Beavis: "Remember that time we jumped on that dead horse and all that stuff came out of its butt? What if Godzilla were dead? Imagine all that stuff that would come out of his butt."
Just as Nightmare Fuel breed nightmares and Fetish Fuel makes you question (or revel in) your sexuality, Nausea Fuel fills the viewer with the urge to vomit and reach for the brain bleach.
Paradoxically (or maybe not), Glurge can also find itself in this category.
Related to Squick, Shock Site and Gross Out Show. Eye Scream and Gross Up Close Up are subtropes of this.

Anime and Manga
- Several of Narutaru's most horrific scenes fall under this. The most infamous examples include the test tube incident, the victim of said attack getting her bloody revenge on the main perpetrator by siccing her own torture methods onto her by means of her newly-acquired Shadow Dragon, and the utterly brutal rape and murder of Norio in the manga.
- Bokurano, which is from the same author, is fairly tame in comparison. That said, emphasis goes to in comparison, and there's no doubt that watching a guy getting :half his hand sliced off is pretty wince-worthy - not to mention Chizu slitting Kako's throat in the manga.
- Naruto: Orichimaru's fight with four-tailed Naruto where he sheds his body like a snake skin, and makes a copy of himself, by gagging one out of his mouth. Thank GOD, he came out of his mouth...rather than...his butt.
- Then how about Kimimaro's Kekkai Genkai? Even more so in the manga, because his fingers split in half so he can fling the bones like bullets, among other things. Some of the more morbid fan colours include pieces of flesh still on the bones.
- Seeing someone pull their spine out of their back and then proceed to use it as a sword should certainly be mentioned as well.
- Also, Shino and the other members of his clan are human insect hives. Made worse when the Fridge Horror hits you that, with the expendable manner the insects are in use and their short lifespan, they have to be continuously mating inside his body (this is actually made explicit in the anime and he even has a technique where makes them mate faster).
- Peacemaker Kurogane has Suzu carrying around his masters head in the last episode which eventually decays into a skull. As well as a good number of the battles towards the end.
- Berserk: Pretty much a Nausea Gas Station. The horrors of the Eclipse from Volume 13? Just the tip of the iceberg.
- In the Gonzo anime version of Hellsing, there's Luke Valentine's demise, by way of being eaten alive. While the worst of it is never shown, it's the sound effects that made you feel ill.
- It is worse, so much worse in the OVA. You see him literally get devoured by Alucard's demon hound familiar with body parts and limbs flying everywhere (which are then eaten upon by Alucard) and GALLONS of blood decorating the walls. It straddles the line between Nightmare Fuel and Nausea Fuel.
- You want Nausea Fuel? Try Rip Van Winkle's death scene
 . I gagged several times making myself watch it, to be honest.
- It didn't help that in the manga, it's drawn pretty much exactly like a hentai dojin, down to the ridiculously intense blush on Rip's cheeks when Alucard drinks her blood. And her constant wriggling and gasping under his hands as he slowly inserts the... Musket...What was I talking about?
- Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. Shmion. The fingernail machine. That is all.
- Also Shmion, Keiichi's hand and a bunch of nails (the metal kind, this time)...
- Rena constantly scratching at herself and maggots oozing out of her cuts.
- All the squishing sounds that are made when someone gets stabbed and the like.
- The crucifixion of Satoko scene.
- Keiichi clawing out his own throat...
- The battle between Rika and Shion.
- As well as the fight between Rina and Rena.
- Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Second arc. First tea party. Leaves a person not knowing whether to laugh, cry, or hurl. Maybe all three at once.
- Perfect Blue: Oh Boooy...Let's see, there's...
- Mima's rape scene.
- The scenes where Mima is being photographed naked.
- The corpses that have their eyes gouged out.
- The photographer being stabbed in his eye and his crotch and then repeatedly stabbed over and over by the supposed "pizza deliverer".
- Me-Mania's physical appearance and his attempted rape of Mima.
- The final battle between Rumi and Mima.
- Several bits in Neon Genesis Evangelion like the Mind Rape that Asuka is put through courtesy of an Angel, Kaworu's death, the parts where Eva Unit One kicks the ass of the Angels and then tears into one and eats it.
- New Getter Robo has an astounding number of shots of fat pilot Benkei's hairy/warty ass and testicles, for a 13 episode series.
- Elfen Lied: The first few minutes of the first episode for one. As well as Lucy's various other murders throughout the series. To say nothing of what happens to Mayu. As well as Bandou's fights. The man gets an arm cut off, another one broken, and his eyes forced THROUGH HIS EYE SOCKETS INTO HIS SKULL by Lucy.
- Then there's the cruel kids from Lucy's childhood in the scene where they kick her dog against a wall and beat it with a vase causing it to cry and whimper before it dies as the rest of them force Lucy to look on horrified while they laugh at her. And then she snaps.
- School Days: The ending of the anime. Sekai stabbing Makoto causing Makoto to make gurgling noises, his eyes to bulge out of his head, and ends with him laying in his blood. Later, Kotonoha is revealed to have cut off Makoto's head and carries it around with her in a duffle bag. Then she stabs Sekai, which releases a torrent of blood, and cuts into her stomach so she can look for the baby inside. Finding none, she stands up, covered in Sekai's blood and we are treated to a inside looking out shot of Sekai's stomach. The final scene features Kotonoha lying on her families boat, and holding Makoto's head close to herself with an expression of absolute bliss on her face. It's much ''much'' worse on DVD where the blood is red and everything.
- The Hentai anime Night Shift Nurses used eggs in a way that prevented one reviewer from ever eating them again, despite that scene being one of the tamest in the series.
- In Night Shift Nurses: Experiment, Sora putting a live eel inside Yuu Yagami. In the original Japanese dub, she's clearly screaming in pain (and complaining that her insides are going to be torn apart) during the scene.
- Night Shift Nurses: Kranke - Let's just leave it at these 2 words: honey, yogurt.
- The Fingore in Monster.
- Seriously, no mention of Mai Chans Daily Life? We're talking Nausea OPEC here.
- Waita Uziga's stuff in general is chock full of this kind of thing.
- And it's AWWWRIGHT!
- Cool Devices. THE WHOLE FUCKING SERIES.
- The Holes. A now infamous hentai doujin known to completely disgust even those with the most deviant interests.
