I guess this double meaning was created on purpose? There's probably a word for this kind of linguistic trickery.

Thanks, this might be the word I was looking for. Still suspect it was done on purpose here but couldn't find direct evidence.

Seems similar to 'misheard lyrics' which can be pretty hilarious: https://www.kissthisguy.com/bohemian-rhapsody-queen-misheard-song-961.htm

I'm sure it was done on purpose, but it's also an interesting coincidence that those words sound like that together.

The two examples I gave are misheard lyrics, I usually can't hear anything but the wrong lyrics these days.

What I found most interesting is how the brain works, sometimes. (Or that it sometimes works) Heard that phrase spoken many, many times but only yesterday, when watching a video, it finally clicked.
