Vomit Discretion Shot

Vomit in television often has a surprising knack for avoiding the camera, usually from either actors running off-screen to be sick, the scene cutting away to something else spewing (like a burst pipe), or the character just dropping off camera when they double over. The Vomiting Cop usually exhibits this behavior. More and more common in recent years is the Vomit Indiscretion Shot.

Often done as a way of Getting Crap Past the Radar, although ironically the Hays Code that was in effect for Hollywood movies between 1934 and 1968 made no mention of vomiting or any other bodily functions. This was primarily because the censors took it for granted that filmmakers themselves found bodily fluids so disgusting that they wouldn't want to put them in their movies. Well, some of these filmmakers did want that...

Anime and Manga

 * Used in Dragon Ball Z. Gohan punches Cell in the stomach so hard that Cell literally vomits Android 18 out of his body. In the original Master Roshi vomits out the window offscreen when he finds out that he was watching a man undress through his spy camera.
 * Elfen Lied: Episode 9 has Lucy vomiting because of the stress from everything that's happened thus far and from finding out that Kouta lied to her.
 * Ah My Goddess- Flights of Fancy. In Episode 2, outside of his home, Keiichi finds a very drunk Sayoko, who then tackles him. Before she could say anything further, she become blue in the face, then a cut of a long distance shot of the temple... followed by Keiichi screaming and Sayoko retching.
 * In Episode 4, at a Christmas party she was holding on her estate, Sayoko tries to get Belldandy drunk... with enough booze to make even the strongest Bottle Fairy keel over with alcohol poisoning! Sadly, Sayoko finds out the hard way that Belldandy Never Gets Drunk, and then cracks open a bottle of Spirytus, the world's most potent liquor that is "192 proof, 96% alcohol by volume". One whiff of it sends the drunk broad backwards onto her brother, Aoshima. Before she spews all over him and his tuxedo, a quick shot of the outside where the Christmas tree is seen... and Aoshima is heard screaming in the distance.
 * Azumanga Daioh spoofs this by cutting to random shot of the show's logo during the actual act.
 * Subverted in Mai-HiME, episode 7: After a night on the town with Nurse Yoko, a very toasted Midori stumbles into a potential fight between Nao (who was just caught using her child for selfish purposes) and Natsuki. Just after she draws her weapon, she barfs all over Nao. Cut to a scene of the city skyline (and Nao's screams) and Nagi walking into the conflict. When we see the scene again, the ground around Midori is dotted in technicolor vomit.
 * Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann creatively deals with this, when Simon is, by giving us a closeup on his face until the crucial moment and then cutting to an outside shot of Spiral Energy spewing from Lagann's mouth due to backflow. Later, after he is seen sprawled on the ground, coughing up the last of it. (Is it any wonder that )
 * In Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni episode 17, Shion can be heard vomiting into the toilet, and we cut to her slumped over it. Considering that, her reaction was understandable.
 * Pretty Sammy: This happens to Mihoshi in episode 2 of the OAV, after Chihiro, who was going in severe karaoke withdrawals, kicks her in the stomach. Before she vomits, it cuts to the next scene.
 * Cromartie High SchoolIn the opening credits, Takenouchi has one of these. When vomiting on a bus, instead of his lunch coming out we get a miniature Kamiyama instead.
 * Fullmetal Alchemist to an extent when Edward is digging up his supposed mother that he and his brother transmuted back to life five years ago. The attempt failed obviously, and Ed has to go check if the result really was his mother.
 * Note that he vomited before digging it up, either the idea of it got to him, or he worked himself sick digging in the rain.
 * When Spirit in Soul Eater is asked by his daughter Maka to spend a Saturday together (which was really because she lost a bet) he gets so over-excited that he starts vomiting, but it's censored by a big circle with a skull on it. Oddly, this made it look worse because the position of the circle (between his legs while he's facing away) makes it look like he's flashing his own daughter.
 * Neon Genesis Evangelion: Maya does this twice in the anime, during Unit 01's destruction of Bardiel and when Unit 01 starts eating Zeruel.
 * And again in End of Evangelion, when Unit 02 is being torn apart.
 * Bleach: Happens to Loly in the manga, after Grimmjow kicks her in the stomach. And right before he kills Menoly, then rips off one of Loly's legs.
 * Happens a few times during the course of Fruits Basket. Once while, and another notable time in one of the last dozen or so chapters, where Kyo, on his way back from  , he lets loose while coincidentally walking past Hiro and Kisa. He claims it's because he let so much out of the tank just a few minutes prior. The author plays with this, censoring out the area he would vomit in a Bishie Sparkle cloud and the words "Censored for the audience."
 * Black Butler: Ciel in episode 5 of the second season after being swarmed with forgotten memories.
 * In Future GPX Cyber Formula Double-One, This happens to Hayato after he drove recklessly in a test drive with his new Super Asurada AKF-11.
 * In EP 9 the TV series, Asuka gets seasick and she throws up off the deck.
 * Full Moon wo Sagashite: It is hinted that Mitsuki and Wakaouji get sick off screen from Ooshige's bad miso soup. In episode 48, Takuto turns his back to the camera and retches off-screen after Mitsuki gives him an energy drink to help him feel better -- ironically.

