  • Negi in particular has a great one after receiving an email containing some... potentially indecent photos of one of his students. For the record, she wanted to hook up with Negi's cousin Nagi (actually Negi magically aged up) so her friends KOed her, dressed her in a Playboy Bunny costume, took pictures, and sent them to Nagi.
  • Evangeline also does a good one at the beginning of book 4, when Asuna correctly guesses she was in love with Nagi Springfield, Negi's father.
  • Another one for Eva is when Albi... ahem, Colonel Sanders proposes to Negi to be his apprentice. Hilarity ensues and it turns out the Colonel was just trolling Eva; though you have to admit he made some good points on why Negi should be his apprentice....
  • Nodoka also gets a good one after she confesses her feelings to Negi, when Asakura, trying to learn more about the spoilered incident, asks if she slept with Negi.

• Nisekoi gets a lot of mileage of this trope. It's almost surprising when someone does manage to swallow!
• No Game No Life: This is what happens when you offer a bibliophile 40,000 books from an alien planet while she's having tea. Seriously, with how much she drools, you'd think that 80% of that spit-take was spit.
  Jibril: The question is... what could you possibly offer me?

  [spits ALL her tea in Shiro's face]

• One Piece:
  • Both Luffy and Usopp pull off one of these during the Alabasta arc. After having wandered in the desert without any water for a long period of time, the pair are in a bar where they order several barrels of water for them and the rest of the crew, unaware that sitting right next to them are Captain Smoker and his subordinate Tashigi, two high-ranking Naval officers that they had managed to outrun earlier on. Once the pirates do realize this, however, they effectively spit out two barrels worth of water at the Marine officers.
  • Some time later, in the tavern in Mock Town, Luffy and Zoro get mistreated by the ruffians inside (Luffy ordered Zoro not to retaliate that time). Later, new wanted posters arrive that reveal Luffy and Zoro had just been upgraded and now carry the two highest bounties on the island at present. Everyone starts getting scared until Jerkass Bellamy reassures them it must be a mistake. But then, Luffy is heard outside calling him out (because Bellamy and his crew had beat up some friends of his earlier) with a tone of incipient ass-kicking. Cue mass spit-take as the tavern goes into a panic again.
  • There's another one a few hundred chapters later, during the flashback that shows Luffy and Ace's past. The brothers are at Dadan's, enjoying dinner and talking about becoming pirates, when they see Dadan and all of the mountain bandits spit-take. Luffy and Ace look in confusion for a few seconds until someone behind them clears his throat. They have enough time to look nervous before turning around and seeing Garp standing there. They immediately do the same Spit Take... in spite of not drinking anything (which makes it, in a sense, a literal spit take).
  • In a scene of the anime, they discover that the old man that helped them earlier is Silvers Rayleigh, vice-captain of the Pirate King. Ussop then drinks a bit of juice just to immediately spit it out.
• One-Punch Man: In the first episode of season 2 of the anime, as they are both playing a video game while sipping on orange juice, Saitama asks King out of the blue why he fled the rampaging robot that Genos is now fighting. King immediately spit-takes.

  • This conversation occurs when quite a few main characters are discussing a robbery:
    Akane: Well, attacking with pantyhose though? That's just weird. [takes a sip from her drink]
    Happōsai: If it were your pantyhose, Akane, you could attack me anytime!
    Akane: [spit-take] That's disgusting!
