{{quote|''"For those of you listening at home, the young constable has just thrown up into his helmet. This is the longest continuous vomit seen on Broadway since John Barrymore puked over Laertes in the second act of Hamlet, in 1941."''|'''Narrator''', ''[[Monty Python]] Live at City Center''}}

Since the [[Vomit Discretion Shot]] is so common, there's nothing better to show off how [[Darker and Edgier|edgy]] you are than show the act directly. The grosser, dirtier, and more [[Nausea Fuel|nauseating]], better.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
 
See also [[Vomit Chain Reaction]]. The distant brother of this trope is [[Waterfall Puke]], which usually applies to anime.
 
{{examples}}
 
== Advertising ==
* Microsoft saw fit to promote Internet Explorer 8's private browsing features with a commercial featuring [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB9fhjnJcB0 a woman vomiting at the sight of a porn site]. Her husband then [[Banana Peel|immediately walks past and slips on it]]. Then [[Crosses the Line Twice|she pukes on him.]] [[Overly Long Gag|Repeatedly.]] <ref>A running gag based on her [[Stealth Pun|gagging at the porn her husband was watching?]]</ref>
 
 
== Anime and Manga ==
Line 44:
* In the Japanese version of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', episode 65, at the end everyone goes out for pizza and Usagi is chugging soda. Rei teased her again so Usagi yelled at her and when Rei said what she said was true, Usagi turns gray and throws the soda up on Rei.
* Happens rather frequently in ''[[Gantz]]'' when some of the more squeamish players witness the gruesome deaths of the others.
* In Episode 20 of the 2009 [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]] anime, Edward is overcome with nausea as he digs up the remains of the... ''thing'' the human transmutation resulted in. It sets the mood for the scene immediately, as the viewer now also feels nauseous.
* This happens frequently in [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]. It's usually... ''pink''.
** Episode 5-B is titled "Vomiting Point". Just saying.
Line 54:
* Happens every so often in ''[[Berserk]]''. Guts usually goes for a special juicy blood flavor, what with all of the internal damage he sustains. [[Squick|Yum.]]
* Yukiteru once does this in ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' after being attacked.
 
 
== Comic Books ==
Line 62 ⟶ 61:
* German comic ''[[Rudi]]''. Sometimes even on other people (yuck).
* Italian comic ''[[Cattivik]]''. And is [[Nausea Fuel|disgusting.]]
 
 
== Film ==
* The projectile vomiting in ''[[The Exorcist]]'' is [[Trope Codifier|likely the best known example.]]
* ''[[Audition]]'' has the creepy [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] puke into a bowl off-screen... only for her to come back on screen with a steaming dog-dish of vomit, which she forces her mutilated ex-boyfriend to lap up.
* ''[[Monty Python's The Meaning of Life|Monty Python's Meaning Of Life]]'' has Mr. Creosote, who won't stop vomiting. [[Refuge in Vulgarity|This was apparently high comedy]].
** There is also real vomiting by an extra in said scene [[Enforced Method Acting|as he's truly disgusted by all that's happening]].
* Where the cop being sick in the "Crunchy Frog Sketch" on ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' is a [[Vomit Discretion Shot]], the same moment in ''Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl'' isn't -- he visibly pukes into his hat and is then forced to put it back on.
* ''[[Team America]]: World Police]]'': Gary pukes, on screen, for an entire minute. It also looks like he's done vomiting right before he does it again, turning the scene into an [[Overly Long Gag]].
** By the end it looks he's vomited twice his own weight.
* Daryl VanHorne in ''[[The Witches of Eastwick]]'', inducing vomiting via magic ("Have another cherry") and later suffering as the spell is used on him.
* Ron Weasley vomiting giant slugs in ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''. Only a borderline example, though, because they're just slugs.
** The main problem [[Rupert Grint]] had with the scene was actually spitting out the slugs. The prop slugs were made from chocolate pudding and flavoured gelatin, and apparently very tasty.
* The "eating contest" scene from ''[[Stand by Me]]'' (which quickly develops into a [[Vomit Chain Reaction]]).
Line 93 ⟶ 91:
** Technically, he didn't vomit because the stuff that issued from his mouth was whitish in color - just like the cereal and milk he had just been eating. The food wasn't even half-digested, as it had not gotten the opportunity to mix with his gastric juices. So he just regurgitated, which is a little less disgusting.
* ''[[Four Rooms]]'' has Tim Roth throwing up over the sight (and smell) of {{spoiler|a dead hooker}}. This gets extra funny points for being shot and flash-cut (in the style known from the "what did you do to our hostage" scene in ''[[From Dusk till Dawn]])'' by [[Robert Rodriguez]] and for ''coming completely out of nowhere.''
* ''[[Drag Me to Hell]]'' has the shot of the creepy old [[Roma|gypsy]] lady puking worms all over the protagonist's face. It {{spoiler|turns out to be [[OnlyAll Just a Dream]]}}, but [[Squick|still]]...
* Name a [[Judd Apatow]] movie. Any one will do. (One of the best Vomit Indiscretion Shots in any of his movies though, goes to the part in ''[[Superbad]]'' when Evan spews all over Seth, and then Seth yells "WHAT THE FUCK???".)
* ''[[The Hangover]]'' features three of these.
Line 135 ⟶ 133:
* In ''[[Parenthood (film)|Parenthood]]'', [[Steve Martin|Gil's]] daughter unexpectedly vomits all over him after a baseball game.
* In the film ''[[Persepolis]]'', Marjane Satrapi depicts herself violently projectile vomiting as she recalls how bad her ex-boyfriend's "literature" was.
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* The prize for most unrealistic vomit probably goes to the ''[[Charmed]]'' episode ''Long Live the Queen.'' Phoebe is the only character ever to have thrown up on screen (Piper vomits off screen twice in Hyde School Reunion and in her mouth in The Eyes Have It). After findin out her demonic husband has been feeding her evil juice, she throws up, but it's more like some water falls out of her mouth.

