Boneless pizza all started with a prank call: “Can I get that pizza … boneless?”

Ordering “boneless pizza” is one of those teen pranks with a dad-joke sensibility. It’s totally innocent and totally stupid, which makes it hard not to laugh, even if you’re the poor pizzeria employee on the other end of the line. Now that boneless pizza is everywhere, a real meme phenomenon, let’s talk about how it started and how it blew up the internet this summer.

The creator of boneless pizza is a YouTuber who goes by (Lord)Sethical. Here’s the video that introduced the joke to the world, scoring more than 2 million views in the process.

The character ordering the pizza in the video is “Baku,” (Lord)Sethical’s version of the witch doctor character Aku Aku from the Crash Bandicoot video game franchise, and the conversation is based on a prank Sethical pulled in real life.

“Honestly, it was a joke between me and my friends a few months ago, and I had actually ordered a pizza once and asked to get it boneless,” he told the Daily Dot. “Then I made the video just because I thought it would be a funny recreation of that.”

He said the video was a “very much exaggerated” version of the actual call he placed.

“I actually did get the pizza delivered, unlike Baku.”

The video was so popular that Sethical expanded it into a whole series of videos, all starring Baku. “Baku Adventures” typically involve some kind of food order, and sometimes it’s boneless. The videos also frequently make reference to other memes, including “understandable, have a great day” and “yaint.” They’re presented in a “deep-fried” style, characterized by distorted video and blown-out audio. Other common threads include mentioning Kanye West’s Yeezy shoe line and using the word “deadass.”
