Just as Nightmare Fuel in both of its varieties breeds nightmares, 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. May overlap with Fan Disservice.

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 via her newly-acquired Shadow Dragon, and the utterly brutal rape and murder of Norio in the manga.
- Bokurano, which is from the same author, isn't quite as gruesome, though there's no doubt that watching a guy getting half his hand sliced off is pretty wince-worthy. In the manga, there's also the scene where Chizu slits Kako's throat.
- Naruto: Orochimaru'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.
- 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 he 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.
- 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.
- The crucifixion of Satoko scene.
- Keiichi clawing out his own throat...
- As well as the fight between Rina and Rena.
- Rika scratching her throat out after stabbing herself in the neck many times in the manga comes to mind. As well as her death in Minagoroshi-hen.
- 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.
- Goosh Goosh. So bad there's reaction videos of it. It features a morbidly obese man raping a young male prostitute to death, all the while he keeps screaming GOOSH GOOSH! GOOSH GOOSH!
- Several bits in Neon Genesis Evangelion like the Bardiel fight, which ends with the angel's viscera splattered over an entire town and several mountains. Kaworu's death, where his body is crushed and his head blown off from the pressure. And the part where Eva Unit-1 defeats Zeruel and then eats it.
- There's also pretty much everything in The End of Evangelion. Especially the way Asuka checks out, getting ripped to shreds and devoured by the Mass Produced Evas.
- 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 lying 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.
- Mai-Chan's Daily Life. We're talking Nausea OPEC here.
- Cool Devices. THE WHOLE FUCKING SERIES.
- The Holes. A now infamous hentai doujin known to completely disgust even those with the most deviant interests.
- 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 attempting to resurrect their mother. Her earlier work Stray Dog has some minor examples restricted to a few pages, but those present are profoundly 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.
- Hänsel and Gretel from Black Lagoon. They slaughter everyone they can because they can, sacrifice children to get out afterward, play some REALLY sick games with the survivors of their assaults and are smiling the whole time. Them being probably incestuous is likely their least disturbing attribute.
- Pretty much everything about The World Is Mine. In addition to the grotesque character designs and horrific deaths and injuries caused by the two Villain Protagonists and the mysterious giant bear mecha, there's the decidedly unfit prime minister's nude scenes, the former prime minister's fetish for the collected "secretions" of his mistresses that he happily shares with his friends, the cop who can't control his saliva getting on everything when he talks (his superior advises him to see a doctor about it) and Wild Child Toshi's discriminating taste in sex partners/victims.
- Here's a big bag of guro (includes Amigara Fault plus other works of Junji Ito. Use them well.)!
- That Eldritch Abomination in AKIRA. Also counts as High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
- Author of Kuroshitsuji Yana Toboso certainly seems to enjoy the gory side of life, what with the orphan murder rituals, vomit covered Ciel clinging to Sebastian and, in the second series of the anime, Alois Trancy trying to gouge his maid's eye out at the breakfast table for kicks. Not to mention the sword they keep in Hannah's esophagus
- There's an element of Nausea Fuel in pretty much anything by Junji Ito, but the short story Glyceride, the part in Uzumaki where they eat the snail-people, and the whole kidney arc of Tomie in particular. Also, the additional Tomie story in Museum of Terror where her ex-lover continually beats her constantly regenerating body to a pulp, and then disposes of said pulp by turning it into sake.
- Spirited Away, anyone? Particularly when Sen has to bathe the muck monster, but worse is when No-Face is purging himself.
- The early scene where the parents transform into pigs is pretty repulsive.
- The scene in the manga of Tactics in which we see Kantarou as a child, taking a shit, and we get a good view of the turd coming out. Whoever thought it was a good idea to show that must be one sick person.
- Dead Leaves, my GOD, Dead Leaves. For starters, the scene where they stick the tubes up the prisoners' asses and suck out all the fecal matter.
- And the scene where a guy with a drill for a penis shoves it up another guy's ass.
- And the guy who has balls for a head, with sperm oozing out of it.
- Madoka Magica. Mami being eaten alive by Charlotte.. In the anime you don't see it, but you hear it. In the manga, you see it all.
- In the prequel Oriko Magica, Kazuko-sensei is the one who gets chomped on. It's just as ugly.
- The animated adaption of Fate/zero gives us Zouken's...welcome to Sakura via insect-rape. She's a girl of like 5, and you get to see the aftermath in glorious high definition. He also implies that he raped her on the first day she was here - which, those who played Heavens Feel in Fate/stay night know to be true. Not only does it make you want to throw up, it does absolute wonders towards your hatred of Zouken.
