- The Cuphead Show on Netflix is SO MUCH FUN! I'm not gonna mince words here! I had a complete blast watching this cartoon! And I say cartoon because that's clearly what it's trying to be and it succeeds with flying colors! How exactly does it succeed? What are some behind the scenes secrets that led to it being so accurate? What kinds of animation inspired it? With a Cuphead Show Season 2 and Season 3 on the way, should you get to watching right away? All will be answered as I join Cuphead , Mugman , Elder Kettle , Ms Chalice , King Dice and the Devil himself as they go on wacky adventures on the Inkwell Isles! Let's see why The Cuphead Show is a perfect "cartoon" and why it truly embodies the term.
P.S. - Taking a break from the constant Encanto videos to review something kinda personal to me. Hope you don't mind. ^^;
P.S.S - This is kind of like an off shoot of my So I FINALLY WATCHED series. Let me know if you enjoyed this. ^w^ If it does well, I'll do more!

“Those hips don’t lie, but they also won’t die!”
New favorite quote. I have to find a way to put that somewhere in a comic series I wanna start.
Ima do that
Mine is Honey I want a Divorce and if I only had a heart that I could crush! Or the finger guns. Classic Finn. Makes you wonder how the bad times went down.
These are the best words ever!
My favorite scene;
Devil "If you take it off, I'll give you 10 buuckss."
Cuphead "Oh boy! Ten bucks" *reaches for bottom of sweater*
“Cuphead your soul is worth more than 10 bucks”
“You’re right! Make it 20.”
@@KingExalted That's good writing right there.
Yeah, the first time I saw that scene I was like "ummmm..... is this inappropriate?" XD
@@pundertalefan4391 Only now, did I just get it was a prostitution joke.
@@gameboy3d943 XD Yeah.
I definitely laughed a lot at this show, especially with the "No fighting" scene. That has to live on for at least a century...
I say it's the best joke of the series because of the layers it goes through.

I never played the game but have seen a play through. The show did a really good job brining it to life.
I've watched Coryxkenshin play it
I’ve seen Jacksepticeye played it
Even by just looking at all play thurs of cuphead I can tell it is hard even tho I have never played it
@@channelonflameblasts4936 I have played it with my brother but we kinda rage quit but after watching the TV series me and my brother talked about and we somewhat decided to try again
I’ve watched my siblings play it
I totally agree that there should be more cartoons that are literally just cartoons, it doesn't need tons of character depth or lore
Not saying serialized cartoons are bad, it's just that episodic ones don't get as much attention as the serialized ones when they should
@Jelly Guy 35 Yeah lmao
Although some series like Gravity Falls can make an exception
@@_darcc Well I'm not saying there should be less series with lore, or that series with lore are bad, I'm just saying there should be more series that don't have lore (but are still good)
they'll be criticized everywhere and in 4chan for doing just that too
the world is a glass egg
All it needs to be...is good
My favorite moment in this season is towards the end of "Handle with Care" when Kettle picks up Cuphead to talk to Mugman by himself, he just...picks up Cuphead by the handle and moves him as if he's someone elses cup of coffee and he doesnt wanna spill hot coffee everywhere. And it's just...SO CLEAR this is a normal thing for them as Cuphead just accepts it
Their handles are like their scruffs, they are like young animals, where they are picked up by the neck, but it’s a handle!
I agree with the handle thing too. Cause in the beginning of “Ribby and Croaks” when the cupbros started to fight, Kettle got irritated and pick them up by their handles to make them stop fighting. Also in other episodes, either Cuphead or Mugman grab each other from their handles too.
YEAHYEAHYEAH! And Cuphead and Mugman grab each others handles a lot as well it's so cute oh my god
Like he said in the video, these older cartoons absolutely LOVED giving reality the finger and just doing whatever the hell they wanted to. I'm also thinking that they live in a world where cartoon physics and rules are just...how everything is, like they are literally living in a rubberhose cartoon.
Lol
Bro, I can't tell you how much I laughed when Elder Kettle went from quirky guardian to insane murderer in less than 1 day
I think he might have some unresolved war trauma. XP
@Galaxyfnaf And Dino XD
HELP
2:39 Chalice says in ep12 "Spill the beans or you'll be spilling milk" so I'm pretty sure it's milk but also serves as a blood source
There is milk in they’re heads
They drink it though
@@YllidTheLoonyDog probably just goes back to their head when they do that
@@tvs26 But why would you drink your own blood?

