History Recap / TheCupheadShowS1E5RollTheDice

* EasierThanEasy: The tune and trivia rounds aren't so difficult, and the dice roll round allows the contestants to "win" no matter what number they get, all part of the trap to claim their souls. King Dice makes this even easier for the naive Cuphead, helping him through the first two rounds and even giving him a second chance. Eventually, the audience catches him in the act.

* IWarnedYou: The Devil warns King Dice that he ''hates'' disappointment. He is later summoned below after his show's first-ever loss, where the Devil expresses his ''utter disappointment''.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: King Dice's frustrated exclamation of "Roll! The! Dice!"

* LuredIntoATrap: The "winning" contestants of "Roll the Dice" are lured into entering a "prize room" where they get their souls sucked out by a devilish machine.

* NoodleIncident: When King Dice tells Cuphead that everyone in town can hear them talking, Cuphead blows a raspberry and says...

[[caption-width-right:350:Introducing today's latest victi-- *ahem* contestant: Cuphead!]]

After chasing after Elder Kettle's tire, Cuphead winds up on King Dice's radio show.

* GameShowGoofballs: Despite the challenges King Dice gives him being ridiculously easy, Cuphead fails only two of them (the first time, he guesses the first "Name That Tune" wrongly, and the second, when he rolls the dice so hard that they fall off and break into bits).

* LuredIntoATrap: The "winning" contestants of "Roll the Dice" are lured into entering a "Prize room" where they get their souls sucked out by a devilish machine.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Cuphead just happened to be chosen as the next contestant/victim of the game show whole chasing Elder Kettle's lucky tire. It took King Dice a moment to learn Cuphead is the Devil's target.

* IWarnedYou: The Devil wants King Dice how much he ''hates'' disappointment. He is later summoned below after his show's first-ever loss, where the Devil expresses his ''utter disappointment''.

* EpicFail: Just how bad is Cuphead at ''Roll the Dice''? He ends up '''''breaking''''' the dice in the titular final round by accident -- he spins them so hard that they fly off their mount, and then, somehow, explode. Even King Dice is shocked at how that's even possible.

* NoodleIncident: When King Dice tells Cuphead that everyone in town can hear them talking, Cuphead blows a raspberry and says "That's for you, Jimmy! And you know what for."

* HumiliationConga: Where to start with King Dice's BreakTheHaughty moments? Firstly, he was apparently embarrassed by Cuphead (like when he tells him he's ''significantly'' "shorter in person", causing the audience to laugh). Despite King Dice being completely confident he'd win the final round of his game show, Cuphead [[EpicFail loses as both of the dice he has to roll during part of the round (someway) detach and explode]]. This somehow ruins King Dice's [[BuffySpeak stache-like thingy]], which he seems proud of, though he might've not noticed this. He then [[BadLiar tries to lie to Cuphead that this is a good thing as it means he gets to go to "the mystery prize room" (where the contestant's soul would be sucked out). However, the audience doesn't believe it]] and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard it causes them to realize]] his game show is rigged, resulting in them jeering him and him losing his VillainWithGoodPublicity status. It also caused Cuphead to decide to leave. While King Dice tries to force him to go into the room, [[AmusingInjuries Elder Kettle's tire hits him plus it "helps" Cuphead (and, by extension, his brother Mugman) escape]]. Then he has to see his boss, the Devil, about his failure to get the cup's soul, although Dice told him with all the confidence in the world that he would get Cuphead's soul. When he arrives, the Devil reprimands him for losing and ignores his plea for a second chance. Despite King Dice getting on his knees, the Devil strips him of his title of TheDragon and removes him from being the host of "Roll the Dice". The individual who replaced him? [[AscendedFanboy Henchman]], the same demon King Dice was (kinda) rude to.

* AscendedFanboy: At the end of the episode, Henchman replaces King Dice as the new host of "Roll the Dice".

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Cuphead cheerfuly exclaims that King Dice is "way shorter in person".

* VillainousBreakdown: King Dice grows increasingly impatient and desperate at Cuphead's inability to win the game.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Elder Kettle reacts furiously when he hears Cuphead's idiotic answer of "Sprinkle, Sprinkle, Mr. Car" instead of guessing ''Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'', and berates him for it when he returns home.

-->'''Elder Kettle:''' It's ''Twinkle, Twinkle, Little'' '''''STAAAAAR!!!'''''

-->'''Cuphead:''' My name's Cuphead! I like roller coasters, and hotdogs, and twist-a-whirl, and hotdogs, and flying swings, and hotdogs, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick throwing up on roller coasters in that order]]!
