Listen up, buttercup. This "joke" is all about wordplay. A "butt-ton" sounds like a whole lot of weight, and "butt" refers to the rear end. The joke is funny because it combines these two meanings in a silly way to explain why the button can't get off the couch. You know, you are heavier than you look.
