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 :)

[@landonscobee]

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!

[@JustoAllDay]

I noticed Felix! But I wasn't sure about the others! I love what they've done in this trailer!

[@screwyjones1308]

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)

[@BetterDayz55]

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...

[@princessmoneystackz]

doesnt his straw do that multiple times?

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.

[@behindtheanimatorsdesk]

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

[@evandrennon3534]

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

#5 reminds me of The Skeleton Dance from Silly Symphonies

[@squirrelmeat7603]

SpOOKy sCaRy SkeLeToNs

[@BonzbieBonnie]

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)

[@myekul]

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.

[@Panarin_Prodz]

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!

[@DocFusion98]

Considering the lava and volcano behind the egg, I think the egg can only be the baby grim matchstick

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! !

0:39 here you see a goat the closely resembles that goat from steamboat willie. the one that mickey used to play music

[@Zach221]

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 !

[@weirdst_]

The video is 5:48 long.. where can you see that?

[@mullisaukko423]

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.

[@amirshahril3]

Tru

[@aurorawizard7045]

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.

[@mullisaukko423]

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

[@jayceypaws4825]

[@aurorawizard7045]

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)

[@domomcbeasty743]

Finally! Someone who noticed the water person! Almost everyone didn’t know what that thing was!

On the part when the ghost are chasing Cuphead and Mugman, on the bottom right there are the rat ghost from Murine Corps ( Werner Werman level)

The skeltons seem to be based on the one you see in the casino during the opening cutscene

[@PugsAreCool262]

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.

[@Doorsfan123]

For those who don’t know who who Oswald and Felix are they were 1930s cartoon characters before Mickey

[@rolexsige]

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."

In the ghost part, you can also see the ghost of a emprisoned mouse from the cat and mouse boss fight in the bottom right corner.

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.

[@chonkycatanimations8515]

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.

[@TheCardMaster0489]

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

[@simonhall5787]

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.

[@Random_Goofster]

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.

[@theoneandonlyturtle6942]

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 :)

[@GM_Neo]

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.

[@glutty2320]

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.

[@ashlyn0pie489]

In Roll The Dice, in the audience, there is a dominoes character Pip & Dot. It's noticeable when Cuphead and mugman tumble in.

[@noahtaylor9498]

In the background you can see the balls the clowns ran on in the carnival run and gun.

[@OnyxTheDemon]

At 5:00, those are saxophones, (they are woodwinds not brass) that are playing brass instruments (the "trumpets" and trombones)

[@the24thcoolguyinhistory]

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.

When mugman tries to pat cupheads soul back in his body it is super similar to the sound that the peashooter does

[@jessicajuareza]

My son spotted this and wanted to tell you: When chalice is out when the Christmas show finishes cuphead and mugman meet up with Chalice and then for a little while their is the shots in the cuphead game their was the chaser, the red shot, I don't know what it really is but there was also the boomerang shot and the heart that gives you 4 lives. This happen on season 3, episode 7.
