Back of the Y (also known as Back of the Y TV during series 1 and Back of the Y Masterpiece Television during series 2), is a cult New Zealand television series, created by Chris Stapp and Matt Heath. The show glorified Jackass-style stunts, the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol, casual violence and scatalogical or toilet humour. It took its name from being filmed in a building located close to the local YMCA, not from the Season 2 Hollywood special episode (which featured Randy Campbell jumping off the "Y" of the famous Hollywood Sign) as the show was already named prior to that episode.
