Humorous Cheese is an invention of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's in the "Muppet Labs" sketch in "Fozzie's Story," the second issue of The Muppet Show Comic Book. Dr. Honeydew takes an ordinary piece of cheese (albeit highly aged and processed from cows with a greater than average sense of humor) and, with a jolt of electricity, awakens its higher synaptic processes. But while the Humorous Cheese starts off life by immediately showcasing his cheesy humor, he soon grows violent, attacking Honeydew and Beaker when they don't show a taste for audience participation.