- You thought volume 13 of Berserk was bad enough, then you haven't read Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest, which brings up the nausea fuel to level friggin' eleven right around chapters 74-76.... and it lasts for several, SEVERAL more chapters. Forget about Brain Bleach - you'll need a dose of amnesia after this.
- Lest we not forget Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Monsters in the beginning of the series always were some sort of personified Nausea Fuel. Shit monster, sperm ghosts who died during masturbation, bulimia monster who had boobs for eyes, vomit monster that causes others to retch all over Tokyo, etc.
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. .
- An awful lot of Darker and Edgier bloodsplatter comics from the Iron Age. This trend hasn't really ended (it hasn't been that long since a demonic version of Wonder Dog ate Marvin in Teen Titans); we readers have just become somewhat inured to it.
Fan Fiction
- Agony In Pink. That is all.
- Thousand Shinji: any scene involving Rei's worship of Nurgle. Especially the Iruel battle and Rei's transformation into Reigle.
- ARSENAL: The Black Bunnies, both what they do and what eventually gets done to them. Some of the other characters, especially Shinji, can edge into this as well.
- In Axis Powers Hetalia there is a comic, which later expanded into so many spin-offs it's practically a fandom of its own, known as the Financial Crisis Gangbang. Basically, the cast blames America for the economic crisis... so they (with the exception of his little brother Canada, thank god) gang rape him. And that's not even going into the "America's revenge" fics, where he makes it his priority to torture and murder his rapists in the worst ways the author can think of at the time.
- Speaking of Hetalia fanwork, there's also the (somewhat infamous now) fanfiction Debt. Let's just say it's Agony In Pink: The Hetalia version.
- There's also My Little Chicken, written by the same person who did Debt. In it, America lays eggs out his anus in described detail and Russia, who has a fetish for it, has sex with him while he does it. In fact, this author's whole library of fanfiction could be consider Nausea Fuel.
- Two Words: Poké Wars. Every battle has at least one close-up on the effect of a brutal attack, and with the dampeners off... Well, let's say it's not pretty to people not used to Ludicrous Gibs.
- Hogwarts Exposed has copious amounts of both forms of Nausea Fuel. It's most infamous as a Gross Out Show of a Dark Fic complete with rape, paedophilia, torture and bodily functions. When it takes a break from this, it instead assaults the reader with strangely out-of-place, sickly-sweet glurge.
- Kanashii No Imi. That is all.
- There is a reason why Cupcakes is one of the most, if not the most, infamous DarkFics in the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fandom. The truely gruesome discriptions of the Cold-Blooded Torture is enough to make unwary readers not want to eat for the rest of the day... or week.
- Someone read Cupcakes and must have thought "Know what this needs? Less plot and more gruesome murder and torture." Enter the Fan Fic Sweet Apple Massacre. Big Mac doesn't like the Cutie Mark Crusader's noise and decides to silence them permanently. After having his gruesome fun of course.
- Both of which pale in comparison to Cheerilee's Garden. In particular, Sweetie Belle's death, although the others could probably spark some unpleasant reactions as well.
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.
- The dog defecating the ring isn't the worst part. The worst part is when Stifler puts the turd in his mouth and starts chewing it.
- Fifth and Sixth sequel both have prominent scenes of guys projectile-vomiting on girls' cleavages.
- 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.
- The Anthropophagus Beast. 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.)
- At the end, the recently disemboweled killer starts eating his own spilled innards as he dies.
- 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.
- The climactic scene near the very end of Fight Club, where the protagonist blows a hole in the back of his own head in order to kill Tyler Durden. No matter how many times this troper watches the film, I have to look away or risk vomiting.
- The Canadian sci-fi/horror trilogy Cube definitely has this, with lots of scenes involving people being subjected to various deadly traps... including sprays of flesh-melting acid and people-slicing wires.
- Any scene in the Austin Powers movies that involves Fat Bastard.
- There's also this gem:
- The scene in the third movie where Goldmember eats a flake of his own dried skin and describes it as salty falls under this.
- 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). Among its bits of nastiness: 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 breathe and chokes.
- Tarantino was a talking head in Not Quite Hollywood, a documentary of Australian films, and he clearly had a lot of enthusiasm for the subject, mainly because of their over-the-top recklessness. For him to call this his favorite is saying a lot.
- 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 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.
