Back in 2007, a man called Marco Fiorito released his directorial masterpiece, Hungry Bitches, which the internet would soon know as 2 Girls 1 Cup. It was a Brazilian scat fetish porno that took the internet by storm, but while everyone and their grandmother was sharing the video with each other in disbelief, the Gen Z PEDESTRIAN.TV staff members were still watching Saturday Disney and feeding their Tamagotchis, blissfully unaware.
In case you missed the hype all those years ago, 2 Girls 1 Cup is about two horny lasses who like each other so much they decide to eat each other’s shit out of a cup. Yes, that is literally the movie. (Not so) fun fact: someone did a deep dive into the video and discovered that the shit was indeed, real.
So why did we decide to watch people eat shit? Well, after a casual and very normal zoom meeting amongst the PEDESTRIAN.TV staff, the team realised that Gen Z staffers: Saskia, Lav and Michael (that’s me) hadn’t seen 2 Girls 1 Cup, because we were little bebes at the time. That’s when we regretfully decided to watch it together, and that’s an hour we’ll never get back. AND WE MEAN NEVER.
Luckily for you, you get to watch our SFW reaction right here:
And here’s some commentary from two of our Gen Z / Cusper staff members, Saskia and Michael.
SASKIA: It was off to a good start in the beginning. The opening credits looked like they were made on something a little more advanced than Windows Movie Maker. I really appreciated the dynamic camera movements. There’s nothing worse than watching porn that uses a still long shot. Like, where are the angles baby?
MICHAEL: The scenery? Magnificent. The opening shots? Really gave you a feel for the actors and how passionate they were about the project. My biggest question however is why they were filming in a kitchen? Was it to foreshadow the idea that they were about to (metaphorically) cook up a storm? Much to think about.
SASKIA: But then shit happened…literally. It was a lot. I really didn’t expect her to fill the whole cup. The fecal matter was also quite runny, so I’m assuming there were some laxatives involved in the process.
MICHAEL: You can’t really see my reactions because I’m on Shaky Cam 3000, but I was there, gagging (literally) at the fact that these established porn stars were consuming shit before our very eyes. Also, it was SO much? I mean, I’ve seen the NSFW music video for Brendan Maclean‘s ‘House of Air’ but this takes things to a whole other level.
SASKIA: I could handle the shit, but when they started vomiting into each other’s mouths I realised why people warned me not to watch. All I can say is that I’m just glad I didn’t watch this when I was ten, because I would’ve been severely traumatised. The Human Centipede trailer alone gave me nightmares for weeks.
MICHAEL: It was 100% the vomiting for me. At least when they were shovelling crap into their faces you could assume that it was fake and trick your brain into not being grossed out. Vomiting however is just never fake, and seeing them do it over and over just made me want to vom. Even writing about it makes me feel ILL.
SASKIA: Towards the end of 2 Girls 1 Cup is when I started to feel severely unwell. As you can see, I was literally retching and my eyes were watering like crazy. Funnily enough, the following week I was home sick. Coincidence, I think not.
MICHAEL: So many parts of this video were just so excessive, that you had to watch but also felt sick being an onlooker. I mean, the soup they make at the end and start mixing? Sometimes the gift of sight was a mistake.
SASKIA: At this point, I’m starting to think that it’s less of a porno and more of a scat film. I’m not saying that I wanted to see more of the porn part, but it would’ve been way better than watching people eat poo and vomit. Also, one of the actresses (a stretch, I know) pretty much has their clothes on for the whole movie. Surely, if you’re willing to lick poo, you would be pretty comfortable getting your kit off, no?
MICHAEL: Big agree with Sas here. The video is barely a porno? I mean, they kiss at the beginning, and they’re both clearly porn stars, but a majority of the vid is just all the shock value stuff. Not very fun, and not very sexy.
SASKIA: 2 Girls 1 Cup ended on a nice medium shot with a fade to black. To be honest, I wouldn’t have chosen that transition myself, as it’s a bit tacky. But then again it was 2007… and incredibly low-budget.
Final thoughts
SASKIA (MARGARET): All in all, it did exceed my expectations. It was way more disgusting than I expected.
2/5 cinematography – For a one-camera setup, it was pretty good.
2/5 plot – I was not expecting the vomit, so that was a nice touch.
0/5 character development – I didn’t see much of a character arc for either of the women, if any at all.
1/5 acting – I wasn’t buying their chemistry. Quite frankly, they looked like they didn’t want to be there at all.
1/5 sound – You can clearly tell they didn’t use any proper audio equipment. They probably used the camera’s inbuilt mic. Rookie mistake.
2/5 editing – I wasn’t a fan of the transitions, and the cuts were way too jarring for my liking.
MICHAEL (DAVID): Thanks Margaret. 2 Girls 1 Cup, wow, what a moment. A moment I will never forget. A moment that is most displeasing to me in my career. Such a gross video, and an absolute monolith of internet history. Glad I watched, but still so scarred.
4/5 cinematography – The camera operator was doing backflips, frontflips and tumble rolls to get as many shots as they did, so kudos to them. Did we need the coochie close-up shots? Absolutely not. But hey, credit where credit is due.
1/5 plot – Why are they in a kitchen??? Are they chefs??? Is this their day off duty???
0/5 character development – Who are these women and what are their goals and aspirations? I wanted to really connect with these people, but alas, I got nothing.
3/5 acting – Honestly, they really got into it, which is something to be impressed about. If what they were consuming was real, then points to them for acting like they loved it so much. It really added to the fucked factor.
0/5 sound – Half the time all you could hear were retches and moans. Retches and moans. No thx.
4/5 editing – Whoever had to edit 2 Girls 1 Cup together is literally a saint.
