Bang Bus is a reality porn website that is part of the Bang Bros network run by Kristopher Hinson and Penn Davis's company, Ox Ideas. The two are friends who attended school together. Greg Entner (known as "Sanchez" or "Dirty Sanchez") worked for the company as a scene director and camera operator and has appeared in most Bang Bus episodes. The videos, mostly 24–40 minutes long, are shot by Entner in Gonzo pornography style and are also known for their humorous approach.
The business is based on an insight forged in the 1990s explosion in amateur porn: the viewing demographic strongly prefers material that effectively establishes plausible circumstances wherein otherwise far-fetched sexual adventures could happen to the viewer himself. Combining the mid-1990s growth areas of internet commerce and amateur pornography, an affiliate program (OxCash) and a gonzo cinematographic style were developed concurrently and combined with production values often missing in amateur porn of the time: professional-grade talent (attractive women, preternaturally-endowed men), proper lighting (originally confined to outdoor daylight shoots), and plausible storyline (as discussed above). Their success in combining those three Ps of porn production while maintaining an amateur feel was largely unprecedented.
The increased accessibility delivered by this novel combination has spawned a pornographic empire of sorts. In 2007, the Bang Bros. Network generated a sales total of 1.9 million dollars. Despite a declining traffic trend since 2008, its continuing popularity is attested to by a number of imitators.

Famous quotes containing the words bang and/or bus:
“This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
