About the Cuphead Flower Meme

A four-panel meme template from the 2017 video game Cuphead. Top-right: Cagney Carnation in her full boss form, screaming with her mouth wide open and petals flared into spikes. Bottom-right: the same flower in her cute, smiling, non-threatening form. Left panels are blank white text space. The contrast between the two forms is the entire template.

Cagney Carnation is a boss in the 2017 video game Cuphead, developed by Studio MDHR. Her design mimics 1930s Fleischer Studios rubber-hose animation: adorably friendly at first glance, terrifyingly aggressive when her true form is revealed. The meme format uses her two states as a before-and-after or innocent-versus-real comparison. Top-right is the terrifying reality; bottom-right is the deceptive cute face. For another innocent-versus-terrifying comparison, see Shrek for Five Minutes. For more game-origin formats, see Distracted Boyfriend.

How to Make a Cuphead Flower Meme

The Cuphead four-panel template is loaded with Cagney Carnation in both her adorable and her terrifying form
Top text labels the cute-looking version in the top-right panel. This is the thing that seems harmless, inviting, or innocent
Bottom text labels the screaming boss form in the bottom-right panel. This is the thing after you commit to it
The left panels are blank text space. The right panels are the images. Your text works as a label for each Carnation state
Export and use any time something presents itself as one thing and then turns into something significantly more demanding
