==Origin==
The video originated from a [[Brazil]]ian distributor and filmographer, Marco Fiorito, who describes himself as a "compulsive [[Sexual fetishism|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]].

2 Girls 1 Cup is the unofficial nickname of the trailer for Hungry Bitches, a scat-fetish pornographic film produced by MFX Media.[1] The trailer features two women conducting themselves in fetishistic intimate relations, including defecating into a cup, taking turns ostensibly consuming the excrement, and vomiting it into each other's mouths. "Lovers Theme", from Hervé Roy's Romantic Themes, plays throughout.[2][3]

This one-minute trailer is a viral video that became a well-known Internet meme among bloggers and message boards for the reactions its graphic content elicited from viewers who have not seen such films before.[4][5] Around mid-October 2007, video sites such as YouTube were flooded with videos depicting others' reactions to watching the video for the first time.[6]

Reception

Reaction videos

Part of what has facilitated 2 Girls 1 Cup's spread are the reactions it causes.[7] Thousands of videos exist on YouTube of users showing the original video (off-camera) to their friends and taping their reactions, although some videos seem to be staged.[4][5][7] Even Joe Rogan, past host of Fear Factor, a show notorious for the disgusting things its contestants are forced to eat, had to turn away in a reaction video posted to his blog.[8] A reaction video starring a Kermit the Frog puppet proved very popular on the community-based popularity website Digg.[9] In January 2008, Slate magazine documented the reaction video phenomenon with a slideshow featuring various reactions.[10] Violet Blue, an author, described this website as becoming "the new 'tubgirl' and goatse all in one disgusting moment of choco-poo-love" in a San Francisco Chronicle article.[11] In the "2guys1podcast" episode of Put It In Your Ears, co-host Gavin St. Ours watches the video after claiming he never will, and his entire reaction is caught on tape.[12] "Genuine Nerd" Toby Radloff was so disgusted by the clip that he had to immediately watch it again.[13] Veteran porn star Ron Jeremy walked off while watching the video on The Playhouse. [14] Singer Wyclef Jean sat through the whole thing without looking away on The Playhouse while he was eating.[15] Ace Frehley, formerly of KISS, was shown the video on "The Opie and Anthony Show" in July 2009, and was unfazed, declaring, "Crazier things than that have happened on the road."[16]

Parodies

Culo A Boca, a band that performs a song "two girls one cup" that describes the contents of the film as a love song [17]. It was released on their self titled album in 2009. A short film by singer 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 feces.[18][19] 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, in the same style as the original video.[20] 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. It debuted in first place on January 27, 2008.[21] Canadian comedian Jon Lajoie also made a song named "2 Girls 1 Cup song", which described the activities in the video as if the two women were expressing their love for each other. The music video was instantly popular, gaining over 7 million views.[22]

Media recognition

In the media the video has been used as an example of the poor content quality of YouTube and similar video-sharing websites, and their tendency towards deliberately shocking content.[4][5][23] 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!"[24] 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".[25]

The video is mentioned during a cutaway of the Family Guy episode "Back to the Woods", where Brian shows the video to Stewie and films his reaction.[26]

The main characters of The Inbetweeners watch it at the beginning of episode 4, series 2.

In an episode of Tosh.0, the entire audience is filmed reacting to this video.[27]

In the Law and Order: SVU episode "Babes" (originally airing in 2008), Detective Munch references the video as a sign of society's declining morals. He is comparing it to fictional videos showing the beatings of New York homeless people that pertains to a case that the Special Victims Unit is working on.
