- Does that mean "delete" or "keep"? Stancel 01:13, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep old-school (by internet standards) meme / joke type. Thoroughly stupid and not particularly funny, but probably worth an entry. Evidence: 11,100 Google hits and a Yahoo directory with 45 different Ate My Balls sites listed. Another source lists 320 different Ate My Balls sites.

- The Magic Ate-Ball says... weak keep, dozens or hundreds of XXX Ate My Balls sites since 1998. Not clever enough or funny enough to be labelled "sophomoric", but widespread. Barno 20:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - David Gerard 23:26, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, neologism. Radiant_* 08:55, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, much like the Prime Number Shitting Bear, this was big in its day, and has since become old meme. --Badlydrawnjeff 17:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The Prime Number Shitting Bear Ate my balls. Barno 19:40, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- And my balls are prime, so the bear could continue its most notable function. In the woods. Barno 19:42, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I never thought "Ate My Balls" humor could ever be funny, until just a moment ago. Thanks.--Unfocused 04:51, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Internet meme that is barely notable enough to keep. Quale 20:46, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, clearly part of the sum of human knowledge I was unaware of. Kappa 21:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, for roughly the same reason that the OED included "bootylicious" -- someone, somewhere, is going to want to look it up to figure out what the hell it was all about. Haikupoet 04:49, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. per Haikupoet. --Unfocused 04:53, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I can't see any harm in this article being there, although it does bring back some painful memories- let's just say I no longer have a remis --dmj27 1800, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Regardless of your take on the humor, it is a part of US culture. MSTCrow 23:43, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Stupid, pointless, and culturally reprehensible, but that's the stuff of revolutions - that, and this is the first 'net meme I ever 'got'. Tiny bit sentimental. Elemental Knight 03:38, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
