What's the joke?

Okay, what's the specific running gag here? A page that simply lists instances of the word times (most of which are either perfectly grammatical or nearly so) is not worthy of inclusion. — It's dot com 22:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree. There's nothing particularly unusual about these usages. -132.183.138.223 23:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
I just noticed this. I agree too, there's nothing really special about the word itself. It's used in odd places because of the jokes going on there at the "times", not actually because of anything intrinsic to the word itself. — Defender1031*Talk 18:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

And yet it misses both of the "do you have the times" jokes. For shame. Deleted. Bed, bath and be-yond. --Jay (Gobble) 17:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Diggity. This is more so plural instead of singular, already a page. What's more, the intro sucks. A lot. --Jellote 21:11, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
I add my support for delete, fully agreeing with.. well.. 100% of the rest that have commented here. OptimisticFool 01:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I have no reason to say why this should be deleted that has not already been mentioned by another user, so I just will say to delete. Homestar-Winner (talk) 02:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I think this article should stay. The five uses here are unique enough for this to be a word running gag. Right now I'm also wondering if the Scrolling Shooter Menu caption for Secret Collect "A flashing maze to create many times!", counts. Elcool (talk)(contribs) 19:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
On reflection, I now realise that the word Times is a ligitimate word running gag as it comes up enough times to be considered as one. However, it still seems to be an extention of plural instead of singular and, like O' Dems before it, this article should be merged with that article, perhaps with a subsection if necessary. – The Chort 16:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
