What is the 'Cheese' thing all about?

To be Cheesy or not to be Cheesy? That is the question.

TAKE THE QUIZ TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE CHEESY

THE 'ARE YOU CHEESY' QUIZ:

1. Do you enjoy slap-stick comedy? (Mr. Bean for example.)

2. Do you like extremely silly and over the top movies that try *too* hard to make you laugh? (Dumb & Dumber, The Naked Gun, Robin Hood Men in Tights)

3. Would you laugh at a 1990's TV commercials with Mr. T rapping about the importance of staying clean while his 5000 gold chains swing gloriously around his neck?

4. Is Leslie Nielsen funny to you?

5. Do you enjoy the comedic genius of Monty Python?

6. Do you know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

7. Are video games from the 80's & 90's that include FMV (full motion video) and terrible voice acting equivalent to a pot of gold?

8. Would you say that you enjoy things labeled as "So bad that it's good"?

9. Do you find yourself in the Dairy section of the grocery store quite often?

10. Some video games try too hard to be serious and end up coming across as corny, cliché or too 'on the nose', do you smile on the inside when this happens?

11. Do you like Dad jokes?

12. Do low budget movies and video games make you facepalm but also you can't stop watching/playing because it's absolutely amazing?

13. Are you an open minded individual?

14. Do physics glitches in video games make you smile?

15. Finally, watch this video and report back: https://youtu.be/F3UGk9QhoIw -Were you at least smiling by the 1 minute mark?

If you answered YES to at least 12 of these questions you are extremely cheesy. Congratulations!

If you answered YES to at least 6 of these questions, you are on your way to becoming cheesy. Yay!

If you answered NO to 12 or more of these questions, then you are not cheesy. That's okay though, you're still awesome!

An almost correct Cheesy Definition...

source: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cheesy

Trying too hard, unsubtle, and inauthentic. Specifically, that which is unsubtle or inauthentic in its way of trying to elicit a certain response from a viewer, listener, audience, etc. Celine Dion is cheesy because her lyrics, timbre, key changes, and swelling orchestral accompaniment telegraph 'i want you to be moved' instead of moving you. Gold chains on an exposed hairy chest are cheesy because they shout out: "I have money and I am manly" instead of impressing a woman in a more subtle way or allowing a woman to form her own judgments. The excessive showing off suggests he's compensating for what he does not have--i.e., he's actually poor, insecure, or short with an inferiority complex. Cliches are often cheesy because they are an obvious and artless way of making a point. A movie might be cheesy if it contains 'on the nose' dialogue, like "I can't live without you" or "You had me at hello." Cheesiness is subjective. What seems cheesy to me, may be a legitimate and attractive hairstyle to you. What seems cheesy to me, may cause you to weep and hug your girlfriend tight.
