"What What (In the Butt)" is a viral video created by Brownmark Films for the song of the same name by Samwell, a singer, songwriter, and actor. The video contains numerous camp references to homosexuality and anal sex. The lyrics of the song mostly revolve around the title.

The video lasts 3 minutes and 47 seconds, was made in widescreen format, and appears to have been produced entirely with a green screen. It was uploaded on Valentine's Day 2007 to YouTube and Google Video.The song was produced by Giorgio (Mike Stasny)cite web

It is followed by sighing lips superimposed on a chocolate heart, which quickly morphs into a chocolate star. The purpose of the glossy mouth is to attract attention. Both butt cheeks of Samwell's pants are decorated with the word "what". [cite web