- This troper really wasn't disgusted by it purely because he knew what the artist had done before - this information may make you even more worried, but The Holes is Played For Laughs.
- The scene in the first episode of Haibane Renmei where Rakka's wings develop to full size in a matter of seconds. Includes all the blood and gory stuff you'd expect when two new appendages suddenly grow out of someone's back.
- Hiromu Arakawa doesn't shy away from Nausea Fuel based on human remains. Her master piece Fullmetal Alchemist has quite some notorious examples, including the thing that the Elric brothers created attemtping to ressurect their mother. Her earlier work Stray Dog has some minor examples retricted to a few pages, but those present are profundly disturbing; that is, unless human remains and vivisection related imagery is your thing; in that case you're at home my friend.
- Franken Fran is entirely built on this...when not using High Octane Nightmare Fuel, that is
Comic Books
- Some of the MAD Magazine comics had this effect on me... I particularly remember one about a super-pimple, and one about a gross-out luncheon at a fancy restaurant. Ugh, I'm gagging just remembering them...
- Is it the one where the waiter cuts up his own head and serves it?
- If they were from older MAD magazines or compilations, you probably have Basil Wolverton to thank.
- The zit one is courtesy of artist Tom Bunk and writer Michael Gallagher, whose work together is often high-octane nausea fuel. (Strangely, Gallagher is rather tame when working with other artists... or when working for Archie's Sonic The Hedgehog comics.)
- The Zit was also republished as a poster. Imagine that image, blown up to several times its original size.
Film
- The Alien series. The chestbursters, of course. Also, for some, the white, milky stuff the androids spew everywhere when they're damaged.
- The American Pie series has some, particularly with Stifler. Beer with semen in the first. Being peed on in the second. And the worst case ever, involving the results of a dog eating a wedding ring in the third.
- Catherine Breillat's Anatomy Of Hell contains an uncensored shot of a prepubescent girl's privates, a hoe being jammed into a vagina, and a used tampon being dipped in a glass of water like a teabag and the said water then being drunk.
- Anthropophagus. The killer ripping the pregnant woman's fetus out. It was so realistic that in Britain it was thought that the scene was genuine and it consequently got itself banned. (Of course it was not genuine; the fetus was a rabbit carcass.)
- In a flashback/dream sequence in Audition, one of Asami's previous boyfriends is shown. He is missing both feet at the ankles, both hands, his eyes, and his tongue. Asami vomits into a bowl and offers it to him, and he drinks it hungrily.
- In a flashback in Bloodbath At The House Of Death, Dr Lukas Mandeville's monocle falls into an incision in the patient on whom he is operating. He gropes around in the incision in an attempt to retrieve his monocle, but he only succeeds in pulling out handfuls of flesh and organs.
- The obscure, low-budget Australian comedy-horror film Body Melt (said to be Tarantino's favorite Australian film). A man drinks a bottle of detergent and tentacles grow out of holes in his neck and extend up his nose, the face around a man's mouth splits open and he grows ears in the palms of his hands, a pregnant woman's chest swells up and explodes and her placenta shoots out of her vagina and attacks her husband, a man's penis grows and explodes, a man literally drowns in his own snot and mucus whilst coughing and sneezing, a child cracks their face open whilst skateboarding, a woman's head shrinks and dissolves into mucus, and a woman's tongue grows until she can't breath and chokes.
- The nude fight scene in Borat.
- Cabin Fever. The girl attempting to shave her legs in the bath only to literally shave her skin off.
- There's also copious footage throughout the film of the diseased carcasses of animals and of a giant stagnant pool of sewage.
- City of the Living Dead, by Lucio Fulci. A woman vomits up her own intestines whilst weeping blood. Oh, and in order for the effect to be achieved, the actress had to genuinely swallow several yards of sheep intestines.
- The "jittercam" used in the movie Cloverfield inspired a species of nausea in some viewers.
- The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover has a lot of stomach-turning moments, but two really stand out:
- In the very first scene, Michael Gambon's character is punishing the cook. He strips him naked, issues a savage beating, and then as a final degradation forces him to roll around in dog feces.
- At the end, Helen Mirren serves her lover's dead body to her husband as a meal, after the husband had ordered his brutal death. At gunpoint, forces him to eat it. While her husband is gagging down the meal, she shoots him.
- The Joker is supposed to be scary. Watching him explore the reverse side of his scars, with some relish - with his tongue - is sickening.
- From the same movie, Harvey Dent. More specifically, his gloriously skeletal half-mug.
- The Joker's pencil trick. The prisoner who has a BOMB STITCHED INSIDE HIS CHEST courtesy of the Joker and then promptly blows up.
- Anything by David Cronenberg has a high chance of containing this. Particular examples are Videodrome and The Fly.
- And Crash. If the fact that it's about a secret society of people with a sexual fetish for car crashes whom deliberately crash cars and have sex in the wrecks wasn't enough, it also contains a scene where a man has sex with a woman via a wound in her leg that resembles a vagina.
- Don't forget The Brood. A woman chews through an amniotic sack growing directly out of her chest, takes the fetus out and licks it clean.
- The Day The Earth Stood Still (2008): The birth of the alien at the beginning of the movie. Complete with close up of gooey chunks that encased it's body being torn away.
- The metal locusts.
- How are they in any way disgusting?
- Dirty Sanchez: The Movie contains a scene where one of the group gets liposuction and another drinks the extracted fat. At least, according to the parental advisory of the movie on IMDB; I ain't about to watch the thing myself.
- Skip the popcorn at District 9. Between the vomiting black, the fingernails falling off, and some of the scenes in the Bio Lab, it's a long, bumpy, nauseating ride through the Transformation Trauma.
- In Downfall, Magda Goebbels kills her own children, one by one, with cyanide pills. Nevermind the Child Soldier Red Shirts Dying Like Animals outside, hearing the children's last breaths made me physically nauseous.
- One of the way too many things that put Epic Movie on the So Bad Its Horrible list is an extensive, nauseating vomiting scene; even with the obvious Special Effects Failure it's still disgusting.
- Whilst we're on the topic, I have three words for you: Guest House Paradiso. Enough fake comedy vomit to strip a battleship.
- It's not just me who found it a nauseating and unfunny scene, then? Good.
- Eraserhead. The chicken. And the baby; specifically when he cuts it open. Uggggg... I don't want to think about what the birth of that thing was like.
