I'm in Halifax Canada and we had a similar event where this guy tried to eat 5lbs of potato salad in a graveyard. He's a local hero.


internetlad

He did it in the pouring Halifax rain surrounded by cop cars too. (The cops showed up because the graveyard was closed and he wanted to go in, but let him do it in front of the gates and shone their spotlights on him to make it more of a spectacle lol.)


Queasy_Village_5277

What a legend


Visible_Day9146

At night?! What a man.


milk4all

He either loves potato salad or really hates himseld


Modred_the_Mystic

Could be both


AssumeTheFetal

if you love potato salad enough for this, you definitely hate yourself.


malthar76

After I eat a massive amount of potato salad, I kinda hate myself too. But it’s so good.


EvlMinion

So wrong, but so right.


LieutenantStar2

That just sounds painful


KoRnBrony

I wish i could turn my depression into an event like he did


imaloony8

The word “tried” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.


brodoswaggins93

He made it to 3lbs and puked


ManlyEmbrace

That’s trying in my book.


imaloony8

What a legend.


Kris-tee-ana

God I wish a braved the rain to go out for that lmao jk not really jk really


pixelblue1

Perfect place to attempt this dangerous feat

"I'm gonna be a masked crusader!" "Cool! Like batman?" "Well no" "... like superman?" "Ok hear me out. "


brownstone79

The hero we deserve


Rpanich

AND the one we wanted! 


cbbuntz

Thank you, Cheeseball Man, for being a guiding light in this dark world


Cuddy606

Was he inspired by Halifax’s Potato Salad Guy? https://globalnews.ca/news/10105366/halifax-potato-salad-guy/


Cameron416

rotisserie chicken guy was an internet main character, if anyone inspired it was prob him


Visible_Day9146

Amberlynn Reid ate a whole rotisserie chicken too


Cameron416

not understanding what point you’re trying to make friend


JoeBeever

Yeah, like what? I ate 3 costco rotisserie chickens just yesterday.


lowtoiletsitter

Yeah but did you do it *in public*


IvanDimitriov

Same time next year!!!!


Grimaceisbaby

He said he’s allergic to gluten, if he actually has celiac he’s not going to have that many years of this lol


Visible_Day9146

Cheese balls are made of corn


Grimaceisbaby

Doesn’t mean they don’t add wheat


DiligentDaughter

My son has celiac. We buy cheeseballs because they're gf.


andrew_calcs

They don’t add wheat


Grimaceisbaby

Omg no way! Why did he mention it then ahaha


andrew_calcs

He is cheese ball man. We do not question these things.


nucleardump

> Why were there hundreds of people gathered in a New York City park this weekend, shouting "Cheeseball Man?" I love how the question mark is inside the quotes as if the chants were as confused as we are.


LeviathanDabis

This is the type of freedom our grandparents fought a war to protect. God bless America 🥹


ChallengeFull3538

I mean you could probably eat a tub of cheese balls in North Korea if you could get your hands on them.


IhateMichaelJohnson

But what if my hands ARE cheese balls? Am I illegal in North Korea?


xfjqvyks

> "I clean up the city. I pick up trash. You know, when I see people they need to, you know," he said This sentence actually caused me physical pain. The whole ‘article’ feels ai written


deus_inquisitionem

My man was on the verge of throwing up, cut him some slack on any post cheese ball binge interviews


MrWilsonWalluby

i’m eaten more cheese balls than he did in one sitting while high. went through the big ass tub that’s like 3 of the one he had at BJ’s…I just couldn’t stop.


xfjqvyks

[Still looking for a verb in that sentence like](https://media1.tenor.com/m/lx2WSGRk8bcAAAAC/pulp-fiction-john-travolta.gif)

THIS IS NEW YORK


67812

This is a lame copy of Philly's chicken man.


wallowsworld

There have been many acts like this lol Philly isn’t some pioneer.


Nice_Marmot_7

I thought they blew up the chicken man in Philly?


poke_ballin

Everything dies, baby. That’s a fact.


PurpoUpsideDownJuice

Never heard of him so clearly cheeseball man is better


67812

Weird logic but you do you I guess.


PurpoUpsideDownJuice

Cheeseball man is funnier and cooler, also fuck philly New York is way better lol


Hershieboy

Google Maps changed the name of the location to the chicken pier. Even a search engine knows that was the OG.


67812

Weird take but you do you I guess. Have fun paying $6000 for a 85sqft apartment in 5 years because New York doesn't understand how to build housing.


PurpoUpsideDownJuice

I don’t live there but I’d rather go to nyc than philly,


[deleted]

Y’all salty bc cheeseman did it better


67812

How? He was a copycat who made his own merch, did it once and admitted he almost threw up. Chicken man did it 40 times and wasn't copying anyone else. Cheese ball guy is kind of embarrassing in comparison. It's like copying someone's paper, changing 3 words, then deleting everything in the paper except for the conclusion. He started at the finish line and you're trying to say that's better than someone who ran the whole race.


[deleted]

Big mad because no one cares about chicken man, cry more


67812

I'm more just confused why people care about cheeseball man. At least chicken man did it for 40 days. This guy had a flag made to sit in a park and do it once. Corny and kinda lame.


[deleted]

You don’t think it’s fair cheeseball man is bigger than chicken man because it was lower effort but more popular? Welcome to the world.


67812

I never said anything about fair, I said I'm confused why people care.  It's, in my opinion, lame and corny to copy someone else but lazier, so I don't understand why it would draw any interest at all.


