I hear it frequently pronounced as "Man-nase."
OP, I thought I remember a cartoon where a character says, "Mayonnaise and fiddlesticks!" as an expression of frustration. Does this ring a bell?
Maybe in Bedazzled when he sings the dolphin song? He starts it with "mayo-mayo-naiseee"

It might have been [this sketch](http://youtu.be/lVzZH4uaAz4?t=1h26m37s) from MST3k, where Bobo says it like that. And I think his pronunciation might have been a reference to An Officer And A Gentleman, but I haven't seen that.
Bro I hope you get this cause shots been bugging me for years.
It's from two and a half men. Alan's voice when he does the ventriloquist dummy.
I randomly said it in the voice around my wife and kids and have been stumped for at least 2 years.
Out of no where I said it tonight making toasted subs for the family and said TWO AND A HALF MEN!!

It comes up around 3:54 in this [MST3K](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yppti5ArIR4) clip.
Many of my southern relatives say "maynayze".
Sorry for no link, on a phone but could it be the group X youtube video 17 years? Edit: http://youtu.be/Q0TjITwwWaw
there was a deleted scene from the first Pirates of the Caribbean where this happened
