#1. Roll The Dice (S1, E5) [10/10] ⭐️

King Dice is my favorite Cuphead character & this episode (+ Wayne Brady) did him justice!

Every joke lands, it’s fun in a way that puts a smile on my face, & it’s my favorite Cuphead S1 episode!

(I wrote this for 2 hours, I’m not elaborating, sorry.)

The Elder Kettle gags in this episode were quite funny, even if, overall, the episode’s humor is not the strong point imo.

I love how, Chalice knowing Cuphead & Mugman were trying to steal cookies, led them into a cookie factory as a was-meant-to-be-act of kindness, that’s kinda sweet!

#2. In Charm’s Way (S1, E12) [10/10] ⭐️

The season 1 finale that introduces us to Ms. Chalice, and I love her, her amazing performance & the incredible song “Turning Up The Charm”, my favorite song from season 1!

Chalice was a mysterious character at this point & it’s really intriguing!

Cuphead split his plate with Mugman, but hoarded all the syrup, Cuphead throughout the series is inherently selfish but caring deep down (that awful Lost in the Woods episode doesn’t count).

The chase climax is also amazing! I love the photo gag (better than the entire Say Cheese episode.)

#3. Carn-Evil (S1, E1) [10/10] ⭐️

One of my favorite cartoon pilot episodes ever, what a smile on my face every watch!

I adore so much here: Elder Kettle getting hit by the paint, the cut mid Mugman’s sentence into the bros enjoying the park, the insanely incredible Devil song, etc!

I love the voice performance for the male British insect-brained ghost especially, I adored that Snow White reference now that I’ve seen the episode post-watching that movie, honestly the episode would be perfect to me if it wasn’t for one thing.

Despite the theme, this episode isn’t scary.

#4. Ghosts Ain’t Real [10/10] ⭐️

I used to subconsciously believe that the musical number was most of this episode, but then I rewatched it and realized that it’s not. While I love the song here, I am happy that more stuff happens in this episode because it’s really funny!

Before re-binging season 1 for this ranking, I used to dislike Ribby & Croaks’s musical number, but now? It’s not great or anything, but it’s pretty decent, I like it enough now.

That basically removes what was my only problem with the entire episode used to be, amazing stuff!

#5. Ribby & Croaks [10/10] ⭐️

Yeah, my entire top 5 on this list are 10/10s, the most 10/10s of any of my ranking threads yet! (Even my Expedition 33 Act 2 boss ranking only had 3!)

This episode is a masterpiece, the brothers arguing in this episode (unlike some others) is actually funny!

#6. Handle W/ Care (S1, E4) [9/10]

Learning about the bodily dynamics of this cup brother species is actually quite interesting and it’s really clever to make an episode about them being cups!

The ways Cuphead tries to reattached Mugman’s handle are creative, the honey especially!

🧵14/30
November 15, 2025 at 5:29 AM
#7. Sweater Off Dead (S1, E8) & Sweater Luck Next Time (S1, E9) [A tie, both 9/10s]

This 2-parter revolves around what goes on to become a bigger plot across the show in seasons 2&3: the Devil trying to steal Cuphead’s soul.

Both of these episodes are so equally good I’m tie-ing them!

#9. Dangerous Mugman (S1, E10) [9/10]

Love the live-action background jungle set during a montage & I love seeing the usual characteristics of the brothers get played around with like this!

The “goggles inside me” joke sucks, but funny episode otherwise, especially Porkrind’s grouchiness.

🧵11/30
November 15, 2025 at 5:29 AM
#10. Root Packed! (S1, E7) [7.5/10]

This episode’s humor ranges from “not cringy but just comedic white noise” (like the Eggplant guard) to funny.

My favorite member of The Root Pack (both in-game & in-show) is the onion.

The episode is funny!

I love the gag of the bros fighting, briefly stopping to avoid the radio, then keep fighting, that makes me laugh every time!

And what the baby does to Mugman’s childhood teddy is likely one of my favorite jokes in the show.

Not a great episode, but a good one imo!

#11. Baby Bottle (S1, E2) [7/10]

I know people hate this episode, and despite personally liking it, I 100% get why.

It’s a very cliched plot for cartoon episodes, “the main characters take in a baby, struggle as parents, the baby turns out to be evil”, and this plot is basically that.

The only thing that could’ve (not entirely) saved it is a happy ending.

Instead, when Elder Kettle realizes the misunderstanding, Cuphead & Mugman hug him & tell him they love him despite him just trying to kill them, then he actually gets spiked & the brothers decide to actually bury him..

#12. Dirt Nap (S1, E11) [2/10]

Positives first: It has the same amazing visuals as every Cuphead episode & the joke when Cuphead “says a few words” for the buried worm was pretty funny.

Otherwise, I despise watching Elder Kettle get an anxiety attack to the point of trying to kill his kids.

In this thread, I’m going to rank all 12 episodes of Season 1 of one of my top 10 all-time favorite cartoons, The Cuphead Show, from WORST to BEST!

A very positive ranking, minus only one episode I hate..

As someone who ALWAYS HATED this movie since first watching it in theaters for being Disney’s Emoji Movie, I often see people neutral or positive on it initially but then grow to hate it over time.

I’m curious, is that not hypocritical against Sony to just give Disney a pass at first?

If there’s one very tiny flaw with this boss, the first phase is a bit harder than the second one, phase 1 is chaotic with how much there is to dodge, and phase 2, while hard, is no where near as chaotic to me.

The transition into phase 2 is amongst favorite-animated n the game, though!

The song for this fight is one of my favorites of the Cuphead OST. It’s one of the more unique Cuphead songs due to some of the instruments used, and it’s one of the catchiest Cuphead songs!

Every single attach is insanely fluidly-animated and a lot of fun when you successfully dodge them.

#1. Cagney Carnation [10/10] ⭐️

It wasn’t even close, not only my favorite Cuphead boss of Inkwell Isle 1 but my favorite Cuphead boss of the entire base game & one of my top 5 favorite bosses in all of video games. Up there with Koloktos, Renoir #2 & two Cuphead DLC bosses..

The music & background of this boss are also 10/10!

One of my favorite songs & likely my actual favorite boss fight background of all Cuphead. Love the details of this boat, and the character put into what are basically background flies.

Seeing Ribby & Croaks swallow each other and turn into a massive slot machine, and then needing to parry the handle to see which of three attacks you get, is super creative and I love it!

I’m actually pretty good at this fight now, but I used to suck at the tiger-represented attack..

#2. Ribby & Croaks [10/10] ⭐️

The top 2 on this ranking were very easy for me, as both of them are among my top 20 favorite boss fights in all of gaming.

Every single aspect of this fight is a positive to me! Every animation is fluid and vibrant & every attack is incredibly fun to dodge!
