If you’ve spent any amount of time on the interwebs, there’s a good chance you’ve heard murmurs about one internet’s most notorious legends — Tubgirl. For some, the mere mention of it conjures memories of early internet shock culture; for others, it’s just another creepy urban legend that went viral courtesy of TikTok.
Either way, Tubgirl has permanently slotted herself into the pantheon of the web’s wild west era. So, let’s look into what happened, what set it off and why the story will not die.
A Blast From the Early 2000s: The Wild Web Era
Before social media buffed the internet to a corporate-friendly sheen, the web of the early 2000s was an alluringly chaotic mess. It was an era when websites such as Junction and Tubgirl. com in articles ranging from dark comedy to flat-out nightmare fare. Junction was, as one user put it, the area where people posted “funny stuff and messed-up stuff.” And let me tell you, they were not kidding.
Somewhere in this madness, a picture was formed — and that very image happened to be dubbed Tubgirl. No one has any idea where it came from. Most say it was originally introduced on Junction, though some argue that it propagated through shock sites such as Tubgirl. com. Whichever way it went down, the image soon took on an infamous life of its own, making its rounds through message boards and email forwards until it entered the annals of early internet legend.
Over time, even the sites which originally hosted it have also changed direction –most are now generic adult sites. But the Tubgirl legacy remained, like some other so-called “old meme” that just can’t be wiped off the face of the Earth.
The Second Image and Theories
Fast forward to 2007 — some years after the initial horror hit the streets — when a second image emerged. It seemed to depict the same woman, in the same tub and nearly identical pose. The difference? Instead of the mask she had fishnets, red lace — and a blindfold. This time, her genitalia was covered by a drawing on a piece of paper, and the … um, chaos was even more chaotic.
Some internet historians argue this could’ve been an early version, chaos of the original photo if you will, while others see it as a deliberate sequel. Either way, it relaunched conversations about the true identity of the woman behind the mask as well as the strange significance of that scene.
TikTok Revives Tubgirl from the Dead
Just when we thought we’d seen the last of Tubgirl, TikTok brought her back to life. In 2021 and 2022, for some odd reason, users began recording their faces before and after viewing the notorious image. The results? Two houses in Texas have stolen the title of most bizarre 15 seconds ever caught on tape. The meme went viral, and for a new generation of interney users, Tubgirl was their introduction to the old-school shock culture of the internet.
This resurgence was a reminder that the early web wasn’t just about cat videos and MySpace layouts — it was anarchic anarchy. Folks would find stuff with no warnings or age restrictions. You clicked on something you shouldn’t have and had to learn the hard way.

The Purported Tubgirl Interview - Fact or Fiction?
Well, through all of that there’s something else to highlight — an interview with the person who is Tubgirl? Only in Church Nobody knows if it’s real or just an elaborate hoax, but it’ll give you something to think about this weekend. In the alleged conversation, the woman calls herself “Tubgirl,” adding that she’d organised the performance for months. With it, the mask offered her anonymity and transmuted her into an archetype — “I could be any woman — your wife, your mother, your sister, or the Virgin Mary,” she said.
She even offered that the shocking images had a deeper meaning: “The gush of diarrhea is symbolic — it’s about excrement, joy and happiness… circle of life from anus to mouth.” Well … so it can be seen. She called it commentary on the way women are dehumanized, sexualized and deprived of identity for art in media.
If the interview is to be believed, it recasts Tubgirl not as a mere shock photo, but as an odd stab at performance art — one that sought to comment both on womanhood and body politics. However, if it’s fake (which it almost certainly is), it’s still a weirdly poetic reimagining of one of the internet’s most gross artifacts.
Anatomy of the Image (Not for the Squeamish)
(If you’ve never seen the image — and, really, it’s for the best — here is the classroom-friendly version: a woman in a tub with her body cut in half, legs draped over her head, wearing white stockings and some kind of mask.) The infamous part? Big brown orange spray shooting up and hitting her in the face. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. The picture became one of those “don’t look up” challenges that plagued forums for years.
It’s gross, absurd, and yet weirdly intriguing in how it became an icon of early internet shock. People weren’t just horrified — they were intrigued. Why would someone do this? Who was behind it? What did it mean?
Why Tubgirl Still Matters, In a Weird Way
You might think of Tubgirl as just another gross artifact from a grimier part of the internet, but it actually has something interesting to say about how online culture has changed. Back then, the web was a jungle — people experimented to see what they could get away with. Tubgirl, Lemon Party, Goatse … these were not just random shock memes; they were part of a much broader revolt against censorship, norms and politeness.
In its own warped way, the character of Tubgirl epitomizes that era’s rawness — the good, the bad and the downright gross. Today, the web is more sanitized. The likes of TikTok and Instagram couldn’t last five minutes under the kind of pandemonium that characterized the message boards in millennium’s earliest years. But Tubgirl? She’s still there, hiding in whispers and reactions, a reminder of what the internet used to look like before corporate filters and algorithms seized control.

And Now, the Internet’s Dark Comedy
In the end, Tubgirl is horrific and hilarious: a grotesque cocktail of shock art, internet history and meme culture. Intended or not as an artistic statement, or simply as something to screw with people’s heads, it became a crucible for early internet adventurers.
So, if you do see her name crop up again, take it as an artifact of digital archaeology — a fossil from the wild west of the early internet that helped shape what ours shows us today.
