Basic Trope: A character is shown vomiting onscreen.
- Straight: Alice throws up onscreen.
- Exaggerated:
- The vomit is very realistic-looking.
- Alice vomits for an exceedingly long time.
- Every time someone throws up in the work, it is shown on camera.
- Alice vomits on the camera.
- Downplayed:
- The vomit is unrealistic-looking.
- Alice only throws up for a very short amount of time.
- This only happens once or twice in the work.
- Even though the act of vomiting is shown onscreen, it's only in the background.
- Alice pukes into the toilet offscreen and it cuts to the toilet before the last of the chunks swirl down.
- Justified: Alice was sick, and had no time to run off-camera.
- Inverted: Vomit Discretion Shot
- Subverted:
- Alice makes multiple gagging noises, but runs off-camera right before she throws up.
- The scene ends up being cut from some broadcasts of the show.
- Double Subverted:
- The camera later cuts to Alice puking.
- The scene gets added back into broadcasts.
- Parodied: Alice throws up something comically unrealistic, such as rainbows.
- Zig-Zagged: In this work, this trope is often used alongside Vomit Discretion Shot.
- Averted: No one vomits.
- Enforced: The work is a Gross-Out Show.
- Lampshaded: "That's a lot of puke!"
- Invoked: Alice forces herself to vomit and she does it on-screen.
- Exploited: Alice vomits while fighting against the enemy, which disgusts him too much to keep fighting.
- Defied:
- Alice refuses to vomit on-camera.
- Right before Alice is about to throw up, Bob switches off the camera.
- Discussed: "That's really gross!"
- Conversed: "Why is it so common for characters to throw up on camera?"