- Event Horizon. You know the scene I mean—the infamous video log left by the last crew because hyperspace was indeed a scary place and made them do very, very icky things to one another, including one crew member trying to reach down his own throat and pull out some thankfully-unrecognizable organ. Not much genuinely squicks this troper, but that did it and then some. What makes it even more High Octane Nightmare Fuel is that apparently they had to cut a lot out of that scene to keep the film from being rated NC-17.
- Evolution. An alien dragonfly burrows under a man's skin (à la The Mummy) and is removed via having a set of forceps stuck up his anus. Later, that same man gets sucked up into the anus of a giant amoeba.
- Freddy Got Fingered. Tom Green masturbates a horse, masturbates an elephant, skins a deer he ran down with his car and dances around wearing its bloody carcass, licks the open wound of his character's best friend, and sticks his hand up a pregnant woman's vagina to rip the baby out and then swings the baby around his head like a lasso by its umbilical cord.
- Ghost Ship. Two men eat some seemingly innocuous tins of beans and rice gotten from the kitchen of an adrift, derelict, haunted ocean liner. I can't remember exactly what happens next (a hallucination sequence or something); but then they realize that they're actually wolfing down... maggots.
- I survived both Red Dragon and Silence Of The Lambs unscathed, but between the razorbacks and the brain scene, Hannibal had me squirming.
- Buffalo Bill's bathtub had me squirming, along with the broken fingernails in the wall.
- The early-80s horror movie Happy Birthday To Me has an extended brain surgery sequence. The filmmakers wanted to ensure it was realistic, so they hired an actual brain surgeon to play the brain surgeon.
- Pretty much the entirety of the House Of Wax remake. Indeed, the only really enjoyable part of the film was watching Paris Hilton, or rather, the character she played, die. Admittedly, though, it's enjoyable for entirely the wrong reason.
- How The Grinch Stole Christmas: The close-up shot of The Grinch's termite infested teeth.
- Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom; the banquet and the heart removal.
- The autopsy scene from "JFK". It didn't help that bits of actual autopsy photography and footage was used as well. Sorry, but the sight of someone digging their finger into the bullet hole in the back of the limp, dead, cold, damp body of the president(with a revolting squeaking noise at that, because the finger in question fits so damn tightly into the bullet hole it's currently twisting around in) is not a sight for the weak of stomach or for the sensitive of spirit. Oh, and do you like seeing blown-up brains hanging like frayed electrical wiring out of the tattered skull of someone very famous? You're in luck, because these ain't fake brains baby.
- Jane Austen's Mafia! includes a long, drawn out vomiting sequence (even a horse pukes). It's difficult to keep your lunch down watching it.
- Ju-On 2. Kyoko gives birth to a full grown Kayako.
- Matilda both the film and the book has the Trunchbull and pretty much all the scenes involving chocolate.
- "Her sweat and blood went into this cake!"
- Monty Python's Meaning of Life where Mr. Creosote gorges on food until he explodes.
- Men Behind the Sun. It's about atrocities in the form of grotesque human experiments conducted by Imperial Japan's Unit 731 during World War II to try and make biological weapons. It contains a woman's arms being frozen and then the flesh being ripped off them exposing the bones whilst she is still alive and screaming, genuine footage of the autopsy of a child, a cat being thrown into a room of rats to be devoured (which may or may not be unsimulated), and; and this one's the kicker; a man being put in a pressure chamber and the pressure then being raised until his INTESTINES SQUIRT OUT OF HIS ANUS. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!...
- Any scene involving scarabs in The Mummy Trilogy. Especially the one where a scarab crawls out of Imhotep's neck and into his mouth and he eats it.
- What about that one scene in the second movie where past-Imhotep and Anak-sunamon are kissing, then the scene shifts to the present-day (in the film), and she's kissing a decaying corpse. Gaaaah...
- Oldboy : Oh Dae-su eats an octopus alive. Its tentacles continue to twitch and slither after he bit the head. It's a real octopus, by the way.
- I am told that in Korea this is not unusual. In and of itself squicky enough to also count.
- Truth In Television : Saw it on a 'weird food' show. Korean family sitting around a bowl as the small octopi try to escape... pick one up, jam a couple of chopsticks through the mouth into the head and wrap the tentacles around then munch. Mm.
- With all the torture and Gorn going on in that movie, that made you sick?
- Peter Jackson's early films like Bad Taste which includes a main character trying to keep his own brain in his busted open head and Brain Dead which has The Virus-infected boils exploding into food and a man getting his face slowly pulled off... to name a few. I heard Meet The Feebles is pretty nauseating but I've never seen enough to go into further detail. (Wiki Magic please?)
- Two words: Pink Flamingos.
- How about this part from Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest? Will Turner cuts one of the mutant pirates' stomachs open, looking for an easy win. Instead of blood, we see a deluge of mud, slime, and what looks like a pair of obese hagfish. Will wasn't the only one that was grossed out.
- At World's End ups the ante by showing one of Jack's hallucinated copies casually rip out his own brain and lick it lovingly. Beat that!
- Or the part in At World's End where Davy Jones uses his tentacles to kill Mercer?
- The majority of Poltergeist. Maggotty meat. Dude ripping his own face off. Ew!
- Requiem For A Dream: Harry shooting heroin directly into the infected area of his arm.
- Depending on how strong your stomach is, the injuries that characters sustain in Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky make it either Nausea Fuel or So Bad Its Good.
- Salo Or The 120 Days Of Sodom, an infamous cinematic adaptation of a story by the Marquis De Sade, is possibly the most potent example of this trope ever. And as utterly horrific and disgusting as the movie is, it doesn't even hold a candle to the original story.
- Many of the traps from the Saw series. To many, the series itself.
- People who didn't at least come close to vomiting after watching the scene where decomposing pig corpses were fed into the grinder and the resulting goo was used to drown a victim have either got a titanium stomach, or they're in a coma.
- This troper mostly found it funny and ridiculous.
- The brain operation from the same movie, however..
- Scary Movie 2. Serving the turkey. Period.
- Shaun of the Dead when Dave is dragged though the window of the Winchester, and his stomach is ripped open, while the zombies outside tear out his insides.. did I mention that his FRIENDS ARE WATCHING.. and he is STILL ALIVE AND SCREAMING as his stomach is being ripped open? There are no words to describe how gruesome that scene is. Seriously.
