* BrickJoke: Crawdads and lobsters are mentioned throughout the episode, with Cuphead gathering and eating them from the start. He later has lobster with Ludwig that Mugman wanted. In the end, when he compares crawdads to be just "tiny lobsters", a ''giant'' crawdad appears to express how he took offense to the notion.
-->'''Giant Crawdad''': Hey! Who are you callin' "tiny", punk?



* LaserGuidedKarma: It is revealed that Ludwig decided to copy Cuphead's song and win the recital prize for himself. He wins, but is crushed by a piano Mugman strung up in case Cuphead played instead.

Added DiffLines:

* RedLiveLobster: The crawdads Cuphead is eating are not alive, but it's implied they are freshly caught and raw, yet they are bright red, and so is the giant living anthropomorphic crawdad that shows up at the end of the episode.

Added DiffLines:

* NoodleIncident: When Mugman grabs Elder Kettle's hedge trimmers with the intention of cutting off Cuphead's hands so he can't play at the recital, Elder Kettle reprimands him with "What have I told you about using my hedge trimmers to mutilate your brother?", which indicates that this isn't the first time this has happened.

Just adding some tropes where they seemed appropriate.

Added DiffLines:

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Mugman has presumably been getting lessons from Ludwig on a regular basis but isn't very good at piano. Cuphead, on the other hand, plays incredibly well on his first try.


Added DiffLines:

* StunnedSilence: As shown above, Ludvig, Mugman, and Elder Kettle are all left in awe when Cuphead shows how good he is at the piano.
