9->''"Ching, Chong, Oh Mister Ching Chong,\
10You are the king of Chinatown.\
11Ching Chong, I love your sing-song,\
12When you have turned the lights all down."''
13-->-- "Ching Chong", by Lee S. Roberts and J. Will Callahan
14
15A {{Stock Phrase|s}} used by non-Asians to be racist against the Chinese, and, due to InterchangeableAsianCultures, other Asians as well. Not to be confused with Ching-Chang-Chong, the usual German name of the game RockPaperScissors.[[note]]Incidentally, one of the Cantonese names for the game 猜程尋 is pronounced like "chai ching chum".[[/note]]
16
17Naturally, since the phrase is a racist insult, this is largely seen as a DiscreditedTrope, unless if used in a DudeNotFunny context. In fact, a ''lot'' of Asian-Americans consider this to be on par with the N-word. Subtrope of AsLongAsItSoundsForeign for the Chinese language. See also ElSpanishO, for the arguably Spanish equivalent of this trope.

23[[folder:Anime]]
24* ''Anime/GhostStories'':
25-->'''Hajime''': Oh perfect, it's in Japanese. Ching chong nog nig tow! Wait, that's Chinese. Luckily I can read barricade.
26[[/folder]]
27
28[[folder:Comic Books]]
29* ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'': One Rantanplan story has the Daltons hide in a Chinatown, having mugged passing Chinese people for their clothes, with William saying "ching chang choing". When they meet the head of the local triad, he says it referring to Rantanplan ([[PetHeir who's set to become the owner of most of Chinatown's buildings]]), with the triad head telling him he agrees with William (even if he'd never stoop to using such vulgar language).

32[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
33* ''[[Film/DumbAndDumber Dumb and Dumberer]]'' uses this, when Harry and Lloyd try to communicate with a Chinese exchange student. They then nickname her Ching Chong.
34* ''Film/{{Minari}}'': A white girl comes up to Anne at a church social, says "Stop me when I say something in Korean," and actually starts off with "Ching chong" before babbling a lot of other nonsense. But when Anne tells her that she actually said the Korean word for "aunt", the white girl is thrilled.
35* ''Film/TheWildWorldOfBatwoman'' used a spirit that alternated between this and talking very, very slowly during the [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment seance.]]
36* ''Cheech & Chong's Next Movie'' shows Cheech's cousin, Red, asking Chong how Chinese parents name their children. The "punch line" involves the sound silverware makes when it hits the ground. (Ching chang chong, bing bang bong.) Bonus discomfort points when you remember Chong's father in real life was Chinese.

40* The protagonist in ''A Chinese Girl In The Ghetto'' receives this every day.
41* In ''Literature/TheSchoolForGoodMothers'' Frida, the only Asian out of about 200 women, tries to discourage the other mothers from gossiping about her ex-roommate, who just quit (in the orientation, they were warned that gossiping was against the rules, and they are constantly being recorded). In response, she gets harassed and called "an uptight Chinese bitch". One of the white mothers makes ching-chong noises in her ear.

45[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
46* Series/TheColbertReport: Daniel Snyder (owner of the Washington Redskins sports team) attempted to make amends to Native Americans by starting a charity, but the name of that charity contained "Redskins," which is commonly seen as an epithet against Native Americans. In response, Stephen announced he was launching "The [[CallBack Ching-Chong Ding-Dong]] Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever" for Asians. Although people who actually saw the bit on television were less likely to complain, a staffer for the show tweeted the joke and put the context in one tweet, then the joke in another. Naturally, the second tweet spread far and wide without the context, along with calls to "#[=CancelColbert=]." The joke originally aired on a Thursday, then caught fire on Twitter on Friday. The next Monday, Colbert apologized.
47* ''Series/ChappellesShow'': In a skit about the blind, black [[BoomerangBigot white supremacist]] Clayton Bigsby, the character refers to this at one point when talking about Chinese people.
48* In the second episode of ''[[Series/ThirtyRock 30 Rock]]'', Tracy suggested for himself a character named "Ching Chong" who plays ping-pong.
49* When the ''Series/MockTheWeek'' crew started ragging on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPx7CNT2aVs 'Racist Door']] (used when one of them made a joke about nationalities, thus opening the door for others to be made), Creator/FrankieBoyle played it off as a section in a children's television show:
50-->"Hello, children! Shall we open the racist door? Who's behind- Oh, it's Ching-Chong Chinaman!"
51* Hilariously mocked by an Asian performer for ''New Zealand's Got Talent'', who wrote and sang an entire song about being called Ching-Chong (notably how it blocked her from other East Asian stereotypes like becoming a doctor and limited her to being a good ping-pong player).
52[[/folder]]
53
54[[folder:Music]]
55* The Music/MissyElliott song "Work It" contains the line "black white Puerto Rican Chinese boys, wang-thang thang-a thang-a thang-y thang".
56* Music/RuckaRuckaAli actually made a song titled "Ching Chang Chong" mocking various Asian stereotypes.
57* Music/RedHotChiliPeppers made a song called "Around the World" with lyrics that go, "Ding dang dong dong deng deng dong dong ding dang," in a faux-Chinese accent.
58[[/folder]]
59
60[[folder:Recorded And Stand Up Comedy]]
61* Creator/LouisCK uses it for SelfDeprecation; he describes wondering what a Chinese woman is thinking, "and my dumb brain is telling me she's just thinking: 'Ching chung cheeng, chung cheeng chaing.' That's how dumb I am, that I think Chinese gibberish that I made up is in her actually Chinese mind."
62* Creator/PattonOswalt's "Annihilation" tour has a joke where he woke up and saw "Korean Peninsula" was trending on Twitter and believed that President Trump probably went on TV and did a racist impression of Asian people including spouting Asian-sounding gibberish.
63[[/folder]]
64
65[[folder:Webcomics]]
66* ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'' uses it [[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02212002 here.]]
67-->"Do you even understand Chinese?"\
68"NO WAY THAT SHIT IS INSANE. IT'S ALL, CHING CHONG WING WONG"

