What is buttcrack story?

The "buttcrack story" is an urban legend and a common prank played on unsuspecting individuals. The basic premise involves someone telling a long and elaborate story, building suspense, and culminating in a punchline related to a visible buttcrack.

The variations are endless, but common elements include:

  • A long, drawn-out narrative: The storyteller deliberately makes the story complex and meandering to hold the listener's attention.
  • Misdirection: The story seems to be heading in one direction, often involving a serious or dramatic topic.
  • The "buttcrack" reveal: At the climax of the story, the storyteller points out a person's exposed <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/buttcrack">buttcrack</a> (often unknowingly displayed by someone bending over or sitting). The punchline is usually something simple like, "And that's when I saw his buttcrack!" or a more elaborate tie-in to the story's themes.
  • Humor and embarrassment: The humor derives from the unexpected and often absurd juxtaposition of the elaborate story with the mundane and slightly embarrassing sight of a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/buttcrack">buttcrack</a>. The person whose buttcrack is revealed is often the unwitting victim of the joke.

The humor is considered puerile and sophomoric by some, while others find it harmlessly funny. The effectiveness of the joke often depends on the storyteller's delivery and the reaction of the victim.