- Or, from Batman Begins, how about Rachel's fear toxin hallucination of Crane? With maggots falling out of his face? EW.
- 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 its body being torn away.
- The metal locusts. The way they slowly and meticulously tear a human being apart from the microscopic level up in their introduction, all while multiplying exponentially.
- Dirty Love. A woman vomits all over her breasts while pole-dancing and menstruates all over a rug. Fan Disservice FTW!
- 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.
- Skip the popcorn at District 9. Between the vomiting black ooze, 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 utterly unredeemable list is an extensive, nauseating vomiting scene; even with the obvious Special Effects Failure it's still disgusting.
- 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.
- The sperm-like creatures crawling all over the apartment. Not so gross, until you find out that Lynch used real human umbilical cords.
- 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. 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 (ŕ 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.
- The Feast trilogy, especially in the second when the dead creature sprays semen over everyone and they begin to vomit uncontrollably.
- 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.
- The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.
- The cards that inspired the movie as well.
- Ghost Ship. Two men eat some seemingly innocuous tins of beans and rice from the kitchen of a derelict, adrift, haunted ocean liner. Then they realize that they're actually wolfing down... maggots.
- 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.
- Hostel. The gorn in this movie is enough to get to a lot of people, but the most disgusting moment in the film is easily the bit where Paxton cuts the optic nerve of the captured Japanese girl, who has had half her face burned off. Having got through all of that movie unaffected, that part literally made me so sick that I passed out.
- 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.
- The entire premise of The Human Centipede. Created for the sole purpose of grossing people out- most people can't even watch the preview!
- The sequel takes this Up to Eleven: In the first film there were three people involved in the centipede, in the sequel there are twelve people. One scence in particular is so disturbing I've put it in spoiler tags for more sensitive tropers: A woman gives birth inside a car and actually sqaushes the newborn's head to escape in the car from the villan.
- 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.
- This is only one of the wondrous treats you have in store when you watch Gozu, by the same Takashi Miike who brought you Audition. The Yakuza boss with a fetish for having cookware inserted into a non-culinary orifice is particularly revolting. Gozu is said to be Miike's homage to David Lynch's Lost Highway, which already had the weirdness turned Up to Eleven. Gozu turns it up to eleven squared.
- And, hey, Lost Highway itself has numerous instances. The one that's probably the most disturbing flashes by extremely quickly: a security camera image of him with Renee's body. She is dissembled, with her lower body positioned to mimic the Black Dahlia murder, and Fred is grinning at the camera. This adds squick to another apparently innocent security camera image, which shows Fred and Renee in bed together. But Renee appears to have seams on her limbs, suggesting that this is actually Renee's reassembled body.
- 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!" Many kids thought this was the case. Truthfully, that's actually an idiom, and fitting considering it came from the Trunchbull's mouth.
- It didn't help that the lunch lady wiped her frickin' nose with both her hands while the Trunchbull says it!
- Monty Python's The Meaning of Life where Mr. Creosote gorges on food until he explodes.
- The actual exploding is pretty tame and cartoonish compared to what precedes it: In order to make room for his meal, Mr. Creosote projectile vomits, repeatedly and realistically, onto the floor, into a bucket, and all over the wait staff. The other customers are so disgusted by this that they too begin to lose their dinners — no doubt channeling the reactions of the audience.
- One poor extra, in fact, was apparently so overcome by the stench of the mixture used for the vomiting/explosion that he threw up for real. if you watch the right-hand side of the screen in the closing shot, the poor guy is painfully obvious...
- 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!!!!...
- The child was still alive during the autopsy. Alive and awake.
- 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.
- The writhing, wiggling mandrake root in Pan's Labyrinth.
- 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.
- The bit in Brain Dead when the rotting, diseased, half-dead mother dropped her ear in the pudding and then ate it.
- Meet the Feebles: an antropomorphic fly character landing on a pile of feces in toilet bown and feasting on it in extended close-ups. A rabbit character slowly decaying from a veneral disease as his body gets covered with boils. The fact that they are puppets may have averted murders and disemboweling scenes somewhat, but there are a lot of other nauseating things that look realistic enough.
- 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.
- The part in At World's End where Davy Jones uses his tentacles to kill Mercer.
- When they're sailing through the frozen wasteland and one of the crew members snaps off his own frozen toe.
- 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.
- 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.
- Amanda being thrown into the pit of dirty syringes. What the hell is IN those?!?
- Not necessarily a trap, but the opening scene of Saw IV involving John Kramer/Jigsaw's autopsy was pretty gruesome.
