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).

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.

That’s a great name for a cheese shop!

I have a silly dream about a rogue Catholic priest holding mass using cheese instead of bread, and after the transubstantiation, declaring: “Cheese is Christ”

I had to know if Bob's Burgers reused that pun because it would fit so well in there. They got close!

Plausible, yes. Most of my cohort are fans of the late Humph & the gang. Barry Cryer, of course, wrote for a lot of other comedians so gags often originate from or propagate via him

> Blessed are the cheesemakers

Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
