Panda Cheese is an obscure cheese brand from Egypt. However, they were known for their series of advertisements which went viral on the internet and even managed to win awards from the Cannes Lions. It became a minor Memetic Mutation in the internet with some people doing a parodies of it.

The ads would start out with someone offering someone else a Panda Cheese and the person would refuse it for whatever reasons. Then a Panda would come on screen, stare at the person for a while, then starts destroying their things. The implicit message being that you shouldn't refuse a Panda Cheese in the first place.

Tropes used in Never Say No to Panda include:
  • Genre Savvy: In one commercial, a guy decided to get 2 Panda Cheeses upon seeing the Panda before it could destroy his groceries.
  • Jerkass: The Panda. Seriously, why did it have to destroy everything just because someone didn't want to eat the product?
  • Leitmotif: When the Panda appears, Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" plays.
  • Mascot: Presumably the Panda Bear in regards to Panda Cheese.
  • Oh Crap: The reaction of the people when they see the Panda.
  • Space Whale Aesop: You better get this product, or a panda will come and destroy your things.
  • Strictly Formula: As described above.
