Cuphead's Secret Hidden Story (Cuphead Animator Theory)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- Cuphead seems at first to be the simple tale of two cartoon characters who get themselves into a sticky bind, but is there more to this story? Is Cuphead and Mugman's story secretly the tale of a troubled animator and his brother, with the game reflecting and symbolizing events occurring to the pair in real life? In this Cuphead game theory we take a look at a creepy alternative to the story presented in the game... this is the hidden story of Cuphead you never knew...

This also works specially well before you fight the Devil, he gives you the choice to either fight him or join him, which could mean the brothers have to choose between paying their debt or listening to their gambling addiction and gamble all they've earned for a chance to come out with extra money. You lose if you join the devil because it means they didn't learn anything.
You have big brains

Hey,that makes loads of sense..
Pig grains
Troubled animator? Hmm.... that's a new way of looking into the game. (But everyone can agree on my theorie : This game make everyone rage.)
That's not a theory, that's a fact lol
@@weakiedave yup. So by a range of 1/10, how much rage does it gives you. (Me:100/10. I raged so hard I nearly broke my computer.)
KRONOS yeesh
I'm a rage quiter so I'll probably break something.

Cuphead takes place in the prohibition era,so wouldn’t the animator’s drinking be illegal?
That would explain mugman's habit from drinking his head but really it's the animator's brother is just drinking alcohol.
in the prohibiton era, no one even cared. everyone wanted to fulfill their addiction and because drinking is gone the legal drinking age is gone so that explains why they went to the boat bar while they were so young
In the game it’s the animator telling the story of his childhood, drinking wouldn’t have been illegal back when he was a kid
@@elijahestel1095 well, the creators of cuphead say the stuff inside cuphead and mugman is the essence of their souls, witch still is kinda odd because he sometimes drinks it in his intro animations.
Few things to add: The beginning bosses are easy vegetables for farming. Hard but not TOO hard work.
The bosses get harder as addictions take hold and then each are the harder struggles of completing the work, then kicking the habits.
Now some of the food based ones are simple: Want for food. Like craving candies or such. Great Depression after all.
Vice bosses are for vices. Smoking, drinking, easy stuff
Fun Fact: the levels represent the bad habits the animator does for example:
forrest follies: playfully harming nature
the hotdog level: junk food addiction
the inside tree trunk level: harmfully experimenting on nature
ah yes, my two worst habits, playfully harming nature and harmfully experimenting on nature
@@awkwardbound569 yes
Bruh ur good at dis ur voice gets me lost in the story cuz u sound like an great narrator
Yes!
WhAt Is A nArRaToR?
@@medic8727 Hmmmmmmm
*I PERSON DAT VOICE SOMETHING ;w;*
Galaxy the cat Angel WhAt Is A pErSoN?
It actually true
That's a cool theory, but the real eerie part about it all is that Cuphead as a game was created by two brothers as well. So what if the game also tells a story of the real life game designers?🤔 Hmm the world may never know.
A secret about the actual Creatos of cuphead that you (probably forever) never knew (know.
Strawberry Crazycake the world may never know-lollipop commercial
If so, *the bosses better have happened or else I will be very upset*
But it’s just a theory
A ga- oh wrong channel
yeah however mat pat has his own theory on this game go check it out if you haven't
You pick the wrong channel I’m foul
It says 'one reply' but i see two. What is TH-cam smoking?
Some random dude a real life theory

Can't wait for the next DLC for cuphead right 😎😍☺
Why would you like to play the cuphead dlc than just keep worshipping bendy?
*Also i think bendy would be mad from that ;-;*
@@rhen0622 -_-
Still waiting for dlc
I can't wait
@Lasgana boi Brah shut youp!
I never knew cuphead resembled a persons and his brother struggle during the Great Depression.
It is a theory not a fact. Or in another sense a different perspective or view from a game
i love the cuphead theory's because there always really good
Hi
Considering the creators of the game are brothers, this theory has a lot of volume to it.
I'm glad that there was a happy ending for his story
It is a crime to be this good and not be the most popular person on TH-cam.
Mike, I have a theory to add to this one on how the DLC ties in! After quitting the casino for good, the brothers move to a quaint European village that they'd visit on holiday when they were kids. Their childhood friend who lived in that village is represented by Miss Chalice. The three used to earn money by delivering ingredients to the local Baker (represented by Saltbaker). When grown up and back however, the brothers learn that their friend (and possibly several others) were murdered by the Baker years ago. This is all translated into their cartoons. Thoughts Mike?
wow thats actually very good
@@SuperTessa25 Thank you so much!