* ''[[Tosh.0]]'' is virtually built upon this trope.
* ''[[Oz]]'' is a very mature show, so when people get sick we tend to see it. For example, Ryan has frequent bouts of nausea after receiving chemotherapy for his breast cancer. Averted in the case of Adebisi after he was rejected by Shirley and called a racist term, he becomes so upset that he trashes his room, smokes pot, and crawls over to his toilet where he vomits, but we don't see it.
Line 176 ⟶ 172:
* ''[[The Comic Strip Presents]]'' is fond of this—more episodes than not seem to feature a character vomiting on screen.
* ''[[Peep Show]]'' takes this to the logical extreme, and gives us the wonderful image of vomiting [[Squick|from the vomiters POV]].
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]](2004 TV series)|''Battlestar Galactica'' (Re-Imagined)]], during the final episode, {{spoiler|Admiral Adama is shown in a flashback getting severely drunk and vomiting all over himself after a night out with the Tigh's}}.
* On ''[[24]]'', Jack did it after {{spoiler|shooting Curtis}}.
** He was also forced to vomit when he was tortured in Season Two
Line 197 ⟶ 193:
* On an episode of Crank Yankers a man converting to Judaism calls a rabbi who then advises that he get a circumcision. Upon learning the details of the circumcision he becomes violently ill. "Wait, how many rabbis will be present?" "Three." "BRRAWWRRRQUAARRLLLARAARRFFF!!!"
* [[CSI]] has Sara doing it during the autopsy of "Liquid Man"
 
 
== Music ==
Line 205 ⟶ 200:
* [[Eminem]] pukes on [[Michael Jackson]] (or better said, himself playing MJ) in the video for ''Just Lose It''.
* In [[Katy Perry]]'s "Last Friday Night (TGIF)" video, her character throws up in a shoe during the party.
 
 
== Real Life ==
* Because of the psychological stress and abuse caused by their own parents, Falcon Heene, the supposed Baloon Boy, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGgRhPI6_Ts vomited on screen] during a CNN interview.
 
 
== Theater ==
* ''[[God of Carnage]]''
 
 
== Theme Parks ==
* The [[Waterworld|Slaughterworld]] show at Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights ran for several years, and the 2007 and 2008 shows both included over the top vomit gags: the 2007 show had an executioner shoot a zombie in the gut to cause him to vomit all over another cast member, while the 2008 show had two minions faced with the throat slashing of an atoller begin profusely spraying vomit over the set and each other for 30 seconds straight.
 
 
== Video Games ==
Line 259 ⟶ 247:
* In ''[[Heavy Rain]]'', if you choose to kill the drug dealer, Ethan will throw up afterwards.
* In [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]], the vomit is weaponized by the Afflicted, people tainted by a disease from Peryite, a [[Physical God|Daedric Prince]] whose purview includes pestilences.
 
 
== Web Comics ==
* [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0569.html This] ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' strip. Belkar {{spoiler|violates the terms of his Mark of Justice}} and spends most of the <s>strip</s> ''next fifty strips'' projectile vomiting.
* ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' brings us [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/11/3/ four panels] of Gabe puking.
* Doug is known for this in ''[[Fletcher Apts]]''.
Line 307 ⟶ 294:
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E22 A Bird in the Hoof|A Bird in the Hoof]]", Fluttershy tries taking care of Princess Celestia's sick bird. At one point the bird vomits ''onto Fluttershy's face''. She doesn't seem to be too bothered by this.
** This also happens in the earlier episode, "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E10 Swarm of the Century|Swarm Of The Century]]". A parasprite vomits into Rarity's eye, revealing that this is how they reproduce. She seems just a ''bit'' bothered by this...
* In an episode of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'' Billy is possessed by a bad luck snail, at one point it messes with Billy's brain making him do among other things [[The Exorcist|spin his head around and vomit]].
 
== Real Life ==
* Because of the psychological stress and abuse caused by their own parents, Falcon Heene, the supposed Baloon Boy, [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20200409005517/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGgRhPI6_Ts vomited on screen] during a CNN interview.
