German equivalent of "Bless you" (lit. "health").
A joke in which one character says an unusual name or a long, odd-sounding or uncommon word, and another character reacts by saying "Gesundheit" or "bless you," as though the first character just sneezed.
A common form of the joke is for the Idiot Hero or The Big Guy to start things off by using an incorrect term, only to reply "Gesundheit" when corrected by another character, as in the following hypothetical example:
In this form, the trope is used to illustrate the character's lack of intelligence: not only did he get the original word wrong, he failed to recognize the correct word when provided with it, mistaking it for nonsense (whether it actually sounds anything like a sneeze or not). It can also be used by a Cloudcuckoolander or someone so naive that they honestly don't recognize the word.
The trope is also employed more knowingly by Deadpan Snarkers in order to comment on odd and hard-to-pronounce names and words. In some cases they may intentionally set the gag up for themselves by making an error deliberately, counting on the other character to unwittingly play the Straight Man and correct them. In this form, it can overlap with Accidental Misnaming.
Compare Calling Me a Logarithm and Scary Science Words.

Under the Umbrella Tree:
In the episode "Hear! Hear!" one of the signs that Mrs. McMertree has become hard of hearing is that she says "Bless you" when Mrs. Higgins says "nasturtiums."
In the "hanky" song from the Sick Episode "Hanky Panky," Jacob pronounces the words "a tissue" as if they were a sneeze, with Iggy saying "Bless you" each time.

In the banned Bugs Bunny cartoon "All This And Rabbit Stew," Sambo (the black Elmer Fudd expy) says "Gesundheit" after Bugs emits a loud hiccup.
Played both straight and a gag in the cartoon "Early to Bet." The "Gesundheit" was a penalty the cat had to perform for losing to the dog at gin rummy. It involves bubble gum and pepper.

There's a moment in The Warlock in Spite of Himself where Rod Gallowglass is talking with a ghost who makes a reference to "the chamber with the strange device." Rod recognizes this as resembling a recurring line from a famous poem, and adds the word that always comes next in the poem: "Excelsior." The ghost, who apparently doesn't know the poem, replies, "Gesundheit."

Played with in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The character played by Dave Chappelle is actually named Achoo. His name is mistaken for a sneeze — Ahsneeze is his father — every time a character hears it for the first time, and one character follows up by thinking he's a Jew.

John Tartagalia's Imaginocean has two fish named Whipper and Snapper who are essentially the equivalent of Statler and Waldorf. When Snapper introduces the show as "John Tartaglia's Imaginocean", Whipper says "gesundheit" and they joke about wondering just who John Tartaglia is.

Jojo Rabbit: After Elsa tells Jojo to say out loud what she is, he says "a Jew" (sounding like he is sneezing). Elsa replies with a condescending "Gesundheit".note In the German dub, she says "Hallelujah" since the sneezing pun doesn't work — eine Jüdin (a female Jew) and hatschi (the German onomatopoeia for sneezing) don't sound anything alike.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In the episode "May the Best Pet Win", Rainbow Dash writes to Princess Celestia that she's learned the best quality to look for in a potential pet (or friend):
Also used earlier in the show when, after Rainbow Dash describes the race course and finishes with a Sting on Ghastly Gorge, a lonesome eagle cry echoes across the land...to which she zooms over to said eagle and invokes the trope.

Beetlejuice: Lydia's re-enactment of Moby-Dick for the Neitherworld's "Disasterpiece Theater" TV show starts off dubiously. Her first line, "Call me Ishmael," is greeted immediately with "Gesundheit!" being shouted by a stagehand.
Also happens in "Robbin Juice of Sherweird Forest" when Beetlejuice gets into a sword fight with the Sheriff of Rotting Ham. The sheriff says "Touché! Touché!" during the fight, and Beetlejuice responds with "Gesundheit."

In the Johan and Peewit book introducing The Smurfs, Peewit says "bless you" the first time they are mentioned. Note that "Smurf" is only their English name; they were originally "Les Schtroumpfs", which arguably sounds more like a sneeze than "Smurf" does.

Winnie the Pooh: The original book contains a dragged-out scene where Owl says they must "issue" a reward for Eeyore's tail, and Pooh replies "What did you say we should do with a reward? You sneezed just as you were about to tell me." They go back and forth on this several times.
The 2011 film has the same joke (see under Films: Animated).
The Russian version, and its animated adaptation, achieved the same joke by having Owl use various words that sound like sneezes. And to top it all off, in the animated version she really does have a sneezing fit by the end of the conversation.

From the 2011 Halloween event in Kingdom of Loathing: "A bat flies in through the window and lands on a sofa. There's a puff of smoke, and where the bat was sitting is a sorority girl vampire in a weirdly post-modern sexy Halloween costume. "N-n-n-nosferatu!" you stammer. "Um, like, bless you?" the vampire says, and leaps straight at your throat.
