Reply to comment by kgunnar in TIL the term “cloud cuckoo land” goes back to the Ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, who used it for a utopian city of birds in his farce, the Birds by Mr_Westerfield

So that's why it sounded so familiar!

I'm sure anyone who frequents TV Tropes would also recognize it instantly.

I first heard it while watching a playthrough of The Lego Movie ages ago.

I haven't seen it on TV Tropes, though. Haven't even visited the site in a while for that matter. Now I at least know it has a page there, so I have that going on for me.
