X Girls Y Cups
Also no results: 1girl10000cups, 2girls(5+3i)cups, 65536girls65536cups, or 3frenchhens2turtledoves1cup.
Title text: Also no results: 1girl10000cups, 2girls(5+3i)cups, 65536girls65536cups, or 3frenchhens2turtledoves1cup.

Explanation

The comic refers to "Hungry Bitches", a 2007 scat-fetish pornographic film. The one-minute preview, unofficially nicknamed "2 Girls 1 Cup", is a viral video that became a well-known internet meme. It is therefore not surprising that only the input combination of x=2 and y=1 generates a significant number of search results, being 257 times as frequent as the runner-up "1 Girl 1 Cup".

The title text suggests random numbers, including complex ones, of girls and cups with apparently no search results. The last phrase is a reference to the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. After the publication of this comic, the phrase has been cross-posted at various sites in order to generate search results and prove the statement in the title text wrong.

Discussion

This page is in the category Sex. I don't see anything about that topic here. Can someone explain? Matchups (talk) 14:49, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

If you don't see the connection between this and sex, you are one of the fortunate ones. Do not google it. There's not enough brain bleach in a swimming pool.
As mentioned here and in the Wikipedia article, 2 Girls 1 Cup is a trailer for a scat-fetish film, and it is at least intended to cause sexual arousal "if you like that sort of thing". Of course, not many people do. Mark Hurd (talk) 16:40, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

There are now 38 million google hits for 5 girls 6 cups. Someone should update the graphic. 199.27.128.141 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

IIRC unsigned short is *at least* 16 bits 108.162.215.120 04:46, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

I know it's utterly trivial, but I have to say it, so here goes: This is an English language wiki. No matter what your accent, it's thousands commas and decimal points, not the other way around. Thank you. Anonymous 20:59, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

PS: how did the white-on-black system used by many, if not most, if not all, non-English speakers come about? It just doesn't make intuitive sense to me. 173.245.49.121 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Well, here goes my response: Pretty much only the U.S. and U.K. uses commas. It’s an America/UK thing, not an English thing. Technically, it’s an imperial thing, and 0,5 would be metric, but semantics. Netherin5 (talk) 14:00, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
But Australia (and I'm assuming NZ) is a fully metric country that uses dots for decimals. I cannot think of an English-speaking country that uses commas, that's pretty much a European thing. 172.69.135.92 03:34, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Here in South Africa we use the decimal comma. -- The Cat Lady (talk) 10:12, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Did anyone else see the title and hope "Y cups" would turn out to be a bra size? Promethean (talk) 14:16, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

x is left-right and y up-down. just saying. --141.101.98.184 13:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Amusing side note: as of today, "7 girls 7 cups" has 7 results.  :-) 172.71.151.40 (talk) 19:51, 30 November 2022 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

As of now, 5 girls 6 cups has 100 million more results than 2 girls 1 cup. Got dang. Me[citation needed] 07:57, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Should probably also mention that 1 girl 1 cup has 1.2 billion results and also says that safe search is off (2 girls 1 cup doesn't). Me[citation needed] 07:57, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