Comic Books

 * Amelia Rules!'s legendary "Sneeze Barf Incident." All you see is reaction-shot, and it's enough.
 * In Avengers: The Children's Crusade Vol. 1 Speed uses his powers to vibrate Billy and Teddy's molecules to phase them through a wall. On the other side Billy complains "I'm d-d-definitely going to be s-s-sick.". In the very next panel we see him turning towards the rest of his team and talking to them... with the tiniest bit of puke hanging off the corner of his mouth.

Film
Eric: Face it, Kent [Flounder's real first name]. You threw up on Dean Wormer.
 * Mr. Green in Clue (The Movie). Vomit Line: "And monkey's brains, while popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington, DC." "Is that what we ate?"
 * Animal House uses this to great comedic effect after several of the prominent Delta house members (Bluto, D-Day, etc.) have been informed that they've been expelled from Faber (something Dean Wormer has made the local draft boards well aware of.) Faced with this charming combination, Flounder starts having a panic attack that culminates in him throwing up in front of on Wormer. However, when Flounder starts to retch, we cut to the secretary at her desk, who glances up at that strange splashing noise. Vomit Line: "Out with it!" (Well, he did ask...)
 * Later: Flounder: I can't believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer.
 * Strangely, this film has no problem with showing a close-up of horse poop, which is arguably only slightly less disgusting.
 * Love and Honor does this twice in a row, yet almost elegantly: When he recieves a warning that there's poison in his food, the lord immediately sticks a finger down his throat and then, following the clerk, the camera pans to the food taster collapsed and gagging and then into the kitchen to the horrified cooks.
 * In Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Earl hugs his son Cal, who just woke up from a food coma (brought on by too much junk food), and Cal vomits down his dad's back, which is hidden from the camera by Earl's head.
 * In the movie adaption of The Outsiders.
 * In Toy Story Rex averts his face and makes retching noises when seeing Buzz's severed arm. The discretion is there, but it's likely that there would be nothing to see anyway, given that Rex is a toy dinosaur who lacks a stomach.
 * A Goofy Movie: When Goofy lets Max picks the stops on the road trip, one involves a roller coaster. We see Goofy turn green and lean over the side of the coaster car...Cut to him walking out of the men's room. And of course, Max immediately offers him a plate of greasy carnival food which makes him rush right back in.
 * In Atlantis the Lost Empire, Milo is shown ducking below the camera to puke off the side of a ship. Even though about half of the movie takes place in or on water, his sea-sickness is never mentioned again. Vomit Line: * in Whitmore's mansion*  I'm so excited, I can't even hold it in! * Cut to barfing off the ship* 
 * Heathers uses the "drop below screen" version when Veronica throws up at a Wild Teen Party after drinking too much.
 * Ramona Quimby: Ramona and Beezus has one when Ramona gets sick.
 * In Tinker Bell And The Great Fairy Rescue, when Tink's friends make a boat to find her, Clank feels whoosy and when Fawn announced they were going over a waterfall, it shows Clank leaning over the boat. He does this two more times.
 * In How to Eat Fried Worms, the kids end up doing this a total of three times.
 * In Almost Famous this happens to the main character after . He does it into a nearby trashcan.
 * Subverted in Barton Fink; after seeing Audrey's body, Charlie goes to the bathroom to throw up. However, when he comes back, he has something a little too thick to be saliva hanging from his chin.
 * Linguini in Ratatouille hurls out a window after he takes a sip of his own soup.
 * Razor in Flight of the Intruder is considerate enough to ask before hurling in the back of a taxi: Hey, you got room in there for a six-pack and a pizza?

