Do you like to eat parrots and keys? Oops! Seems we just made an example of a Spoonerism using "carrots and peas"! Spoonerisms — named for the Rev. William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), an Oxford don who actually claimed to have only made one spoonerism in his life (calling a hymn "The Kinkering Congs Their Titles Take", instead of "The Conquering Kings Their Titles Take"). While the word sounds like something derived from Latin, it's actually a made-up word. At its simplest, it's simply mixing up the first letter or sound of two words, so that Ilarity Hensues. It's meanerally gent to appear accidental, either as a result of falking too tast, or moo many tartinis. It can also, as in that last example, involve mixing up sounds from the middles or ends of words. (This is also known as Kniferism and Forkerism.) It can also involve more than two words, thut bat's amfully awbitious true tie. Extra points if the spoonerism still makes sense, just not the sense you would want to make. Spoonerisms can also be used by cunning writers as a form of Petting Rap Cast the Gaydar, especially when it comes to Mountry Catters. A common involuntary consequence of misspoken Twunge Tisters. Can also be the result of a Non Sequitur, *Thud* Characters who speak entirely in these are likely to become Terbal Vicked. See also Malaproper. When you do this on a larger scale with whole words within a sentence, it often results in a Russian Reversal. Cockney Rhyming Slang is a similar technique. Has nothing to do with Funny Spoon. |

Metallica pranked their fans by naming their first live DVD Cunning Stunts, with the expectation that people would goof it up. Before Metallica did it, Cows and Caravan both had albums called Cunning Stunts. It is kind of an old joke in general though. | |

Linus Tech Tips: In the first part of "This Seems Rushed... - GeForce RTX [2000 Series] Review", Linus calls Nvidia's launch approach "bass ackwards" for releasing the ray tracing hardware before many games support it. The Couch Gag also says "Tray Racing: Cafeteria Edition". In "This $5000 Graphics Card Can't Game", Linus Sebastian realizes that GPU-Z does not recognize the Nvidia cryptocurrency mining card. In response, he submits a validation report under the name "Sinus Lebastian" The Techquickie episode from June 8, 2022 has Linus say refer to Quick Bits as "Bick Quits". |

Gruntan Kurdly, villainous barbarian warlord of the Redwall installment Eulalia, slips up when trying to say "give 'em blood and thunder". When someone calls him on it, he declares that he meant to do it because "thud and blunder" sounds better, and threatens his followers into agreeing. In an earlier book, Rollo the baby bankvole picks up garbled versions of Basil and Ambrose's drinking songs, and starts singing about fighting a flagon and drinking a dragon. |

In Soul Eater, the names of the witches Eruka and Mizune are spoonerisms of the Japanese words for their theme animals: kaeru (frog) and nezumi (mouse). In this case it's more of a Sdrawkcab Name, since Japanese is written in syllables rather than letters. | |

The "Drear Pooson" incident on The Jack Benny Program. Early in the episode Don Wilson mistakenly refers to newspaper columnist Drew Pearson as "Drear Pooson", elicting lots of laughter. The quick-thinking writers made a last-minute change to one of Frank Nelson's lines: as a hotel doorman, when asked if he was indeed the doorman, he was originally going to reply "Who do you think I am, Nelson Eddy?", but instead he made a Brick Joke out of Wilson's blooper by replying "Who do you think I am, Drear Pooson?". The resulting laughter broke the record previously set by "Your money or your life?" "I'm thinking it over!" | |

She knows how to defeat the witch, but even the Frog Prince isn't able to understand her when she says to "bake the hall in the candle of her brain" until the climax of the film where he finally figures out that she means "Break the ball in the handle of her cane." | |

A very rude example in the Helluva Boss episode "Exes and Oohs": Moxxie calls out his father for suddenly acting like he likes Chaz when he previously called him a "friendless horse-fucker". Soon after, Blitzo refers to Chaz as a "horseless friend-fucker" — which is weirdly appropriate coming from Blitzo, who loves horses and who's impressed by the fact that Chaz has dated both of his friends Moxxie and Millie (but still doesn't like him). | |

The Brady Bunch: A Season 1 episode, "Is There a Doctor In the House," has Carol frantically trying to explain to Mike a mixup with two family doctors who separately had made house calls for their children, Peter and Jan, and in the process gets tongue-tied and mixes up Peter's name with the name of the boys' doctor, Dr. Porter. note (Robert Reed, who played Mike, was likely holding it in as he was taping this scene; he was known to hate the show's script writing and was especially critical of writing techniques such as Spoonerisms, which he rarely if ever found funny. According to multiple reports by both co-star Barry Williams and series co-producer Lloyd Schwartz, was already sending meticulous memorandums to Paramount Studios and ABC criticizing the show's writing and direction.) | |

In the Futurama episode "Benderama", Morbo gives us this line after the mini-Benders turn the Earth's water into booze: "...and everyone's titty much protally fit-shased." American syndicated broadcasts changed this line to, "...and everyone's pretty much scrotally tewed." | |

For each level in Runner 3, Charles Martinet reads off the name before you enter. Some levels have a random chance that he'll have an alternate reading of it, most of which are spoonerisms (level 1-2, "A Briny Solicitation", is sometimes read as "A Sriny Bolicitation"). One level, "Parallel Peril", is sometimes even followed by a slight pause and "Spoonerize THAT!". | |

From the song "Washington on Your Side" from Hamilton: According to Min-Lanuel Liranda, spoonerisms are a favorite joke of his (regardless of how funny other people find them), and when he realized that "fits of passion" and "pits of fashion" both worked in the English language, he worked backwards to find a place in Hamilton to put them, resulting in the above line. |

Homestar Runner has made spoonerisms something of a Running Gag, to the point that the Homestar Runner Wiki has an article all about this trope in action. To name a few examples: In the Strong Bad Email "privileges", a list of the new privileges that come with The Cheat becoming a Medallion Gold Plus member in Strong Bad's rewards program includes both "Strong Bad Math" and "Strong Mad Bath". One segment of the email "technology" has Strong Bad talking about cellular telephones, or "tellular celephones" as he calls them. In "Marzipan's Answering Machine 16.2", the King of Town uses the flimsy alias "Ting of Kown" while planning a prank on Strong Sad. In the email "too cool", Strong Bad says he knows Senor Cardgage has a character video because "I filmed the thang ding! I mean, dang thing." In "The Homestar Runner Enters the Spooky Woods", Strong Bad subverts the usual intro of "Everyone loves the Homestar Runner, he is a terrific athelete," by calling The Homestar Runner an "athletic teriffe". |
