* Ciel Phantomhive of ''[[
* Detective Suk in ''[[Monster (
* During the "Jungle Cruise" episode of ''[[Ghost in
** Not just seeing. He was using a direct cyber-link to the investigator on the scene, experiencing everything, including the smell in perfect clarity. The experienced members of the squad just watch the video feed. Ofcourse most of the experienced members could also turn off their sense of smell if they wanted to.
* Mentioned but not seen in ''[[Ghost in
Line 34:
* ''[[Fell]]'': Somewhat subverted, in that it's not at a crime scene. Fell threw up when the insane [[The Coroner|Medical Examiner]] dropped a piece of tomato into a victim during the autopsy, took it out and ate it despite Fell's repeated assertions that he would shoot him if he did so.
** In the coroner's defense, it was organic tomato. He had to go all the way to the city to get it fresh.
* Thunder from the [[Judd Winick]] run on ''[[Batman and
* Albrecht in ''[[The Crow]]'', after seeing Gideon's corpse.
* The police officers who found [[The Joker]]'s early experiments in ''[[Batman]]: The Man who Laughs''.
* [[Global Frequency|The police officer who arrived on the scene still wets himself whenever he sees cutlery.]]
* In ''[[X
* In the [[Batman]] spinoff ''Streets of Gotham,'' Robin calls the police for backup after finding that the orphans Humpty Dumpty had taken were actually corpses he'd found and was trying to heal. The boy barely gets half way through the call before handing the communicator over to Batman to go throw up. Mind you this is ''Damian Wayne,'' the resident stab-happy assassin of the Bat clan we're talking about here.
== Film ==
* In the first ''[[A Nightmare
** Although not shown, dialogue between two on-scene cops reveals that the ''coroner'' is also puking in the bathroom.
* In ''Dead Right'', an amateur movie that Edgar Wright made when he was younger that features on the ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' DVD, Barry Stern's newbie partner vomits slightly into his hand when they find the body of a woman who had recently been murdered. On the [[Alternate DVD Commentary]] (slightly different from the usual examples in that it is included on the DVD itself) with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost essentially lambasting the movie at every step of the way, Pegg mocks the vomit effect as looking as though the actor simply spat out "a chewed up Texan bar".
* ''[[Dead Bang]]'' (1989). The alcoholic cop played by Don Johnson runs down an outlaw biker and is immediately sick on him. The biker is so grossed out he agrees to spill the beans as long as Johnson doesn't spill his a second time.
* In the 2006 version of ''[[
* Parodied in ''[[Ace Ventura]]: Pet Detective'', wherein every cop on the force <s> throws up</s> spits when they learn that Lois Einhorn is a man. Couple that with the facts that Ace himself threw up when he found out, and that he had a...tryst with Einhorn, and you can connect the dots.
** And the dolphin!
* In ''[[Jaws (
* Done constantly in ''[[Suicide Club]]'', almost every time dead flesh is exposed, often by multiple cops.
* Averted in ''[[Fargo]]'', where the sheriff bends over and (almost) pukes mainly because she's pregnant, not just because the crime scene is gruesome.
Line 64:
*** A hospital variation occurs in ''[[Pet Sematary]]'', with a candy striper being the one who vomits.
* [[Erast Fandorin]], on his first crime scene (in his defense, it was an exceptionally gruesome murder).
* ''[[Discworld
** Also, Cheery Littlebottom puked in ''Feet Of Clay'', upon seeing her first murder victim.
* Not a murder mystery, but in the [[X Wing Series]], Gavin Darklighter throws up when he sees and smells someone in the worst throes of the [[The Plague|Krytos Plague]]. He's not a cop, but an extremely green pilot who, during the crisis, was sent to try and help the sufferers. He'd seen some bad ones before, but this was the worst. Gavin ''was'' able to pull himself together and do his job after, and later he told his love interest that he'll be all right, and that scares him.
Line 79:
== Live Action TV ==
* Subverted in one episode of ''[[Taggart]]'' when on seeing a guy with the back of his head bashed in, experienced detective DCI Burke suddenly gags, but doesn't vomit. DS Reid says he's seen worse. Burke's reply is that it's indigestion from the falafels he ate- he's on a [[Health Kick]].
* In one episode of ''[[
* In the 5th season finale of ''[[CSI]]'', Nick happily examined the intestines at the scene while the experienced cop threw up.
** Nick did have to leave a scene in the first season to throw up, though it is implied that this was due to smell of the blood in the air, not the gruesomeness and Nick ignoring Grissom's advice to "Breathe through your mouth".
Line 99:
** Slight variation in the television show: Harry walks in on Dexter and, realizing what he's created, is violently sick.
** There is one occasion in the TV show where Dexter loses his composure upon seeing a crime scene covered in blood, but that is more of a [[Heroic BSOD]] because {{spoiler|the crime scene was made to remind Dexter of his [[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}.
* Done on ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' as the fourth member of a hit squad describes how the other three were killed to Danko. {{spoiler|The man a shapeshifter and is actually the killer. Though whether he's vomiting as part of his act or out of guilt is never made clear.}}
* Happened to an off-screen investigator in the pilot of ''[[Fringe]]'' upon inspecting a plane whose passengers fell victim to a flesh-rotting something-or-other.
* Parodied in a sketch of ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'', where a cop vomits at the sight of a corpse and then at an expired parking meter.
* In an episode of ''[[Smallville]]'', Clark impersonates a coroner's assistant and it is assumed he leaves the area to vomit when he goes in search of his own clues.
* Played dead straight early in ''[[John Le Carre|Smiley's People]]'' after a Russian defector's head is blown to pieces.
* In the episode of ''[[
* Connor on ''[[
* DS Dan Twentyman in ''[[Moses Jones]]'' does this - [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|visibly]] - upon discovering a mutilated corpse.
* ''[[Stargate SG
* In the first episode of the series, ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'' had Benson vomiting in the bushes after interviewing a particularly brutalized rape victim.
* A whole roomfull of cops nearly succumbed to this trope on ''[[The Closer]]'', when an ice cooler containing a folded-up human corpse was opened in the middle of Chief Brenda's office. Justified even for the most hardened veterans, given how long the body had been decomposing in a tiny airtight space.

== Webcomics ==
* Parodied in '''[[
** It's also semi-implied that the investigator in question may be bulimic, since he mentions that he's lost a ''lot'' of weight from all that puking.
** [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20031022.html Some characters are immune], though.
* Seen in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0339.html this] ''[[The Order of the Stick
Line 151:
* Danny, the Safety Patrol photographer and [[Plucky Comic Relief]] in ''[[Fillmore]]'', is often subject to this trope, often after seeing minor acts of vandalism.
* Spoofed a couple of times in ''[[South Park]]'' in one Officer Yates vomits after uncovering some toilet paper used on a house, and again after finding out Michael "Jefferson" isn't black.
* ''[[The Simpsons (
* In one ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' sketch, [[The Smurfs|Brainy]] throws up after seeing Baker Smurf [[
