Vomiting Cop: Difference between revisions

* Ciel Phantomhive of ''[[Black Butler]]'' fame does this not once, but twice in the manga. First time was in reaction to witnessing the death throes of [[Jack the Ripper|Mary Jane Kelly]], which happens both in the anime and manga. The second one was manga only: {{spoiler|he vomits in reaction to his [[Stalker with a Crush]] rebuilding a sacrificial chamber, the very one Ciel almost died in pre-series. Combining the mental trauma with the brutal murder of children younger than he is a few chapters before likely did it.}} To be fair, Ciel is [[Improbable Age|only thirteen years old]] and is not technically a cop, though he does investigate on the Queen's orders.

* During the "Jungle Cruise" episode of ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'', Togusa, the rookie of the team, has to run to the guardrail clutching his mouth after seeing a particularly gruesome murder caught on video.

** Not just seeing. He was using a direct cyber-link to the investigator on the scene, experiencing everything, including the smell in perfect clarity. The experienced members of the squad just watch the video feed. Ofcourse most of the experienced members could also turn off their sense of smell if they wanted to.

* Mentioned but not seen in ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]: Innocence'', where Ishikawa oversees a crime scene by himself, explaining that the rookie with him got reacquainted with his lunch, and he sent him to personally take the corpse to lab as a "learning experience".

* Occurs in the ''[[Lucifer (comics)|Lucifer]]'' comic when the cops apprehend Charlie Gilmour for the murder of his wife and child.

* In the [[Batman]] spinoff ''Streets of Gotham,'' Robin calls the police for backup after finding that the orphans Humpty Dumpty had taken were actually corpses he'd found and was trying to heal. The boy barely gets half way through the call before handing the communicator over to Batman to go throw up. Mind you this is ''Damian Wayne,'' the resident stab-happy assassin of the Bat clan we're talking about here.

* At her first crime scene, [[Anita Blake]] threw up ''on'' the corpse.

* In [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Dark Half]]'', when a body of a brutally murdered man was found by Norris Ridgewick, a deputy of a small-town sheriff, he threw up, but managed to avoid the corpse.

* ''[[Discworld/Making Money|Making Money]]'' had a cop that vomited after Moist managed to remove Cosmo's glove, just to give an idea on how disgustingly, nose-cacklingly decayed Cosmo's hand had become. So many... colors. So many... wiggling things.

** Also, Cheery Littlebottom puked in ''[[Feet Ofof Clay (novel)|Feet of Clay]]'', upon seeing her first murder victim.

* In [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s ''[[Heralds of Valdemar|Changes]]'', four spies are [[You Have Failed Me...|murdered by their replacements]] and left to decompose in a sealed room for a couple days in summer. The result makes several of "the most experienced and hardened Guardsmen ... violently ill." The crime scene investigators aren't fazed at all, though.

** Slight variation in the television show: Harry walks in on Dexter and, realizing what he's created, is violently sick.

* Happened to an off-screen investigator in the pilot of ''[[Fringe]]'' upon inspecting a plane whose passengers fell victim to a flesh-rotting something-or-other.

* In the episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' where she loses her powers ("Helpless"), Giles, an experienced Watcher, is overcome when he sees the mutilated body of another Watcher. [[Gory Discretion Shot|The body was left offscreen]], but there's blood all over the walls.

* Danny, the Safety Patrol photographer and [[Plucky Comic Relief]] in ''[[Fillmore!]]'', is often subject to this trope, often after seeing minor acts of vandalism.

* Spoofed a couple of times in ''[[South Park]]'' in one Officer Yates vomits after uncovering some toilet paper used on a house, and again after finding out Michael "Jefferson" isn't black.
