Bachelor 1: You are NOT going to capture girls' hearts with "2 Girls, 1 cup" references. Not even because it's gross. But because it's just not funny anymore.

2 girls 1 cup is an extremely foul video; so base, in fact, that a vibrant online community has formed around videotaping peoples' reactions to watching it.

For the stout of heart:
