Delete. Has a (stub) section about the humor of having to write links, and a (stub) section about the humor of having to add Oscar Wilde quotes. Uses "gay" as a throwaway and fails to link it to the "Rainbow Coalition" flag. What's left is brainstorming about the names of the various colors. And a clever acronym--but any New Hampshire Republican is cleverer at it, and still out of office. Spıke¬ 18:34 15-Feb-10
Weak Keep. It hit's all the tourist attractions for Cthulhu related stuff and seems a bit tired like that but capable prose, a good sense of parody crossover and an awesome picture make it acceptable. --Count of Monkey Crisco 17:54, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

"Many who watch the entire film become incurably insane, others simply vanish the next morning, never to be seen again." Except for self-important gas like this, and like reviewers speaking in tongues, it's adequately written. I don't know if it's about something.

Chuck Ball! Not just wibble, it's wibble made by someone who's totally boring. This is someone who's predictable even when trying to be random. --Count of Monkey Crisco 17:45, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
No Sale. After being told in the intro that the subject is scary "because they are GREEN and FLY," Section 1 is "Inane ramblings." Admirable self-awareness, but who would read further? It's a collection of weasel words and encyclopedia clichés. Spıke¬ 18:38 15-Feb-10
Delete. 2005 cruft about nothing that actually exists. It's not funny, the grammar is iffy and it's worth 2.5 points in Chuck Ball. --Count of Monkey Crisco 16:43, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
Delete. I don't know what it's supposed to be about (maybe it's better that way). The article is pretty bombastic and unnecessary. "He eats his own poop." Yeah very funny. --Wilytank 16:58, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Keep. A real article about a real, notable person, funny in several places, regrettably pompous in the intro before the reader is sold to continue reading. Offshoots like the movie mean there is a lot to talk about. If Romartus would like to use his panoramic knowledge of history, I'll copy-edit. Spıke¬ 13:54 14-Feb-10
Keep The first graphs need some cleanup and additions after the first sentence or two. Then some good jokes follow. I really like the photo. This seems like more of a 'votes for potentially good articles which need work' nom than a 'votes for deletion' nom.

Wilytank's offense is not commenting without a vote, as Mr.N. has also done, but offering the particular comment that he'd like to see someone else rewrite it. "Starting from scratch" is of course an option once the article is deleted, as seems imminent. I can't do justice to Phoenix Wright, but Wilytank is welcome to step up, and the usual culprits might help him. Spıke¬ 04:20 15-Feb-10

Delete. - These are the type of pages I had in mind when I came up with Chuck Ball. The copious amounts of listcruft irritate me instead of making me chuckle. The only things mildly amusing are Coca-Cola being his arch-enemy, and the fact that it red-links to WordGirl in the See Also section, though the huge laugh I got from that was likely unintentional on the author's part. What a little girl superhero cartoon on PBS Kids has to do with this "Mr. Kickass" themed character is unclear. --Kip > Talk•Works•• 04:30, Feb. 15, 2010

"Originally intended to be a giant, city sized series of pubs" is HILARIOUS! However, the rest of the article is not, unless you are drunky-drunk, then it all makes sense (and is HILARIOUS!) Also, the "Majors and Courses" section appears to be accurate.

Delete. - Hey guys! In honor of the Olympics, let's play a little game of our own. It's called Chuck Norris Ball, or Chuck Ball for short. The object of the game is to go to Special:WhatLinksHere/Chuck Norris and find as many VFD-worthy pages as possible. The winner, of course, will be Uncyclopedia. The first hand-picked one is BASEketball, an article about a fictional game based off a movie staring to two creators of South Park. With a premise like that, you know in the pit of your stomach it's gonna be crap. Let the game begin! --Kip > Talk•Works•• 00:58, Feb. 13, 2010
Delete. It is very difficult to write an article to take the piss out of a movie whose thesis is to take the piss out of itself, and this author doesn't have it. Quotes tell me how to interpret what I haven't read yet; intro assaults me with memes. Section 2 goes to the meta-level, another risky concept, to which the author's only approach is gazillions and the year 200034. At that point, it becomes a video game, hold-the-video, and ends in--are you ready?--listcruft! Epic fail. Spıke¬ 01:04 13-Feb-10
It doesn't necessarily have to be crap just because of the South Park connection. But, most South Park fans (myself excluded since I totally rule and stuff) are idiots as far as I can tell. And this does suck. Much more than the movie (which I like to an extent, but I haven't watched it in at least five years, so I don't remember it to well.). Wait, what are you getting at exactly? Whatever, delete. --RomanDogBird!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D 01:06, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