I also have a little theory of the Cuphead show that could possibly tie in this theory ( also spoilers for the Cuphead show)
The Cuphead show is basically representing the childhood lives of the animator (who represents Cuphead) and his brother (who represents Mugman) and there father figure ( who represents Elder kettle) and represents the two brothers doing things together like doing chores like painting the fence with the animator sees is boring along with the countryside. When they get to the carnival Cuphead plays soul ball and Roll the dice represents animator’s first introduction to gambling. With his inner demon (who represents the Devil) is being to grow on him. quadratus represents the animator’s conscience and telling him that his brother is only thing that stop his inner demon. The Sweet temptation (who features baroness von bon bon) in season 2 is representing the animator’s trying to prevail the gambling. Ms chalice might represents a childhood friend or a guardian angel Bowlboy represents a childhood friend back at the countryside who was a weird kid to the animator and his brother. As for the animator and his brother they are obviously represented by Cuphead and mugman as two are very close despite the two fighting,the animator slacking off and not always getting along they still do care for each other while they still have each other’s back through thick and thin meanwhile the brother knows the animator is going through a lot. there relationship also is represented in rather it sharing breakfast and comforting each other. By the end of season 3 Cuphead beating the devil at rock paper scissor to save not just him and Mugman’s souls but also freeing Chalice representsthe animator facing his inner demons and the Devil’s casino by the end of the episode is representing the animator’s inner demon is still in control of his addiction. Cuphead running towards the casino represents years later since there is nothing that can stop him from doubling down.
Sorry if this comment is very long 😅this is just a theory I thought of just for fun and kinda not making making sense you say that I doubled down on this theory.😂
@@Dewdrop-verse-ox9bh Very smart. I applaud your deduction! 👏👏 Could very well be a larger representation of world 1's story.
Thanks Madness Poison when I first saw your theory I thought in my head and thought “what if the Cuphead show is connected to this story” and I did expect it to get your attention.
Love ur theories they seem to be like they could be true
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE
@Sophiasfv Flower Not at all, also learn grammar
Danytus ur being so rude , chill
@@skdxb060572 i'm not rude, i'm spitting facts.
Danytus ya know that Sophiasfv Flower just made one mistake
5:50 Hol' up! You mean you can CROUCH DODGE this move?!
This whole time I thought you had to JUMP over it!
same!!!
same
Hmmm, that theory is so well thought out. That is very smart to talk about.
So... i just came back from scrolling casino cups au on tumblr to see this?
DIS IS FRICKING AMAZING!!
You know what. I support this theory 😐
Yesssss games deserve more artistic interpretations
Another theory is that there’s a lesson behind cup head simply don’t gamble because cup head looses his soul to the devil because of gambling
Stay off the wrong side of the tracks and yes don't trust the devil he isn't called the father of lies for mo reason
So it's kind of like the animator that made cuphead was trying to retell his story to others by reanimating himself and his brother as cuphead and mugman interesting (and about the devil just simply is their inner demon it also explains why the devil is the most hardest boss in cuphead).
Me: Don't worry! We all get sad at some point!
Great Depression:
Ok your thinking about this way too deep
Cool theory. Always love watching your theory videos and your playthroughs.
i think you play too much bendy..... jk this is great! I like it a lot. Keep up the great work!
From secret creepy hidden audio to unfinished bosses to the actual bosses and their looks to the secretly story of a troubled animator cuphead has a lot of dark secrets. Who knows what else can be found creepy about this game?
A picture of Ink Bendy at a huge size kind of venom like while one of his feet crushes mugman and at the same time grabbing cuphead by the neck and start chocking him while his head starts to crack while he cries and screams in pain while calling out the words "HELP US PLEASE!!!" while Ink Bendy in the background starts laughing like a mad man with the same laughter from the bad ending but more insane and unpleasant while he says "I SATEN ARE YOUR GOD".
Your the best at making theory's keep making great videos
I think bendy is the unknown voice because when it shows 414 you can hear ink like walking away. So bendy might be the unknown voice. The ink, the new voice, it all sums up
Oh mah god your right!! ITS BENDY!! TWO CARTOONS PUT TOGETHER HOLY HECK
For gods sake THIS GAME IS NOT IN COLLABORATION WITH BENDY. And I mean the entire game and artstyle is made with ink, like all 1930s cartoons. Use your brain dude!
@@oliverthedum2129 it has a reference to bendy or animations because the island is called inkwell isles right?
@@oliverthedum2129 it came after bendy
@@kaidyngaming but it’s not a reference to bendy. It’s the same artstyle, but it doesn’t mean it’s a collaboration with another random, completely different game with no affiliation at all.
I haven't watched the whole vid but the three X's on the cup that Cup head pours into his head is Moonshine
The great depression (also the dust bowl) was in canada too. My dads dad lived during the dust bowl. (I think)
I think that the Bendy stuff has *_really_* rubbed off on you.
Both games are Cartoon related.
@@jonathank4278 so?
Why me?
The waffle lord that doesn’t mean it’s related to the animators in batim
@Byron Walker HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT WHILE I HAVE MY BENDY PLUSH?!?!!!!!???!?!?!!?!
0.50 You dont pay the contracts,he just checks for them.If you would,then the Devil wouldn't ask for the contracts at the end.
