"Holy shit, it's a Bigfoot!"
BUTCHY KID VIDEOS (born November 2, 1955) is a YouTube comedy channel that specializes in parodies of supernatural encounter videos. They started their channel in 2006 and are still running.
Most of their videos follow a specific formula: A cameraman with a distinct, raspy voice discovers a cryptid or other monster (clearly a person in a costume) and has an incredulous reaction. The monster does something silly or unscary, like stealing a vehicle. The cameraman shouts at the monster, who flips him the bird. The monster either runs away or attacks the cameraman.

This channel's videos contain examples of:
- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Bigfoot and its relatives are the most common types of monsters in their videos.
- Biting-the-Hand Humor: In "GIGANTIC SPIDER ATTACK CAUGHT ON VIDEO," the cameraman makes a jab at YouTube and their tendency to demonetize videos that include swear words. Considering how much he loves swearing, it's understandable for him to be bitter about this.Cameraman: I gotta catch it on tape so I can make some money. I better be careful not to say 'shit,' or YouTube might demonetize it.
- Brooklyn Rage: The cameraman seems to have a strong Brooklyn accent, and he's constantly getting angry at the monsters when they mess with his property. He sometimes attempts to confront or fight them, but he always fails. Downplayed in that he lives in a rural area by a forest (it's unclear where, exactly.)
- Butt-Monkey:
- The cameraman gets harassed by the featured monster quite a lot.
- The monsters themselves don't really fare much better either, from the ghost always falling down stairs, or a bigfoot being subjected to physical harm in some capacity.
- Cassandra Truth: Implied. In "SHOCKING YETI ENCOUNTER CAUGHT ON TAPE," the yeti steals the cameraman's pickup truck. The cameraman complains that his insurance won't cover it, presumably because they'll never believe him.Cameraman: I just got carjacked by a freaking yeti! My liability insurance ain't gonna cover THIS shit!
- Catchphrase: The cameraman has several:
- "Holy shit! It's a [X]!" when spotting the titular monster.
- "Phew!" when smelling something awful.
- "Son of a bitch!", though occasionally bitch would be swapped out for a different word or an entire phrase.
- "Are you kidding me!?" as a reaction to the monster doing something that's invasive like using his toilet or shower.
- "HEY!" when he wants to get the monster's attention so he can tell them off... or at least try to.
- "I gotta get the hell outta here!" when he, well, needs to get out of the scene.
- Clickbait Gag: All of their video titles are in All Caps, with titles like "SHOCKING YETI ENCOUNTER CAUGHT ON TAPE" and "WORLD'S MOST UNBELIEVABLE PARANORMAL VIDEOS" which make it seem like the videos are purportedly showing real supernatural encounters. As it turns out, all the videos are about people in obviously fake monster costumes doing silly things.
- Death of a Child: There's two episodes where a baby Bigfoot dies.
- "BABY SASQUATCH FOUND DEAD" has a Bigfoot run over a Snatchsquatch's baby scroller with a truck as she watches in horror.
- "BABY BIGFOOT FOUND DEAD" has a Bigfoot try to help a Snatchsquatch give birth, only to fling the baby towards a tree and kill it instantly.
- A Dick in Name: The video "NEWS CREW'S SHOCKING BIGFOOT ENCOUNTER" features a rude fire marshal named Richard Stroker (as in Dick Stroker.)
- Domestic Abuse: "SLENDER MAN ATTACK - CAUGHT ON TAPE" has the Slenderman and Slenderwoman be physically violent towards each other. It's Played for Laughs.
- Driven to Suicide: "BIGFOOT FOUND DEAD" has a Bigfoot blow his brains out with a shotgun after reading newspapers about the Bernie Madoff Investment Scandal. Once again, it's Played for Laughs.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: His earlier videos don't contain much of his many Catchphrases and has less swearing and shouting.
- Flipping the Bird: The monsters flip the bird at the cameraman every time they're angry or defiant towards him.
- Gasshole: When the ghost farts, it's super loud, visibly gassy, and horrendously pungent.
- Large Ham: The cameraman is very entertaining with his dramatic reactions to seeing the monsters.
-
Long-Runners: The channel has been uploading videos fairly consistently since 2006. - Minor Injury Overreaction: In "SHOCKING YETI ENCOUNTER CAUGHT ON TAPE," the yeti throws a snowball at the cameraman. The cameraman reacts as if he'd been shot.Cameraman: SHIT! I'm hit!
- Monster Clown: Played for Laughs. In "SCARY KILLER CLOWN ATTACK CAUGHT ON TAPE," the cameraman sees three clowns in scary masks standing in his yard. They're practicing a juggling routine and doing poorly at it. The cameraman goes outside and mocks them for being bad at clowning. The clowns get pissed off and throw their juggling balls and pins at him. One clown suffocates him with a large, inflatable ball.
- Mood Whiplash: The ghost videos are silent and eerie... and just as he gets near the camera, cue Staircase Tumble.
- Negative Continuity: The videos don't seem to have an ongoing continuity, considering that the cameraman is constantly shocked by seeing monsters, even ones he has seen in previous videos, and some videos seem to end with him dying, only for him to be back in the next video.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Most of the monsters are portrayed by people in costumes, but the "giant spiders" seen in a few videos are Halloween props on strings.
- The Peeping Tom: "SEXUAL PREDATOR CAUGHT ON TAPE" has the cameraman spy on his neighbor's daughter at the pool, only to find a bigfoot doing the same thing.
- Rhymes on a Dime: The cameraman frequently incorporates rhymes into his dialogue.
- Scary Scarecrows: Played for Laughs. In "THE SCARIEST SCARECROW EVER MADE," the cameraman realizes that the scarecrow he put in his vegetable garden is eating his vegetables, so he goes outside to confront the scarecrow. After he insults the scarecrow, the scarecrow gets mad and starts beating him with a zucchini.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: The cameraman loves shouting profanities whenever he's surprised or pissed off.
- Staircase Tumble: Nearly every ghost video will involve them falling down a set of stairs.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics:
- The Snatchsquach has comically huge breasts and wears a bra and underwear. Occasionally, she would have hair too.
- The Slenderwoman has hair and is wearing lingerie while the Slenderman is bald and is wearing a suit.
- Toilet Humor: Some episodes involve a ghost farting very loudly, a bigfoot using the toilet and not flushing, etc.
- Vulgar Humor: These videos thrive on vulgar comedy. Many of them include things like constant swearing, sex jokes, and middle fingers.
