There are hundreds of varieties of cheese in real life, in several distinct "cheese families." (Not bad for what is, bluntly put, spoiled (and sometimes moldy) milk.) However, regardless of anything else, almost all cartoon cheese has three main traits, plus an occasional fourth: Cheese which is not this strange amalgam of traits (well, at least the first three) is almost never present. The most likely trait to get skipped is the "stinky" part. Orange-yellow cheese that's full of holes is still everywhere. Commonly seen as part of a Level Ate. Also see Blessed Are the Cheesemakers.

  • There are hundreds of varieties of cheese in real life, in several distinct "cheese families." (Not bad for what is, bluntly put, spoiled (and sometimes moldy) milk.) However, regardless of anything else, almost all cartoon cheese has three main traits, plus an occasional fourth: 1. * It's orange or yellow, like Wisconsin Cheddar. (And that cheddar isn't even that color naturally. The yellow color comes from annatto, a dye.) 2. * It's full of holes, like Swiss. 3. * It almost always comes in "wedge" form, as if it were cut from a cheese wheel, like Gouda, and not in block or cube form, like Havarti. Occasionally, the full wheel may be shown. 4. * Less commonly, it smells bad, like Limburger. Cheese which is not this strange amalgam of traits (well, at least the first three) is almost never present. The most likely trait to get skipped is the "stinky" part. Orange-yellow cheese that's full of holes is still everywhere. Of course, in addition to Swiss and Limburger just being funny, there's a practical reason behind this trope as well, which is based on the Rule of Perception. In a cartoon, a large, nondescript block of something yellow or white could be just about anything. A bar of gold? Butter? Lard? A white brick? Giving cheese these distinct traits helps identify to the audience that "Yes! This is cheese you're looking at." Of course, this works best if you don't name the cheese in question. Commonly seen as part of a Level Ate. Also see Blessed Are the Cheesemakers. Examples of Cartoon Cheese include:
