Overview

Woman Pelted With Eggs And Water, better known as Xiao Xiaoru Getting Egged, is a short clip of Chinese beauty influencer Zhang Manru (小小如) standing on a red carpet as an angry-looking crowd hurls eggs and buckets of water at her1. In the full version she calmly pulls out her cosmetics and touches up her face, revealing the whole thing is a staged advertisement for her makeup line1.

The version that actually went viral cuts off before the reveal, leaving only the woman getting pelted2. That truncated clip works as a reaction video, usually paired with a caption about airing an unpopular opinion or being socially punished for something trivial3. The absurd volume of eggs and water flying at one composed woman in a gown is what gives the reaction its charge.

The clip was first posted on February 25th, 2023, to Chinese short-video app Douyin by beauty influencer Xiao Xiaoru, whose real name is Zhang Manru3. Two days later, on February 27th, Twitter user Cathy (@jewel2010222) reuploaded the full advertisement to Twitter, where it collected more than 3.7 million views1.

At that stage the clip was still circulating with its punchline intact, framed as a clever piece of Chinese ad craft rather than a reaction template1.

How It Spread

On March 1st, 2023, Twitter user mina (@HOBlTAE) posted a shortened edit that stopped before the makeup reveal, keeping only the moment Xiao Xiaoru gets drenched. That upload picked up over 18 million views in a single week3.

Over the following days, English-language Twitter treated the cut as a reaction video for feeling personally attacked over harmless preferences. On March 3rd, em (@uhhmmily) tweeted the clip captioned about no one asking what song she just played on aux, pulling roughly 11,000 retweets and 135,000 likes3. Musician Left at London (@LeftAtLondon) posted it on March 4th to joke about ordering coleslaw as a side, drawing around 400 retweets and 9,000 likes in five days3.

K-pop Twitter picked it up especially hard, using it to declare unpopular group and song preferences. On March 6th, misa (@JUNIYE0) used the clip to announce she liked both TXT and Enhypen3, and on March 4th criss (@dalsogucci) posted it about enjoying LOONA's Flip That mini album, gaining roughly 170 retweets and 1,300 likes3.

How to Use This Meme

The template is typically used as a video reply or standalone tweet, with the caption framing a mild opinion or preference as if it were about to trigger public outrage. Common conventions include phrasing the caption as 'this is how I feel when...' or 'what it feels like to like [X],' where X is a fandom pick, food order, or hobby the poster expects pushback on. The joke lands because the on-screen violence is wildly disproportionate to whatever tiny confession the caption makes.
