History Main / Shocksite

Some new media exists almost exclusively for {{troll}}ing. These sites are designed to be shown to others as pranks as their extreme {{Squick}}yness is so toxic that the look on someone's face when they see one is a form of entertainment in and of itself. The best have earned a BrownNote-like reputation, while some extend the prank by locking your browser if you try to close the website, forcing you to close through Task Manager...and some of them don't even let you do that.

RickRoll can be considered the good-hearted, harmless cousin of these sites.[[hottip:*:(That was probably not the brightest thing you've ever done.)]]

* The [[spoiler:burning]] cat video, which [[MemeticMutation not even]] ''{{Doom}}'' [[MemeticMutation music]] can justify. When Anonymous found out about it, [[InternetCounterattack they made their wrath felt]].

** The very last image? [[spoiler:[[TakeThat George W. Bush]].]]

* ''Meatspin'', which comes complete with a counter to tell you how many revolutions of the penis you have endured. After 45 spins, [[spoiler:a gray box appears telling you that "YOU ARE OFFICIALLY GAY"]]. Some fun facts about this loop:

** The guy on the top is actually a pre-op transsexual.

** [[SchmuckBait So what does Meatspin show, anyway?]]

* ''2 Girls 1 Cup'', aka "Cupchicks". You will have trouble [[spoiler:eating]] '''for days''' after watching this. Especially anything that [[spoiler:looks like chocolate]]. Probably the only good things to arise from this are the [[CrowningMomentofFunny very hilarious]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AplLbKJQUw0 reaction videos.]]

* ''Kids in a Sandbox''. A girl [[spoiler:jackhammers a dildo into]] a guy[[spoiler:'s urethra. ''Hard'']]. You are allowed to sit in the corner and [[TearsOfFear cry like a baby now]].

* "Snuff films! Do not! Exist!" :bang: (obviously fake)

* The [[spoiler:burning]] cat video, which not even ''{{Doom}}'' music can justify. When Anonymous found out about it, [[InternetCounterattack they made their wrath felt]].

RickRoll can be considered the good-hearted, harmless cousin of these sites. [[hottip:* : That was probably not the brightest thing you've ever done.]]

* ''Goatse.cx'' is the most famous example...although it's only one of a series. If you want to see all of them (and seriously, [[SarcasmMode who doesn't?]]), look up "Goatse Marathon". ''Very carefully.''

** The oldest survivor of [[http://www.birminghampost.net/news/west-midlands-health-news/2008/05/09/nelly-is-a-real-diamond-girl-65233-20886612/ Harlequin Ichthyosis]]. One must admire her bravery and her fortune in surviving this massively-fatal ailment, but dear Lord, [[UnderStatement you would be somewhat shocked]] if you were ever to see her walking down the street.

* [[http://www.rotten.com Rotten.com]], one of the original shock-sites, is today mostly inactive and superseded by the above, below, and others as yet uncatalogued here. They still update from time to time with fresh corpses and the aftermaths of [[UnderStatement extremely uncomfortable]] accidents. They also have a rather large [[http://www.rotten.com/library/ encyclopedia]] (warning: some parts may be {{NSFW}}) that can best be described as "what TheOtherWiki would look like if it had been written by [[HunterSThompson Hunter S. Thompson]]."
* Another collection site: dontclickthis.whatingods.name. Their logo is of a stick figure sitting in front of a computer screen and [[BrainBleach blinding itself with scissors.]]

* ''1 Guy 2 Needles''. Two hypodermic needles, two balls... you can see where this is going. Although this isn't new -- IggyPop was injecting heroin into his balls in TheSeventies.
* ''Man Gems'' is a repeating clip of a guy getting [[GroinAttack kneed and kicked in the balls]] over and over.
* ''Mylazysundays'' is similar to ''Lemonparty'' only with four old guys in a shower, and the browser screen bounces around.

** TheOtherWiki says this about the director of the video: [[spoiler:"...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."]]

* ''Mr. Hands'', aka "[[InterSpeciesRomance 1 Man 1 Horse]]". The guy who starred in that video died of "internal bleeding" (not from the incident in the video, but from a separate, albeit similar, incident).

* ''1 Man 1 Jar''. Guess where the glass jar goes...and what happens afterward. Ouch. Someone's gonna be needing [[spoiler:a colostomy bag]]. The same guy did ''1 Man 1 Screwdriver'', so if you thought the first was bad... ED managed to track down the guy and actually got an interview with him; evidently, he likes that kind of thing.

** The studio that made it also made ''2 Girls 1 Cup'' (which is just a trailer for a full-length video) and hundreds of other similar [[spoiler:scat and puke]] movies. And indeed, ''Swap.avi'' was so bad it produced a collective MyGodWhatHaveIDone from SomethingAwful, which is '''damn hard to do'''.