I love cartoons like this this. They're just plain fun and stupidity. King Dice's episode was hilarious, and the "That's for you Jimmy! AND YOU KNOW WHAT FOR." made me crack up.
EDIT: OVER TWO HUNDRED LIKES?! HOW!!!!!!!?????!!!?!??!?!
I love shows like this too cuz the creators have full creative ability it makes it so free and interesting every episode!
@@yn9491 ikr! The show is funny and charming and creative and I personally lost track of how many times I rewatched it.
true
okay how the frick did I get almost 100 likes--
"It appears your helpline has frozen in terror"
I think the animation is super awesome, which easily match what they could do in the 1930's along with the more resent stuff of Wander over Yawnder, but doesn't quite have the same level of high intensity of energy just yet, but, I attribute it more to inexperience in writing these sorts of wacky slapstick as they keep improving a lot over each episodes. Looking forward to seeing more.
Jesus Christ, look how you butchered one of my favorite cartoons.
The voice acting is amazeding I love the art style
@@JameyMcQueen are you talking about mlp?
@@dark_wyvern8880 i think it might be the mispelling of "Wander over Yawnder" if i had to guess
As a lifelong animation fanatic, I fell in love with Cuphead before it was even properly released. And the Cuphead Show is practically a religious experience for me. Every last frame of animation is a love letter to its forefathers. I showed it to my cousin the other day and we binged through half the series in one sitting because he couldn't stand to go without seeing just one more episode.
The good news is, this series is set to have 48 episodes, so we’ve got three more seasons at least if they keep it 12 at a time.
wish it could be more :(
@@basaris1277 at least we got that I think it's good
No way, that’s awesome!
@@basaris1277 I would love that but you know what happens when a (non-anime) show runs for too long :(
@@val_ue Seasonal rot.
Honestly, this show was an absolute joy to watch. I was a little irritated at the fact that we wouldn’t get to see the devils casino due to the fact that this is more and towards children and we shouldn’t be showing them gambling on screen anymore, but I still loved what we got so far. I’m most excited to see more of king dice, I can imagine he’s pretty pissed of losing his position is the Devil‘s right hand man, as well as losing his game show.
I’m very excited for season two, I really hope that we get to see more of the bosses from the game, especially Baroness von bonbon, Cala Maria, and hopefully we will get to see the full phantom express and it’s crew! While obviously it’s not the perfect copy of game to show or anything, it still is a wonderful thing that can be presented to and funny to audiences of all ages!
The animation and background is absolutely gorgeous, putting a modern twist to all techniques used from an era that has long since passed in the years of animation. It’s truly beautiful. Design wise, I think I liked king dice and Chalice the most, but personality wise, the devil was my absolute favorite. He’s funny, he sings very well (so does KD), I love the creative ways that they use his fighting techniques in the original game, and his personality is so lively but it fits the character so well!
Well I wish I could see what the show would’ve been like if it didn’t have to have the kid friendly restrictions so that we could see the casino, I loved how this came out and I am very excited for season two and to meet more of the bosses and characters that we have seen along the way in the isles of the game!
I think that the Devil's Casino will be explored in later seasons. Also, if a Mario game can have a slot machine in it, as well as went by the Nintendo of America censors, and SJW idiots, then I do think that the Devil's Casino will be explored at a later date. However, the cigarette and liquor boss characters from the Cuphead video game might not get to be in the series unless there is a very good and plausible reason why they are in the game. Tiny Toon Adventures learned that lesson the hard way, despite the ironic fact that the episode that had alcohol and smoking in it was not only a critique for older cartoons having them, but that it was legitimately supposed to be a anti-drug and anti-liquor PSA that was literally preaching AGAINST doing such things.
Isn't it generally accepted that The Cuphead Show is a prequel to the game, hence why the Devil doesn't own a casino and why Cuphead and Mugman lack powers? I'm not against the show aiming itself more at kids, due to the Moldenhauers wanting kids to take interest in rubberhose animation.
@@AluminumFusion22 I’m not too sure honestly- there are a couple things I wish they’d delve into tho-
It’ll be fun to see how they incorporate some of the other bosses from game into the show, like Bareness Von Bon Bon or Beppi the clown
This show is simple but good we need more King dice and Ms.Chalice.