- John getting his skull drilled in part 3.
- 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.
- Slumdog Millionaire: Jamal is stuck in a bathroom with only two exits, a jammed door and... guess it.
- 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 entirety of Squirm. Thank god Mike and the bots were there, or I would have dry heaved several times.
- 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.
- Strange Brew: After Bob and Doug drink all the beer, they try to take their dog Hosehead's bowl, which has beer in it, by giving the dog a donut, and then they pour the dog's beer into another glass for their dad. No really, it's quite gross since the beer in the dog bowl is mixed with dog food. Yuck.
- 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.
- Sweet Movie, an obscure Euroshlock Le Film Artistique by Dusan Makavejev. People vomit, piss and defecate on each other and play around in it, defecate onto plates and eat it, a woman masturbates with melted chocolate, a woman disembowels a man in a vat of sugar causing it to become all mixed and clumpy with gore, Holocaust footage of babies being murdered and brutalized, and a woman performs a lap-dance on prepubescent boys, whom are noticeably uncomfortable, before murdering them. Some advice: don't see it.
- 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 in Thinner where the guy slices his hand open and pours his blood into a pie. YUCK!
- 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 Shit Movie, but an even more appropriate title would be The Pig Shit, 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 "fiancé" 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.
- Taxidermia is full of images you will never be able to unwatch. From the chronic masturbator having explicit sex with an old, obese woman on a bed of dead pig, to the couple of competitive eaters who vomit nearly as disgustingly as the foul-looking foods they cram into their mouths, to the taxidermist who embalms his monstrous father and then himself, while alive.
- The Thing. John Carpenter's remake of the Howard Hawkes classic is pretty much the straight-up epitome of this. It's so disgusting and revolting that in its theatrical run, Carpenter requested theatres to screen this in the auditorium nearest the bathrooms in case anyone had to puke at the gore.
- Repo! The Genetic Opera: There's nothing quite like a musical where two people are disembowelled with no anaesthetic, a man has his spine removed, and Paris Hilton's face falls off.
- In the second Urban Legend, when the main character finds the corpses of her friends, there's a graphic shot of rats eating their way in and out of one of the bodies.
- Jan Svankmajer's Food has a final part called 'Dinner'. This involves a man covering his own severed left hand in condiments, then eating it after nailing a fork to his new, wooden hand, followed by an athlete eating his own left leg, a woman covering her severed breasts in lemon juice, and finally, the clincher, a slobbish, hairy fat man sticking a fork and knife in his own genitals, before covering them and shooing the audience away with his hand. Especially disgusting if you're having sausages for dinner that night.
- Many scenes of House of 1000 Corpses can be nausea-inducing—and that's excluding the '70s gore of it. What is that dog food-like substance Tiny is eating? What is that... dark goop Jerry is swimming around in? These are questions probably better left unanswered.
- Slither. It's not just what happens to the people, it's just the... the slugs. I can't watch this movie, not because it scares me but because it literally makes me sick! I tip my hat to anyone that can watch this thing while eating!
- Cannibal Holocaust. Most of the movie. The cannibal parts might not get to you that much, but the REAL animal deaths, the camera crew's actions, and rape scenes probably will.
- After Hollywood Hacking control of court televisions in Iron Man 2, one video shows an attempted start-up of an Iron Man immitation. The suit starts up... and it turns 180 degrees at the hip. Allegedly the test pilot regained consciousness, though really having your spine split from your legs is usually fatal.
- The mutant bear in Prophecy was so absolutely revolting it had people puking in the theaters. Ushers on cleanup detail kinda disliked this movie.
- Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. The Doctor sends a crab-bot covered in green slime up Sam's nose to probe his brain. You can see tendrils peeking out his nose and mouth.
- Year One had some very gross scenes, like Jack Black eating poop, Michael Cera (the Butt Monkey of the movie) having a Potty Failure resulting in him peeing all over his face, and Michael Cera rubbing oil on Oliver Platt's chest.
- Three words: Newborn baby rape.
- Duncan drinking dog pee to cleanse himself after diving his hand into a crap-filled toilet in a gentleman's club to retrieve a ring that was recently peed out by a stripper in Mystery Team. It Makes Sense in Context
- Andre the Butcher: The title character eats his own scabs.