** A joke article on the SCPFoundation wiki mentions this being one of [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-wtf SCP-WTF]]'s forms (this link is worksafe), along with half the other examples on this page. Though SCP-WTF prefers ''Goatse''. The Foundation's description of ''2 Girls 1 Cup'' is:

* "Charonboat.com" is a collection site similar to rotten.com in that it has pics and videos of some [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horrific deaths]] from around the world, various [[{{NSFW}} shock]] [[{{Gorn}} images]], [[NauseaFuel and]] [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel more]]. No, it has nothing to do with that [[GreekMythology Charon Boat]].

* Another variation is the "When you see it, you'll shit bricks" series of {{Fauxtivational Poster}}s. In them, an image is shown and the viewer has to look for what is wrong with it. The realization is so sudden that it startles the viewer. Some are funny, some are disgusting, but most work much like, though not as well as, a screamer. Shitbrix.com is a website that collects them.
** You sure of that? Many people can't get more than a "meh" upon finding it.

* Subverted in ''MontyPython'', who wanted to make a sketch where the sound volume will be gradually lowered during a sketch so the viewers would turn the volume to the maximum. After that, they wanted to produce a very loud sound. Of course, they weren't allowed to do so for some strange reason...

* ''2 Girls 1 Cup'', aka "Cupchicks". You will have trouble eating '''for days''' after watching this. Especially anything that [[spoiler:looks like chocolate.]] Probably the only good things to arise from this are the [[CrowningMomentofFunny very hilarious]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AplLbKJQUw0 reaction videos.]]

** George Clooney [[http://www.esquire.com/features/george-clooney-2-girls-1-cup-0408-3 compared the video to a rodeo]] ("see how long you can last").

* ''Kids in a Sandbox''. A girl [[spoiler:jackhammers a dildo into]] a guy[[spoiler:'s urethra. ''Hard''.]] You are allowed to sit in the corner and [[TearsOfFear cry like a baby now.]]

* ''1 Man 1 Jar''. Guess where the glass jar goes... and what happens afterward. Ouch. Someone's gonna be needing [[spoiler:a colostomy bag]]. The same guy did ''1 Man 1 Screwdriver'', so if you thought the first was bad... ED managed to track down the guy and actually got an interview with him; evidently, he likes that kind of thing.

* Many argue that the dubious title of Most Shocking Shock Video may just go to the infamous ''SWAP.avi''. Lasting 60 unbearable minutes, and filled with people who somehow agreed to doing it, it's said to be best described as ''2 Girls 1 Cup'' turned [[UpToEleven up all the way to 20.]] The true horror of it defies description, but if you are '''really''' curious then [[http://www.somethingawful.com/d/horrors-of-porn/horrible-saga-swapavi.php?page=1 here's a text-only breakdown]] on SomethingAwful (which is also to blame for the horrific thing being made in the first place).

* ''AMVHell 0'' and ''AMVHell /0'', while not as bad as some of these examples, are still pretty bad. ''/0'' uses jokes about {{Gorn}} and the likes of ''{{Hellsing}}'' and ''ElfenLied'' as [[BreatherEpisode breather clips]] from the disturbing pornographic clips.
* The [[spoiler:burning]] cat video, which not even ''{{Doom}}'' music can justify. When Anonymous found out about it, [[InternetCounterattack they made their wrath felt.]]

* ''Kids in a Sandbox''. A girl [[spoiler:jackhammers a dildo into]] a guy[[spoiler:'s urethra. ''Hard''.]] You are allowed to sit in the corner and [[ManlyTears cry like a baby now.]]

->''"[[{{Understatement}} It's pretty gross, but here we go...]]"''
-->[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5VGJFEsy40 This poor fucker about to view 2kids1sandbox.]]

->'''"Aaaah. OH. OOOOOOOUUGGGGH. OH NO! NO!! NO!!! NO! OH, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! ARGH!! OH, DON'T DO IT AGAIN- EEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGG!!''' '''''WHY?! AHAHAHAO... I DON'T - NO!!! WHY ARE THEY PLAYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN?!?! STOP!!!"'''''
-->The same poor fucker, a few seconds later.

* Not aiming for {{Squick}} but rather HighOctaneNightmareFuel, there are "screamers" -- pages that sucker you into letting your guard down and then hit you with frightening imagery and a loud scream when you're not expecting it. Most of them are in the form of "What's wrong with this picture?", but probably the best known is the video ''Kikia''.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OWmpnNJqbQ This video]] is an inversion, showing an entire row of creepy pictures with creepy music in the background, and even scaring you at least twice before ending with [[spoiler:a picture of an old lady knitting, accompanied by a loud noise.]]

* ''Church of Fudge'', aka "1 Priest 1 Nun". A priest, a nun, and something that looks like it came from the same guys who made ''2 Girls 1 Cup''...but is actually German, and worse if you understand the dialogue.

** Take it from me, it's not that bad.

RickRoll can be considered the good-hearted, harmless cousin of these sites.

** The guy on the top is actually a pre-op transsexual, making it only half-gay.
