    If you are presented with something familiar in an unfamiliar way there is the gap in understanding that leaves a feeling of funny unease. I’m sure there is name for the phenomenon. Take something like the backrooms. Even without any sort of monster shit it is a space that is thoroughly known by many people, the slight change in its presentation creates a feeling. This OP post is a similar thing. This person has heard the name Patrick star a million times in their life from one voice actor in one way. It has now been changed. Where a confused, unknown and unidentified feeling forms laughter often appears.

    It has little to do with the language and much to do with the presentation in an unexpected way.
