Buck buck
Buck buck (also known as Johnny-on-a-Pony or Johnny-on-the-Pony) is a children's game with several variants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=buck buck )〕 One version of the game is played when "one player climbs another’s back" and the climber guesses "the number of certain objects out of sight."〔 Another version of the game is played with "one group of players () on the backs of a second group in order to build as large a pile as possible or to cause the supporting players to collapse."〔
As early as the 16th century, children in Europe and the Near East played Buck, Buck, which had been called "''Bucca Bucca quot sunt hic?''". Pieter Bruegel's painting "Children's Games" (1560) depicts children playing a variant of the game.
==In popular culture==
Bill Cosby's 1967 album ''Revenge'' includes a track "Buck, Buck" in which he describes playing the game as a child. He mentions that in his hometown of Philadelphia it was called "Buck Buck," while in New York City it was known as "Johnny on the Pony." This track introduces Fat Albert, "the baddest Buck Buck breaker in the world," who "weighed 2,000 pounds" and could cause earthquakes when he ran down the street. The character would later become the basis for the cartoon series ''Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids'' which includes a buck buck episode (season 1 episode 6). The same story, in a slightly different form, is also included in Cosby's book ''Childhood''.
In the 2014 ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' film, the heroes use a game of buck buck as an attack that is key to their defeat of the main villain.〔M. Enois Duarte, "(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) (Dolby Atmos) )", ''High-Def Digest'' (December 17th, 2014).〕