- In Marley and Me, the dog swallows a ring, so later the man has to hose the dog poop down and retrieve the ring out of it. We see the dog poop close-up, and see tiny chunks of corn in it too. *vomits*
- Turistas has a scene of a woman being vivisected on-screen. The reason? The doctor believes that organ theft from the poor is how the rich foreigners take advantage of Brazilian "natural resources" and delivers a Hannibal Lecture about "collecting payment" to her tied-up boyfriend while slowly and methodically extracting her organs one by one. It's not the organ theft that's really disturbing but the fact that she's fully conscious while it happens, crying and whimpering as she watches the doctor casually pulling out a kidney through the incision on her belly. After everything of value is removed, her topless and still bleeding corpse is dumped into a sideroom for the boyfriend's rescuer to stumble on. Unless you have a guro fetish, DON'T WATCH THIS FILM.
- If you thought the original birthing scene of Breaking Dawn was bad, it was quite a bit worse in The Movie. Many reviewers who liked the So Bad, It's Good value of the other three movies were absolutely repulsed by this scene, going as far as to declare it the worst film in the series. In fact, it has caused violent seizures... exclusively in males.
Literature
- In the book "Wicked!" (Not the one with the witches.) has worm-like monsters that suck out the insides of both humans and animals, even worse when the main characters find the skin of a dog, floating in the wind.
- Speaking of the other Wicked, it has several examples, the most prominent of which being that not only is Elphaba born green, she is also born with vicious teeth. She likes biting, and has to be restrained to stop her hurting herself, and can't be breastfed.
- Wetlands by Charlotte Roche
- Ron's unfortunate "splinching" in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where a chunk of his arm is missing.
- Not to mention the "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans", some of which taste like boogers, vomit or even earwax. Their real-life counterpart (made by Jelly Belly), contain regular flavors as well as grosser ones like Spinach, Spaghetti, Grass and yes, Boogers, Vomit and Earwax. They're actually pretty spot on.
- The Tuna one, oddly enough, isn't too bad if you enjoy sushi.
- Oddly enough some of these were originally made to be legitimate flavors. Vomit, for example, was supposed to be pizza.
- Apparently, the (as-yet unrevealed) ritual for creating a Horcrux acted as nausea fuel for J. K. Rowling's editor. Rowling has said that the ritual will be spilled to the general public in the Harry Potter Encyclopaedia when it eventually puts in an appearance.
- 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. To wit — when we say wash, we really mean "ground off to a bloody stump".
- 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.
- Not only that, Guts was based on a true story. Palahniuk met the guy at a sexohlic meeting. Ow.
- 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...
- Speaking of Applegate, how about Elfangor getting eaten alive in Animorphs?
- Also, "The Sickness", where Marco is discribing the various terms for "throwing up". Power of suggestion lol
- 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 Ingrove'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.
"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."
- The rampage of the loup-garou in Fool Moon is one of the most explicitly violent scenes in the series. It seems as if everyone in the station is horribly killed or traumatised for life.
- From a Buick 8 by Stephen King has a good bit of nausea fuel, particularly the dissection scene.
- In Misery, at one point Annie crushes a rat to death with her bare hand, poking her fingers into its body in the process. And then she licks her fingers. Paul wasn't the only one that felt ill. Also, sometime during the later half of the book Annie cuts off one of Paul's thumbs. And then puts it on a birthday cake and serves it to him, making a not-so subtle threat to force him to eat it.
- You forgot the part where she forces him to drink her filthy cleaning water. As well as the part where she hacks his foot off with an axe and then cauterizes the wound with a blowtorch. Sounds awful, turns out to be far, far worse.
- 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! The same book also features a man-eating vagina. Quit sniggering.
- The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. He aimed at the nation's heart, but hit its stomach.
- Filth by Irvine Welsh features a disgusting detective who has a tapeworm living in his guts. It has some horrendous, graphically written scenes of the tapeworm coming out for a visit. Also, the guy himself does some pretty vile things throughout the book.
- Friday the 13th: Church of the Divine Psychopath spends an inordinate amount of time describing how horribly mangled and infected a character's foot has become. It gets worse when he tries running from Jason, and steps on a really pointy stick, then Jason impales him, rips the machete out, lifts him up, and jams his hand into the machete wound and starts pulling stuff out.
- Princeps' Fury, the fifth book of Codex Alera, briefly features a Taken grass lion. That's not the squicky part. The squicky part is that the damn thing's essentially rotting alive, complete with description of maggots squirming under its flesh.
- Any edition of the Guinness Book Of World Records released since circa 2000. It was around then that it seemed to turn into Guinness Book of Gross-Out Records, with as many disgusting images they could manage per page.