- Brick Top's speech about how he disposes of his victim's corpses using pigs is pretty gruesome in Snatch.
- Society. The "shunting". If you know of this movie, you know what I'm talking about. If not, watch it. It has to be seen to be believed.
- Pizza the Hutt from Spaceballs. Also all the other Hutts, to some extent.
- The sound effect used in Stir Of Echoes for a fingernail snapping off that is stomach-turning. Apparently the visceral reaction the sound inspired in the audiences took the filmmakers by surprise.
- Explicit footage of gastric bypass surgery in the documentary Super Size Me. To the tune of the Blue Danube Waltz.
- Early in Super Size Me when Morgan Sperlock ate his first really huge super-sized McMeal and then McPuked.
- Only real complaint about Team America World Police: it really could have used that Vomit Discretion Shot.
- Tetsuo The Iron Man. All of it. By extension, Tokyo Gore Police and Meatball Machine. But, Tetsuo. Holy hell.
- The scene where the curly-haired kid projectile-vomits blood in Trick 'R Treat. The concept is bad enough, but that kid just keeps puking.
- Tropic Thunder, the scene where Ben Stiller's character tries to prove that the director's death was fake... by tasting the bloody tatters still attached to his head. Even his co-stars are revolted.
- Vase De Noces. It's informally known as The Pig Fucking Movie, but an even more appropriate title would be The Pig Fucking, Chicken Decapitating, Piglet Hanging, Shit Eating, Piss Drinking Movie.
- The vampire dinner scene in Waxwork has vampires loudly slurping up bloody chunks of meat. And another scene where China finds her "fiancée" on a slab, still alive, with the meat cut off of his leg, leaving just muscle and bone. It doesn't help that a vampire falls on it later on, causing it make a disgusting breaking noise.
- Xtro. After being raped in the mouth by an alien, a woman gives birth to a fully grown man, dying in the process.
Literature
- Ron's unfortunate "splinching" in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where a chunk of his arm is missing.
- The description in Making Money of Cosmo Lavish's gangrenous, rotting finger (thanks to wearing a much-too-small signet ring described as cutting off his circulation entirely, because he desperately wants to imitate Vetinari) complete with the descriptions of the rotting stench of his hand stewing in its glove and his erratic behaviour as it appears to poison him... It's done in true Pratchett style, but still... retch.
- Speaking of Pratchett, in Wyrd Sisters, when Duke Felmet keeps trying to wash the blood off his hands, eventually grating them until they're nearly completely gone and have to be continually bandaged.
- In Breaking Dawn, the part where Bella's vampire Death Baby is being born: it breaks her spine and ribs, and then Edward performs a Vampiric C-Section with his teeth, and even chows down on the afterbirth.
- Guts by Chuck Palahniuk. All of it, really, but most egregiously the narrator's colon getting sucked into a pool suction pump, and having to chew his way through to release himself. Very pleasant to read just before dinner.
- Also in Haunted (where this editor first read Guts), the sequence in which one character is believed to be dead, so the others cut off pieces of her flesh to cook. She isn't dead after all, and winds up eating some of her own flesh before she does die.
- Something similar to Guts actually happened.
- The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien falls into this through brutal honesty, going so far as to tell the reader that if you would censor the word "shit," you would censor the truth. That doesn't mean the death of Kiowa is any less disgusting — he literally drowns in excrement.
- K.A. Applegate's Remnants series was full of this. From the first book with the horrible fungus-filled cryopods of character's family members, to the live flesh-eating worms, to the guy with all his skin painstaking burned off and replaced with a clear coating...
- After reading Iain M. Banks' Use Of Weapons, you'll never look at a chair the same way again.
- Crossing into Real Life, The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases [and parasites ] That You Probably Already Have. Yes, the infamous candiru (see Real Life) are there, as is the Plague ("there's no way the Plague can become airborn through a person's coughs and sneezes. So there's nothing to — what's that? Oh.") and Dracunculiasis, when a giant worm settles into your body and creates a sore that it "push[es its] head out to ejaculate a milky white substance containing millions of baby dracunculus worms". You may never touch anything again!
- David Wingrove's Chung Kuo series, combining racism, xenophobia, Dystopia, and Squick in one nauseating series. Because gouging out your enemy's eyeballs, filling the sockets with maggots, and then sewing the eyelids shut is just another day in a China-dominated future.
- The Dresden Files: Turn Coat has the scene where Harry is describing sensing Shagnasty with his Sight activated. This Troper was eating the first time she read this particular scene.
- "Try to imagine the stench of rotten meat. Imagine the languid, arrhythmic pulsing of a corpse filled with maggots. Imagine the scent of stale body odor mixed with mildew, the sound of nails screeching across a chalkboard, the taste of rotten milk, and the flavor of spoiled fruit."
- From a Buick 8 by Stephen King has a good bit of nausea fuel, particularly the dissection scene.
- Try reading any of Graham Masterton's novels. 'The Walkers' and 'Ritual' are particularly nauseating in many parts... and this troper read them when he was 11.
- American Gods has Laura, the main character Shadow's undead wife who slowly rots over the course of the story. It starts with Shadow french kissing her dry formaliny mouth and ends up with her coughing up gobs of maggots. Complete with description of how that feels to her. Thanks for that Neil!
Live Action TV
- A particular scene in Greys Anatomy in which a vein on a patient's neck pulses for a few seconds before EXPLODING literally cutting his neck open and squirting out torrents of blood.
- In Survivor: Micronesia, Jonathan Penner suffered a puncture wound to his knee. It wasn't recovering, and they actually showed footage of his knee squirting fluid as the medics drained it in an attempt to clean the wound. Almost everyone was looking at the screen saying "EWEWEWEWEWEWEW!!!" not only imagining how much that probably HURT, but also with such nice detail. (Thank goodness it wasn't filmed in HD.)
- Fringe. Not only is it often Body Horror-tastic in it's dramatic scenes, but even the comedic scenes have potentially nauseating elements. These normally involve resident Mad Scientist Walter Bishop cracking open someone's head while pondering what he had for breakfast or hiding a human ear in an omelette as part of some experiment (something to do with it being rich in protein), and Peter naturally finding out in the worst possible way.
- Jackass. Ick.
- "Don Vito", Bam Margera's disgusting and perverted uncle.
