Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Difference between revisions

[[File:MollyNotWell.png|link=Runaways|frame|Wow indeed.]]

 

 

Since the [[Vomit Discretion Shot]] is so common, there's nothing better to show off how [[Darker and Edgier|edgy]] you are than show the act directly. The grosser, dirtier, and more [[Nausea Fuel|nauseating]], better.

 

See also [[Vomit Chain Reaction]]. The distant brother of this trope is [[Waterfall Puke]], which usually applies to anime.

* Microsoft saw fit to promote Internet Explorer 8's private browsing features with a commercial featuring [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB9fhjnJcB0 a woman vomiting at the sight of a porn site]. Her husband then [[Banana Peel|immediately walks past and slips on it]]. Then [[Crosses the Line Twice|she pukes on him.]] [[Overly Long Gag|Repeatedly.]] <ref>A running gag based on her [[Stealth Pun|gagging at the porn her husband was watching?]]</ref>

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Narutaru]]'' has a few of these:

** Akira throws up on herself and before passing out in the classroom when she first links with her [[Mon|shadow dragon]] Ensof, because she feels it plummeting from the sky at high speed.

** After being forced to ingest a beaker full of worms, Hiroko voids her stomach contents all over the ground as soon as the bullies leave.

* Also happens in ''[[Bokurano]]'', where {{spoiler|Ushiro}} vomits during his battle due to the accumulated stress. He recovers a little faster and has to change clothes before continuing, {{spoiler|winning, ''and'' dying.}}

* In the un-edited versions of [[Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball Z]] Gohan kicks Cell in the stomach so hard he causes him to puke up Android 18, along with lots of acid.

* Kagura from ''[[Gintama]]'' does this in the middle of the street in one episode, grossing everyone out with the stench. The [[OVA]] proudly touts the fact that she's the first Shounen Jump heroine to throw up (though she may have been predated by...)

** Nel Tu's "drool" has healing powers. When she runs dry, she tries tugging on her uvula to get more out and quickly learns it wasn't drool at all.

* In ''[[Spirited Away]]'', the monster No-Face eats and then later barfs up pretty much every single bit of food in the whole bathhouse, along with a few staff members, who are dirty and shocked but otherwise none the worse for the wear. Also subverted in that it's not exactly vomit as he has no digestive system to speak of.

* One chapter of ''[[Naruto]]'' has Tsunade vomiting after drinking too much and not only is it clearly visible, it is the ''first'' thing we see when the narrative switches to her from somewhere else. [[Bowdlerise|The anime removes this, and skips that part of the scene]].

** Earlier there was one from Kabuto before the first test of the Chuunin Exams after getting attacked by a provoked group of Sound Ninja. Again, in the anime, he just gets nauseous/disoriented.

** Naruto ends up thorwing when trying to use a [[Breath Weapon]] attack that is described as being a lot like vomiting and he gets the wrong idea. The actual vomiting happens between panels, but we do get a view of the vomit leaking out of his mouth.

* Nyaata does this at one point in ''[[Cat Soup]]''.

** Also used in the Satoko arc when {{spoiler|Satoko has a MASSIVE breakdown after Keiichi patted her head}}.

*** Another one during the Satoko arc comes when {{spoiler|Keiichi discovers the [[Body Horror|disemboweled remains]] of [[Kill the Cutie|Rika]].}} [[Justified Trope|Totally understandable though.]]

* Happens rather frequently in ''[[Gantz]]'' when some of the more squeamish players witness the gruesome deaths of the others.

* This happens frequently in [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]. It's usually... ''pink''.

** Episode 5-B is titled "Vomiting Point". Just saying.

* Happens every so often in ''[[Berserk]]''. Guts usually goes for a special juicy blood flavor, what with all of the internal damage he sustains. [[Squick|Yum.]]

* Yukiteru once does this in ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' after being attacked.

 

== Comic Books ==

* German comic ''[[Rudi]]''. Sometimes even on other people (yuck).

