Line 150:
* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[Feet of Clay (novel)|Feet of Clay]]'', Nobby gets told by a cadre of nobles that they want him to become king. Since he's gulping down brandy, smoking a cigar, and sitting in a chair with wheels at the time, the result is a [[Booze Flamethrower|rocket-powered spit-take]].
* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''
** In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'': The morning before the end of the tournament, Hermione sits down to breakfast, opens her newspaper...and spits a mouthful of pumpkin juice all over it in shock. [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|She then insists nothing's wrong.]]
** Very non-comedic example in ''Prisoner of Azkaban''—Harry spits out some of his butterbeer when Lupin explains [[Fate Worse Than Death|the Dementor's Kiss]] to him.
