The original Butfartman.

Butfartman first joined the P4A during the 2014 livestream. Destin was exploring Australian money with a microscope and discovered “BUT FAR T” as part of a poem on the 10 dollar note. Meanwhile, Destin had sent Hank two jerseys and Hank decided to wear one normally and the other on his legs, thus creating Butfartman. A full exploration of Butfartman Lore can be found here.

During the 2015 P4A, Butfartman visited for a while trying to raise funds.

At NerdCon: Nerdfighteria in 2017, a Butfartman meetup was held. Many Nerdfighters created their interpretations of Butfartman and became a parade through part of the convention center.

2024: Much of this P4A had a variety of mascots battling for supremacy. This battle divided chat but all were unified in the appearance of Butfartman late Saturday night.
