mugman had!The theory that Beppi will appear in Season 3 is convincing! ! !yay! !
First I know this show isn’t necessarily canon however since we don’t know much here’s a theory Grim doesn’t turn into a flamethrower to attack and king dice seems to run his own show separate from the devil so what if this show takes place before most of the residence gamble there souls away and before the game starts
In the episode “Ribby and Croaks”, there’s a scene when Ribby and Croaks are chasing Cuphead and Mugman. While they do, it’s playing the music from the actual Ribby and Croaks levela.
This might be one or it can just be a design change but The fat demon’s glove is yellow in the show but white in the game and that might be a reference because just like the game Cuphead and Mugman sometimes change colours on their boots or gloves as you can see at 5:56. Also great video !
In #21 the moon in the back seems to resemble Hilda Berg, she transforms into a crescent moon for the final phase of the boss, and her death quote says, (something along the lines of) “I haven’t even gone half moon” Implying she can transform into all phases
In roll the dice where Cuphead says a joke about two cannibals when they all laugh pause it and you can see in the top right corner one of the boss fights.
3:18 I like to think that that's actually a variant of Grim's species. I like to think that in series two, the real Grim meets Cuphead and Mugman, who make friends with him and help him reach his true potential (when he has three heads)
The first meet with King Dice "sprinkle sprinkle little bar" is from the character Cheese in Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. "Sprinkle sprinkle little bar what I wonder is a cat."
Um detalhe que eu percebi: Na cena onde Cuphead e Mugman correm dos fantasmas, além de ter o do Expresso Fantasma e dos Mausoléus, também vi no canto inferior direito o fantasma do rato prisoneiro da fase do Tom e Jerry.
I think you missed a reference. When the devil first appears, the crowd in carnEVIL immediately runs away and the last one in the crowd who runs away really resembles the appearance of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. It’s gotta be a reference. I also noticed Felix the cat. One more thing, in the ghost scene one of the ghosts to the top of the screen kinda looks like that one green muppet with the orange beard and the gold teeth. It might just be me who thinks that but who knows.
4:53 look at the moon, it looks like the boss who at the end starts transforming into a moon (I don't remember her name) but here, it looks like she turned into a full moon, I'm not really sure if it's actually a reference to the normal game, but I'm just saying that I noticed that.
In the root pack scene where it’s all the vegetables on stage there is a beetroot and I think it’s a reference to the secret beetroot in the root pack level
On episode 10 (dangerous mugman) when porkrind is giving them a dangerous task, you can see the weapons and charms of the game: Chaser, Spread, Heart and Roundabout
I saw Pip and Dot in the king dice game show crowd. Oh and also, the phantom express ghost wasn’t the only thing there, there was also the ghost mouse from the 3rd phase of Werner Werman on the opposite side. Also the mausoleum ghost that splits up into more ghosts.
Correct me if I'm wrong but at 4:33, the ghost resembling a mouse on the bottom right kinda looks like one of the ''ghost prisoner'' mice that are used as an attack/phase when fighting the cat and mouse boss. Not too sure what the name of the boss was :)
I've got a reference! So in episode 5, when Cuphead and Mugman enter the show to the tire rolling you can you those stack things with the faces from King Dice's boss fight from number 4. But they got a seat for themselves. If I'm not specific, The death quote is: You stack them up, I knock them down.
Great video, although from what I know there is 1 thing you missed. 4:37 if you look at the bottom right corner, you see the rat ghost. This is a reference to Werner werman final boss fight in the level “Murine corps”. Katzenwagen. Releases These rats in jail clothing to fire orb at you. Totally subscribing.
In the first episode (9:19) when cuphead and mugman are running while the doors shut behind them, i feel like that could be a reference from toy story 2 when buzz runs away from the spikes.
this isn't in the trailer, but I thought I'd say it anyway. In the scene where Cuphead is throwing the ball in the "Soul Ball" game, The ball he's throwing is a "Lobber" weapon ball.
When elder kettle pick cup head up when mugman lost his handle it looks like when the cup head dies and the ghost come out it has the same hands and he closes his eyes( mugman did the same thing but in a different episode ) , and also in the beginning he does the starting animation when cuphead is about to fight
I think it’s episode 10 when porkrind is daydreaming about smashing cuphead and mugman for like 2 frames you can see some of the upgrades that you buy in the game on his desk off the the left (sorry if I didn’t explain very well)
In the episode “in charm’s way”, there is the boss from the king dice fight “pip and dot” in the top left corner of the screen when cup head and mugman are just exiting the theatre. But this is the actual show so ignore this comment if you want
In dirt nap, the reference when elder kettle says “WHERE DID THINGS GO SO WRONG!?… Traitors” the picture is a reference of the game picture of them hugging each other
5:27 I think I found a reference to Oswald the lucky rabbit? As they ran from the Devil I’m not so sure but the blue shorts and the rabbit-like form look very familiar
In the episode with all the vegetables when it's like turning the camera we can see the radish from the game which can be seen if you ignore the onion he won't attack you and just spawn the carrot aswell as a little radish
It would be very difficult to see this if you haven't developed Cuphead but let me let you all in on a little secret: in the trailer, when Cuphead and Mugman are at the amusement park, you can see Mugman, Cuphead's brother. This is a reference to the secret character Mugman in Cuphead, who is also Cuphead's brother. Another tip of the hat is the character Cuphead, who is named very similarly to the character in Cuphead, Cuphead. Another detail that solidifies the Cuphead in The Cuphead Show as being Cuphead in Cuphead is the fact that his head is a cup, a painfully obvious factor that solidifies my theory that The Cuphead Show is based off of Cuphead.
2:50 that horse and horse shoe reminds me more of Beppis horse phase in isle 2 And 4:40 there is a Rat Ghost as a call back too the Ghost Rats in Isle 3 with Werman Werner (or however ya spell it)
There is another one, along with the phantom express and the mausoleum ghosts, also in the bottom you can see the ghost from the level murine corps where Werner wermans ghost from the third phase.
the ghost rat in the down-right corner is actually in the werner werman boss when the cat makes his teeth into steel bars and the jousting ghost in the top-right corner looks like the skeleton horseman in mr dice boss.
Not During the main trailer but in the trailer where they introduce king dice in the show, pip and dot (the domino) can be seen in the background while the guy is chose to roll the dice