- Quite frequently, Dirty Jobs strays into this territory. Make sure a barf bucket is handy before watching the Skull Cleaner episode.
- What about the parchment episode?
- The absolute worst for me was the episode where they neutered goats, and yes, you get to see it all on camera. To make it worst, for some reason after the "cut" mike has to bite out the remaining bloody meat out of...
- Doctor Who. "The Stolen Earth". Davros' Shirtless Scene. No Just No.
- Bones. Body. Bathtub. Corrosive chemicals. Cripes.
- In a recent (as of this writing) Scrubs episode, an intern's Imagine Spot of an angry Turk during a surgery involves him plucking various organs in fury while screaming. Not as frightening as it sounds, slightly amusing (as was intended) and gross as hell.
- The music video for the song "Sick, Sick, Sick" by Queens Of The Stone Age involves a beautiful upper-class woman eating a huge banquet of greasy sweaty meat. Somehow that combination is a perfect recipe for Nausea Fuel.
- I think it's the fact that that greasy sweaty meat used to be Queens of the Stone Age.
- House. Just... House. Some of the patients' symptoms are just too much to take. The "viewer discretion advised" warning is there for a reason. The worst one might have been when a patient's eye swelled and then exploded. Luckily it turned out that the whole episode was all a very elaborate hallucination by House himself.
- I thought it was the patient's genitals that swelled and blew up after he tried to use the bathroom.
- Two of The Daily Show's favorite props are the jar of Baconnaise and the Jimmy Dean breakfast product consisting of a sausage-on-a-stick wrapped in a chocolate-chip pancake. Both of which really exist. (John Oliver also refers to them in his stand-up, citing them as weapons in our arsenal in the War on Terror, along with an inflatable barbecue for use in swimming pools. According to him, they are the equivalent of telling the terrorists, "There is nothing you can do to us that we are not already doing to ourselves.") There was also the episode where Steve Carell ate Crisco out of a can.
- Fridays (an early 1980s sketch comedy show that aired on ABC as a competitor to Saturday Night Live) had a very Nausea Fuelled (and possibly Nightmare Fuelled) sketch where a married couple (played by John Roarke and Maryedith Burrell) on a road trip stop by a diner filled with zombies eating dismembered body parts. The sketch was said to be so disgusting that six ABC affiliates stopped airing Fridays after only three episodes (the "Diner of the Living Dead" sketch aired on the third episode in April of 1980). The other affiliates continued to air Fridays until its cancellation in 1982, but when the episode that had that sketch re-aired, the sketch was cut. Here's the video.
- Speaking of Nausea Fuel on sketch comedy shows, Saturday Night Live did have this recent example. On the season 34 episode hosted by Tim Mc Graw (with musical guests Ludacris and T-Pain), there's a sketch where a mental patient in a jogging suit named Jeff Montgomery (played by Will Forte) finds himself at the dinner table of this family's house. He tries to convince the patriarch (played by host Tim Mc Graw) to stay by going into this speech about "Thanksgiving spirit" and this game he devised called "trick or turkey," then asks the family if he can crash in their doghouse for a few months. The mom/wife (played by Kristen Wiig) asks, "Where's our dog supposed to live?" The answer: Jeff's stomach, same place as he's been living for the past eight hours.
- Merlin. Beauty and the Beast. Lady Catrina eating. Just... Lady Catrina eating.
- ...Annnnd then Uther has sex with her. While she is a troll. Brain bleach, anyone?
- On the reality show Fear Factor, the second stunt of a given episode occasionally involved the contestants having to eat something really nasty.
- Supernatural has plenty of Nausea Fuel to go along with its High Octane Nightmare Fuel. Some notable examples:
- The maggot-infested dinner in season three's "Malleus Maleficarum" ("It's downright unsanitary!"), which leads to a guy eating a cheeseburger that he discovers is filled with maggots... after he took a bite.
- In season four's "Metamorphosis," a man, who is turning into a flesh-eating monster called a "Rougarou", goes into his refrigerator and starts eating everything he can get his hands on. He ends up shoveling raw meat into his mouth as fast as he can.
- Hoarders. In one episode a 21-year-old's room's stench was so powerful the series' psychiatrist couldn't stand it while in another segment a Crazy Cat Lady had to have ~80 animals removed from her run-down house. Only half of those were alive and of the ones that were, 10 were dying of a respiratory disease and had to be put down. The guys cleaning out her house were only thankful that A) she didn't care about her actual possessions, only the animals and B) had some (presumably) very powerful anti-anxiety medication. (shudders) So many tiny kitten skeletons...
- The season 7 episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer with the skin-eating demon. The initial skinned corpse isn't that terrifying, but watching it strip Willow's skin off and eat it... EW EW EW. And then Buffy gouges the demon's eyes out with her thumbs. It was just a gross episode overall.
- From Tim And Eric Awesome Show Great Job, there are "Candy Tails", which are locks of horse hair that are coated in a syrup of your choice, covered with sprinkles, and sucked on. Sucking on hair is bad enough, but sucking on hair covered with syrup and sprinkles? Ugh.
- A subtle version happens on Food Network on a regular basis, especially on shows about where food comes from: shots of some animal (in the case of This Troper's nausea, it was buffalo) grazing in a field, being adorable and fuzzy, interspersed with shots of said animal's meat being processed.
- The way the 456 in Torchwood: Children of Earth communicate. Extra points for being in-show Nausea Fuel as well.
Music
- Tori Amos' "Raspberry Swirl" seems to be just a fun electronic dance song at first, until you attempt to decipher the lyrics and discover that the song might be about having sex with a woman on her period. The "raspberry swirl" is actually a mixture of menstrual blood and semen.
Other
Professional Wrestling
- Tommy Dreamer's early run in the WWE involved him doing disgusting acts such as eating discarded hair, sharing a toothbrush with a dog, and drinking the Undertaker's tobacco spit.
- The Bastion Booger was an obese, ugly slob of a wrestler who wore a dingy singlet and not only smelled like a pig, but ate like one too.
Real Life
- This documentary clip about the life of a caterpillar.
- Darwins Nightmare, a documentary about starvation and economic exploitation in Africa. You know how Watership Down is about bunnies? Well, Darwin's Nightmare is about fish. Any scene involving the carcasses and giant heads (shudder)...