- American Psycho. Just, anything that Bateman does to his victims. Some Highlights include sticking a tube with a rat in it up a woman's vagina then chainsawing her in half, and using a wide drill bit to gouge a woman's mouth open, skull- [BEEP] her, then pull her throat out through her mouth. Or where he nails his ex-girlfriend to a plank of wood and proceeds to totally destroy her body while she is still alive. Quite possibly one of the most nausea filled books around.
- Any book documenting torture devices through history.
- In The Naming of the Beasts, Felix Castor attempts hand-to-hand combat with the demon Asmodeus.That part of the plan does not go very well for him.
He kicked something across the floor at me - something red and wet that looked as though it belonged in the little plastic bag you find up a chicken's arse and throw away before you cook it. Part of my jawbone; I could tell by the fact that it still had three teeth embedded in it.
- A Japanese folktale tells of a certain prince who was insulted that a certain highly intelligent princess refused to see him. After she scares him with a mechanical snake he steals her chamber pot to prove she isn't perfect. After inspecting the pot thouroughly he drinks its contents — the princess had filled the (presumably brand-new) pot with golden tea and fragrent herbs.
- Another folktale has a monk who has "relations" with his young acolyte, who turns out to be a woman, who is really the goddess Kanon. When she goes away she leaves a giant nugget of gold (the monk thought his lover was pregnant), as well as a bucket of all the sperm from their relationship.
- Michael Gira's short story collection The Consumer is loaded to the brim with this, often in conjunction with massive amounts of High Octane Nightmare Fuel. Take, for example, the opening story, "Empathy", which may be the most uncomfortable tale of Brother-Sister Incest ever written. Or "The Whore Boy", which is just... the curious can read it themselves.
- Jeremy Robert Johnson's short story compilation Angeldust Apocalypse, in which a character takes horse tranquilizers and begins to cut disembowel himself with a scalpal, pulling out his intestines while his parents watch in horror. And that may be one of the tamer stories in the book.
Live Action TV
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.
- Death Metal and goregrind lyrics as a rule. Particularly notable is UK band Carcass, with songs with names like "Genital Grinder" and "Oxidized Razor Masticator".
- The disturbing prose-poem from Swans' "Your Game", which was originally published as part of The Consumer (see Literature).
- 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.
- The music video for "Sexy And I Know It", full stop.
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.
- Let's not forget (Like we could) The boogeyman's habit of eating fistfuls of worms.
Tabletop Games
- For the love of the Emperor, how did we miss nasty, pus-filled, disease-carrying, bowel-voiding Nurgle?
- In The Book of Vile Darkness, there is a feat that allows you to better work with the undead. How do you get this feat? NECROPHILIA!
Video Games
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.
- Mortasheen has a huge chunk of this, given that it is a dark comedy Bio Punk take on the Mons genre, but one that is especially nauseating, even for the series, is the sheer Squick that is Pustulump
- User 927. 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 927 was one of those, and had effectively the creepiest search habits ever. If you want to know what they are, look for it yourself.
- 40 pizza rolls eaten in a few minutes. After watching this, you may never want to even look at another pizza roll ever again.
- Retsupurae: It's like you're in his lap! And he's eating the pizza rolls off you!
- 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.
- Lotus Breast, a photoshopped image combining a woman's breast with the holes of a lotus bud. Search for it at your own risk.
- Das Blau Waffel. Don't eat anything when you look at it.
- The Biggest Pimple in the World. Barf bags are mandatory here.
- Eh, Your Mileage May Vary here. Some might not find that a particularly disgusting thing to view at all. Now, what this unfortunate soul has to suffer through? You feel for him at the same time as you're SUPER grossed out. Warning: Do not watch if you've eaten in the last hour.
- In the Doctor Steel Christmas Special, Santa gives the little girl a "Polly Pukes-a-Lot" doll.
- Some of the more mangled or unintentionally faecal entries on Cake Wrecks.
- Pretty much the entire purpose of shock sites.
- The Mermaid Problem page here on T Vtropes. In particular, the image◊ there.
- The Angry Video Game Nerd's style of analogies for video games is pretty much built on this trope.
- The Team Fortress 2 fan video Sniper Soda is about Sniper urinating into a soda can (because all his jars of urine are full), and Scout accidentally drinking it.
Western Animation
Note that many of these are kids' shows. There's an idea that since cartoons are... well, "cartoony", they can get away with stuff that would be, frankly, rated "R" if it were live action. As this list reveals, not all audiences agree...
