The Urethra Chronicles is a 1999 documentary film about the American pop punk band Blink-182. The film, directed by former manager Rick DeVoe, is a behind-the-scenes look at the band's history featuring their usual toilet humor. The documentary includes exclusive live performance footage and music videos.

The film was released on November 30, 1999 on VHS and May 2, 2000 for DVD. A sequel, The Urethra Chronicles II: Harder, Faster Faster, Harder, was released in 2002.

Background

The film explores the lives of Blink-182 members Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker. The film features footage shot over many years: for example, stunts shot by Hoppus and DeLonge during the recording of sophomore effort Dude Ranch in 1996 open up the film.[1] The film was completed in fall of 1999, shortly before Blink-182 set off on tour with Silverchair. The original title of the documentary was The Diary of the Butt. Hoppus, in a 1999 interview with the MTV Radio Network, described the production as "...a look back, and also a look ahead."[2]
