* Okazaki does one in ''[[Clannad (Visualvisual Novelnovel)|Clannad]]'' after Nagisa, who by this point has spent about twenty episodes trying to re-establish her school's theater club, admits that she's never so much as seen an actual play.

Then Belldandy (in a beautiful, elaborate goddess outfit, no less) replies with, "No, I am not Mister Keiichi's wife, I am actually--" Cue '''another''' spit-take from Keiichi. {{spoiler|Belldandy is a goddess for whom Keiichi wished to stay with forever, and to maintain her power, she is forbidden from lying}}.

''(Basil looks at the "pot" Austin got it from, noticing it is labeled {{smallcaps|Fat Bastard Stool Sample}})''<br />

'''Basil:''' It ''is'' shit, Austin.<br />

* The Nickelodeon movie ''[[Snow Day]]'' uses this slightly differently when the Principal of the school is brushing his teeth over the morning radio announcements of weather-related closings. Everything except the schools are closed, and he laughs smugly... but apparently the radio host has "missed one" and announces that all schools are closed for a snow day -- cueday—cue toothpaste running down the Principal's chin in shock, anger, and disbelief.

* Happens to Tom Cruise's character in ''[[Minority Report (Film)|Minority Report]]''. After getting (very) amateur eyeball replacement surgery, he is left in the "doctor"'s house to recover; seated on the couch, one length of rope leads to the bathroom, the other to the fridge in the kitchen, where he was told a sandwich and some milk awaited him if he got hungry.

{{quote| '''Dark Helmet:''' Hot... too hot!}}

* Speaking of coffee, this scene from ''[[Look WhosWho's Talking]]''...

{{quote| '''James:''' Thank a lot, man. ''(drinks coffee)''<br />

'''Mollie:''' Hey, you know, [[You're Drinking Breast Milk|that's breast milk.]]<br />

* ''[[Back to Thethe Future (Filmfilm)|Back to The Future]]'' (Part I) has the scene with Marty sitting in a parked car with Lorraine, his [[Lady Drunk|future mom]]. She pulls out a bottle of liquor and takes a drink (both she and Marty are underage at this point), and Marty confiscates it, saying [[An Aesop|she shouldn't drink, because she might regret it later in life]]. She calls him a square. He shrugs and [[Hypocritical Humor|takes a swig himself]] -- just—just as she lights up a cigarette...

** A much more powerful spit-take happened during an outtake of that same scene. [[Michael J. Fox]] was unaware that the prop drink contained real alcohol, and subsequently spilled it all over himself, then burst out laughing.

* In ''[[Kangaroo Jack (Film)|Kangaroo Jack]]'', when Charlie wakes up with a goose egg on his forhead, Jessie (who punched him) gives him a concoction:

'''Jessie:'''' It'll also make your testicles fall off.<br />

'''Charlie:''' ''(vigorous spit-take)''<br />

* One of Jon Stewart's funnier stock gags on ''[[The Daily Show (TV)|The Daily Show]]'' is, after watching a particularly shocking piece of video, to calmly take a sip of his coffee (or, occasionally, something a little stronger) and then do a shocked spit-take.

** After twelve years, the show finally had a ''genuine'' spit-take. But it wasn't Jon -- itJon—it was [[Steve Carell]], responding to one of Jon's jokes! (For those who missed it, Jon said Steve Carell's success was because he "will [[Bluenose Bowdlerizer|f***]] [[Anything That Moves]].")

{{quote| '''Fred Sanford:''' ''(sipping sangria at a Mexican restaurant)'' Say, what does sangria mean?<br />

'''Julio:''' It means "blood".<br />

* Slightly subdued instance on ''[[The X-Files (TV)|The X-Files]]'', episode "Chinga": Mulder pulls a bottle of orange juice out of his refrigerator (it was the sole occupant) and takes a gulp directly from the bottle, then grimaces and looks at the expiration date. The date is at least four months prior to the original airing of the episode. He spits the juice back into the bottle, and then puts the bottle back in the refrigerator.

{{quote| '''Freddie:''' ''(swigs)'' Jesus, what is this stuff? ''(swigs again)''<br />

'''JJ:''' It's Dad's potato moonshine. He went on a "distill anything" course. We use it for [[Gargle Blaster|weedkiller]], mainly.<br />

'''JJ:''' What's it like?<br />

* ''[[Hannah Montana (TV)|Hannah Montana]]''

* ''[[Parks and Recreation (TV)|Parks and Recreation]]''

* ''[[How I Met Your Mother (TV)|How I Met Your Mother]]''

* One of the skits on ''[[ICarly (TV)|I CarlyiCarly]]'' is "The Spit Take".

* In ''[[The Mighty Boosh (TV)|The Mighty Boosh]]'', the Crack Fox offers Vince a "goblet" (really a half of a tennis ball) full of wine. Vince asks what sort of wine it is, then takes a sip. The Crack Fox replies "blood from a cat's face". Vince does a spit-take, and the Crack Fox seems quite proud of his joke.

* Lister does a spit-take on ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' when he's told that his tea has dog's milk in it.

* ''[[The Big Bang Theory (TV)|The Big Bang Theory]]'': Penny does this when she hears that Sheldon and his "not-girlfriend" Amy {{spoiler|are considering having a child together.}}

{{quote| '''Monk:''' Okay, fine, fine. His name... is Doctor... ''(glances at the elevator)'' Door.<br />

* Lampshaded on ''[[30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'', when Jenna tells Liz that she wants to have a baby and Liz spits.

