Why is "No" used here and not "doesn't"?

Question

In this video, He says "My butt no butt". From what i understand, he's saying that his 'butt' doesn't meddle in other people's problems (Doesn't butt). I have seen "No" followed by nouns (As in "No problem - No cookies before dinners" and other sentences like that) but never followed by a verb. Is this just something idiomatic or just a way of talking?

"My butt doesn't butt" would be the way to say this in standard English. In this scene, the writers use a non-standard phrasing to make the sentence sound funnier — two of the four words are "butt." This phrasing sounds like an imitation of the way a young child or an English-language learner might say this.
