| − | *Since Joss Whedon has come out to say that the Cheese Man has no deeper meaning, fans have come up with their own interpretations such as "An Analysis of Cheese as Metaphor in Buffy The Vampire Slayer", an article that believes that Cheese is a metaphor for Buffy. Podcaster Alirio from Potentialcast and Redemptioncast believes that the Cheese Man is Joss Whedon himself and he accepts the cheesiness of Buffy but does not let it control him. |

Because I needed something in the show that was meaningless, because there is always something in the dream that doesn’t make any sense at all. In this case it was the Cheese Man. He confounds everybody because of that, and people ascribe him meaning. This to me means that we’re being successful, because this means they’re not worried about everything else, which means they sort of did understand most other things.”<ref>"[[Restless]]" [[DVD Commentaries|audio commentary]]</ref> |
