== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
 
== Anime ==
* ''[[Doraemon]]'' has conveniently held this kind of cheese. This trope is international. This is most likely due to American (especially Disney) influence in early anime.
 
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
* ''[[Mortadelo Y Filemon]]'' has a painful aversion: An elderly woman mistakes a bar of soap for a piece of cheese that looks just like the soap (rectangular, not like a wedge) and gives it to [[Butt Monkey|Filemón]], who unknowingly eats it...
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', Gonzo auditions with Yolanda, the dancing cheese. Gonzo just clicks his heels a bit, and the cheese does the fancy steps. Wedge of circular round? Check. Yellow? [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/File:Yolandathedancingcheese.jpg Partial check].
* An episode of ''[[Family Matters]]'' had Urkel create a ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' style video game with one character based on himself. One attack the character had was to yell "Have some CHEESE!" while throwing Cartoon Cheese at the opponent.
 
== [[New Media]] ==
 
== New Media ==
* The [http://www.pixeljam.com Pixeljam] online game Rat Race and Rat Race 2 both plays it straight and averts this, every single piece of cheese is uniquely shaped and colored, but there are a few suspiciously yellow, holey looking ones.
* At one point, [http://moon.google.com Google Moon] (a map of the Moon with all the Apollo landing sites marked), if you zoomed all the way in, would change the background to green holey cheese.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
 
== Sports ==
* Green Bay Packer fans wear cheeseheads which are wedge-shaped, yellow like Cheddar, and holey like Swiss.
 
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* Emmenthaler is probably the closest thing to Cartoon Cheese in real life. It's the Swiss cheese after which so-called "Swiss cheese" is named, it comes in wheels, and it's full of holes. It's not as bright a shade of yellow as in cartoons, however, and has a pretty mild taste & smell.
* In Sweden, this type of cheese (1 (yellow), 2, and 3 together) is a very common type.
 
 
== Video Games ==
* The Stinky Cheese Wedge in ''[[Banjo Tooie]]'' is exactly what it sounds like: A giant piece of cheese, yellow and full of holes. It serves as [[Level Ate|part of the level.]]
* One ''[[Mario Kart]]'' racetrack is composed of nothing ''but'' this sort of cheese. ''Even the ground!''
Line 66 ⟶ 53:
* In ''[[Dungeons of Dredmor]]'', at first you might think, looking at the wide variety of cheeses available in the dungeons (havarti, brie, blue, gouda, smoked applewood cheddar, parmigiano reggiano...), that this trope is [[Averted]]. Nope! Amongst all the different kinds of unique cheeses, there is one cheese known simply as "Cheese". It's yellow-orange and wedge-shaped, with holes in it.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120512010717/http://hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2006-08-04 Concerned #178]: Frohman holds an orange item that he believes is "a delicious wedge of Bournes Pasturized (sic) Organic Chesire (sic) Cheese!" It's not really a wedge nor does it have holes because the artist only had so many 3D items to work with in his sandbox, and he chose {{spoiler|a human clavicle bone}}. The thing turns out to not even be cheese, but shades of the trope are quite present.
* [[Karate Bears]] love [http://www.karatebears.com/2011/12/cheese-it.html cartoony looking cheese]
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Quite possibly the default in ''[[Tom and Jerry]].''
* ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' is perhaps noteworthy in that it mentions ''varieties'' of cheese (other than the old standbys) rather than generically calling it "cheese" and leaving it at that (thanks in part to having a character [Monterey Jack] whose [[Weaksauce Weakness]] is cheese). Monty even has a favorite cheese: Brie '86 (even though the pilot movie "To The Rescue," reveals that Monty doesn't really have a favorite kind of cheese, as any kind will send him into that cheese attack trance).
Line 99 ⟶ 89:
* ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'' once built the Cheese-Ray (which kept being brought up through the series) which turned items into yellow hole-filled cheese.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
 
* Emmenthaler is probably the closest thing to Cartoon Cheese in real life. It's the Swiss cheese after which so-called "Swiss cheese" is named, it comes in wheels, and it's full of holes. It's not as bright a shade of yellow as in cartoons, however, and has a pretty mild taste & smell.
