About

Gas Station Pump Guy, also known as Man Sticking Gas Pump Up Butt or simply The Gas Station Video, is a viral video of a man in Italy sticking the nozzle end of a gas pump into his anus at an IP gas station. The shock media quickly went viral after appearing on social media in mid-May 2024, with many people disgusted at the act as his pants were pulled down and he was masturbating at the same time. As more people watched the clip, reactions and memes to it began to spread similarly to The Horse Video, with each new meme reacting to it and thus helping it spread.

Origin

On May 12th, 2024, Italian X user @cambiacasacca^[1] posted a video of a man attempting to pleasure himself while having the nozzle of a gas station pump inserted into his rear end with his left hand on the pump and his right hand touching himself. After the person recording begins to chide the old man, he can be seen quickly looking over shocked, before putting the pump back on its holder and the video ending.

X user @cambiacasacca's^[1] video received an unknown amount of likes because it was later deleted by the author. However, quote retweets ^[2] of the video and viral replies^[3][4] (example shown below) are still accessible on the platform, showing that the video was posted sometime on or before the morning of May 12th.