* Italian comic ''[[Cattivik]]''. And is [[Nausea Fuel|disgusting.]]

 

== Film ==

* The projectile vomiting in ''[[The Exorcist]]'' is [[Trope Codifier|likely the best known example.]]

* ''[[Audition]]'' has the creepy [[Yandere]] puke into a bowl off-screen... only for her to come back on screen with a steaming dog-dish of vomit, which she forces her mutilated ex-boyfriend to lap up.

** There is also real vomiting by an extra in said scene [[Enforced Method Acting|as he's truly disgusted by all that's happening]].

** By the end it looks he's vomited twice his own weight.

* Daryl VanHorne in ''[[The Witches of Eastwick]]'', inducing vomiting via magic ("Have another cherry") and later suffering as the spell is used on him.

** The main problem [[Rupert Grint]] had with the scene was actually spitting out the slugs. The prop slugs were made from chocolate pudding and flavoured gelatin, and apparently very tasty.

* The "eating contest" scene from ''[[Stand by Me]]'' (which quickly develops into a [[Vomit Chain Reaction]]).

* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: Dead Man's Chest'', where Norrington has had more rum than he could handle the previous night.

* In ''Holy Smoke'', right after the main character discovers that her father isn't actually ill, she chunders into a trash can in extreme close-up. The fact that it's very obviously phony somehow doesn't make it any better. At all.

* ''[[Miller's Crossing]]''. The protagonist Tom Reagan takes Bernie Bernbaum out to Miller's Crossing to kill him, but lets Bernie go after he shamelessly begs for his life. Later [[Psycho for Hire|The Dane]] hears a rumor that Bernie is still alive, so he takes Tom back to the site to either find Bernie's body or leave Tom's there. Tom Reagan appears to be taking his impending death a lot more bravely than Bernie, when he suddenly stops and throws up on the ground.

* Practically the selling point of the ''[[Jackass]]'' movies which feature the group's reaction to their more pungent... activities.

** Technically, he didn't vomit because the stuff that issued from his mouth was whitish in color - just like the cereal and milk he had just been eating. The food wasn't even half-digested, as it had not gotten the opportunity to mix with his gastric juices. So he just regurgitated, which is a little less disgusting.

* ''[[Four Rooms]]'' has Tim Roth throwing up over the sight (and smell) of {{spoiler|a dead hooker}}. This gets extra funny points for being shot and flash-cut (in the style known from the "what did you do to our hostage" scene in ''[[From Dusk till Dawn]])'' by [[Robert Rodriguez]] and for ''coming completely out of nowhere.''

* Name a [[Judd Apatow]] movie. Any one will do. (One of the best Vomit Indiscretion Shots in any of his movies though, goes to the part in ''[[Superbad]]'' when Evan spews all over Seth, and then Seth yells "WHAT THE FUCK???".)

* ''[[The Hangover]]'' features three of these.

* River Tam vomits chunky style in ''[[Serenity]]''.

* Used repeatedly in ''[[Hot Tub Time Machine]]''. That poor squirrel...

* In ''Joshua'' the title character is disgusted with the way his family treats his baby sister compared to him that he makes himself vomit onscreen to make them pay attention to him.

* In ''[[Apollo 13]]'', Fred Haise succumbs to motion sickness upon reaching Earth orbit, and coughs up a chunk of vomitus into the zero-gravity environment of the spacecraft. (The scene was actually filmed in an airplane dedicated to parabolic flights to simulate zero gravity, nicknamed ... the Vomit Comet.)

* ''[[50 First Dates]]'' practically starts off with a vomiting walrus.

* In ''[[How High]]'', Tuan lets loose a ''geyser'' of vomit while helping Silas beta-test his truth serum.

{{quote|'''Silas:''' I'm-a have to tweak this shit a little.}}

* [[Bottom|Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson's]] ''Guest House Paradiso'' has what may be the vomit indiscretion shots to end all vomit indiscretion shots. Not only does almost every single character disgorge ''gallons'' of green slime after accidentally eating contaminated fish, but they do so with such force that one of them is ''blown out of a window'' IIRC. Critics hated this movie, for some reason.

