15[[caption-width-right:231:Barging into a subject like that while he's drinking? Really, Zii [[GenreBlindness should know better]].]]
16
17->''[spits out water] "'''Why is it that I'm always drinking when a scene like that happens?!'''"''
18-->-- '''The Critic''' (reviewing ''Film/MilkMoney''), ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''
19
20A variant of TheTake to an unexpected event that involves spraying food or, more commonly, drink from a character's mouth. In some cases, the character sprays their drink out of their nose instead of their mouth. It can be TruthInTelevision, as many people can attest, though in real life, unexpected laughter is more likely than shock to induce such a reaction. The non-eating version is generally a "pfft".
21
22Why surprising news or the punchline of a joke is so often delivered when a character has a full mouth can only be ascribed to RuleOfFunny. May also be part of an IAteWhat reaction to the efforts of a LethalChef or CordonBleughChef.
23
24A common LampshadeHanging for this trope is when a character [[DelayedReaction pauses]] to take a drink just so he has something to spit out in reaction.
25
26See also: DoubleTake, DramaticDrop, DiscreetDrinkDisposal, and StoppedDeadInTheirTracks. Not to be confused with SpitShake. Compare SprayingDrinkFromNose, which is usually caused by laughter instead of surprise. Unrelated to SpitShine.

138** Comed-tea comes with a guarantee that before you're finished drinking it, you'll encounter something surprising enough to make you spill it on yourself. Harry buys some because RealityWarper soft drinks are too valuable to pass up, and is bothered for a month trying to figure out how it works. [[spoiler:It turns out that the soda isn't exactly making things happen; rather, it predicts the future and gives you an urge to drink it when something surprising is about to happen.]] The one time he deliberately ignores the urge to drink it, he ''inhales his own saliva'' and has a coughing fit at [[spoiler:Dumbledore unexpectedly drawing everyone's attention to him for his views on Quidditch]].

The Uzumaki then says that Hinata has a great body and that it's amazing how all Hyuga women are so sexy. Hinata spits her meal upon hearing that and naturally expects her father to have a negative reaction. However, much to her shock, Hiashi smiles and says that, despite Naruto's statement being rather crude, he accepts the compliment on behalf of the clan.
154* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Izuku barely keeps himself from spewing his tea all over the table when All Might tells him that he couldn't find anything on Izuku's spaceship even with his connections. After the U.A. Entrance Exam, Izuku has a full one after All Might reveals that [[spoiler:U.A. already knows Izuku's identity as an alien]].
155-->'''Izuku:''' Oh, wait, this stuff and the other stuff reminds me: do all the teachers know about your injury?\
156'''All Might:''' They know the basics of my Quirk and injury, but only the principal and Recovery Girl know the specifics of One for All and my fight from six years ago. Naturally, they also don’t know that we have any sort of pre-existing relationship.\
157'''Izuku:''' I guess that makes sense. ''[takes a sip of tea]''\

164* TD's sister Kristen does one of these in ''Fanfic/TheNonBronyverse'' fic ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/82686/5 TD's Little Rarity]]'' once he tells her he spent two months in Equestria.
165* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'': Misato spat her coffee, nearly ruining the equipment around her, when Shinji did a double entendre.
166-->You're three for three Shinji; you really have some nice moves, you know" Akagi spoke up from behind her glasses, looking down her clipboard as she studied raw columns of numbers that were utter gibberish to anyone but her and her staff...\
167"Yeah that's what she said last night" Shinji smiled back with a jerk of his head towards Misato.\
168The poor Captain damn near sent the coffee she had been sipping back out over the very expensive equipment around her; an expression of shock and utter stunned amazement crashing onto her face as Shinji's casually offered comment echoed across the room.

175* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9884704/12/Riddle-And-The-Ancient-Contract Riddle and the Ancient Contract]]'' Minister Fudge does it when he spots a ''Daily Prophet'' headline stating '''PENSIEVE MEMORY PROVES YOU-KNOW-WHO IS ALIVE'''.
176* ''Fanfic/TheRigelBlackChronicles'': You'd think that a millennia-old sentient magical artefact would have SeenItAll, but Harry gets Dom to choke on his (illusory mental construct) tea by telling him about the advertised prize for winning the Triwizard Tournament.
177-->'''Dom:''' The Rod of ''Zuriel''? They're giving ''that'' hunk of self-important rock to the winner? Why not simply kill them and enslave their will in the spectral plane right off? It would certainly involve less oration.

186* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/46730197 A Taste of Magic]]'': Lavender and Harry are having a sweet moment, where he makes her an egg on toast to cheer her up, while she tells him about her family's financial struggles and how she never knew her birth mother.

197** In Chapter 41, Cross does this when Vivi says [[spoiler: she unlocked a version of ''Conqueror's Haki'']].

203-->"I can't let you retire," the Sandaime held up a hand, forestalling Kakashi's protest, "but I can take you off active duty and make you part of the reserves. You'll be expected to keep up with your training, and in the event of a serious threat to the village, you will be reactivated. Otherwise, for all intents and purposes, you will be a civilian unless you choose to return to active duty."\
204Kakashi bowed deeply, relief loosening the tightness in his chest.\
205"Thank you, Hokage-sama."\
206The Sandaime picked up his pipe and sucked in a deep lungful of tobacco.\
207"So do you have a plan for what you're going to do next?" he asked after blowing out a cloud of blue smoke.\
208Kakashi smiled, the most honest, relaxed expression he’d managed since Rin’s death, and waited for the Sandaime to take another pull on his pipe before answering.\
209"Well, a friend of mine keeps suggesting I open a bakery, so I thought I'd do that."\
210There was something vaguely satisfying about watching the God of Shinobi nearly choke to death on his own pipe.
211* ''Fanfic/TheWrongReflection'' has Eleya lose a mouthful of springwine when her father out of nowhere asks when she and Gaarra are getting married.
212* ''Fanfic/InTheGrimDarknessOfThe41stMillenniumNobodyBeatsGIJoe'' ''invokes'' this trope - Poker Face gives a Commissar recaf, and General Hawk waits for the exact moment he drinks it to drop the following line:
213->"Excellent," says General Hawk, with a perfectly straight face. "Now that our victory is assured, it is vital that we perform a cowardly retreat!"
214->Recaf shoots out of the commissar's nose, reducing him to a coughing mess.

237* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie'': Deliberately invoked by Bruce Wayne where, after hearing from Barbara Gordon that she wants to get rid of Batman.

A much more powerful spit-take happened during [[http://youtu.be/dR_wNXvcZ9g?t=2m8s an outtake]] as Creator/MichaelJFox was unaware that the prop drink contained real alcohol, and subsequently spilled it all over himself, then burst out laughing.

Wrestling/DwayneJohnson ad-libbed Hobbs' line, so the spit take was a genuine reaction that [[ThrowItIn the directors decided to keep]].
296* ''Film/{{Frida}}'': Diego draws a pistol when Siqueiros insults him, so Frida defuses the TestosteronePoisoning by saying she'll dance with the man who takes the [[GiganticGulp biggest swig from a bottle]]. Diego looks like winning until Siqueiros makes funny insult, causing Diego to spit out the drink and [[ActuallyPrettyFunny start laughing]].

357[[folder:Literature]]
358* In ''[[Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo 1635: The Dreeson Incident]]'', Chad Jenkins, politically relatively [[UsefulNotes/AmericanPoliticalSystem conservative in the up-time US sense]], winds up spewing his coffee clear across the table he was sitting at when he finds out that the town he represents will essentially be the "hippie district" in the State of Thuringia-Franconia's Senate, with the state capital moving from Grantville to Bamberg, but leaving behind most of the education and technology centers.
359* In ''Literature/AmeliaBedelia Unleashed'', Amelia Bedelia's mother does this after Amelia Bedelia suggests that she could have twins.
360* Lori does one of these when Jinks the jester vaults over her garden wall to introduce himself in ''[[Literature/AuntDimity Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon]]''.

362* ''Literature/BewareOfChicken'':
363** Meihua gets Meiling shortly after they've first met Jin, and when Meiling has just had a sip of tea.