{{quote| '''Liz:''' I wasn't even drinking anything!}}

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. A different version of this trope happens in "The I in Team" when Anya mentions during a poker game that [[Casual Kink|she and Xander have spanked each other]], whereupon Xander's cards go flying into the air.

* This is a pretty common phenomenon on many [[Web Comic]] forums. [http://nice.purrsia.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=11082=15#p155572 One reader]{{Dead link}} said that he took to sipping Windex so he could clean his monitor while reading. That forum has had numerous claims of ruined keyboards.

* When Triple H was named to switch brands in the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'s 2004 draft, he immediately spit out the water he was drinking. Since Trips always spits out the contents of his water bottle during his entrance, this probably isn't the only time he's done spit-takes onscreen.

* Then there was "One Night Stand 2005", where Paul Heyman namedrops Matt Hardy in front of Edge -- whoEdge—who had recently yoinked Matt's girlfriend Lita (in real life, not kayfabe) -- and Edge spits out the beer he's drinking.

* Used to ''hilarious'' effect in ''[[Persona 4 (Video Game)|Persona 4]]'', to illustrate just how mind-bendingly awful a particular batch of curry is, when immediately followed by keeling over ''sideways'' onto a picnic bench. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Zero to horizontal in .1 seconds.]]

{{quote| "Sure enough, one strike."}}

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' has a variation: Solid Snake is about to smoke his cigarette after asking why Liquid wants the original when a duplicate would work just fine (referring to Solid and Liquid's DNA) in regards to hacking the system. When he hears from Naomi that its because they ''aren't'' identical to Big Boss, he then chokes on his cigarette smoke.

* In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64DNpYiqlEc this trailer] for ''[[Street Fighter]] X [[Tekken (Video Game)|Tekken]]'', Zangief has ''two'' massive spit-takes.

* Godot does this often in ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney]]: Trials and Tribulations'' whenever Phoenix discredits one of his witnesses' testimony. Parodied in some cases where Godot will actually [[Going Through the Motions|go through the motions]] of receiving his coffee, sniffing it, guzzling it down, and ''then'' spitting it out. In one instance Godot took ''two'' drinks. It's usually "symbolic" to the progress you've made, too, since Godot will only ever have 17 cups of coffee in one case, meaning if he's just spitting out coffee, he's coming to an end. Or if he's chugging them down, he's coming to an end for his benefit. To emphasize the whole parody he does in the game, it should be pointed out that he was [[Going Through the Motions]] in the ''very first'' instance of this trope in the game ever.

* A Combine does this in ''[[Half Life: Full Life Consequences (Fanfic)|Half Life Full Life Consequences]]: Free Man''.

{{quote| '''"STOP THE HUMEN!"'''}}

* Kevyn Andreyasn of ''[[Schlock Mercenary (Webcomic)|Schlock Mercenary]] '' is famous for his spit-take, [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20070913.html2007-09-13 much to the crew's amusement], sometimes [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-07-18 repeatedly].

* ''[[The Last Days of Foxhound]]'' does plenty of these, mostly with Psycho Mantis -- toMantis—to the point that, after a huge reveal, Ocelot points out that he "only brought you that coffee to watch you do spit-takes." Extra humor because he does the spit-takes through his gas mask. Apparently he practiced that while practicing drinking through it.

* One strip of ''[[Ghastly's Ghastly Comic]]'' has Smokey do a spit-take [[Bedmate Reveal|after... apparently, being intimate with Freddy]], and getting the disgusted reaction, "You're supposed to take a drink before a spit-take!"

* In one strip of ''[[One Over Zero1/0]]'' -- a comic strip with no fourth wall -- Ghanny walks a quick route of logic to conclude that he is being set up for a spit-take. Knowing that makes him immune. [http://www.undefined.net/1/0/?strip=516 See here.]

{{quote| '''Ghanny:''' ... and there it is. I'm surprised, but not extravagantly so.}}

* Subverted in ''[[Newshounds]]'', when Wolfram proposes to Rochelle. The spit-take almost happens, but it's [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20080829132328/http://newshounds.com/d/20050520.html "held in check excellently. Bravo!"]

* In an early (1999-ish) ''[[Ozy and Millie (Webcomic)|Ozy and Millie]]'' strip, Millie discovers that she can make her mother do a spit-take by sneaking up behind her while she's reading the paper and saying "Lewinsky". Ozy then tries this on Llewellyn; he discovers that, since Llewellyn is [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]], saying "Lewinsky" doesn't get a reaction but saying "Teapot Dome" does. A couple years later, Millie discovers that she can now achieve the same effect again, by saying "dimpled chad".

* Pointed out in [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1231 this] ''[[Questionable Content (Webcomic)|Questionable Content]]'' strip.

* Interestingly enough, in both ''[[MénageSabrina à 3 (Webcomic)|Ménage à 3Online]]'' and ''[[SabrinaMénage Onlineà (Webcomic)|Sabrina Online3]]'', the female lead triggers that certain reflex by touching [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|a sensitive point]] of the main male character (compare [http://sabrina-online.com/strips/SabOnline1682001-01.GIF\html this] and [http://www.menagea3ma3comic.netcom/dstrips-ma3/20081018.html\pffffft this]).
