Balltze muncul sebagai karakter [[meme Internet]] Cheems, yang namanya berasal dari "[[Burger keju|cheemsburgers]]" {{sic}} kesukaannya.<ref name=nacion/> Meme ini pertama kali diposting ke subreddit r/dogelore di [[Reddit]] pada bulan Juni 2019.<ref name=kym/> Gambar yang digunakan untuk meme tersebut awalnya diunggah di akun [[Instagram]] Balltze pada tahun 2017, dan menunjukkan dia sedang duduk di lantai.<ref name=rtve/>

Cheems juga ditampilkan dalam meme "Swole Doge vs Cheems" di mana versi Doge yang berotot mewakili sesuatu yang dianggap lebih baik di masa lalu, dan Cheems mewakili keadaannya saat ini yang lebih rendah.<ref name=rtve/> Meme tersebut menjadi viral pada pertengahan tahun 2020, selama [[pandemi COVID-19]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Swole Doge vs. Cheems: el meme de los perros que se está viralizando en redes |trans-title=Swole Doge vs. Cheems: the dog meme that is going viral on the web |url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/cribeo/fast-news/20200527/481425063352/swole-doge-vs-cheems-meme-perros-esta-viralizando-redes.html |access-date=20 August 2023 |work=[[La Vanguardia]] |date=27 May 2020 |language=Spanish |archive-date=4 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404070238/https://www.lavanguardia.com/cribeo/fast-news/20200527/481425063352/swole-doge-vs-cheems-meme-perros-esta-viralizando-redes.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Entrepreneur en Español |date=11 January 2021 |title=Cheems, the Dog Made Famous By Memes, Turned 10 Years Old |work=[[SFGATE]] |url=https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Cheems-the-Dog-Made-Famous-By-Memes-Turned-10-15861211.php |access-date=21 August 2023 |archive-date=29 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220929001112/https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Cheems-the-Dog-Made-Famous-By-Memes-Turned-10-15861211.php |url-status=live }}</ref> Dalam format meme lainnya, [[Godzilla]] dan [[King Kong]] mewakili dua pihak yang bersaing, sedangkan Cheems yang dipersenjatai dengan tongkat baseball menjadi pihak ketiga yang menang dan mengusir dua pihak lainnya.<ref>{{cite news |title=‘This is gold’: KFC Spain’s twist to Godzilla vs Kong meme sets internet abuzz |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-globally/kfc-spain-gives-twist-to-godzilla-vs-kong-meme-with-doge-7191426/|work=[[The Indian Express]] |access-date=28 August 2023 |date=17 February 2021}}</ref>

Pada tahun 2020, meme lain beredar, di mana Cheems memukul anjing lain dengan tongkat baseball yang menyebabkan [[onomatopoeia]] "bonk", sambil mengatakan "go to [[gairah seksual|horny]] jail" (''pergilah ke penjara rangsangan''); meme tersebut diposting sebagai tanggapan terhadap pesan-pesan yang menjurus ke arah seksual.<ref name=rtve/> ''[[The Guardian]]'' jurnalis Caleb Quinley mencatat gambar ini dalam [[Unjuk rasa Myanmar 2021|protes terhadap]] [[kudeta Myanmar 2021]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Quinley |first1=Caleb |title=Three-finger salute: Hunger Games symbol adopted by Myanmar protesters |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/08/three-finger-salute-hunger-games-symbol-adopted-by-myanmars-protesters |access-date=24 August 2023 |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=8 February 2021}}</ref>

Cheems muncul di beberapa meme lain di dunia berbahasa Spanyol, termasuk ucapan "no puede ser" ("Tidak mungkin") dan "me da amsiedad" ("Ini membuat saya [[kecemasan|amxiety]]{{sic}}" [cemas]).<ref>{{cite news |last1=Aguilar |first1=Eduardo |title=¿De qué raza es el perro Cheems? |trans-title=What breed was Cheems the dog? |url=https://www.petlife.mx/tendencias/2023/8/19/de-que-raza-es-el-perro-cheems-1549.html |access-date=21 August 2023 |work=Pet Life |date=19 August 2023 |language=Spanish |archive-date=21 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230821191322/https://www.petlife.mx/tendencias/2023/8/19/de-que-raza-es-el-perro-cheems-1549.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Cortez |first1=Diego |title=Cheems murió, la famosa perrita [''sic''] del meme de la 'amsiedad' |trans-title=Cheems, the famous dog from the 'amxiety' meme, died |url=https://elmanana.com.mx/escena/2023/8/19/cheems-murio-la-famosa-perrita-del-meme-de-la-amsiedad-106133.html |access-date=21 August 2023 |work=[[El Mañana (Nuevo Laredo)]] |date=19 August 2023 |language=Spanish |archive-date=22 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230822165825/https://elmanana.com.mx/escena/2023/8/19/cheems-murio-la-famosa-perrita-del-meme-de-la-amsiedad-106133.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Pada tahun 2021, lembaga penyiaran publik Spanyol [[RTVE]] menulis, "Yang jelas adalah bahwa sebuah meme bernilai lebih dari seribu kata dan Cheems serta Doge kini menjadi bagian dari budaya populer Internet, terus-menerus menciptakan kembali diri mereka sendiri untuk mencerahkan hari-hari kita atau menempatkan kita di tengah-tengah tempat kita".<ref name=rtve/> Meme Cheems favorit pemilik Balltze, Kathy, adalah meme dalam bahasa Spanyol, di mana dia mandi dan berkata "Could you carry on [[Multi sentuh#Gerakan_multi sentuh|scrolling]]? It's just that I'm taking a bamth{{sic}}" ({{lit|Bisakah kamu terus menggulir? Hanya saja aku sedang mandi}}).<ref name=kym/>

Kathy awalnya tidak memahami meme Cheems karena sifatnya yang [[Humor surealis|absurdis]]. Dia kemudian menandatangani kesepakatan dengan perusahaan manajemen dan perusahaan mainan Amerika, serta membuat kaos yang disumbangkan ke badan amal anjing setempat.<ref name=kym/>

Terdapat [[mata uang kripto]] yang terinspirasi dari Cheems seperti Cheems Inu dan Cheemscoin. Parth Dubey dari ''[[International Business Times]]'' menulis bahwa koin-koin tersebut adalah bagian dari "sejumlah koin bertema anjing" yang bersaing dengan [[Dogecoin]] dan [[Shiba Inu (mata uang kripto)|Shiba Inu]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dubey |first1=Parth |title=Stench Of A Scam?
