2 Girls 1 Cup
2 Girls 1 Cup is a copy of the trailer for Hungry Bitches, a pornographic film produced by MFX-Media, with the URL "2girls1cup.com" superimposed under the pre-existing text "MFX 1209" (the product code for Hungry Bitches). The trailer features two women defecating and vomiting into a cup, taking turns consuming the excrement, and vomiting into each other's mouths. Hervé Roy's "Lovers Theme" plays throughout.
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. Around mid-October 2007, video sites such as YouTube were flooded with videos depicting others' reactions to watching the video for the first time.

Media recognition
Many in the media have taken the video's popularity as a sign of society's declining morals. 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!" 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."
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. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton also made a parody titled "1 Guy 1 Jar", which he posted to YouTube. 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.
