Just like traditional [[screamer]]s, shock sites have a goal to shock their viewers with unexpected content. Some famous examples of shock sites include [[2 Girls 1 Cup]], [[Jarsquatter]], [[1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick]], [[Kekma.net]], and [[Goatse]]. These websites have gained a high level of popularity since the late 20th century, and are often used as a practical joke.
