10 Times Video Game Button Prompts Got WEIRD

7. Poop - South Park : The Stick Of Truth

There's not a whole lot to say in this one.

South Park, both show and games, revels in its absurdity and never shies away from body humour. As a show about four young boys living in a bizarre mid-Western American town, in fact it was inevitable that potty humour would constantly rear itself, generally causing guilty giggles.

The Stick of Truth was a love letter of a game, filled to the brim with callbacks, obscure easter eggs, scatalogical humour, and endless replayability. It certainly didn't take itself too seriously.

In that spirit, anytime your character is near a toilet, you get a button prompt to, well, poop. Using the prompt leads to a mini-game that challenges you to keep tapping the button until you, umm, finish. The game spares no effort to make this as ridiculous and gross as possible, sound effects included. At the end of it all, you're rewarded with what the game charmingly calls a 's**t nugget' for your inventory.

You can then use this nugget during combat as a projectile weapon to gross out your enemies and cause them to lose turns.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are goddamned geniuses.
