This one-minute trailer is an [[Internet]] [[viral video]] that became a well-known Internet [[meme]] among [[bloggers]] and [[Internet forums]] for the reactions its graphic content elicited from its viewers.<ref name=msnbc>{{cite news|first=Helen|last=Popkin|title=The Internet can’t replace TV — yet |publisher=msnbc.com |url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21940676/|date=November 27, 2007|accessdate=2007-12-07}}</ref><ref name=McGill>{{cite news|first=Kathryn|last=Amey|title=POP RHETORIC: Cute with Chris vs 2 girls, 1 cup |publisher=The McGill Tribune |url=http://media.www.mcgilltribune.com/media/storage/paper234/news/2007/12/04/AE/Pop-Rhetoric.Cute.With.Chris.Vs.2.Girls.1.Cup-3129312.shtml|date=December 4, 2007|accessdate=2007-12-07}}</ref> Around mid-October 2007, video sites such as [[YouTube]] were flooded with videos depicting others' reactions to watching the video for the first time.<ref name=karina>{{cite news|first=Karina|last=Longworth|title=Karina’s Capsule: 2 Girls 1 Cup Reactions|publisher=NewTeeVee|url=http://newteevee.com/2007/11/20/karinas-capsule-2-girls-1-cup-reactions/|date=November 20, 2007|accessdate=2007-12-07}}</ref> |

==Origin== |
|||
The video originated from a [[Brazil]]ian, Marco Fiorito, who describes himself as a "compulsive fetishist".<ref name=smokinggun>{{cite news |title=2 Girls, 1 Cup: The Real Poop |publisher=[[The Smoking Gun]]|url=http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/1130071onecup1.html |date=November 30, 2007 |accessdate=2007-12-07}}</ref> Fiorito originally produced [[Foot fetishism|foot fetish]] videos but soon moved on to [[coprophagia]]. The film was produced by MFX-Video, one of several companies owned by Fiorito.<ref name=smokinggun /> Fiorito contends his films are legal in Brazil, but authorities in the [[United States]] have branded some of his films as obscene and filed charges against Danilo Croce, a Brazilian lawyer living in Florida, listed as an officer of a company distributing Fiorito's films in the United States.<ref name=smokinggun /> Croce accepted a [[plea bargain]] and was sentenced to 3 years of unsupervised probation and forfeiture of $98,000.<ref name=smokinggun /> Fiorito claimed he did not know his films were illegal in the United States and that his films often contained [[chocolate]] instead of [[feces]] to appease some of his actors who were willing to appear in scat films but not actually eat fecal matter.<ref name=smokinggun /> |

The first few seconds of the 2 Girls 1 Cup video contain the text "MFX 1209" (the product code for ''Hungry Bitches'') and the [[URL]] mfxvideos.com, the website of Fiorito's MFX-Video, leading some in the media to incorrectly believe the video is one of the many Croce had to surrender to the [[United States Department of Justice|Department of Justice]] but was somehow leaked in the process.<ref name=radar>{{cite news |first=Steve |last=Huff |title=2 Girls, 1 Former Attorney General |publisher=Radar Magazine |url=http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2007/11/2-girls-1-former-attorney-general.php |date=November 29, 2007 |accessdate=2007-12-08}}</ref><ref name=anorak>{{cite news |title=Two Girls One Cup: Danilo Simoes Croce |publisher=Anorak News |url=http://www.anorak.co.uk/twitterings/178072.html |date=December 1, 2007 |accessdate=2007-12-08}}</ref> |

===Parodies=== |

The video has inspired several parodies, such as a short film by [[singer]] and [[comedian]] [[John Mayer]] to his blog entitled "2 Guys 1 Cup" where Mayer and ''[[Best Week Ever]]'' correspondent [[Sherrod Small]] enjoy [[Pinkberry]] [[frozen yogurt]] in the same manner that the women in the original consumed the fecal matter.<ref name=chartattack>{{cite news|first=Ben|last=Conoley|title=John Mayer Enters Food Porn World With "2 Guys 1 Cup"|publisher=Chart Attack|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/44822/john-mayer-enters-food-porn-world-with-2-guys-1-cup|date=November 8, 2007|accessdate=2007-12-08}}</ref><ref name=mayer>[http://www.johnmayer.com/blog#1560 johnmayer.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Celebrity blogger [[Perez Hilton]] also made a parody titled "1 Guy 1 Jar", which he posted to YouTube, and began to eat [[peanut butter]] out of the jar, obviously in the same way of the original video.<ref name=smokinggun /> Filmmakers Justin Roiland and Christian Le Guilloux made a 5-minute series called "2 Girls, 1 Cup: The Show" for the short film competition site, [[Channel 101]].

===Media recognition=== |
|||
Many in the media have taken the video's popularity as a sign of society's declining [[Morality|moral]]s.<ref name=msnbc /><ref name=McGill/><ref>{{cite news |first=Lynn |last=Crosbie |title=Unleashing our inner demons, site by sickening site |publisher=Globe and Mail |url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080310.crosbie11/BNStory/Front/ |date=2008-03-10 |accessdate=2008-03-16}}</ref> The video was featured on [[VH1]]'s ''[[Best Week Ever]]'', where the video's existence and propagation was declared to cause "Moral Bankruptcy" to have the "Best Week Ever!"<ref>[http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1574705&vid=190222 Watch Best Week Ever: Full Act 4 | View Original Reality TV Shows | VH1.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ''[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]'' magazine showed the video to actor [[George Clooney]] during an interview, prompting him to compare it to a rodeo, saying the point of the video was to see "how long you can last."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.celebitchy.com/9932/esquire_journalist_gets_george_clooney_to_watch_2_girls_1_cup/ |title=Esquire journalist gets George Clooney to watch “2 Girls, 1 Cup” |accessdate=2008-06-05}}</ref> The video was also mentioned in an episode of ''[[Back to the Woods (Family Guy)|Family Guy]]'', as a set up for a joke. Stewie is shown watching the video on the computer with Brian behind him telling him to keep watching. Stewie is disgusted and says: "I'm never gonna be able to eat ice cream again!" Another reference can be seen in the movie ''[[Superhero Movie]]'': Rick Riker, while browsing the internet, sees a scrambled clip where [[Professor Xavier]] tells him, among other things: ''<static> squatting on a glass table <static> two girls <static> one cup <static>'' Also, In the popular [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] video game, the host of the radio program ''Integrity 2.0'' makes reference to 2 Girls 1 Cup.