365'''Meiling''': Wha-Uh? Not- Maybe-Nev-- ''Meihua''!
366** Yun Ren times his strike carefully, waiting for Hong Xiao to question Meiling about her visit to Jin, tease her about the liberties she took with him, and then get himself a cup of water while she splutters.
367---> '''Yun Ren''': Also, [[spoiler:Jin's chicken killed Sun Ken, and we met the Young Mistress of the Verdant Blade Sect]].\
368The water went down the wrong way.
369** Yun Ren himself later almost chokes when [[spoiler:the Shrouded Mountain sect serves a rare delicacy of Gold Grade rice -- which Yun knows full well came from Jin. The rice goes down the wrong way as he tries to stop himself from laughing.]]
370** Defied, with difficulty, by the Magistrate, when he hears that [[spoiler:Tigu won second place in the Dueling Peaks Tournament]]. He does manage to make himself swallow his tea, but it's a near thing, with every muscle in his body clenching.
371* In ''Literature/ACivilCampaign'', specifically during '''that''' dinner party, an idle comment about Aral Vorkosigan's adopted son taking Clement "Kou" Koudelka's youngest daughter to the [[FreeLoveFuture Betan]] tourist attraction called the Orb of Unearthly Delights[[note]](where one can observe or sample ''any'' form of sex that could involve consenting adults in a medically supervised environment)[[/note]] is made while Kou is having a glass of wine.

373* In the ''Literature/DirtyBertie'' story "Boast", Bertie spits out mash after hearing he will be in a concert after his mother lies that he can play the trumpet.
374* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
375** In ''Literature/FeetOfClay'', Nobby gets told by a cadre of nobles that they want him to become king.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''last'' king of Ankh-Morpork was famously beheaded several centuries ago. The beheader was the ancestor of Commander Vimes (Nobby's boss) and one thing that bred true was hatred of royalty. Nobby was suddenly picturing in his head the image of Vimes "[[UnstoppableRage going spare]]".[[/labelnote]] Since he's gulping down brandy, smoking a cigar, and sitting in a chair with wheels at the time, the result is a [[BoozeFlamethrower rocket-powered spit-take]].
376** Near the end of ''Literature/{{Snuff}}'', Commander Vimes gets a much-needed cup of coffee, only to spit it all out when he's told by a Quirmian guard [[spoiler:the goblin slaves from the ''Wonderful Fanny'' have been put on a boat to [[DarkestAfrica Howondaland]]]].
377--->Never in the field of coffee-making had so much of the stuff been sprayed so far and over so many.

380* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
381** In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'': The morning before the end of the tournament, Hermione sits down to breakfast, opens her newspaper... and spits a mouthful of pumpkin juice all over it in shock. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial She then insists nothing's wrong.]]
382** Non-comedic example in ''Prisoner of Azkaban'' -- Harry spits out some of his butterbeer when Lupin explains [[FateWorseThanDeath the Dementor's Kiss]] to him.
383* In ''The Impossible Virgin'', a Literature/ModestyBlaise novel, Modesty and Willie are discussing what to do about the villain over a glass of wine. Their friend Giles (an amiable fellow without a mean or fighting bone in his body) casually offers to help dispose of the body just as Willie takes a sip, causing a spray of wine and an impressive display of choking from Willie.
384* ''Literature/TheMer'' is an underwater example. When Shona tells Val that she became a mer hundreds of years ago, Val is so startled that she chokes on ocean water and sprays it back out.
385* ''Literature/APieceInTheGameOfGods'': When a new level of power is unveiled in Part 38:
386--> Lauren nearly spat out her coffee while Cassandra gasped, "What the fuck does that mean?"

394* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N3Cc4A-6yo This "Sprite Challenge" video.]] (For context, the challenge was to drink an entire bottle of Sprite without burping.)
395[[/folder]]
396
397[[folder:Music]]
398* In "And Then I Noticed That She Was a Gargoyle" by ''Music/NanowarOfSteel'', this happens to the guy at a bar the main character is talking/singing to when he's describing his first date with someone from online... and then he sings the title sentence.
399* Happens at the beginning of Music/{{Weird Al|Yankovic}}'s ''Eat It'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJjMnHoIBI music video]].
400[[/folder]]
401
402[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
403* Wrestling/TripleH always spits out the contents of his water bottle during his entrance, so he often spit-takes onscreen.
404** When he was named to switch brands in the Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s 2004 draft, he immediately spit out the water he was drinking.
405** When DX were questioned over running down Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Road Dogg gave his real name as [[DoubleEntendre Dees Nuts]], causing Trips to spray out his water as he laughed.
406** During the 2009 Bragging Rights DX promo where they bashed Smackdown's team. Triple H once again spits his water out when Shawn whispers to him, he blurts out what he says right after: "He's banging Wrestling/VickieGuerrero?!"
407* Then there was "One Night Stand 2005", where Wrestling/PaulHeyman namedrops Wrestling/MattHardy in front of Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} -- who had recently yoinked Matt's girlfriend Wrestling/{{Lita}} (in real life, not kayfabe) -- and Edge spits out the beer he's drinking.
408* When Wrestling/MickFoley was the commissioner he once told Wrestling/AlSnow that he was giving him a title match. Al responded with "I have a match against The Rock for the WWF Title?!" Cue spit-take from Foley, who proceeded to explain that he was talking about the Hardcore title.
409* This was how Wrestling/SantinoMarella won a match against Wrestling/JackSwagger. [[Franchise/TheMuppets Beaker]] came down to the ring and gave him a potion which supposedly gave speed, power and agility to those who drank it... [[spoiler: only for Santino to promptly be surprised by Swagger and spit it in his face.]]
410* Wrestling/DavidOtunga actually managed two of these in one night.
411** First was when he was told that he would be facing a returning Great Khali. This spit take went straight into the face of one Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart.
412** When Otunga went on to mock Natalya, she promptly proceeded to slap Otunga across the face, making him spit more coffee all over a VERY unamused Teddy Long.
413* This tends to happen to those on the business end of a [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Stone Cold Stunner]] while drinking some beer (usually provided by Austin in the first place).
414[[/folder]]
415
416[[folder:Radio]]
417* ''Radio/TheGoonShow'': In ''The Fear of Wages'', this is done with loose change (Grytpype and Moriarty are StealingFromTheTill at their job in the Army pay corps, and Moriarty has the money hidden in his mouth).
418* This is the entire premise of Innuendo Bingo on [[Creator/TheBBC Radio 1]], where guests fill their mouths with water before listening to DoubleEntendre-laden clips sent in by listeners.
419* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Mr. Boynton does one ''with chili'' in "Weekend at Crystal Lake".
420[[/folder]]
421
422[[folder:Theatre]]
423* The [[ShowWithinAShow Play Within a Play]] in ''Theatre/TheDrowsyChaperone'' has one scene that consists of nothing ''but'' Spit Takes. This is because, according to the Man in the Chair, plays and musicals would have smaller, often meaningless scenes that could allow the crew to ready the stage for the next musical number. His reasoning is that in musicals - like in pornography - the plot takes a backseat to the "production numbers", and so an utterly meaningless scene consisting of only spit takes is placed to bridge two musical numbers.
424** Later, in the number ''Love is Always Lovely (In the End)'', Underling (who was the recipient of the spit-takes of the above scene) got to give one to Tottendale (who was doing the spitting) when she [[spoiler:confesses her love for him]]. The Man in the Chair notes that the song's title always reminded him of anal sex (love in the end - as in rear end, get it?), leading the audience to wonder why he associates sex and spitting.
425* The Creator/ReducedShakespeareCompany covers ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' in their performance, where [[spoiler: Ophelia's death scene]] is some screaming followed by a spit-take in reverse. [[spoiler: As a result, when they do the whole play backwards at the end, the spit-take is executed normally - and to hilarious effect.]]
426* Happens the first time one of the cast takes a swig of white spirit instead of whiskey (and [[RunningGag multiple times thereafter]]) in ''Theatre/ThePlayThatGoesWrong''.
427[[/folder]]
428
429[[folder:Video Games]]
430* ''VideoGame/CrashOfTheTitans'': Dr. N. Cortex overdoes it (spit-take, followed by throwing the cup, followed by a second spit-take) and Dr. N. Gin [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade on it]] ("Aw, c'mon! He didn't even have a cup!").
431* In ''VideoGame/{{Delicious}} 7: Emily's True Love'' the title character does one when her best friend Francois mentions that her sister's husband-to-be "volunteered" her cooking skills and restaurant for the wedding reception.
