Back to our beloved Cuphead Show! As much as we love it,
there are some characters who fall a bit flat... So which of these Cuphead cast
members throughout all three seasons totally deserve to have their souls eaten by the Devil?
I’m Kyle with WickedBinge and these are the worst Cuphead Show characters and why they suck.
A quick disclaimer: We are incorporating some fan opinions, but remember, at the end of the day,
this is all subjective. If you like any of these characters, don’t let us sway you!
With that said, let’s go into our ranking and begin!
As usual, we’ll be starting with the least hated characters and
working our way down to our number one most hated.
Starting off this list, we have Bulbface.
Bulbface only appeared in one episode, “Another Brother,” when Cuphead and Mugman had an argument
and decided to find different brothers. Mugman decided to have this character Bulbface as
his brother. Like Mugman, Bulbface is concerned with safety but pushes it to
the extreme. He’s the complete opposite of Bowlboy, who we’ll get to in a little bit.
Fans absolutely hate Bulbface because of his obsession with safety. He won’t
even play Checkers without a helmet on. So why is he at the bottom of the list? Well,
we understand why he is so hated, but we can only rank him at the bottom for a couple reasons. He
is a lightbulb and afraid of being broken, so it’s kind of understandable. Plus, we don’t know
much about his character. He's purely a one-off character that we hope we don’t ever see again.
Next up are the bosses of the orphanage, Head Penguin and the Penguins.
In Ms. Chalice’s origin story “Dance with Danger,” these king penguins ran
the orphanage like dictators. This is the orphanage that she grew up in. They abused
the orphans with hard work and severe punishment when they slacked off. The leader in particular,
hated any kind of fun and severely punished Chalice for dancing while working.
We’re putting them on the list since, in this day and age, they would be arrested. However,
we can’t rank them any higher since they were a part of Chalice’s backstory and
we don’t know much about their personality. We’re just glad
that Chalice was able to escape them and we never have to see them again.
Next up, we have the pianist, Ludwig.
Ludwig was originally an NPC in the Cuphead Game, but became a character in the Cuphead
Show. Unfortunately, he was a total jerk in the show and he definitely deserves the hate. He was
a talented pianist who helped fulfill Mugman’s dream of becoming a famous pianist. After Cuphead
was shown to be the better pianist, however, he completely dismissed Mugman in favor of Cuphead.
Mugman tried to prove that he can be as good as Cuphead, but ultimately failed
to sway him. We’re giving him a spot on our list because he stole Cuphead’s song,
played it for a theater audience and took credit for it. While it’s unknown whether
he survived being crushed by a piano, we can say that it was definitely karma for him.
Next up will be the unnerving Bowlboy.
Originally a gag character for the show, he got some time to shine in
the episode “Another Brother,” and boy was he creepy! He wanted to be exactly like Cuphead,
even saying that he wanted to BE Cuphead. He attempted some of Cuphead’s dangerous stunts,
but pushed the dangers to the limit, not showing much concern for either boy’s safety.
He is definitely hated for his creepiness and recklessness. He doesn't rank any higher, however,
because the stunts he did weren't too out of line and didn’t endanger anyone other than himself. We
just don’t want him as our doctor anytime soon.
In fourth place, we have the mean vegetables, The Root Pack.
We see them in the one episode “Root Packed,” and we’re glad not to have seen them again.
Consisting of Sally the Spud, Ollie the Onion and Chauncey the Carrot, these three are definitely
hated among fans and we understand why. Sally is the leader of the group and the smartest of them,
Ollie is essentially the crybaby of the group, and Chauncey is the musical carrot.
They first appear while eating Elder Kettle’s soil, making up a sob story to con the boys.
They convince the boys to leave them in charge of Elder Kettle’s garden,
throwing a massive party without delay and showing complete disregard for the garden.
After Cuphead and Mugman foil the party, The Root Pack retaliates by sucking
up all the water from Elder Kettle’s garden, killing it off in the process.
They were pretty nasty to the boys, but at least they didn’t endanger their lives. They just wanted
to party, even though it was damaging property. Which is why we can’t rank them any higher.
Our Bronze Medal of the worst Cuphead Show character is going
to the titular character himself, Cuphead.
Now, we understand that Cuphead is one of the main characters and is a good person all around,
however, he earns the bronze medal of the worst Cuphead Show characters for a few reasons. Unlike
his brother Mugman, Cuphead is reckless, dimwitted, and makes bad decisions most of
the time. He was the one that took Mugman with him to the Devil's carnival in the first episode
“Carn-evil.” In the episode “Piano Lessons,” he brushed off Mugman’s feelings about being a top
level pianist. In another episode “The Devil’s Pitchfork,” Cuphead played with the pitchfork and
refused to give it back, so the Devil retaliated by kidnapping Mugman and taking him to Hell.
His worst episode in the series is “Lost in the Woods,” where he blew up everyone’s wood
and tools with fireworks. While the boys separated and got lost because of Cuphead,
he stole Mugman’s house. The house was destroyed when Mugman, in retaliation,
decided to launch it with Cuphead inside. When they got home, Cuphead showed no remorse for
what he did and proceeded to launch Mugman into the sky with a firework. This episode
is considered to be the most hated of Season Two because it shows Cuphead at his absolute worst.
Overall, while Cuphead was really hated for this episode and a few others,
he gets the bronze medal since he’s still a good kid at heart,
he just needs to learn how to keep his troublemaking under control.
Our Silver Medal of the worst Cuphead Show character is going to Stickler.
Stickler started out as a simple working demon that took his job very seriously. He
exposed the Devil’s transgressions and refused to withdraw until he finished the job. However,
as the seasons went on, he became more hated by the fans because of his complete lack of sympathy.
Since he has the invisible sweater to keep him from being slain by the Devil,
Stickler can force him to work whether the Devil likes it or not. Holding him to the job,
Stickler has kept the Devil from his fun–things that would make him happy.
Stickler doesn’t care about anything except his work and continually attempts to outmaneuver the
Devil. Hence, he gets the silver medal, but if you’ve been watching the Cuphead
Show since it first dropped, then you should know who our gold medalist is.
Finally, our Gold Medal of the most hated character in the Cuphead Show is Baby Bottle.
There is no doubt that he is the most hated character in the Cuphead Show.
In the titular episode “Baby Bottle,” he was a total troublemaker with no
problem attacking anybody that calls him a bad baby. He completely destroyed Elder
Kettle’s house and his radio and was even able to rip off Elder Kettle’s mustache.
He made one other appearance off-screen in the episode “Don’t Answer the Door,”
whereupon Cuphead and Mugman spent the whole episode searching for Baby Bottle
when they believed he got eaten by a bear. After revealing it was actually
a prank by Elder Kettle, Baby Bottle actually returns and beats up the bear.
What makes Baby Bottle so hated and wins him the gold medal is that he feels like such an
unnecessary character. For instance, his only purpose is to unnecessarily beat up characters
and trash their houses when they are trying to help him. He thus deserves to win the gold
medal of the worst and most hated character in the Cuphead Show. If he was a part of our
sentencing video for the Cuphead Show, he would be sentenced to be in a crib, inside prison.