Live Action TV
""Constable Parrot et one of those!""
 * The episode Hyde School Reunion of Charmed opens with Piper flushing the toilet, exiting the bathroom, and saying "I don't remember having morning sickness this bad with Wyatt." A few minutes later, there is the sound of her stomach gurgling, and she grabs her belly and runs to the bathroom.
 * A variation of this trope is used in The Eyes Have It. While in the hospital, Piper's morning sickness gets the better of her, and she quite clearly throws up in her mouth.
 * The "Fear Factor Chuck Bucket". In a Behind The Scenes special, it was noted that the show was specifically not allowed to show someone vomiting on camera.
 * Monty Python's Flying CircusI
 * Constable played by Graham Chapman in the "Crunchy Frog" sketch. Vomit Line: "Ram's Bladder Cup!"


 * In the live version at the Hollywood Bowl, we actually see Terry Gilliam vomiting into his police helmet (he filled his mouth with cold beef stew earlier). Which his boss makes him put back on. Eeewww.
 * The Royal: Subverted in this British period medical Dramedy. Aman in a suit is inspecting the hospital he stops to ask the nurse about the patient at hand. Pan to the patient, who throws up in a discretion shot. Pan back over to the man in the suit, standing stock still with vomit all over his top, several feet away from the patient. The nurse then notes how projectile vomiting is one of the symptoms of the illness.
 * On You Can't Do That On Television, Barth's Diner usually has the kids puking into buckets provided by Barth himself over a wall. Vomit Line: "What do you think's in the burger?"
 * Parodied on The Colbert Report when Stephen, who has just broken his wrist, sees a clip of The Departed in which a man's wrist cast is smashed with a hammer. Cut back to the desk where Stephen is throwing up into a vase he's holding behind his desk, his face hidden by the flowers; when he puts the vase down we see that it is a. transparent and b. completely vomit-free.
 * The Suite Life on Deck: Something of a Running Gag. To wit:
 * In the episode "The Wrong Stuff," Woody's off-screen projectile vomiting is implied to be quite profuse when Cody holds up an umbrella at the edge of the frame to protect himself and London, having to reposition the device several times.
 * In the episode "International Dateline," in each iteration of the Groundhog Day Loop, a different person vomits on Bailey's shoes after eating the bad shrimp.
 * In the episode "The Spy Who Shoved Me," Smith must manipulate Zack and Cody into doing his bidding, being stuck in the head in Zack's cabin. The noises he makes in there constitute Nightmare Fuel.
 * Star Trek Enterprise: Our heroes are on a rather turbulent shuttle ride. Malcolm mentions feeling queasy, and Phlox hands him an airsick bag. A few shots later, we find Malcolm sealing the bag.
 * The X Files. In "Three of a Kind" Scully is doing an autopsy in front of Langley, and because she's none too happy about being called out to Las Vegas to work with the "Three Stooges", Scully doesn't make it easy for him. Langley runs out of the room to throw up after she peels open the corpse's chest and asks him to bring her the Stryker saw.
 * "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose". The titular psychic runs out of the room and throws up after seeing a vision of the murder (in which the victim had their eyes gouged out), a sign that his visions are a bit more authentic than those of his predecessor, the Stupendous Yappi.
 * "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'". A conspiracy nutter eagerly videos what he thinks is an alien autopsy -- until it turns out to be a Man in A Rubber Suit, whereupon he puts his hand over his mouth and runs out the door.
