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.

== Advertising ==

* 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.}}

* 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]]''.

* In the Japanese version of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', episode 65, at the end everyone goes out for pizza and Usagi is chugging soda. Rei teased her again so Usagi yelled at her and when Rei said what she said was true, Usagi turns gray and throws the soda up on Rei.

* 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.]]

** 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.

* In ''[[Parenthood (film)|Parenthood]]'', [[Steve Martin|Gil's]] daughter unexpectedly vomits all over him after a baseball game.

* 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.

* ''[[Oz]]'' is a very mature show, so when people get sick we tend to see it. For example, Ryan has frequent bouts of nausea after receiving chemotherapy for his breast cancer. Averted in the case of Adebisi after he was rejected by Shirley and called a racist term, he becomes so upset that he trashes his room, smokes pot, and crawls over to his toilet where he vomits, but we don't see it.

* ''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.

** 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 ==

* [[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 ==

* 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 ''[[Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'', if Luis drinks too much alcohol in one of the game's two nightclubs, he'll vomit right before blacking out.

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

* Under certain situations, you can get your Sims to vomit in ''[[The Sims]]''. It comes out pink though.

* 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 ''[[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.

* Doug is known for this in ''[[Fletcher Apts]]''.

** 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 ==

* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E22 A Bird in the Hoof|A Bird in the Hoof]]", Fluttershy tries taking care of Princess Celestia's sick bird. At one point the bird vomits ''onto Fluttershy's face''. She doesn't seem to be too bothered by this.

** This also happens in the earlier episode, "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E10 Swarm of the Century|Swarm Of The Century]]". A parasprite vomits into Rarity's eye, revealing that this is how they reproduce. She seems just a ''bit'' bothered by this...
