Cuphead is a run-and-gun video game released in 2017, known for its hand-drawn animation inspired by 1930s cartoons and its challenging boss battles. Short announcer-style lines from the game have become popular outside gameplay because they are instantly recognisable and easy to drop into edits. This brief cue works especially well online, where creators need a fast, clear signal that something is about to begin. Its old-fashioned cartoon delivery also gives modern short videos a playful, nostalgic feel, which helps explain why it keeps appearing in challenges, races and reaction clips.