 * Myth Busters: From a Q&A with Adam Savage, the show may have actually gone with this (instead of the far more common Indiscretion Shot) once. They were given two rules when they wanted to film part of the Moon Landing episode on the zero-G plane: 1) Do not refer to the plane as the "Vomit Comet" on camera, and 2) Do not show anyone vomiting during the flights. To quote Adam, "We didn't, and we didn't."
 * ER: On a show that otherwise loved its Indiscretion Shots it also had several of the discreet variety, usually involving the medical staff. Notable examples include Carter's leaning over the ambulance-bay trash can in the pilot, and Weaver quietly excusing herself from a mass-casualty involving burned sweatshop workers.
 * Firefly: Simon and River take a drug that will make them appear dead so that they can be snuck into an Alliance hospital. When they're given the antidote and wake up, River just sits up gracefully, but Simon doesn't fare as well. The camera shows him hunched over on his stretcher, coughing violently, then moves up to show Jayne's face as he vomits. And as soon as Jayne comments that River seems to be doing fine, cue her violent off-screen retching and splashing.
 * In Oz after Adebisi 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.
 * An episode of Good Luck Charlie has Charlie get sick off bad fishsticks as Teddy uses her in a book report presentation to her class. Teddy's best friend likewise gets sick. The former is offscreen, but the latter is onscreen, just using a handy container to vomit into. This triggers a chain reaction of everybody in the class barfing into their backpack, hat, hood, etc.
 * The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body" straddles the line. Buffy throws up shortly after, ducking out of camera range, but then she puts a paper towel over it and we get a quite disgusting close-up of the vomit being absorbed.
 * Waterloo Road: Lindsay James (played by Jenna Louise Coleman) arrives for her first day after transferring from another school. As she enters the school she rushes into the toilets and throws up - the vomit isn't actually visible but the sound effects are very realistic.
 * Zoey 101: Disc Golf, at the first scene the kids are jogging laps, and one girl, Nicole, comes back on camera after throwing up. Zoey puts her finger on Nicole's shirt saying she spilled oatmeal on it, but Nicole responded by saying that it wasn't oatmeal, it was vomit. That joke is used two more times in that episode. Though the mess on Nicole's outfit would kinda count as a Vomit Indiscretion Shot.
 * Angel: Angel does this once, while . He throws up off-camera at the sight/smell of
 * On Heroes, Mohinder staggers outside and doubles over puking, partially obscured by the front of his car, when he discovers the mutilated corpse of.
 * MASH: "Welcome To Korea," has Hawkeye, B.J. and Radar and a group of U.S. soldiers attacked by enemy fire. Hawkeye is doing what he can, but when B.J. turns a dead soldier over and sees his front, he does the Technicolor yawn. A judicious camera angle keeps us from seeing anything coming out.
 * Eretz Nehederet: A running gag on the sixth season, there was a series of skits titled ‘Mai’s Blog’, consisting almost entirely of the vain teenage girl Mai’s vlog entries, featuring two of her close friends. A running gag in those skits would include Mai mocking one of said friends for being allegedly fat (she is played by a grown man, but he certainly isn’t fat; Mai is played by a grown woman with a waist slimmer than his), followed by said friend saying, ‘Excuse me for a sec,’ and vomiting aloud into a paper bag.