432* ''VideoGame/Disgaea5'': Seraphina's tea break turns into this upon hearing her Prinnies got stomped fighting The Lost.
433* In ''VideoGame/Halo2'', when the crew of the ''In Amber Clad'' finds a second Halo installation, Sergeant Johnson does the same as above with his cigar.
434* The Armor Games' {{Web Game|s}} ''[=In3structotank=]!'' during the introductory sequence. A RedAlert goes off while Dirk Danger is drinking coffee and he spits it out.
435* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' has a variation: Solid Snake is about to smoke his cigarette after asking why Liquid wants the original when a duplicate would work just fine (referring to Solid and Liquid's DNA) in regards to hacking the system. When he hears from Naomi that it's because they ''aren't'' identical to Big Boss, he then chokes on his cigarette smoke.
436* This is ''VideoGame/{{Octogeddon}}'''s reaction to the theater play making fun of octopi. Immediately followed by a RoaringRampageOfRevenge upon the Sydney Opera House.
437* In ''VideoGame/OfficeJerk'', the Jerk spews coffee if he takes a drink after you've landed something in his mug.
438* Used to ''hilarious'' effect in ''VideoGame/Persona4'', to illustrate just how mind-bendingly awful a particular batch of curry is, when immediately followed by keeling over ''sideways'' onto a picnic bench. Zero to horizontal in .1 seconds.
439-->"Sure enough, one strike."
440* In ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'', Dr. Nefarious spits out his drink after finding out his dimensional counterpart plans on conquering his and Ratchet's world.
441* ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'': [[ColonCancer Episode 204:]] [[WordSaladTitle Chariots of the Dogs]]'' actually requires Sam and Max to get another character to perform a spit-take, so they can use the DNA from his spit.'' [[spoiler:To be fair, that particular character's spit turns out to be a red herring. The spit Sam and Max ]][[spoiler:''really'']][[spoiler: need is taken from an envelope.]]
442** Sam later mentions that he ''wants'' to do one when he learns that [[spoiler: Brady Culture likes being in Hell]], but his mouth is too parched, so he settles on a BigWhat.
443* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64DNpYiqlEc this trailer]] for ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', Zangief has ''two'' massive spit-takes.
444* ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'': In the first chapter, Velvet does this (right in Arizona's face) after she was served a pumpkin spice latte.
445* ''VideoGame/ToontownOnline'' has this as one of the many "Squirt Gag" weapons.
446* At the end of the ''Legion'' expansion of ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', Saurfang and Baine are pondering over Trade Prince Gallywix's latest scheme. When Baine mentions Gallywix is sending his goblin teams to Silithus, Saurfang chokes on his mug of beer, growling out that nothing good has ''ever'' come out of Silithus (best known as the prison of the [[EldritchAbomination Old God C'thun]]).
447[[/folder]]
448
449[[folder:Visual Novels]]
450* Elcia from ''VisualNovel/AreaX'' does this in the Middle Ages when Pedoe tells her he wants her to be his 44th wife.
451* Gian from ''VisualNovel/LuckyDog1'' does this multiple times when he meets Rosalia in Ivan's route. First when she reveals she's a high ranking mafia member's granddaughter, second when she says Ivan is invited to lunch with the mafia member and third when she reveals she's Ivan's fiancée.
452* Hisao in ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' gets a few: once when Kenji describes books as "the medium our ancestors used to view porn" (ruining a library book in the process, to his horror), and another when Lilly's sister Akira casually reminds Lilly to use contraceptives... right in front of Hisao.
453* Godot does this often in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' whenever Phoenix discredits one of his witnesses' testimony. Parodied in some cases where Godot will actually [[GoingThroughTheMotions go through the motions]] of receiving his coffee, sniffing it, guzzling it down, and ''then'' spitting it out. In one instance Godot took ''two'' drinks. It's usually "symbolic" to the progress you've made, too, since Godot will only ever have 17 cups of coffee in one case, meaning if he's just spitting out coffee, he's coming to an end. Or if he's chugging them down, he's coming to an end for his benefit. To emphasize the whole parody he does in the game, it should be pointed out that he was GoingThroughTheMotions in the ''very first'' instance of this trope in the game ever. Even further lampshaded by Maya at one point.
454-->'''Godot:''' I've been made to eat my words once again!\
455'''Maya:''' Actually you've been made to do a spit-take... with a cup of coffee.
456** In case 4 ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'', when [[spoiler:Uendo]] is drinking tea while he's on the witness stand, he does one of these when Athena says something he finds surprising.
457[[/folder]]
458
459[[folder:Web Animation]]
460* ''[[WebVideo/MLPAnalysis A Buck to the Face]]'': The review of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E14StrangerThanFanFiction Stranger Than Fan Fiction]]" has Brawny Buck drinking water from a bottle (despite the usual LimitedAnimation) just so that he can do a spit-take upon seeing the body pillow of Daring Do all tied up.
461* Used and {{inverted| trope}} in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G0GAmZGkkY this short]] from ''WebAnimation/TheCyanideAndHappinessShow''.
462* ''WebAnimation/ADayInDraculasLife'': "This had better be important, because I am trying to enjoy my TEA."

