Spit-Take: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

* When discussing recent events with Hawkeye in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Edward spits out the coffee he was drinking when Hawkeye bluntly asks {{spoiler|"You love Winry, don't you?"}}, thinking it as plainly obvious and a fact. Ed, however, [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|seemed to think otherwise]]. Then again, Ed is the king of [[The Napoleon|overblown reactions]].

* In the anime version of ''[[Kekkaishi]]'', Masamori teases Yoshimori while he is drinking tea about the latter's feelings for Tokine. Yoshimori promptly does a spit-take right into his cup which ends up splashing vertically, drenching himself in the process.

* Aisha in ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' does rather impressive spit-take lasting for a full second across the screen when she sees the rest of the team on TV as hostages of a mad bomber.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' likes these a lot.

** Negi in particular has a great one after receiving an email containing some... potentially indecent photos of one of his students. For the record, she wanted to hook up with Negi's cousin Nagi (actually Negi magically aged up) so her friends KOed her, dressed her in a [[Playboy Bunny]] costume, took pictures, and sent them to Nagi.

Line 30:

* Anita does this with milk in ''[[ROD the TV|Read or Die the TV]]''. What's funny in the english dub is you can hear a classmate in the distance exclaiming, "That's nasty!"

* Yoko spits up half a glass of red wine all over Rossiu in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' when one of the Black Sisters asks her if the two little kids they picked up last episode were hers.

* ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma ~~One Half~~]]''

* ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma Â½]]''

** In the manga, when Tatewaki Kunō informs Nabiki Tendō of his intention to woo the "fiery-haired pigtailed girl" ([[Gender Bender|Ranma's female side]], ignoring the truth), she spits out orange juice -- right into his face. And ''she'' berates him next for making her do this.

** This conversation occurs when quite a few main characters are discussing a robbery:

Line 106:

* In ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'', Pete pulls one when he sees Max and Goofy at the concert that he's watching on TV.

* In ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', King Hubert pulls one after King Stephan ends up implying that Phillip and Aurora's arranged marriage might not end well.

* In ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', Frollo spits his wine when Quasimodo unwittingly says "festival" for the letter F while reviewing his alphabet.

* ''[[Cars]]'': "He did ''what'' in his cup?!"

* ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'': "Now I'd like you to fill up these two beakers."

Line 227:

** All of them did it when Max said, "I`m so relieved that I told Nancy that I'm a wizard."

* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]''

** Brilliantly done after Ted reveals he is in the middle of a 57-day dry spell; Barney nonchalantly asks to borrow Ted's water, reaches over the table to get it, before doing a spit-take, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL4amBvCDDA exclaiming "57 days!"].

*** Barney tends to spray fluids around him like a demented fountain. Fridge Horror may apply when you consider that people who consider how many people he has slept with wouldn't even touch him while wearing space suits.

** Ted's cousin also does one of these when her son asks her what a "'[[Country Matters|grinch]]" is.

Line 236:

'''Sam:''' It's actually chicken blood!

''(called a spit-take from Carly)'' }}

* ''[[Victorious]]'': Tori's sister Trina spits out milk when Robbie kisses her.

* In the [[Pilot]] of ''[[Friends]]'', when Monica's date reveals that he's been impotent since his last girlfriend left him, she spits her wine over him in shock.

* ''[[Leverage]]'': In one episode, the gang cons a reporter into covering a fake story about the U.S. water supply being poisoned. When the reporter announces it on the air, a studio employee with a water bottle does a spit-take.

Line 326:

** And when Zii gets back at an on-line [[Troll]], this is the kid's reaction when he finds out {{spoiler|who just spent the night with his mom.}}

* Interestingly enough, in both ''[[Sabrina Online]]'' and ''[[Ménage à 3]]'', 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/2001-01.html this] and [http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/pffffft this]).

* In ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]'', [http://yafgc.net/?id=76 the Grey Elves envoy does a spit-take] when Arachne and Charlotte trick her into thinking she's been poisoned.

* ''[[Wapsi Square]]''

** This is used right [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/curiousquestions/ here.]

Line 345:

* [[The Nostalgia Critic]]

** He had TWO spit-takes in the same episode of ''[[Tom and Jerry]] [[The Movie]]''. Particularly about how the duo are suddenly talking. A LOT.

** He did it again in his review of ''[[The Room]]'', in response to Johnny's "[[Left Fielder|Anyway, how is your sex life?]]" line.

