| Another example: 'baby cheeses' as a mondegreen[0] of 'baby Jesus'. * Modern Family, 2010: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXedC4qdkgo * Kath and Kim, 2002: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HrKqbuaMxw [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen |

| I'm fairly sure I heard a version of this pre-2000 about someone opening a cheese shop called "Cheeses of Nazareth" :) Sadly it was verbal so I don't know the exact provenance, but I'd bet it was abstracted from a British comedy show (possibly radio). |

| ▲ | jdsnape 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I think it's probably from "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue". I think the game was Film Club, there they have to suggest films that would appeal to a certain demographic. The demographic was "Cheese Makers", and the answers were "Cheeses of Nazareth", then others like "Fromage to Eternity", "The Rock Fort" etc. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/I%27m_Sorry_I_Haven%27t_a_Clue | | |

| I had to know if Bob's Burgers reused that pun because it would fit so well in there. They got close! https://thebobsburgerexperiment.com/post/107179866987/cheese... |
