In malttukbakgi, there are two teams. Team A has one person standing up against the wall and the rest of the team has a head in the ass area/crotch of others to form what looks like a big horse. Team B then jumps onto one human horse after another, each jumping with as much power as possible. If someone from any team drops to the floor, the team loses. If everyone is awake, then the person who fights the wall and the person in front will play the game gawibawibo (rock, scissors, paper) to determine the winner.

In popular culture
Bill Cosby's 1967 album Revenge includes the song "Buck, Buck" in which he describes playing games as a child. He mentioned that in his hometown Philadelphia was called "Buck Buck," while in New York City was known as "Johnny on the Pony." The song introduces Fat Albert, "Buck Buck's the funniest breaker in the world," which "weighs 2,000 pounds" and can cause earthquakes when he runs down the street. The character will later become the basis for the cartoon series Fat Albert and Cosby Kids which includes episodes of buck buck (season 1 episode 6). The same story, in a slightly different form, is also included in Cosby's Childhood book.
In the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014, the heroes use the game of buck money as an attack which is the key to their defeat of the main villain.