71[[folder:Web Original]]
72* In ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'', Harry uses this in the song "Ginny's song reprise (cho chang)", to the white, Southern Cho.
73* A UCLA student posted a video titled "UCLA Asians in the Library", complaining they would answer their phones and "say 'Ohhh! Ching chong ling long ting tong? Ohhh!' just as one is about to have an epiphany while doing Poli-Sci homework." Shortly after the video went viral, she posted an apology and withdrew from the school for her own safety, as she had received [[https://www.thewrap.com/uclas-youtube-ranter-and-bikini-model-wannabe-alexandra-wallace-considered-posting-more-abou/amp/ death threats]].
74* The UCLA video was spoofed in turn with the song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulEMWj3sVA Ching Chong: It Means I Love You]]" by Creator/JimmyWong wherein the (Chinese) singer "admits" he has no idea what ting tong means.
75* A [=YouTuber=], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqhnHz3PDXPT6vAHVuAY7dg The Mechanic Shark Channel]], making fun of UsefulNotes/{{China}} in few of his videos and even made "[[UsefulNotes/XiJinping Xi]] the [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Pooh Bear]]" a "BigBad" who say "Ching chang chong".
76* This has been said in ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' as a form of RefugeInAudacity to poke fun at racism instead of actually ''being'' racist (or their brand of "accent humor.")
77* In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Prnh5iXOc Chow Town]]" by [=StamperTV=], a man tries to impress his date by placing an order in Chinese. His idea of "speaking Chinese" consists of [[RefugeInAudacity pulling his eyes into an almond shape with his fingers, yelling "Ching", "Chang", "Chong" and the ordered items, while the waiter just calmly writes down the order as if this was normal.]]
78* ''WebAnimation/{{Mastermind}}'': When the Mastermind starts blowing up cities with his Doomlaser, [[PreMortemOneLiner he bids "adios" to Madrid and "auf Wiedersehen" to Berlin]]. When he gets to Hong Kong, he awkwardly stammers out "ching chong cheng" before giving up and asking if any of his minions speak Chinese.
79* WebVideo/{{shaun}} posits that Cho Chang, as the sole East Asian in the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' books, got her name from author Creator/JKRowling making a something resembling name from ChingChong.

81
82[[folder:Western Animation]]
83* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuy8E7JeromeIsTheNewBlack Jerome Is the New Black]]," Peter sees a Music/TimeLifeMusic ad on TV for a compilation of "the Creator/RatPack's most bigoted songs," including one by Music/DeanMartin called "Chinaman's Chance":
84-->''And Mr. Chinaman say, in his Chinaman way\
85a ding-a-ling, a ching-a-chong a ching-a-chong choo.
86* The French dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' replaced the (relatively good) Cantonese swearing of Amy Wong from the English dub into this trope, a dark mark on an otherwise good dub.
87%% * ''WesternAnimation/HongKongPhooey'' is rather infamous for this trope.
88* Grampa Simpson does this in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', in the episode "Children of a Lesser Clod", when an Asian orderly (who is speaking perfect English) shows up to return him to the retirement home.
89-->'''Chinese Man:''' Come on Mr. Simpson, you need to be back at the Retirement Home.\
90'''Grampa:''' Thank you Ping-Pong.\
91'''Chinese Man:''' My name is Craig.\
92'''Grampa:''' Suuure it is.
93* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': when Butters and Cartman try to act Chinese when infiltrating a P. F. Chang's. Compared and contrasted against the restaurant's Chinese customers, who speak ''actual'' Mandarin.
94* In ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', President George Bush calls a Chinese ambassador (delivering a Film/{{Gremlin|s}}) "Ching Chong" during their visit to the US.