- The visuals in many health class videos, especially the ones about venereal diseases and car accidents.
- And overly made up women giving birth. That bright blue mascara streaming down her face combined with the actual giving birth; that's one way to keep the teenage birthrate down.
- Human Botfly can make a regular fly deadly by laying eggs on the fly. Then, if the fly gets the eggs on a human, the baby botflies will then burrow into the human and eat him/her from the inside.
- To make the horror even clearer, remember that baby botflies, like other kinds of baby flies are maggots. Fortunately, they're not actually deadly. Usually.
- I wonder if there are maggots in my skin...
- This Link (warning: DEFINITELY NSFW) shows the confirmed story (with pictures) of an Air Force Mobile Opthalmic Surgical Team stationed in Honduras removing a human botfly larva from some poor kid's eye.
- At Gallipoli, one Australian soldier drowned in the latrines. The months-old latrines of tens of thousands of soldiers, many of whom were furiously dysenteric. Ugh.
- The candiru, a tiny parasitic fish that burrows into the gills of a larger fish and drinks their blood. Its body has backward-pointing spines so that it's difficult to dislodge. It finds a target's gills by following their faint smell of ammonia, which sometimes causes them to mistakenly swim into a human's urethra if they should urinate while wading or swimming in a river. The urethra is too narrow for it to turn around or back up, and the fish gets stuck and dies. Its corpse can only be removed surgically.
- Any parasite in general. Hookworms bite into your intestines. Fleas dig and chew into your skin. And, to top it all off, they're incredibly disgusting-looking. Ever seen a tapeworm? Bleckh.
- Dead bodies. The ones that have been dead for a while. Especially "floaters" and... well, anything you can find at the Body Farm. You'll never look at blue cheese and pizza the same way again. And as a CSI; people do some strange things to themselves.
- Colds. Coughing up lumps of phlegm, only to be given the choice of spitting them out or swallowing them? Icky. Coughing so hard you don't even get a choice about it? Icky and painful.
- This troper never had that kind of cold and didn't understand why people got so crazy about "staying home with a cold..." Then she got bronchitis.
- S..s...su...Surinam.....toads. *shudders*
- Linky!
- Surinam Toads are not that bad. The eggs are placed on the toad's back, where a callus of skin covers them, and the babies break it. It's certainly not parasitism, it probably doesn't even hurt the toad.
- You want to know the ultimate Nausea Fuel cosplay costume? Imagine someone cosplaying as Etna, only it's a man. Not just any man, a morbidly obese man.
- What's so nauseating about a man dressed as a volcano?
- Speaking of it, how about the original ManFaye? A pasty, hairier-than-an-ape slightly overweight man walking around in Faye's yellow hotpants, with a massive trail of hair almost pointing up at the disgusting butt-wedgie.
- Which just goes to show the thin line between humor and nausea fuel, because Sailor Bubba is hilarious.
- Combining Nausea Fuel and High Octane Nightmare Fuel, you've got the murder case of Katherine Knight, an Australian woman who killed her husband by stabbing him, skinning him and boiling his head in a pot and serving his buttocks as steaks for their children.
- Teratomas, just teratomas. These are a form of tumor with mature tissues inside you in inappropriate places. Common things include hair and bone. They sometimes contain eyeballs, hands, and even feet. And, in at least one case, a beating heart.
- Teratomas: blurring the line between tumours and horribly mutated ectopic foetuses.
- River blindness disease. You go blind because a "simulium damnosum" (a type of mosquito) transferred a parasitic larvae-thingie and said larvae burrow through your freaking eyes, leaving milky scar tissue. Said worms also tend to form cysts/nests anywhere your skin is loose, like on your knees or in your scrotum. Ick.
- Four words: 1 Night in China.
- This may not be enough to let you truly understand the horror. It is "pornography" involving a terrible male wrestler (the Trope Namer for X Pac Heat, incidentally) and a female wrestler, Chyna. Though how female she may be is the nauseating part. No no, she has girl parts. But... see, she's a bodybuilder. And she's almost certainly taken lots of steroids. So she has... um... a very well-developed... clitoris. With a glans. This likely qualifies as anti-porn, as seeing it may make you never want to have sex again.
- Two things. (a) Clitoromegaly is indeed a consequence of women taking anabolic steroids, but it's also a congenital condition, and I'm sure people with it already feel bad enough, thank-you-very-much. (b) Everybody with a clitoris has a glans. It's part of the relevant anatomy.
- The texture and appearance of raw chicken. *shudder*
- You think that's bad? Google "chicken in a can" sometime. The can claims the bird is "Fully Cooked." Not only does it not look remotely like it has ever touched an oven, it is also covered in... you know what, let's just assume it's formaldehyde and leave it at that, because that's probably the least disgusting thing it could be compared to.
- The Onion AV Club did a Taste Test on this, with video of Internet Eating Sensation Dave Chang eating the entire thing, including some of the juice/broth. Some could say a good portion of the Taste Test section is this trope.
- Try watching videos about lab animal abuse without shuddering or crying. Especially ones involving monkeys.
- There's worse. How about videos of animals being skinned alive as part of the fur trade. Apparently this happens in China, and dogs were the victim in the vid this troper saw. No, I'm not linking it. Its that vile.
- Garden slugs (which are all hermaphroditic, by the way) getting it on.
- The Giant Gippsland Earthworm◊.
- Tapeworms. For one thing, they're thirty foot long worms that live and slither around inside you. Fortunately, there's medicines and stuff that kills them. Unfortunately, there's only one way to get the dead worm out.
- Okay, more than one, but you'd be much better off not knowing about them.
- That's gauze being removed from a spider bite. Still qualifies for this page though, especially once they start draining the site.
- How does a starfish feed? It turns its stomach inside out and digests its prey alive.
- Penises. They rise all by themselves
- Vaginas. Not only do they resemble the maw of a monster, they exude acid...But that doesn't deter me from putting it in...
- Nasty slimy wormy things slurping up other nasty slimy wormy things.
- Giant African Land Snails.
- When tubifex worms gather together in sewers.