Doesn’t anyone feel bad for elder kettle in dirt nap the man took a lot of hits tanking it like a true trooper
Tbh facts…
Yeah. Didn't he like die?
Wasn't expecting this Finn! Regardless despite never playing the games myself this show looks like fun. I'll give it a try!
ee oo aaa aaa aaa a a a EEE OO AAA AAA AAA A A A A
heads up if you arent the GREATEST at video games (like me) this will make you very angry
@@H3ARTSF0RY0UB3ST1E based on the opening sketch it definitely seems like it. Finally watched all 12 episodes and I had a blast. Mugman is my favorite character. He's adorable!
@@chloenieuwsma4846 ik me too
I found it so refreshing since it didn't have a long, convoluted plot. It felt so good to just have an actual cartoon.
Totally agree!
I'm a HUGE fan of Fleischer and Silly Symphonies, so I'm all over this show. It helps me to enjoy Cuphead without playing it. Game is...sensory overload. As your opening gag portrays. XD
Yeah I thought about getting the game bc of my love of old cartoons, but I'm not good at platformers so I skipped it. Apparently that was a good choice. 😄
@@anyu Yeah. I wouldn't exactly consider it a platformer, but I feel you. I'm not good at shooters. XD
"KIng Dice! Such suave! Such class! Such showmanship!"
King Dice: **Eats camera.**
Classy. XD
@@pundertalefan4391 I was literally just thinking about the comment I put on this video
@@_Circe XD Funny.
Me: gets nosebleed from giggling too much
The liquid inside the cups is milk. They show this using dialogue and action. First, when they meet ms. Chalice. She questions the cups why they are following her. She then says, “Spill the beans or you will be spilling milk!” Another time in the show when ms. Chalice gets cuphead and mugman a cookie factory, before the cups eat one of the cookies, they dip it into the liquid in their cups, leading to the conclusion of it being milk. (Love the vid btw😂)
The Cuphead Show is the best series I've seen, I can't wait for it to come out in the second season.
I LOVE their sibling dynamic. I feel like other characters with their types of personalities tend to be extreme but I like how they dialed it back a bit and you could really the close bond they have. I also like how they compliment each other and that they express their friendship routinely.
I’m personally REALLY exited to see more of Ms Chalice, in just twelve minutes she’s completely won me over as a character, she’s so fun!
Big question is why King Dice didn't get a song of his own since he was the only character whose theme had lyrics (if you don't count the barbershop quartets')
Just finished watching it, and I've got to say it's really interesting that something based on an animation style that hasn't been popular for several decades can still entertain and engage me. I never played the game, but if this show is any indication it might be worth a play to me 😊
13:19
Its nice to know that i'm not the only one who got a laugh out of cuphead cutting his plate in half
0:29 squidward plays cuphead?!?!
This is an uncomplicated cartoon done RIGHT. I love a deep plot and mystery, and I tend to gravitate towards them, because they simply have more care put into them than most shows. But this made me laugh, and I don't need more than that. It's just good.
Fun Fact: Wayne Brady has also done animated character voices as well, including one for Disney on a show that was called The Weekenders.
I'm not too familiar with the Cuphead franchise, so thanks for eloquently explaining why the animation looks so retro-style-gorgeous. The art style of this cartoon is like a blend of Max Fleischer and early Disney with a bit of Ren and Stimpy tossed in, and the slapstick is pure Looney Tunes. I've always assumed that the liquid in Cuphead and Mugman's heads is cerebrospinal fluid, which would add a touch of horror to the scenes where they get broken...
In layman's terms it's the rubberhose retro aesthetic that's timeless.
0:05 That literally just happened to me like 5 minutes ago.
Grim Matchstick is the definition of pain
I was used to watching some of the classic cartoons like Looney Tunes or Tom & Jerry when I was young. Even though I've grown out of cartoons, I watched this show with minimal expectations, and was hit with one of the best shows I've ever watched. They absolutely nailed it.
Saaaaaame. Tom and Jerry is my favorite cartoon, so I had a ball with this. :03
If you watch the last episode of season 1 it's confirmed that the liquid in their heads is indeed milk. (they even dunk a cookie in it before eating that)
In season 2 Captain Brineybeard mistook Cuphead for his hot chocolate cup.