* ''[[The Parole Officer]]'' has Simon and George discussing the upcoming heist aboard the Pepsi Max Big One, the UK's largest roller-coaster. Simon's delicate stomach isn't up to it, and he pukes - extensively, and repeatedly - which rains back down the carriages until the Girl Scout behind him is liberally coated in the stuff.

* In the film ''[[Persepolis]]'', Marjane Satrapi depicts herself violently projectile vomiting as she recalls how bad her ex-boyfriend's "literature" was.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[Tosh.0]]'' is virtually built upon this trope.

* Happens in the mini-series ''Helter Skelter'' (a dramatization of the Charles Manson murders). When a friend of the victims sees the body of Sharon Tate at the opening crime scene, he rushes offscreen and outside for what the viewers ''think'' will be a [[Vomit Discretion Shot]]. Instead, he stops in front of a window and hurls the contents of his stomach in full view.

* ''[[Law and Order]]: [[Law and Order Special Victims Unit|SVU]]'': In one episode, a young man learns that his murdered girlfriend was, unbeknownst to him, his sister. Cue the facial contortions of disgust and vomiting.

* ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'' features "Vomiting Kermit" as an occasionally-used sight gag.

* ''[[Torchwood]]'': "Dead Man Walking" features an 8-second long shot of Owen spraying out a ridiculous quantity of beer while standing on his head because {{spoiler|that's the only way to get the beer out, since his current status as undead means he has no gag reflex or digestive functions}}.

* In ''[[Little Britain]]'', there are characters who copiously vomit whenever it's mentioned the food they ate was prepared by someone from a minority. It's one of those jokes that might work once, but [[If It Was Funny the First Time|when you've seen one you've seen them all]].

* ''[[Dexter]]'' has a blatant vomit shot in the second season, when {{spoiler|Harry hurls after seeing young Dexter's handiwork(a partially dismembered corpse) for the first time.}} The camera is even staring up for the garbage can.

* In the first episode of ''[[Brideshead Revisited]]'' Sebastian throws up after binge-drinking. Presumably the reviewer who wrote "every frame is a Rembrandt" was forgetting those few frames.

** Incidentally, the first few times he hosted SNL, [[Alec Baldwin]] pitched an unfunny and inexplicable parody of the above called "Bird's Head Regurgitated". Maybe that's where he got the idea.

** Then there's Connor in [[Angel]] when they find the family dead in that one season 4 ep.

* Ben vomited upon his arrival in Tunisia in the ''[[Lost]]'' episode "The Shape of Things to Come." {{spoiler|This was repeated when Locke arrived in Tunisia the same way.}}

** While not up to Pilot or Rygel's levels, [[Magnificent Bastard|Scorpius]] would often spurt out truley epic levels of bodily fluid to signify he was injured or in pain.

** And now, after the premiere of ''Strange Detractors'' comic, we can remove ''Moya'' from that list, as she's seen puking after taking a medicine.

* Bunk Moreland in the third season of ''[[The Wire]],'' during a policeman's wake. Thankfully, he did it ''outside'' the bar, not inside. [[Nausea Fuel|Then he continues drinking]].

** The young drug dealer Poot is the first to act after The Pit is robbed at gunpoint by Omar's crew in season one: he vomits chunkily on the floor of the stash house.

** Betty, after a party where Jimmy Barret (correctly) infers Don was cheating on her with his wife, vomits on the car ride home.

* One ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch involved [[Vomiting Cop|cops seeing a body so mutilated that it caused them to vomit uncontrollably]] (from a tube running up their sleeves), and continued for several minutes and others entered the scene, saw the body, and [[Overly Long Gag|themselves began vomiting.]]

* ''[[Peep Show]]'' takes this to the logical extreme, and gives us the wonderful image of vomiting [[Squick|from the vomiters POV]].

