Butt Boy is a 2020 American dark comedy horror film written by Tyler Cornack and Ryan Koch and directed by Cornack in his directorial debut. The film is a spinoff from a Tiny Cinema comedy sketch.


Chip Gutchel is an IT worker for sales company RTM. One day, while undergoing his first prostate exam, he feels immense sexual satisfaction. Later, he tries to replicate the feeling by inserting a bar of soap into his rectum, but finds that it has seemingly been absorbed into his body. He does the same with a remote control, and the same thing happens. This triggers an addiction in Chip, and he escalates to putting the family dog, Rocky, in his butt. This culminates in him absorbing a baby he sees at the park. Depressed, Chip attempts to hang himself, but fails.

Nine years later, Chip has his addiction under control by going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and disguising the true nature of his problem. One day, he is directed to mentor a new member, divorced police detective Russel Fox. While having dinner together, Russel vents about his compulsions for Tom Collins cocktails, and hearing this triggers a relapse in Chip. Over the next few days, Russel calls Chip for guidance, but gets no answers.

During take-your-child-to-work-day at RTM, Andrew, the son of Chip's coworker Jon, goes missing. Russel is assigned to investigate and immediately becomes suspicious of Chip due to the security cameras being erased (something which, as the IT specialist for the company, only Chip would know how to do). Chip then resumes attending AA meetings after an argument with his wife, Anne. While this is happening, Russel finds evidence of Chip's involvement in Andrew's disappearance and learns the true nature of his problem. It's also shown that the baby Chip absorbed at the park was Russel's son, Russel Jr (he had previously been shown stalking his ex-wife, who had since remarried and gotten pregnant).

Anne invites Russel to dinner, and Russel takes the chance to steal a computer disc showing the missing security footage. Realising this, Chip chases after Russel in his car, and it's revealed that Chip's anus can now powerfully suck in objects like a vacuum. Russel narrowly escapes, but loses the disc, and is subsequently fired from the police. Enraged, Russel tracks Chip down to a laser tag birthday party for his son. He manages to shoot Chip, but is sucked into his anus before he is able to kill him. Chip is hailed as a hero for apparently saving the children at the party from a crazed madman.

Russel wakes up inside Chip's bowels, where it's revealed that everything he has absorbed is still intact, including the original bar of soap and remote control. He meets Andrew and Russel Jr., who are miraculously alive, having survived on pieces of undigested food. One month later, Chip's physical therapist gives him a rectal exam, and Russel manages to spot the fingers, thus showing a possible way out. Working together, he, Russel Jr., and Andrew manage to push the bar of soap, the remote control, and Rocky out of Chip's anus. Before they can push out Andrew, however, Chip drinks a bottle of stomach elixir, fatally scalding Andrew and blocking the way out.

At an award ceremony held by the mayor, Chip is about to give a speech while the elixir is closing in on Russel and Russel Jr.. Out of desperation, Russel takes his lighter and triggers an explosion. This causes Chip's body to blow apart and spray all over the ceremony. At the hospital, Russel Jr. is successfully treated, and Russel walks out the door triumphantly