** And again in the Commercial Special during the innuendo-filled Wet Banana ad.

** And again in his review of ''[[Milk Money]]'' when a kid asks, "Was Mom a virgin when you married her?" The page quote is the Critic lampshading this trope.

Line 366:

** Homer does this in early episodes when he spits mouthwash on the mirror.

** Mr. Burns once did a spit-take that was implied to have also drained him of vital bodily fluids and thus dehydrated/seriously wrinkled him which required himself to be sprayed to regain the lost bodily fluids.

** Subverted in the episode where the family is at a dude ranch. Homer and Bart don't do anything when they find out they're drinking bear urine, but they do the spit-take when they find out they're actually drinking Fresca.

** Marge done this with wine soon after Janeane Garafolo said "I got my period today" while in the comedy festival.

* ''The Adventures of [[Sam and Max Freelance Police (animation)|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'', "Bad Day on the Moon": Sam sees a giant cockroach do a spit-take, and describes it as "the universal sign of surprise and alarm".

* Parodied several times on ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]''.

Line 379:

** Peter does this twice on Meg at the dinner table when Brian tells the family that he's dating Shauna, a teacher he met at the PTA.

** Brian does a spit-take when Peter tells he's gotten a raise when his job at the toy company is taken over by the tobacco company in the episode "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington".

* ''[[Futurama]]''

** In the episode "Bender Gets Made" after realizing that the ship the Robot Mafia is going to attack is none other than the Planet Express Ship, Bender does a full ''ten second'' spit-take after drinking some oil up until the commercial break. On the DVD commentary they say that if they had been able to they would have still had him doing it after coming ''out'' of the commercial break.

** When Dr. Zoidberg does one in "That's Lobstertainment", the water doesn't just come out of his mouth.

** Bender does a double spit-take in "The Cyber House Rules" by alternating between two glasses that are constantly refilled. After the first spit-take, he picks up the other glass and does a second.

** Another instance is when Fry, Leela and Bender won a tour of the Slurm factory, only to find out that Slurm's ''only'' ingredient is a semi-liquid discharge from the tail of a giant slug queen. There are several exchanges of Fry drinking from a can of Slurm, Leela reminding him what it is, Fry spit-taking, and going right back to drinking (it ''is'' highly addictive, after all.)

Line 436:

* Kowalski keeps doing these as a running gag in the ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' episode "Mr. Tux".

* In the ''[[Veggie Tales]]''' version of David and Goliath, one character performs a rather impressive one when David declares he wants to fight Goliath.

* In an episode of ''[[Home Movies]]'', Brendon's mother reacts this way to Brendon asking to go to the library -- multiple times. The first time she does it is out of legitimate shock, but then she keeps doing it, seemingly just to annoy Brendon.

* Done by Samy on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'', when Beezy approaches him wearing a [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] of Lucius.

* ''[[Wakfu]]''

** Done by Ruel in episode 10, all over his friend Calben, from Amalia's yell surprising him.

** Done be Evangelyne in season 2 episode 2, straight at the "[[Camera Abuse|camera]]", {{spoiler|when she hears Sadlygrove's voice in the forest}}.

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', "[[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Nightmares and Daydreams~~/Recap~~|Nightmares and Daydreams]]", Aang yells at Toph to stop drinking water and she immediatly spit-takes in surprise, all over Katara (who subsequently waterbends to dry herself). When asked why, Aang explains he just had a dream where they all died because of Toph's [[Potty Emergency]], and thus it's important that she avoids drinking in the future....

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', "[[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book 3/09 Nightmares and Daydreams|Nightmares and Daydreams]]", Aang yells at Toph to stop drinking water and she immediatly spit-takes in surprise, all over Katara (who subsequently waterbends to dry herself). When asked why, Aang explains he just had a dream where they all died because of Toph's [[Potty Emergency]], and thus it's important that she avoids drinking in the future....

* ''[[The Legend of Korra]]''" "[[The Legend of Korra/Recap/S1 E2 A Leaf in The Wind|A Leaf in the Wind]]." A White Lotus guard does this right into the face of another when the pro-bending announcer on the radio reveals that Korra is playing in a match.

* In ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'' Bruce pulls one of these when his friend Harvey Dent tells him he's planning on proposing to Pam Isley (not knowing she's evil yet).