- 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.
- Or when Billy and Mandy force Grim to resurrect the school mascot cats. That, in itself, is pretty bad, but when Billy asks one of the cats to scratch his back...his skin and muscle get shredded by the splintered claws of the undead cat, and his spinal column pokes 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.
- 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 clincher for that episode was when Zim SPITS UP A SMALL INTESTINE THEN SLURPS IT BACK UP.
- Bloaty's. Pizza. HOG. Just look at him!◊ And the guy that's inside the suit... just Bleeeeuurck.
- Two examples from "Lice" first when one of the boys gets lice he scratches his scalp down to the bone and his skull cracks, and at the end when Zim's lower body is ripped off revealing a slimy plant like structure underneath.
- 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.
- SpongebobSquarepants 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 causing gallons and gallons of puke green pus to shoot out and cover everyone. Honorable mentions include "Plankton's Regular", in which SpongeBob and Plankton both are peeled, quite disgustingly, and "House Fancy", in which Squid loses a toenail in the grossest way he can.
- 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. See for yourself◊
- 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.
- "I call it, the nasty 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.
- An 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.
- There was an episode 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!
- The donut episode. 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 butt (seriously). Then twice he eats it and pukes it back up. At the end of the episode, Spongebob EATS it.
- SpongeBob — 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!
- Quite a lot of the episodes after the movie have Nausea Fuel in them, actually.
- One episode has Squidward rip his own eyebrow (WITH the skin) off after Spongebob makes a loud noise.
- The episode where Krabs and Plankton compete by selling more greasy items (including "soup" which is literally just grease on a plate).
- Spongebob steps directly into the eyes of the Tattletale Strangler, embedding his feet up to the ankles, did I mention he's also wearing cleated shoes?
- The episode "Fungus Among Us" squicked me so bad I had to change the channel. Lost most liking for SB after THAT.
- The episode where Plankton hides out in a machine designed to look like a milkshake, and is then drank by a fish. Guess how he gets out.
- 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 (though it becomes Nausea Fuel Retardant when the next scene with Homer {still blind from the scabs over his eyes} being driven to the liquor store by Kearney and his Obnoxious Of Bullies for Jack Daniels and cigarettes) and the wound from his ACL injury 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 (a la Mr. DeMartino from Daria) 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 (season 12's "Trilogy of Errors" {a.k.a The Rashomon episode showing Bart's, Lisa's, and Homer's points of view on Science Fair Day at school}) 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 color... 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 (after Bart wakes up from his dream of being cannibalized by the staff at Springfield Elementary) 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 Bob Next Door". Sideshow Bob switches identies with his cellmate. Their faces come undone at least 4 times, showing off the muscles underneath!
- Homer's "affair" with a large hero sandwich as seen in "Dial N for Nerder." So bad, the host of the Cheaters Expy show said, "I never thought I'd say this, but turn the camera off!"
- Itchy and Scratchy, anyone?
- There was a short bit where Homer had gotten into a fight with a badger, and was left with a window into his soul. OK, not his soul, there was a lot of stuff pulsating in there, and maybe a lung.
- The Ren and Stimpy Show IS this trope.
- 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 Cat That Laid The Golden Hairball". Stimpy runs out of hair to lick up and swallow; Ren doesn't have enough, but Bubba is hairier than a Greek. Stimpy tries to stop at one revoltingly hairy arm, but Ren goes, "Where are you going? Your plate's still full!" Cue shot of Bubba's hideous back. Then, a shot of Stimpy trying to speak around the mass of black clocksprings in his mouth. AAAAGH
- The entirety of Adult Party Cartoon, and how. For the most extreme example, see "Onwards and Upwards", which was intentionally created as the most disugisting Ren and Stimpy episode ever. There were also parts of "Fire Dogs", involving the Chief's digestion problems, and "Ren Seeks Help" with Ren's actions toward several of his victims that weren't particularly pleasant.
- Hard to believe now that this show was ever on freaking Nickelodeon, let alone that it started out there. It's something you would have thought MTV would produce, not Nick Toons.
- 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. Also the episode "Fancy Pants": it ends in about the same way Mr. Creosote's scene in The Meaning of Life. 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.
- Regular Show has the episode "Rigby's Body" where Rigby eats so much junk food that his soul is ripped from his body, but THAT'S not the gross part! The gross part is when Rigby eats a FRIED SHAKE. Sure, it's known that raccoons will eat almost anything, but GAH!!