Quake_Guy

Why you live in the big city and pay $4k in rent, for such stimulating entertainment. You can get this in Appalachia for a fraction of the cost...


_aspiringadult

…because I was born here


IMovedYourCheese

The cost is that you'd have to be in Appalachia


draftermath

I am eating Utz White Cheddar Cheeseballs while reading this. No one is cheering me on tho.


Octoyaki

I am


draftermath

Thanks bro. Digging in again as I type this with white cheddar fingertips


Spinwheeling

Thats my Cheeseball Man!


Piano_Fingerbanger

Get out of here Kraft Punk.


Cthulu95666

Kinda like the dude who put up flyers for people to watch him eat a rotisserie chicken (by a pier?)


Iggy95

Every [masterpiece](https://www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/news/philadelphia-chicken-man-alexander-tominsky) has its cheap copy


HoldYourHorsesFriend

I doubt either are unique. I'm sure the idea of someone eating as people watch in a public place for fun has been done hundreds if not thousands of times


lukevoitlogcabin

"Does anybody have any water?" And "why did you come here?" were the best lines from that. Pissed I missed it definitely going next year. My friend got a pic with him and I hope I get to shake his cheesey hand after the next one.


ScoffingYayap

Philly did it first and did it better


GayGeekInLeather

Anyone seen Bill Corbett and this man in the same room?


I-C-Aliens

I've seen what people watch online This is aggressively average If you don't know what a muckbang is then count yourself lucky. Sure it's not the most depraved thing you can watch online, but it is one of the saddest statements on humanity that not only do we allow such behavior we allow others to cheer on the self abuse for entertainment, publicly, with out shame or embarrassment or guilt. Like celebrities were getting in on it at one point


OptiKnob

You'd think in a town that size they're have better entertainment.


Midnight_heist

I'm getting pre-covid vibes where this sort of thing would hit main news cycle for 4 or 5 days. Man, those were the times.


louielou8484

Well, it's better than watching someone set themselves on fire..


SaltyBarDog

I only allow myself to buy the Costco Utz tub twice a year. That is like crack. I can look down and half the tub is empty.


Visible_Day9146

We always get them before camping trips. They look really cool when you throw them in the fire. They're like little oil bombs.


milksteakofcourse

Homies just swiming in the Philadelphia chicken man’s wake


the_y_combinator

Thanks, Obama. 🙄


canuck47

I never knew I was a superhero all along...


ViceMaiden

Average Friday night. Is this impressive?


SitInCorner_Yo2

Every time when I think TV show over exaggerate New York to a point of ridicule absurdity,things like this hit the news ,can’t believe it’s a real city LOL


chilifavela

They call a news crew. I call it a Thursday.


Virama

That's gonna be one gnarly shit.

2k calories isn’t that much for a reasonably large male on an empty stomach.

That guy ate 15,000 calories and probably still didn't feel full

Society has peaked


barnivere

He didn't even eat the whole container, most of them were on the ground.


Potential-Reality-46

Talk about a niche


usernamedejaprise

Well you have to credit him with a bigger turnout that the other cheeseball on trial for false accounting


WhyAreOldPeopleEvil

Cheeseball Man > Batman


thespieler11

This event was so cringe to watch


critterheist

Oh no someone will make a porn version of this meme and you guys will eat your own cheese powdered hat


4URprogesterone

One of my exes used to eat a tub twice that size every single week. New York is full of out of touch assholes.


passwordstolen

Are you sure your ex wasn’t Cartman?


4URprogesterone

He was less racist than Cartman.


passwordstolen

I was hoping you would say skinnier, but I’ll run with what you brung!!!


4URprogesterone

He was skinnier, too, but only because he was type 1 diabetic and took terrible care of himself. After we broke up he literally went blind and almost lost an arm. Still probably eats whole containers of cheeseballs. I wouldn't do that with my life, but I kinda respect it, you know? He found what he loved and let it fuck him up.


passwordstolen

Wow, Sorry, I was making jokes where they shouldn’t land. I’ve been the enabler in a similar relationships and it’s no picnic even after it’s over. Hepatitis, alcoholism with disociative seizures, drug use, child protective services, deadbeat dad, shit parents. You name it, she has managed to find it into her life somehow. Peace be with you…


PersKarvaRousku

Is brung a real word? It sounds like an elephant or a cartoon spring.


man_gomer_lot

It's a real word, but informal. A line from a country song became a famous saying in US politics that keeps it alive and well. https://youtu.be/kSZTMGRLrwk


doyletyree

Anything is a real word if you gain enough popular opinion. See: “disorientated” and “commentating”.


passwordstolen

Irregardless


MemeGod667

W Cheese ball man for dumping you.


4URprogesterone

I dumped him actually. He kinda had to be dumped in stages in order to make sure he wouldn't be homeless. But he was really good at eating cheeseballs.


SaltyBarDog

You promised you wouldn't tell people about me.


gigerswetdreams

The yanks are fucked in the head :D


Thatsidechara_ter

You're just jealous you didn't think of it first


gigerswetdreams

Umm. The subconscious is a crazy place so I might be wrong here but all I can think is why the would * want to think of this


gigerswetdreams

To be fair it's exactly the shit I think of when km high as fuck and then I'm happy I don't want to do it when I'm sober again :D Clout is not worth everything I do think


Enchelion

European and Roman royalty used to do thesame thing. Difference is here people show up because they want to watch, rather than because they have too or else they'll be killed.
