About
1 Guy 1 Jar, also known as "1 Guy 1 Cup," is a shock site featuring a video of a nude Russian man who sits on a glass jar which enters his rectum and breaks inside of him. Many YouTubers uploaded videos of themselves reacting to the footage, in a similar vein to the 2 Girls 1 Cup and 3 Guys 1 Hammer reaction videos.
Origin
On December 4th, 2008, the original video was uploaded to the adult media website eFukt.[1] As of March 2013, the site claims to have received over 6 million visits to the video page.
Spread
The day after the video was featured on eFukt, the Golf MKV Forums[4] member danger dan posted a link to the video, describing it as the “most disgusting thing” on the Internet. Within one week, the thread received over 125 replies. On December 8th, the eFukt page was linked in a thread submitted by Wu Tang Corp Forums[3] member JehovAllah, which gained more than 40 replies within 24 hours. On December 22nd, a reaction video was uploaded by YouTuber mdrproductionz, which accumulated upwards of 135,000 views and 1,100 comments in the following five years.
On August 20th, 2009, the single-serving site 1Man1Jar[7] was launched with an autoplaying embed of the original video. On February 4th, 2010, AnandTech Forums[6] member Barfo submitted a Q&A thread asking if the 1 Guy 1 Jar video was faked, to which several other users replied comparing the footage to “3 Guys 1 Hammer,” a video in which a man is bludgeoned to death on camera. On October 8th, 2012, Redditor grahvity submitted a post to the /r/vertical subreddit,[8] featuring a vertical four-pane comic using screen captures from the ABC television show Lost with captions describing the 1 Guy 1 Jar video in horror (shown below). Prior to being archived, the post received over 600 up votes and 25 comments.
On February 23rd, 2013, Redditor suthrnpride44 submitted a post to the /r/FiftyFifty subreddit,[5] with its title claiming to be either a screen capture of the 1 Guy 1 Jar aftermath or a photograph of a duckling. The post, which actually linked to an image of a swimming duck, gained more than 460 up votes and 10 comments in the next month.
Interview
On February 9th, 2009, the shock site Ow! My Ass![2] published an interview with Alex, which revealed that he was Russian, was twice married with two kids and worked as a sales manager.
Ow! My Ass!: Are you personally looking to become famous? Do you want the world to know you?
Alex: No.
Ow! My Ass!: A lot of people want to know who you are. We get dozens of emails everyday at 1guyand1cup.com. Who are you?
Alex: I'm just a manager, I'm married, and I'm not gay!
Ow! My Ass!: I think the most asked question is, "Why didn't you go to the hospital?"
Alex: I was afraid of what they might ask.
Ow! My Ass!: So, are you married? Does your wife know?
Alex: I have been married 2 times. The first marriage lasted 7 years. The current marriage has lasted 11. I have two boys also, they are ages 5 and 17. And my family doesn't know.
Ow! My Ass!: How long have you been sticking things in your anus?
Alex: I've been doing this for 12 years, I am 40 now. I started with a coke bottle. I hope to get larger objects than even the jar in the video soon.
Ow! My Ass!: So getting back to the hospital. Didn't it hurt? Why didn't you scream?
Alex: For three days it bleed. It hurt really bad for two weeks. I still have two shards of glass in my anus from it. I didn't scream because I didn't want my family to hear me. I was in pain. The new video is of me the day after cleaning it up in the shower.
Ow! My Ass!: How big was the jar?
Alex: 87 mm.
Ow! My Ass!: Is there anything else you would like people to know?
Alex: I uploaded this to let people know that sticking jars in your ass is dangerous. And because the video was really funny; well mostly because it's funny. Oh, I don't have scars on my ass. That was soap I used for lube.
I forgot. I prefer a glass jar because the dimension is constant. Plastic bottle (even full of water) no hard and this diameter may be various. This is important for measuring of record size.
Thanks Alex for your time and new video.