This was eventually turned Up to Eleven on the last episode of the season and the final skit in the series, when Mai had to see her much dreamed of prom dwindling in front of her eyes (she lost the title of prom queen to her worst enemy, said worst enemy got together with the boy she was into, and her own mother took a very unpopular boy’s virginity). When vomit-girl asked her how she felt, Mai went overboard and said something to the effect of, ‘Just imagine all the hamburgers, all the pizzas, all the shawarmas and lafot you’ve ever gobbled down just came up against you!’ The result? A huge amount of vomit just gooshing out and utterly destroying her prom dress.
 * Kids' shows are even more unlikely than TV for adults to show the act of vomiting. Horrible Histories, for example, has a sketch all about a bunch of pirates who actually escaped capture because they had stolen a herd of cows, and their ship was so disgusting that the Navy couldn't bear to take it... but the sketch cuts away from them vomiting and then back to show their clothes covered with it. Even Dick and Dom In Da Bungalow, which featured tasteful games like "Make Dick Sick" (and once or twice was gross enough to make a contestant actually throw up) was careful to cut away from the act.
 * A particularly nasty one in The National Anthem, the first episode of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, immediately after the Prime Minister The sound effects are stomach-turning.
 * A part of most eating tasks on The Amazing Race. Occasionally a Vomit Indiscretion Shot (or, at times, as close as it could get without trying to cram the cameraman into the bathroom stall with the racer).
 * In Fawlty Towers, the Vomit Discretion Shot is so discreet it's confusing. In "Gourmet Night", Basil is asking inebriated chef Kurt how to prepare the mullet ("do we fry it? Just go 'ungh'"). We barely see Kurt's head move, the camera cuts to Sybil, while the audience howls with disgust. According to the director's DVD commentary, Kurt vomited on the plate, but the BBC wouldn't even let them show enough to properly suggest it.

Video Games

 * In Street Fighter II, certain grievous blows will cause the target to vomit if they take them. The -- uh -- "hurk"... does not ever fall past a few in-game inches (such it does not put excessive load on the game hardware and gross out the players too much by just staying on the ground or getting all over one the the characters, no doubt), but we do not see the tail end of what does come out.
 * In Silent Hill 2, the first cutscene featuring Eddie Dombrowski involves him vomiting (seemingly endlessly) into a toilet in the bathroom of Apt. 101 in the Woodside Apartments. There's no visible gunge, but the sound of him vomiting is audible in adjoining rooms.
 * In Bully, one mission entitled "That Bitch" has your character plant a stink bomb in head cheerleader Mandy's locker when you steal some lab notes. After the bomb has gone off, if you go into the cubicles you can watch Mandy throwing up - realistic sound effects but you don't see the vomit, only Mandy leaning over the toilet.
 * Alan Wake: Alan and his Plucky Comic Relief sidekick Barry wake up in a jail cell after a heavy night of drinking moonshine. Barry murmurs about how horrible he feels, then leans over and makes a vomiting sound, but there is a conspicuous absence of...anything at all.
 * In the remake of Resident Evil 1, the player character vomits in the toilet after being attacked by the zombie in the bathtub.
 * Dungeon Keeper 2: One of the cutscenes has a bile demon turning away from the camera to vomit after a fairy constantly flies around him.
 * Persona4; During the camping trip after a brief action of stupidity by Yosuke, the Protagonist, and Kanji, they were knocked into the river. It may not seem so bad to them, but then you hear Morooka puking further upstream. Hits it even further home by adding this: "You feel as though a﻿ million showers will never get you clean..."
 * Adachi's introduction has him running off-screen to throw up, followed by sound effects.

Webcomics

 * Outat Home subverts this somewhat in this strip, where the actual vomit is off-panel, yet the SOUND EFFECT is goopy and a sickening shade of green.
 * Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl: Subverted in the webcartoon version of one of Roman Dirge's comics -- although the character in question does vomit from well off-camera, he does it with such force that portions of it quite noticeably splash into view.
 * Used in Chess Piece after a particularly frightning dream.
 * Sabrina Online Here.
 * In Sluggy Freelance, the Space Pirate ship "The Bloody Bun" pulls an absurd piloting maneuver to evade pursuit. Bun-Bun warns the crew that the worst has yet to come: cut to the entire crew (except the Greys) vomiting off the side.
 * Used in this Misfile with a drunken Missi.
 * Whenever someone vomits in Dominic Deegan, the sounds of vomiting will be an onomatopoeia that takes up half the panel. But the vomiting person will either be bent over or otherwise not in frame.
 * Think Before You Think uses a rather grotesque sound effect bubble, but the actual vomit is out of sight.
 * Even happens to White Bomberman in the art made by the editor's friend Maggie Nettles, where he accidentally ran over the poison power-up. Another art of him was removed from deviantART.