So instead I think I'll tell you all what I plan on having for dinner tonight. I think I'll start with a light garden salad with blue cheese dressing. Then I'm going to make a nice batch of beer cheese soup. For the main course I have a pair of beautiful steaks I picked up from the butcher yesterday, superbly marbled and thick. I'm going to pan sear them and then broil them to medium rare. I like my steaks naked, but my wife will probably want to season hers. To each their own, eh? I think I'll enjoy the last of the bottle of twelve year old The Glenlivet that my wife bought me for christmas with the steak. Then I think I'll retire to the living room and enjoy an after dinner smoke and watch some TV. What are your guys' plans? -OptyCSucks! CUN15:27, 13 Feb

This article pursues just about all the jokes there are in the subject without stretching it to the point of pain, notably the contraction of "trinary digit."

Keeper Just the title refers to the kid Pie, and not to any of his disruptive socks. And 6 to 8 on VFH just a couple of days ago--six users voted for it for VFH within a few hours--so imnho it shouldn't be huffed for that reason alone. It is also a good article and has a very interesting message (see comment below). It's also on Worst 100 of 2010, so has a history as well in that quarter. And one user has said it's the best article since "Euroipods", so some people do like it very much.Not written by the kid, but by this kid. Adds up to an obvious keep. Aleister in Chains 12:31 12 Feb. MMX
Weak keep. I don't so much care about the pie kid. Too bad he thought he could sockpuppet his way out of trouble, whatever. The thing is, the article never even comes close to referencing the kid or the drama, and I don't think it's QVFD quality either. Per Syndrome, basically, except I don't think Hardwick Fundlebuggy was a troll. On top of that, the article is principally too young for VFD. I don't see why we shouldn't just follow regular procedure. Someone with the right authority can tag it with an ICU or expand tag. —SirSocky(talk)(stalk)GUNSotMUotMPMotMUotYPotMWotM14:55, 12 February 2010
Had I followed process I would have huffed it already. I know the author is not going to change it much so there is no point using ICU. We use VFD like this sometimes for such things... MrNFork you! 17:43, Feb 12
Did an author not planning to change an article ever save it from ICU? Suppose you ICU it. If it somehow turns into an enjoyable article, then that's great. If it stays the same, then it's bye bye poop throwing monkeys. Just saying. —SirSocky(talk)(stalk)GUNSotMUotMPMotMUotYPotMWotM19:48, 12 February 2010

And I just made the man in the suit a professor of anthropology, which enhances the article into a clearer perspective of my comment, below. Thanks for the idea, see, these VFD's can improve a page just by discussion alone. Thanks again, Aleister in Chains 13:40 12 Feb. MMX
Hardly an enhancement, as at state universities, social-science professors as well as their union representatives throw poop with no provocation at all. Imagine emoticon here.Spıke¬ 14:36 12-Feb-10

Comment Put the drama aside, and look at the page on its own. I've come to realize how good it is, because, in a nutshell, a man in a suit goes from an enjoyable moment in his life to becoming a poop throwing monkey himself in about 12 seconds. The guy in the suit poops in his hands (so he must have taken down his pants, a couple of seconds time there) and throws it at the chimps in a territorial dispute. The five primates on the page, four chimps and a human, are defending their "area" (the man, his person, his pride, and his property--the suit), just like I'm doing now with this comment, although in words and not poop. The point is that the page shows in a quick read that humans are primates, we are apes, something denied by a vast majority of the human ape population. So, on the point of it having a message, it should, imnho, be kept. Aleister in Chains 12:37 12 Feb. MMX

Guess I'm missing why it should be deleted. Seems to be some funny bits in there, and lots of work has gone into it. And the size itself, for a small town, is funny. Shouldn't there be a template on the page letting them know about this vote, and contact the principal writers to ask them to tone it back and leave out personal names? Just looks like a lot of work to be huffed without an attempt to reign it in and ask one of their editors to be responsible for watching it and keeping it short, unlike this comment.Aleister in Chains 00:48 12 Feb.

Do the funny bits include the fanciful treatment of the municipal user-fee for trash pickup? Or somewhere else in the 51-bleeping-K? I'm receptive to trying to contact and rein in the authors, but suspect they will not want to see their Baby in handcuffs. After all, they wrote 51K (if there are more than one of them) without beginning a talk page. Meanwhile, the only one of us who gives A's for effort (or time spent) is Jupiterfox.
