* After Netflix Geeked [[https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1498343995411476491 released a video]] in which Tru Valentino and Frank Todaro (attempt to) play the punishingly hard game in-character, one part became particularly infamous -- while Frank as Mugman expresses a reluctant sympathy for Ollie the onion, Tru as Cuphead bawls "CRY ALL YA WANT, YA CRYBABY!" It quickly became used to illustrate [[RedOniBlueOni the difference between the two, and the two types of people in general]].

It is also a popular response for people who spoil plot points, much like the scene it is from.[[/labelnote]]
