Line 138:
* Speaking of coffee, this scene from ''[[Look Who's Talking]]''...
{{quote|'''James:''' Thank a lot, man. ''(drinks coffee)''
'''Mollie:''' Hey, you know, [[You're Drinking Breast Milk|that's breast milk.]]<br />
''(cue spit-take)'' }}
* ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'' has a cute example when Harry and Harmony are in a bar and poking fun at the wannabe movie stars around them. He gets in a good one and she promptly sprays beer right in his face; he just casually dabs it off and keeps talking while she struggles to get her laughter under control.
Line 208:
* Doubled up in ''[[Skins]]'' during a [[Two Scenes, One Dialogue]] bit.
{{quote|'''Freddie:''' ''(swigs)'' Jesus, what is this stuff? ''(swigs again)''
'''JJ:''' It's Dad's potato moonshine. He went on a "distill anything" course. We use it for [[Gargle Blaster|weedkiller]], mainly.<br />
''(Freddie spits; angle on Freddie, JJ, Katie and Emily)''<br />
'''JJ:''' What's it like?<br />
'''Katie:''' ''(swigs in distance, spits)'' Eurgh! Shit! Urgh! Fuck! ''(sniffs, swigs some more)'' }}
* Shotaro Hidari, from ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'', wastes a cup a coffee this way when his (late) boss's daughter comes announcing she's now in charge of his agency... and that she's evicting him.

== Web Comics ==
* Kevyn Andreyasn of ''[[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]. He gives a physiological explanation [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20070721.html2007-07-21 for the benefit of any non-humans in the audience].
* ''[[The Last Days of Foxhound]]'' does plenty of these, mostly with Psycho Mantis -- 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.
* In ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'', there's a three-person spit-take (Ralph, Corrie, and Fiona) reacting to [http://www.kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0712.html a surprise] from Martha.
* 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 ''[[1/0]]'' -- 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 [http://www.newshounds.com/d/20050520.html "held in check excellently. Bravo!"]
Line 320:
** [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051109 The last panel from this strip.] Then again, Agatha just made a really unexpected off-hand revelation.
** Another in [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110525 the flashback panel of this one]. As in the first example, Baron Wulfenbach wasn't expected to punch out of his own healing engine.
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' in [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20100217 This strip] of ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' has Sasha do one off-panel, with Torg on the receiving end. This is then played to impossible lengths each following strip, with Torg getting more and more improbable things blasted in his face.
* At the ''Cross Time Cafe'', somebody made PB&J sandwiches... and put in [http://www.whiteponyproductions.com/comicstrips/ctc/ctc0459.htm the WRONG kind of jelly!!!] EWWWWW!!!
* ''[[Ménage à 3]]''
** Eulice's reaction when she hears Gary blurting out that Zii has no job.
** 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 ''[[MénageSabrina à 3Online]]'' and ''[[SabrinaMénage Onlineà 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/strips/SabOnline1682001-01.GIF\html this] and [http://www.menagea3ma3comic.netcom/dstrips-ma3/20081018.html\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]]''
Line 335:
* [http://www.meatshield.net/archive/temp-headline-for-122309/ Jaine] of ''[[Meat Shield (webcomic)|Meat Shield]]'', on learning that prince Jonus has stolen the Scepter of Mular.
* Taken to absurd extremes in [http://ravenperez.com/edobs/?p=201 this comic].
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' had Mr. Raven [http://egscomics.com/?date=2011-11-28 does aperform] (Warning: '''Major spoilers''' ahoy) [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious one]] in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''. Made even funnier because Raven is [[The Stoic]]. (Warning:And '''Majortried spoilersto ahoy'''resist it.)
* In an early strip of ''[[PvP (webcomic)|Pv P]]'', Cole is informed Max Powers, his old nemesis, is on the phone just as he's drinking some coffee. Brent walks in and [[Lampshade Hanging|gives a dry remark about it]], only to do one himself when Cole tells him who's calling.
* In ''[[Greg (webcomic)|Greg]]'', Ted, dressed as a burly cheerleader causes [http://gregcomic.com/2011/10/12/back-to-campus-part-15/ this] to happen to a campus cop.