466-->'''"STOP THE HUMEN!"'''
467* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': In "Eyes Cold Lemonade", Giggles [[TearOffYourFace gets her face ripped off by a falling sign.]] When Petunia sees this, she spits her lemonade ''right into Giggles's open wounds''.
468* Happens on occasion in ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'':
469** In "Loo Loo Land," a sexually explicit comment from Stolas gets both Blitzo (over the phone with him) and Octavia (in the same room as him) to Spit Take at the same time, and say the same thing right after.

471* ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'':
472** Watame does this in Subaru's face in ''[[WebAnimation/HololiveHolonoGraffiti holo no graffiti]]'' after consuming coffee. Surprisingly enough, she likes it.
473** Mio also does this after learning about a bikini-wearing sausage in ''Sausage Legends'' during the August 22 edition of ''[=AsaMio=]''. Unlike Subaru's example above, this was done with water.
474* ''On the Moon'' #20: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSxgZ3fwbZs "*PFFFFFTT* FIVE MILLION POUNDS!??!!"]]
475* ''WebAnimation/SuperheroIntern'': Tyler spits out his coffee due to that it was filtered through Preston's underpants.

478[[folder:Webcomics]]
479* Emily of ''Webcomic/AllOverTheHouse'' is [[http://www.alloverthehouse.net/2011/05/18/nigerian-general/ not adverse to the spit-take]], especially when given shocking and unexpected news by her live-in fool.
480* In ''Webcomic/CassiopeiaQuinn'', Madison [[http://www.cassiopeiaquinn.com/comic/a-periodical-purchase does a spit take, and it is remarked on as a habit of hers]] — a habit she apparently [[http://www.cassiopeiaquinn.com/comic/past-the-edge-page-15 inherited from her father]].

482* ''Webcomic/DailyJoJo'': At the end of the "Executioner" arc, Woong calls in Josh and mentions that someone else is getting the promotion that Josh was hoping for. Josh spits out the cherry juice he had been drinking, causing it to spill from his mouth to his shirt like SymbolicBlood.

484* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', when Joe tells Danny that Amber is going to be his (Joe's) stepsister, Danny spittakes and then says "That doesn't make any sense!" He's not referring to Joe's revelation, though, but to the fact he drank the soda hours ago.
485* Aerynn from ''Webcomic/ElectricWonderland'' [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/electricwonderland/index.php?issue=17&page=6 does this]] after Trawn tells her to supervise everyone in her absence. Shroomy gets wet, and disgustedly exclaims that Aerynn wasn't drinking anything.
486* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
487** Mr. Raven [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2011-11-28 does one]]. Raven is TheStoic. (Warning: '''Major spoilers ahoy'''.)
488** Cartoonist Dan Shive pointed out [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=913 one instance]] in which he ''averted'' a spit take, simply because he found it gross and would have to do something about the mess afterward. (He's not one to make things disappear without an in-comic justification.)

495** A random background jäger [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131014 lets fly right back into his flagon]] when he sights [[spoiler:General]] Dimo chatting with a newly arrived Agatha [[spoiler:after she disappeared for two and a half years]].
496** When Hoffmann tells his brother Aldin he's realized Aldin's secret... and is completely and hilariously wrong, Aldin spit-takes [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160801 through the bottom of the glass]].

507* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'' 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.
508* ''Webcomic/LeagueOfSuperRedundantHeroes'': After Good Girl uses her HolyHalo on a supervillain, her mean personality takes over. [[http://superredundant.com/?p=246 When the halo suddenly comes back,]] she finds herself drinking alcohol and spits it all over Lazer Pony's face.

516* In one strip of ''Webcomic/OneOverZero'' -- 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.]]

518* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Belkar spit-takes [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0317.html after tasting some particularly bad coffee]].

599** Often lampshaded whenever it happens. An example from the episode "Physical vs. Digital Games":