It's just a really good fun cartoon. It's fun. Also, your review was actually funny; like the gags about the out-of-context clips, the booing after the "grasping at STRAWS" joke, and the audio gags actually had me laughing
I did grow up with this style of animation since my parents were really oldschool and had a lot of cassettes featuring these, and the cuphead show brought me right back. The show made me feel so nostalgic I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole pilot.
3:16
"and I'm about to show you why"
proceeds to show The Devil showing the letter 'y'
I've seen the clips, but I'm still having trouble imagining you raging at anything Finn. 😂
I am however, very impressed at your knowledge of animation techniques.
And lastly, you and your wordplay. 👍
1:27
Elder Kettle: Here, take these powers so your enemies don't hang you out to dry.
Finn: So, that was a freaking lie.
15:00 guess you can say he got de-*cup*-itated
I've watched the show twice already, and will gladly watch it 100 times more!
So here's a suggestion for you, if you actually read it.
Dogs in Space is a cartoon that is somehow good despite the name sounding like a throwaway joke that would appear in a sitcom or something. No spoilers, just watch it.
YES my husband and I started watching and he keeps giggling over all the dog based humor! It's a surprising good show!
@@annelise5050 Other people actually watch this show? Woah.
10:32 "like in half a decade when I'm pushing 80 thats the kind of guy I wanna be."
finn half a decade is 5 years.... are you older than we thought?
After watching, the characters and especially the animation remind me a lot of Ren and Stimpy of all things. The insane facial expressions, the bizarre world, and the humor. Of course, Ren and Stimpy itself was riffing on an old school style of animation.
I never knew that this was a video game until the show came out. The show is amazing. The devil is on my short list of my favorite devil character designs, the other one is the devil from A Tale Dark and Grimm. I can't wait for the next season.
0:16 “honey i want a divorce” that is the perfect line
I'm so glad this show turned out to be good as I hoped, since it will be the last new show I will watch for a really really really long time (no seriously I don't have any interest in any of the new shows that are coming out in the near future, or even 1-2 years from now...)
The Cuphead Show: Making the animation style of old feel new once again
The kind dice episode was absolutely awesome, i love all the voice actors, especially cup heads voice actor!
hmm I'd have to say the Cuphead show isn't necessarily an authentic 1930's cartoon in terms of stylization, it's closer to 90s animation with the writing, pacing and how the characters move and emote. Popeye, Betty Boop, Felix, etc. are entirely different beasts compared to the Cuphead show for example.
The cuphead show emulates a handful of techniques from older cartoons but that's mostly in terms of backgrounds, physical 3D props and the film grain overlays, the way the characters are drawn in the show is as if a 90s cartoon interpreted 1930's designs rather than what would actually be made during the era.
TLDR: The cuphead game itself is era accurate but the show is not, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, I just think that a distinction needs to be made between something that is era accurate and something that is only visually similar but not authentic, as the cuphead show is something that more-so "invokes the feel" of a style without necessarily matching it like the game does.
This.
It would take them years upon years to make if they did it hand-drawn like in the game.
I think my favourite moment of the show is “ it’s twinkle twinkle little star!”
I love the show too. But i live in Germany and in this version all the names are translated. I know it's because of the younger watcher but it's so weird to hear the names Tassilo ( Cuphead), Pottkopp (Mugman) and König Würfel (King dice). I always watch English comic dubs of Cuphead and am so just to hear there english names. Sorry for bad grammar.
You're good. :-)
I watched it in German as I’m learning it, and I thought it was way better than the English version.
Hi i am an Indian fan so i watch the show in Hindi! I also had the same experience like the nickname mugsy turning into mug-du , king dice into king or Raja Pasha(Pasha means dice) , elder kettle as Buddhe kettli (old kettle) but the devil didn't get his name changed cus there is no word for "devil" in hindi !
@@silverrrosey Buddha Kettli is awesome. XD
@@pundertalefan4391 right Xd
the cupped shows first got the number one on the kids section on Netflix but now despicable me 2 took it over kids these days.
Omg I just realized u reach 100k Congrats Finn!
11:25 calling him "number 2" was a great reference to the [SPOILERS] episode where he gets "replaced" by a demon just because he didn't got cuphead's soul
"Your tilted 180°, how does your brain choose to stay in your head?!" 14:27, so funny
I love the part were they tried to make a deal with the devil selling his soul for 20 bucks
It’s water in his cup, 1930’s animation made water in small scales white (“clear”).
