An exploitable catchphrase from a 1980s Polly-O String Cheese ad—kids order pizza with only cheese, Fred yells "Gimme a cheese with nothin'!"—resurging via TikTok reanimations since 2023.

More about this meme

Gimme A Cheese With Nothin' is a catchphrase meme from a 1980s Polly-O String Cheese commercial where three kids ask pizzeria counterman Fred for pizza with extra cheese but no sauce or crust; Fred relays "Gimme a cheese with nothin'!" to chef Jimmy, who replies, "Nothin'!?" The spot circulated on YouTube since 2008 and exploded as an exploitable in 2023–2025.

Fugly Productions' Five Nights at Freddy's reanimation (503,000 views) and @catinoworld's cat version (1.7M TikTok views) set the template; 2025 Wordle and "cheese with everything" edits kept the format in rotation. Know Your Meme confirmed the entry, grouping it with animation-meme cousins where users swap dialogue while preserving Fred and Jimmy's disbelief.