I love this theory ! it’s makes the game very interesting, I wonder what the sequel to the game will be like
That's an amazing theory! Great video!
Everytime if im bored i watch your vids and im not bored anymore thx mike
Love your theories keep it up!
Holy horror that's a plot twist
Your theorys are AWESOME.
i love how you say ''again'' XD
so amazing! your voice gets lost off the game! this theory of yours explains me the hidden story of cuphead! thank you
Your my favorite TH-camr, nice video ;)
MIKE THAT IS A REALLY AWESOME THEORY ! I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT ONE ! AMAZING JOB FOR DOING IT! YOUR THEORIES ARE INCREDIBLE MIKE LOVE YOUR THEORIES! AWESOME JOB!
I wish i had your voice because it always it fits the themes of the video and its a good voice for narrating
9:18 when SuperHorrorBro becomes Treesicle for 1 second
I did realize till 9:25.
Really good I do think that's right
Welcome to age of the Cartoons.
Great video. You earned a sub.
that's an interesting theory. i have been thinking about that too. thanks mike.
Outstanding! Fascinating! That is a pretty good theory!😮😀😃👍
This was so brilliant! Are you a university professor? You are so amazing!
Wow, what a great story but there’s one thing that haven’t been answered and it’s cuphead.exe. I want to know about that creepypassta, please. And also do undertale between creater and game, please.
This sounds super grim.
I think this story of real life back then makes it even MORE scarier. It's sad, and depressing.
Some people always find something creepy in all the cartoons and kid-friendly games
But what about the DLC. The new chapter! how could this be connected with the DLC. just wondering.
Ahhh finally early but 46 sec ＝134 views
I think youtube is not on crack?
Plot twist
The Animator worked at Joey Drew Studios
(Same time period)
Keep up the good work
What would the bad ending be?
Probably they pay the debt BUT return to the addiction and end up worse
There's one problem with this the animation industry was almost unaffected by the Great Depression
WHY HELLO PEOPLE OF THE COMMENTS
Why hello
Hi super horror bro nice channel
Yas! This is amazing!!!
*_Plot Twist: The Animator is actually Henry from BATiM_*
no
pac dank
Yes
@@someonewithanagisapfp4565 can't we just watch cuphead videos without mentioning bendy
Nate The Gr8 I cant wait for a better game based off of Max Fleischer dark and wacky cartoons that do the style better than what bendy tried to do. Bendy is basically a fnaf kind of trend at this point. The cartoon designs in bendy isn’t historically accurate either.
Nate The Gr8 HOLY-
Everyone knows This mans voice...
But few people know this man as a youtuber
Or he was just a creative artist
i love your vids
I've never seen this interpretation but I love it, I don't accept it as canon tho...but it has enough evidence that it could be canon!
1:16
*Treesicle has entered the chat*
I love this theory, I see how it works, I never thought of that.
Nice I was playing this game this morning
Brand new *Game theory*
Also Cupheads and his brothers guardian are old cattle, which might indicates that animator and his brother are orphans who grow up in their grandfathers country side. They father might died during WW1 as pilot, since we fight certain bosses in while piloting airplane, or animator served in WW1 as pilot himself. Another thing is one of the bosses is beutiful mermaid who after while transforms into monster. Which might indicated that brothers lost much of their fortune on womans, probbly prostitutes.
your voice + creepy videos = spoopy
AAYYYYYYY!!!!!! huge fan SHBMike
I like this theory! Very interesting...
I personally see this is sort of true if you look closely. Love the theories btw.
"And so the great depression has ended with the conclusion of the 1930s "
1940s as well as ww2 has entered the chat
When in 1930 great depression =😧, then when in 1940 world war 2 = 😨
my favorite video so far
Who else got notifications on ?
Hi love the vid
I understand now I love your videos
Bruh, I didn't know that you are so good playing the tutorial aka the hardest level in the game.
Man, this sound *REEAAALLLLLLYYYYY* simaller to ANOTHER animation game!
Bendy and the ink machine?
@@brigitavalant6828 Yup :3
This makes a lot of sense!
wow this theory is so good
Me: *Sees Cuphead Game*
Also Me: When I finish the Game: OH DANG BOI, THAT HAD SOME BA- Wait I didn't see any..
ME: *Sees this* NOW I DID SUCKER
Early video but nice
I love your videos
The new cupped show might confirm destroy this theory
Hmm wonder what superbro has in stored for us when de dlc comes out
I enjoyed this video.
It might be also reference to Fleischer brothers Max and Dave Fleischer because the style is like Fleischer studios and if your theory is right well they are cartoonist too
Also love your videos and your channel
The animator also probably named it inkwell isle since he hand drew most of it with ink and paper.
Yeash, I agree :V
Good job
I think it's cool how you made a theory about cuphead having a secret story but I don't think the game's creators exactly intended for it to have one or at least that's what I think I mean who knows maybe the game's creators did give it a secret story.
A long stretch that start with a simple piece of paper as a tutorial.
