Blank Room Soup
Blank Room Soup is a creepypasta video from 2005 showing a censored-eyed man crying while eating chunky soup as two identical mascot-headed figures pat his back. The one-minute clip, originally titled 'freaky soup guy,' spawned deep web snuff-film rumors before being traced to stolen costumes from performance artist Raymond S. Persi's RayRay group1.
Overview
Blank Room Soup, also called Freaky Soup Guy, is a roughly one-minute video showing a man in a white tank top seated at a large table in an empty room, eating from a bowl with an oversized spoon while sobbing1. His eyes are hidden behind a black censor bar, and the audio of his crying is warped enough that some viewers hear it as laughter1. Behind him stands a humanoid figure with a hard, plastic-looking white face, hole-punched eyes, and no other features, dressed in a black shirt and trousers1.
The figure walks up and pats the man's back as he continues to eat and cry. A second identical mascot-headed character joins about three-quarters of the way through, mirroring the same gesture before the video cuts abruptly2. The lack of context, censored face, and unnatural comforting motion turned the Blank Room Soup clip into one of the most-shared entries in the early YouTube creepypasta canon3.
How It Spread
How to Use This Meme
The Blank Room Soup format typically shows a central seated figure eating or crying while one or two mascot-headed characters pat their back from behind. Redraws often keep the black censor bar over the eater's eyes and swap the RayRay heads for characters from another franchise while preserving the empty-room staging.