* On ''[[24]]'', Jack did it after {{spoiler|shooting Curtis}}.

** He was also forced to vomit when he was tortured in Season Two

* On ''[[The Sopranos]]'', when Adriana La Cerva is graphically pressured to become an informer for the government, she blows chunks all over an FBI conference room, and an FBI agent.

** And Tony himself, during an emotionally charged meeting with his underbosses shortly after being shot.

** In the Cold Feet myth, there was a bucket-cam, so after Kari had a piece of cricket stuck in the back of her throat, first we were treated to her gagging directly into the camera, and then vomiting on it. Thanks for that, guys.

* In the first episode of ''[[NCIS]]'' Kate, who's suffering from the flu, throws up in an evidence bag which is promptly bagged and tagged by Gibbs, as they're investigating a possible poisoning case.

* On an episode of Crank Yankers a man converting to Judaism calls a rabbi who then advises that he get a circumcision. Upon learning the details of the circumcision he becomes violently ill. "Wait, how many rabbis will be present?" "Three." "BRRAWWRRRQUAARRLLLARAARRFFF!!!"

* [[CSI]] has Sara doing it during the autopsy of "Liquid Man"

 

== Music ==

* Gene Simmons of [[Kiss]] is famous for puking blood on stage.

** That's NOT fake vomit....

* [[Eminem]] pukes on [[Michael Jackson]] (or better said, himself playing MJ) in the video for ''Just Lose It''.

* In [[Katy Perry]]'s "Last Friday Night (TGIF)" video, her character throws up in a shoe during the party.

 

== Theater ==

* ''[[God of Carnage]]''

 

== Theme Parks ==

* The [[Waterworld|Slaughterworld]] show at Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights ran for several years, and the 2007 and 2008 shows both included over the top vomit gags: the 2007 show had an executioner shoot a zombie in the gut to cause him to vomit all over another cast member, while the 2008 show had two minions faced with the throat slashing of an atoller begin profusely spraying vomit over the set and each other for 30 seconds straight.

 

== Video Games ==

* Lying somewhere between this and the [[Vomit Discretion Shot]], ''[[Metroid]] Prime 3: Corruption'' has Samus getting more and more corrupted by the radioactive Phazon as the game goes on. After some bosses die, they dump a load of liquid Phazon on her, driving the corruption forwards. The first time this happens she kneels on the ground and the camera cuts to a shot diagonally from behind and pulls back; we can clearly see Samus spewing up a pool of neon-blue liquid.

* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' characters vomit in a bright green stream accompanied by a rather disgusting noise. Since the game features fully positionable camera angles, you can get as close to (or as far away from) the action as you desire. Also, puking on players is a standard combat tactic of certain Undead units.

* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' is frank about it. "(Target) vomits." (usually from damage to internal organs) and then there is a pool of vomit on the ground.

** Do your dwarves suffer from cave adaptation? Congrats, the front of your fortress is now caked with layer upon layer of [[Sublime Rhyme|dwarf barf]].

* In ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' there's an incident where [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Fou-lu]] literally vomits [[Blood From the Mouth|copious amounts of blood]]. Admittedly, this is also because Fou-lu was at Ground Zero of a [[Fantastic Nuke]] detonation. A [[Fantastic Nuke]] ''[[Powered by a Forsaken Child|powered by his GIRLFRIEND]]'', as he finds out about five seconds after he's heaved his own spleen out his mouth.

** This is incredibly remarkable, of note, considering that ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' easily suffered the ''worst'' [[Bowdlerization]] of the entire series, and a far less graphic scene (which was solely depicted as a [[Shadow Discretion Shot]]/[[Gory Discretion Shot]]) was removed from international versions ''entirely'' resulting in an [[Aborted Arc]] By Censorship.

*** And yes, in case you're wondering: That scene and its ramped [[Up to Eleven]] [[Off with His Head]] aftermath is a direct [[Take That]] to the previously mentioned censorship.

* ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'' features a minor [[NPC]] (and the [[Player Character]], if [[Picky People Eater|Ventrue]]) vomiting ''[[Squick|blood]]''.

* In ''[[Dead Rising 2]]'' , Chuck Greene can attempt to rescue a drunken showgirl... who will vomit repeatedly over the course of their conversation. It's interesting to note that people can vomit in this game but not the first one, even though you could technically get food poisoning. Chuck also gets terribly sick if he drinks three alcohol items in a row. This contributes to the difficulty of [[That One Boss]] at a certain point in the game, because the area that you have to fight in has no healing items on hand except for beer and margaritas.

** Also Laughing Octopus vomits up some kind of... Octopus ink or something after she comes out of her suit.

** You can also make him (and EVA too) vomit by spinning their character models around in the Survival Viewer, then returning to game.

* Happens occasionally in the 3D [[Mortal Kombat]] games:

* In the first ''[[Bloody Roar]]'', certain low attacks that connect to stomach could break the opponent, forcing them to fall on one knee and vomit on the stage.

* In ''[[Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare]]'', if John Marson sits at a cannibal's camp long enough, John will take a bite out of the cannibal's stash of human flesh, causing John to vomit it right back out.

* In ''[[Heavy Rain]]'', if you choose to kill the drug dealer, Ethan will throw up afterwards.

* In [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]], the vomit is weaponized by the Afflicted, people tainted by a disease from Peryite, a [[Physical God|Daedric Prince]] whose purview includes pestilences.

 

== Web Comics ==

* ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' brings us [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/11/3/ four panels] of Gabe puking.

* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' had this done on a guestcomic. [http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=061216 It was bad milk.]

* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' had a panel of [[It Makes Sense in Context|Sean puking out a ghost wizard]] that took up almost the entire page.

** Also, as the kid in "Meet the Doctor and his Friendly Staff" showed us, a symptom of Paul Bunyan's disease is projectile vomiting, which apparently smells like maple syrup.

* ''[[Times Like This]]'': [http://www.timeslikethis.com/?id=56 UNNNHHHHHHHH!] {{spoiler|Which gives Master P a helluva great idea for a new rap record!}}

 

== Web Original ==

"How can you tell?"

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}-Cec2iAgW1Q&feature{{=}}related "*RAAAAIIIINNNBOOOWWS!!!*"] }}

* Althought this is more of a text example, it fits the topic. In chapter 4 of ''Jury Macnitier'', Jury gets sick from her powers awakening in full, so after she takes a bow at her school play, she barfs up green sludge that smells awful, as the story describes. You can only see the projectile vomit hitting the audience, but it's enough.

 

* A Season 3 episode of ''[[Rugrats]]'', "Chuckie Loses His Glasses", involves Angelica stealing Chucky's glasses, wearing them herself throughout episode. However they cause her to feel dizzy and nauseated by the time her father returns to take her home. He notices she seems unwell and picks her up. Angelica then proceeds to spew straight into the camera and onto her dad's shirt. The actual vomiting part is cut in some showings of the episode.

* You can almost guarantee that every episode of ''[[Drawn Together]]'' will feature at least a dozen exaggerated vomit scenes (being a [[Gross-Out Show]]), sometimes in one scene. This is taken to extremes in a third season scene in which Toot vomits at least 10 times, basically accounting for each line that she gives.

* In one episode ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' had a [[Show Within a Show]] called ''Danger Dog''. The villain in the show had a "puke ray".

** Also done in a ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' parody in one of the ''Treehouse of Horror'' episodes. Bart is tasked to turn a frog into a prince but just makes a bloated frog monster that vomits every three seconds.

* In the only animated ''[[Tales from the Crypt]]'' episode "The Third Pig" Drinky Pig vomits constantly because he, well, drinks a lot. Dudley Pig also vomits when he discovers his brothers' murdered bodies.

** The episode "Forever Ambergris" has a man who's been infected with a flesh-rotting virus clearly vomit onscreen. And then [[Body Horror|it gets worse]].