- Any of the volume-based, forced eating Roadblocks that The Amazing Race was so fond of during seasons five through seven, most notably:
- A season five task in Russia that required the unfortunate racer to eat two pounds of caviar;
- A task that occurred later on in season five, this time in Tanzania, that demanded racers eat a portion of an ostrich egg equivalent to twenty-four chicken eggs;
- A season six task in Hungary that forced racers to consume 24 ounces of what was essentially pure Tabasco sauce;
- The infamous Meatblock of season seven, where one team member had to eat four pounds of a "traditional Argentinian feast" containing cow rib, pork sausage, blood sausage, cow intestine, cow udder, cow kidney and part of a cow's saliva gland.
- Callos (Sorry, there's no English article as of now) It's a real, Spanish speciality, obviously imported in Latin America. It tastes much better than you think. Eat it on bread, it's horribly fat - but then it just melts on the tongue...
- Casu Marzu. In short, it's sheep milk cheese, famous for containing maggots. And it's usually eaten while the maggots are alive.
- Seeing someone else throw up is almost guaranteed to make others at least queasy, if not sick themselves.
- Read up on the experiments done by Unit-731, seen here at TheOtherWiki. Less intense ones include having horse urine injected into human kidneys.
- To this vegan, the infamous Turducken. A dead bird stuffed within a bird stuffed within a bird. You have been warned.
- It's also why this troper will never, ever consider becoming a vegan. Pass the stuffing.
- Rashes can range from just painfully annoying to annoyingly painful, but try looking at a picture of a rash caused by poison ivy without getting sick. (No, not that Poison Ivy)
- Just about everything in The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases (and parasites) You Probably Already Have. Why hello there, Candiru!
- The sequel, The Paranoid's Pocket Guide To Mental Diseases mentions a disease where you feel as if insects are crawling under your skin, which tends to happen with people who have actually experienced insects crawling under their skin in reality. The notes mention "maggot therapy" followed by "screw that".
- At least two sports injuries fulfill this trope (and probably many more besides), neither of which is for the faint of heart, or the recently-fed. First, Sid Vicious' ill-fated jump from the top ropes in a match against Scott Steiner, and Napoleon Mc Callum, a football player who received a career-ending injury when his cleat stuck in the ground and his knee bent at a right angle - to the side. Ironically, it also doubled as a Crosses The Line Twice, as the commentators, as the replay of the injury was shown on Monday Night Football, stated "don't look at it."
- Cymothoa exigua◊. Just Cymothoa exigua.
- For the benefit of those who'd rather not follow the link - its other name is "tongue-eating louse", and that's exactly what it does. It's not technically a louse, though.
- This troper had an infection in his bellybutton. Every couple of hours or so, I would find a milky, white discharge accompanied by a horrid smell and blood caked on the rim of the bellybutton. When I would put peroxide in there, it would foam to the surface like a 5th grade baking soda activated volcano science project. It was gross but pretty cool. But the worst part was the pain I felt on my stomach, which I first dismissed as muscle pain. When the infection left, so did the pain. I joked about it, saying it was Body Horror.
- Balut. Fertilized duck (or chicken) eggs, allowed to mature until the feathers and bones have begun to develop, making the final product a little crunchy, then boiled and eaten.

Web Original
- This Is Why You're Fat contains such healthy delights as the Bacon Doughnut, Deep Fried S'Mores on a Stick, a Sloppy Joe on a Krispy Kreme, and many other creations that will make you never want to eat again.
- User 729. If you don't know who he is, I'll tell you. Back in '06, AOL accidentally released the archived search results of several thousand of its users. They were are anonymous, but a lot searched their own name, address, or social security number. Anyways, User 729 was one of those, and had effectively the creepiest search habits ever. If you want to know what they are, look for it yourself.
- Google isn't providing anything, and you can not leave that kind of leadup and not at least give a link to where you found this. Help, anyone?
- 40 pizza rolls eaten in a few minutes. After watching this, you may never want to even look at another pizza roll ever again.
- Enter Happy Tree Friends. one where the little anteater attempts to use a mind-control device on the ants he intends to eat. The ants reverse its effects so that they control the anteater, and then proceed to force him to brutally torture himself.

Western Animation
- Many of the injuries on The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy, such as when Pud'n gets an eye full of cactus and pulls it off, revealing a hideous, skinless red eye.
- Or Billy's nose popping.
- Or when the closing iris closes on Billy's head and a bunch of blood and snot sprays from his nose and his eye pops out.
- The Futurama episode "The Sting" had a nauseating shock when Zoidberg looks down at Fry's corpse in the coffin, and you see that not only is the base of the stinger that killed him still sticking out of his belly, but the point of the stinger, which is sticking out of his back, is balanced on the lining of the coffin, and Fry's body is lodged in one position half-way down the stinger, so his whole back is arched upwards, (and stiff with rigor mortis) not even close to resting on the lining. The humorously executed shot that reveals this just adds to the shock value. And insult is added to injury when the coffin is closed, and a horrible snapping sound is heard. And just to make it worse, this was not a humorous death at all. Futurama was quite happy to wallow in black humor.
- Too bad (or good, depending on how well you take it) this was removed from the episode when it went into syndication. Either that or some countries' censorship board cut it off. This troper taped that episode off Malaysian TV and it doesn't have that scene, cutting to a commercial break right after Bender laments over Fry's death and resuming to the funeral scene with an already closed coffin.
- The Invader Zim episodes "Rise of the Zitboy" and "Career Day" are this when it's not being hilarious.
- There's also the bit in "Walk of Doom" when he looks straight at the sun and his eyes burn and bubble.
- "Dark Harvest". It's not even the organ theft itself, or the sight of swollen, organ-filled Zim, but the nurse's room receptionist getting her brain replaced with a cola can and spewing out soda fizz every time she tries to speak.
- The Pebble And The Penguin: The sequence for the song "Good Ship Misery" involves penguins dumping disgusting-looking slop all over each other, breaking out into spots, and simultaneously vomiting over each other. EW.
- Spongebob episode The Splinter: Spongebob gets a splinter at work. Rather than making the best of this sure-to-be-disgusting plot and having him try to get it out in a silly fashion, we're treated to 11 minutes of it getting infected, swelling, and oozing pus all over the place until Krabs walks up and pulls it out, thus ending the episode. Honorable mentions include Plankton's Regular, in which Sponge Bob and Plankton both are peeled, quite disgustingly, and House Fancy, in which Squid loses a toenail in the grossest way he can.
