->''"So bunny now sits on my shelf at home, next to my smelly toy telephone, and the dirty old bear with the stains and spots, 'cause my little brother throws up a lot."''
-->-- ''Music/PeterAlsop'', "My Brother Threw Up on My Stuffed Toy Bunny"

This trope is about the poor saps who vomit whenever there's even a slightly logical reason to. When they're disgusted, when they're in a vehicle, when they're on a roller coaster, you name it. Sometimes, if they're about six or younger or a dog, they might vomit for no reason at all.

This trope is usually played for laughs. You might say it puts the "gag" in RunningGag. It might also be a way to portray a character as gross (as in, "Eww, I have to sit on the bus next to the kid who barfs a lot!"). It's also inexplicably associated with {{nerd}}s and with neurotic people (while [[StressVomit nervousness can cause vomiting]], many of these characters vomit for unrelated reasons and just happen to have a nervy personality). If a character Prone to Vomiting is a nerd ''and'' neurotic, you get a SicklyNeuroticGeek.

If the character is an animal or a baby, the trope is often played to portray them as annoying. It's also useful for the writers to have one of these characters around if they need to quickly have something disgusting happen or for a place to be off-limits (e.g. "Don't go in there, Alice threw up again!"). They'll also be the focus of any motion sickness joke whenever the characters go on a trip.

To qualify as this trope, it's not enough for the character to just have ''one'' thing that makes them vomit. For instance, if Alice is seasick, that's probably not this trope, but if she's seasick, airsick, ''and'' carsick, it probably is.

Compare VomitDiscretionShot, VomitIndiscretionShot, MorningSickness, VomitingCop, CharacterTics, and HairballHumor. Contrast NauseaDissonance. Despite the name similarity, ProneToTears isn't really related.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Downplayed for Lincoln Loud who throws up when he eats something gross (as seen in "Brawl in the Family" with a dirty bagel and "Not a Loud" with worms) and when on the teacup ride (as seen in a LicensedGame) but is fine otherwise, even with seemingly more intense rides.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'':
** Dil, being three months old, sometimes randomly spits up on things.
** Downplayed for Chuckie, who doesn't throw up as much as Dil, but he does when watching a swing move (as seen in "A Dose of Dil") and when on a roller coaster (mentioned in "Accidents Happen").
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has Wendell Borton, the sickly little pale kid at Springfield Elementary. In "Homer's Odyssey", Bart is afraid of sitting next to him on the bus because of his tendency to get car sick. (Otto [[DrivesLikeCrazy driving like crazy]] certainly doesn't help.) When they make it without Wendell barfing, Bart gives him a congratulatory slap on the back... and that's when he throws up.

[[folder: Real Life]]
* Babies under four months often regurgitate the contents of their stomach, known as "spitting up", which is not forceful like regular vomiting.
* Some animals (like bees, cows, owls, and to a lesser extent cats) need to regurgitate their food (and other stuff they've swallowed) either as part of their digestive process or to get rid of indigestible things they've ingested.
