| − | The '''Blue Ball Machine''' is one of the most frequently-viewed pages on all of YTMND and the most viewed Hall-of-Fame member as of September 2, 2006. The site is a patchwork of animated GIFs linked together accompanied by a looping hook of the song ''Breakfast Machine'' from the film ''Pee-wee's Big Adventure.'' The image was created by hundreds of [[Something Awful]] forums goons who made one frame each. It has earned this title by accruing a staggering four million pageviews since its inception in October of 2005.

| − | Due to its enourmous viewcount, it is touted as the greatest YTMND ever created. But the original creator, Earthbounder, does not feel the same. He claims that [[Cosby Bebop]] is the greatest ever. He is also not willing to let his YTMND grow old and decay. He claims that if the rating falls under {{****}} he will have it deleted as soon as possible.

As gaining access to the original thread requires a paid membership to the SomethingAwful forums, a link to the original thread cannot be made available.