- Code Name Kids Next Door. PINKEYE.
- Giant chubby, shrieking Mutant Lice eating everyones hair, Ugh. Complete with chewing sound effects.
- When watching Op. TOMMY, think back to the last time your nasal passages were severely congested. Sure brings back memories, don't it?
- 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.
- Most of Dr. Weird's appearances count.
- There's the Tree Court steno tearing off strips of Carl's skin, to use as paper.
- 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 Ed, Edd 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.
- Luck of the Ed: Ed under a microscope. It even shows a strange parasite with a monobrow living in his dandruff-encrusted hair.
- Not to mention Ed's room, a lot of what Ed does (particularly if it involves his tongue), a few things that Eddy does, and kinda the whole show in general.
- 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.
- Brian & Stewie. Brian eating Stewie's poop. It made Stewie himself throw up. And then, he makes Brian lick up his vomit to wash the poop down.
- The American Dad episode Gorillas in the Midst has a hungover Steve vomiting profusely, followed by Francine confirming that Steve has been drinking by licking the puddle of vomit.
- What about the end of the infamous "Scott Tenorman Must Die" episode in South Park? Maybe I'm just squeamish, but even thinking about it makes me want to hurl.
- It Got Worse - "201 reveals that Scott and Cartman share a father.
- There's also the pooping out of the mouth scenes from "Red Hot Catholic Love".
- Randy's dick exploding and covering the room with his sperm in "Over Logging"
- Kenny eating the manatee spleen vomiting it out and eating it again from "Fat Camp".
- The entire episode where the boys write a disgusting book that's so gross nobody can read it without vomiting. Unquestionably the most disgusting episode ever.
- HUMANCENTiPAD. That is all.
- Metalocalypse is chock-full of enough violence and gore to set anybody's stomach churning but the two instances that stand out the most 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?
- Or Murderface's guest appearance on a family sitcom? He shows up at the door holding the top half of the family dog.
- The Mighty B! has a scene where the Bessie tries to get chicken pox and goes to the length of breaking into someone's house, taking their thermometer out of their mouth and eating the massive ball of phlegm, mucus, and Zeus-knows what stuck on it to do so.
- As if Future Fatass Mandark wasn't gross enough (being so obese that he has to be carried by a crane in his ass), his fate was awful. Losing his Reign of Terror causes his fat to go from his stomach to his head, popping it in the process. Nothing is left but his squishy brain.
- And of course there's the nightmare sequence in Felidae where a demonic Gregor Mendel makes thousands of rotting cat corpses dance like marionettes. And then the corpses start falling apart.
- Special mention has to go to the pregnant cat that was murdered. Her stomach was sliced open and the fetuses were spilling out.
- Total Drama Island: The Eat That episode. You know the one I'm talking about.
- There are three episodes with challenges that provoke this: Brunch Of Disgustingness, I Triple Dog Dare You, and Chinese Fake-Out.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara learning to waterbend using, uh, her own sweat.
- Several moments in RockosModernLife qualify one particular moment in the episode "Tickled Pinky" Rocko takes his dying appendix to a carnival at one point while they're riding a roller coaster a crazy bear who's scared of the ride clings to Rocko's head at one point ripping open his eyelids and exposing his brain inside his head.
- In "No Pain, No Gain" a bull gets his arms ripped off while blood squirts from the stumps and you can see bones and muscle on the ground next to the severed arms.
- In "In-Flu-Enza" while Rocko is waiting for his appointment at the hospital a bird who's smoking a cigarette coughs up his heart and dies.
- In that same episode Retch the hotdog rips off the top of Rocko's head with visible blood and removes his brain only to pop it.
- Every single episode of Drawn Together contains at least one incredibly disgusting or shocking scene.
- The Gorillaz MTV cribs skit, starring Murdoc of course, had some thoroughly gross moments; such as Murdoc peeing over the side of the bathroom stall and into the next one, and the ending close-up on his ass. Interestingly, this is not the last time we would see him in a thong, nor the only time he's portrayed playing the piano naked. Murdoc's an interesting fellow.
- The Courage the Cowardly Dog episode "Curse Of Shirley" features Eustace having a raincloud cursed onto him and it follows him everywhere to the point where he has fungus growing on his body. As if that wasn't bad enough, he proceeds to pluck out his own body fungus and shove them into Muriel's mouth.
- In Ice Age: A Mammoth's Christmas, there is a scene where Peaches pulls a huge amount of earwax out of her ear.
