    Man, I speak French and hearing kids say “Bob L’éponge” still sounds weird as fuck growing up with SpongeBob.

        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.

          Exactly. It’s not even a problem, like I’m not gonna attempt to correct what doesn’t need correcting, it’s just momentarily jarring, like when I was in Germany and saw them spelling Canada with a ‘K’.