Web Original

 * Todd in The Shadows at the end of "The Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 2009, Pt. 2".
 * The Nostalgia Critic: After bearing witness to the freaky Ahnuld baby scene from Junior, The Critic Screams Like a Little Girl before retreating to the bathroom to violently throw up offscreen. Which reportedly descended into "twenty straight hours of marathon projectile vomiting."
 * Maggie Nettles strikes again folks! She made a surprise picture for the editor in Fur Affinity about Bomberman vomiting! Even Dani Bowman made these pics with him on there, too! Not even made to the artists, even the editor herself made several pics of characters throwing up off-screen.
 * Happens twice in the first two episodes of RWBY for Jaune Arc -- the first occurs off-screen in the final moments of the very first episode, and in the beginning of the second he bends over a trash can, hiding the action with his body.

Western Animation

 * The Simpsons has displayed much emptying of the stomach contents through esophageal means. One example:
 * As the Safety Salamander, drunken Homer feels the need to vomit. Unable to leave the room, he vomits where he stands, but conceals his mouth in the costume first. Not unlike the phenomenon that makes bleeps funnier than expletives, the simple "hurr-maah" sound he makes is priceless.
 * The most ridiculous example is when everyone eats contaminated wheat Krusty Burgers since everyone is vomiting into all the toilets in the house Homer vomits into Lisa's saxophone but it looks completely clean, in reality it would probably shoot or leak from the pipes.
 * Another example is in "Lost Our Lisa", when Lisa tries to hitch a ride with Cletus. He holds up a skunk, saying "Sure, but they still goes off even when they's dead." Lisa runs off, both hands over her mouth, presumably to vomit.
 * Another ridiculous example is where Homer is Lisa's soccer coach at one pont he vomits into a traffic cone, which should be leaking out the other end.
 * Cute example from Avatar: The Last Airbender when Toph is feeling seasick and the boy sitting next to her offers her his helmet to vomit in. He's later shown washing it out.
 * King of the Hill mostly follows this but on a few occasions vomit has been shown on screen such as when Hank grabs a drunk teenager and he vomits over a railing.
 * In an episode where transfat is banned Dale and Boomhauer get sick from eating oysters and they vomit with their back to the camera, we get a clear view in front of them but we see nothing.
 * In Rugrats when Didi becomes pregnant with Dil she vomits off screen at least four times, once it makes it look like vomit but as it turns out it's apple sauce being made for Tommy. And in the second movie, Dil himself vomits on Coco's dress after her sort-of failed attempt to stop his crying.
 * Batman Beyond: After Inque attempts to suffocate Terry by forcing herself down his throat (she's made of goo, if that makes the mental image any less horrible), he throws up with his head off camera, meaning all that can be seen is his lower body and the blobs of black goo falling to the ground.
 * Batman the Animated Series: Evidently happens to Harley Quinn in one episode after nearly meeting the same fate as the Joker did in Batman. (See about 8:10 of this.) Batman catches her falling and she mentions she, "Made a mess on your (his) cape."
 * Word of God has it that the animators were forced to depict Harley making a "barfing face" immediately after delivering this line, because the censors were afraid viewers would otherwise think that she'd urinated on his cape.
 * In the episode "The Laughing Fish", Harley takes a bite of the fish that Joker was selling on TV with expected results, being slightly allergic to fish.
 * Justice League: Even Batman himself did this. Ace was warping Batman's perception of reality so severely that you see him jerk his head down, make a coughing noise, and then wipe his mouth when his face re-appears on camera.
 * Hey Arnold: In the Valentine Day episode, Helga (posing as Arnold's penpal Cecile) runs to the bathroom and vomits into the toilet multiple times after she eats "calf's brains and eggs".
 * Family Guy: Brian vomits into a toilet after a night of heavy drinking in one episode, while Stewie and Frank Sinatra Jr. hold his ears back on the episode "Brian Sings and Swings."
 * Subverted: Who wants chowder?
 * American Dad zigzags between showing vomiting and being discreet, though at least 80% of the shots are of the latter variety.