What an amazingly thorough and in-depth review of this wonderful show! I love this show to death and finding that someone made such a well-produced review of it made my day. Your humor is perfect and you highlighted all my favorite parts of the show, and details that I hadn’t even noticed or considered! 10/10, most definitely watching again!
1:16 Just noticed that's a BFDI mouth
It took me 4 years to get every achievement in Cuphead, I have made countless Cuphead drawings ever since it came out, and I have watched thousands of Cuphead videos and live streams. It was all fun (Except for getting every achievement that sucked), so when I heard there was gonna be a Cuphead Show, I searched up on every browser I had and every social media I had about the release date. And it came out after so long and it's better then I thought it would be
“I’m feeling *dangerous* “ - Mugman.
*”EEEEEEEEE”* is my fav line from him. Change my mind.
I LOVE that cartoon. Was just so imaginative and funny! I keep on watching the show over and over, even though I know the whole thing STILL IT'S TOO GOOD FOR ME.
I love everything you noted in the show and more. I watched all sorts of animations like this and this felt just like those other shows. Basically this show is perfect. However my favorite is still Tom and Jerry, though The Cuphead show is still in my top 5.
10:20
I'm sorry, I laughed at this harder than I should have. 🤣
"Those hips don't lie, but they also won't DIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!"
I am so using that.
thanks for the tape ahahah its honestly such a great game and great show I'm not lying I've watched it 12 times is so simple and fun and each character has such a cool and unique personality! your video had so many great points that I 100% agree with!
cuphead show was surely a memoral given the cartoons i grew up with, i love the show
This show gives off good vibes and I love it
It's milk, btw. XD

Yeah, those good times were actually good for this game.
THIS game.
I love how you picked up on how Cuphead's personality is shown in the very first scene. It was an interesting detail I didn't think about until much later. Glad I wasn't the only one!
JUST STARTED WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL AND PF I'M ALREADY IN LOVE WITH YOUR HUMOR
11:46 STAN WAYNE BRADY
0:41 ha ha ha finger guns!!
I love the simple fun animations. And cuphead blows that style out of the water. I'm excited to see more of the show!
First time in your channel and oh boy how i laughed! thank you so much!
14:08 this was one of my favourite scenes
0:49 bruh Godzilla roar
We all can agree that the music slaps
Great video and review, dude!
Hopefully by the next season, it takes place during the events of the game.
(11:25)#.2? Didn't King Dice sad "It's your #.1 calling"?
I think Finn meant it as like 2nd in command, which he seems to be in the game.. but yes, king dice did call himself #1, as meaning #1 henchman.
Well that's one way to put it, i guess.
This was a great review of the show and also you sound like Squidward at 0:30 during the montage 😂
?? i didn’t realize how old these animations were i guess! when i was little tiny baby child( currently 16 right now) my mom let me watch Popeye, betty, and other stuff like that. felix the cat was definitely my favorite, though. i didn’t realize so many people didn’t partly grow up on this stuff lol. once i saw cuphead i had such an attachment because it felt to nostalgic- like actually lol. i have sm love for the creators.
same but I was five currently 12 and my mom let me watch Popeye and I love it
0:57 everyone has their breaking point!
14:28 That's what I'm saying!
The creators of Cuphead confirmed the stuff in Cuphead and mugmans heads is the essence of their souls.
Just finished binge watching it; loved it.
I finished season 1 yesterday.
I thought it was... fine.
Most of the episodes were passable. I quite liked a few of them (especially the first, the third, the fifth and the eight). The other ones were mostly "ok". Except episode 2 that was pretty bad.
I would have liked more of King Dice, it's a shame he appeared in only one episode.
The animation and the style are what really sold the show, because yeah, they are indeed pretty dope, but if those were downgraded, the show wouldn't be half as enjoyable.
It's a pretty standard show. Could be worse, but could also have been a lot better.
I know they probably wanted to do their own thing without being bond to the original game's story, but the game's concept would have made for a much more interesting narrative, I think.
This cartoon Is the Best!!!!! Please love this old school cartoons because Are amazing!!!!!
Just the beginning got you a new sub
Both the game and this show and such a delicious cup o tea. It’s not anything deep, it’s not trying to push any agenda or anything like that, this show and the makers know exactly what they wanted to do. Just have fun. And that’s what cartoons are all about! Pure unfiltered fun!