- Oh yes, the infamous "Toenail Removal Scene" from House Fancy. Squidward gets the leg of a couch on his toe, and it's ripped off by Spongebob pulling the couch away too soon. It had blood and veins still attached, even. To make it all worse, Squidward slips on the bloody nail.
- The one where Spongebob falls in love with a Krabby Patty, keeps it around until it's moldy, fungus-covered and maggoty, then eats it. It had maggots, worms, blue and black mold, highly detailed rotten meat, and an assortment of other disgusting things that you could imagine painted with incredibly uneeded detail.
- A similar plot had Krabs not wanting to dump a moldy patty so he can make money off of it. Apparently hospital visits cost less than a patty.
- The episode where Spongebob adopts a worm and it has babies, which he then tries to get other people to adopt. Normally worms are fine in the series, but for this episode? They purposely made them incredibly disgusting. It was horrible.
- That episode wasn't horrible. It was the most nauseating piece of useless eleven minutes that was ever designed to make you puke up corrosive barf in your mouth.
- A more recent episode featured Patrick tearing the entire front half of his skin off, revealing his bones and organs underneath, after a misunderstanding; SpongeBob looks suitably grossed out. It's kind of tame compared to most of the examples in this list (and definitely tame compared to "The Splinter"), but it could still cause instant gag reflexes in some.
- What about the one where Spongebob and Squidward were accidentely fused togther? Most of it wasn't so bad, but at the very end, :when they were finally separated and Squidward wanted to be fused together again for personal gains, he accidently caused not just Spongebob but several other characters to be fused together as one huge fleshy blob!Uggghhh.... and this is a kid's show for crying out loud!
- Let's not forget the fusing of Spongebob and Squidward that went on for about three minutes beforehand.
- Where is the donut episode on this list? Patrick gets a donut he believes is Spongebob's but keeps wondering if he should eat it or not. So throughtout the episode, he does a lot of things including placing it in a coach, a toaster, a toilet, and his own ass (seriously). Then TWICE he eats it and pukes it back up. At the end of the episode, Spongebob EATS it.
- Sponge Bob— as a fetus— eating a Krabby Patty— through his umbilical cord— in his mom's womb in Truth or Square. Try imagining that.
- The notion isn't particularly bad... it's the presentation. The Krabby patty travels through the umbilical cord, and it's pretty straight-forward, until Spongebob rips the umbilical cord out of his abdomen and puts it in his mouth to suck it like a straw!
- Despite extensive use of rats, Ratatouille has only one nausea-inducing scene: lots of sewer rats invading a pantry and climbing up the shelves. Yuck.
- Which is only nauseating if you have a problem with rats in general, honestly.
- The Simpsons has had a few, with Homer's eyes crusting over after Lasik surgery and his scab growing over Ralph's hand ("It knows you're afraid!") being among the worst.
- Also, when Willie strangles Homer with a pipe, and his eyeball pops halfway out of his socket resulted in an immediate gag reflex.
- Plus there's the episode "Stop, or My Dog will Shoot!" when Bart buys the snake where he asks for "five feet" and the pet store guy measures out the proper amount from a snake roll and cuts it off with a paper slicer. Simultaneous Nausea Fuel and Fridge Logic (if that's how it's done, how does the next snake have a head???).
- The one episode where Marge cuts Homer's thumb off, and blood keeps squirting out of the nub and Homer is trying to rush to the hospital and his digit keeps fading in colour... It made him unwell.
- The very end segment of Treehouse of Horror 5 is rather nauseating. The whole family get turned inside out by a fog and begans singing and dancing about it. To add insult to injury, Santa's Little Helper cames out and grabs Bart by his intestines carrying him off. ICK.
- The Ren And Stimpy Show features this in just about every episode.
- For a specific example, one episode begins with Ren and Stimpy being hit by a bus, and in order to survive they're stitched together. They then get jobs as freaks at a circus, and the first freak they meet has the lower half of a human growing out of his chest.
- How about when Ren pulls out the nerve endings from his mouth with tweezers?
- This is the show that popularised Gross Up Close Up.
- The Marvelous Misadventures Of Flapjack ...see above.
- The scene where all the citizens of Storm-A-Long turn into hideous beings straight out of an H.P Lovecraft novel due to Flapjack's pet rat giving them The Black Plague.
- Or how about "Fancy Pants", which ends in about the same way Mr. Creosote's scene in The Meaning of Life does? Ewww.
- How about the episode in which Flapjack finds a "baby". The creation of the baby involves flapjack taking some of K'nuckle's parts for the baby while he sleeps.
- Code Name Kids Next Door. PINKEYE.
- A handful of episodes from Aqua Teen Hunger Force certainly count, especially later on.
- Probably the most extreme example is the time Shake microwaves Meatwad's kitten. Believe it or not, it's actually much worse than it sounds, especially when Meatwad tries to salvage the remains.
- In Monkey Dust, the ants in the surgical incision!
- The creepy, acid-trip fight scenes from Super Jail would most definitely qualify.
- At one point in Edd Ed N Eddy, Ed starts sucking on a raingutter that is filled with the usual detritus one finds in a raingutter - that is, rotten leaves - then swallows it.
- Sarah at the end of "Run Ed Run". Her body was stuffed with full jawbreakers. Ew.
- Robot Chicken has the sketch where two guests at a filthy restaurant are served an unappetizing meal. The cook then kills a bug and places it on top. And then there's the other sketch with the booger escaping the kid's nose...Ew...
- Any Yuckie Duck cartoon short from the What A Cartoon Show overfills with this.
- The ipecac scene from Family Guy.
- What about the end of the infamous "Scott Tenorman Must Die" episode in South Park? Maybe I'm just squemish, but even thinking about it makes me want to hurl.
- Metalocalypse is chock-full of enough violence and gore to set anybody's stomach churning but the two instances that stand out the most for this troper happen at the beginning of the series: Jean-Pierre's hacked-up-by-a-helicopter body pieces being kept alive on life-support (honestly, seeing him sewn back together wrong is a relief after that) in episode one, and Dick Knubbler's eyes exploding at the end of the second episode.
- Or how about the episode where the band drinks a bottle of bleach in order to give the illusion that they are healthy?
Webcomics
- The Looking For Group comic #291, (and its implications) generally caused two reactions. Some people were saying Squee. The rest of the population was reaching for the Brain Bleach.
- Also caused a third reaction - laughter. It is a comedic strip, after all.