 * Teen Titans: While the Titans are battling Control Freak in a video store, an army of evil candy attacks Cyborg. After struggling with the possessed candy for a while, he starts eating it to scare the rest off. Naturally, he gets sick to his stomach and sprints out of the store to throw up. After they've beaten Control Freak and brought home a movie to watch, Starfire offers Cyborg some candy, with predictable results. "Make it go awa-a-a-ay..."
 * Happens on Nightmare Ned after a doll-sized Ned gets spun around in an RC car.
 * In Billy and Mandy's Big Boogie Adventure, Boogie places a sleep spell on Mandy that causes her to be trapped in a long series of nightmares, later prompting Irwin to kiss her and snap her out of it. At first, she thought the kiss was part of another bad dream; Irwin tells her otherwise. Both this and his subsequent line "I...am the god...of love!" cause Mandy to feel very nauseous.
 * SpongeBob SquarePants had a fish vomiting off camera when she ate Plankton's chum.
 * The Powerpuff Girls
 * In "Him Diddle Riddle," Buttercup is sent into a spin in her fighter copter by the monster she's attacking. She wobbles out of the craft once on the ground and tosses her cookies in a garbage can.
 * Bubbles does exactly the same thing in "The Boys Are Back in Town" in response to the Rowdyruff Boys' attempts to disgust them, which included having one spit up a loogie that the other one caught in his mouth before spitting it up himself.
 * In any Warner Bros or MGM cartoon whenever a character is about to vomit they turn a pale shade of green and usually lean over a railing, port, or barrel sometimes making retching sounds.
 * In the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic episode "Applebuck Season", Pinkie Pie and another pony also go from pink to green before losing it into buckets, after unwittingly partaking of Applejack's worm-ridden "baked bads." In another episode, Rarity mumbles, "I have to go," and rushes offscreen, cheeks bulging, after shoving her face into a garbage can. Another episode has Spike vomiting, but it turned out to be fire. It Makes Sense in Context.
 * Applebuck Season's example is notable for being the first time the My Little Pony franchise has been brave enough to make reference to vomiting, or, in fact, any sort of unpleasant bodily function in any way.
 * BEAUTIFULLY and DISGUSTINGLY averted, on every occasion, in Adventure Time. This show seems to really love seeing characters projectile-vomit.
 * In the episode "Proteus: Part 2" of the X-Men animated series, Wolverine can be heard retching as he recovers from Proteus' Mind Screw in the last episode.
 * In the Animaniacs episode "O Silly Mio" at one point during the soprano's performance the Warner siblings eat some sandwiches and show her their chewed up food, she covers her mouth and runs off to vomit.
 * In the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode "Lifestyles of the Sick and Twisted" features a scene where Scratch and Grounder watch their favorite cartoon "Bart the Barfy Bumblebee" he coughs and says "I don't feel so good!" and leans over to barf, it cuts to Dr. Robotnik's reaction to it.
 * Tygra from Thundercats 2011 ran to the railings while Cheetara and a fishman watched from a respectful distance. Way to impress the ladies there, Tygra.
 * Happens in an early episode of Arthur when Arthur and Buster ride a screaming swing type of ride called "The Hurl-A-Whirl" which is designed to make the riders vomit and it came with free barf bags, inside the ride it shows them turning green and leaning their mouths over the bags. This also happens to Francine Frensky in the episode "Vomitrocious" when she has that embarassing incident in the school cafeteria.
 * Daria lets fly in the episode Malled due to the smell of Brittany's perfume. The 'camera' is facing her, but she dips her mouth just below the frame when she heaves to keep the audience from seeing anything.
 * In the Phineas and Ferb episode Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?, Candace (who is in Perry's body) eats the food that they usually feed Perry. Upon finding out that it's made of worms, it cuts to an outside shot as we hear Candace vomiting all over the floor.
 * Bolin from The Legend of Korra "tosses his noodles" during a Pro-Bending match after a night of eating nothing but noodles resembling that of binge-drinking due to heart break.
