Disgusting!!

Is anyone else as disgusted as I am about the trend for a while now is showing people barfing on TV Shows and Movies????

Just the other night on a sitcom they showed this.

I hate when this happens and I am not prepared to Mute the Remote!

Why would this be such a trend? No need whatsoever to show this!!!!

Fortunately, none of the shows I watch have included such an activity.

The Greatest Barf Scene in the Movies Ever: Stand By Me; the Blueberry Pie Eating Contest scene.

Priceless! (and that was in 1986)

Second behind this problem is the men smelling baby poop ads. Obviously they never have changed diapers or been around when someone else does.

I have seen that on Family Guy. That's the only time I ever saw it on tv.

I haven't noticed it as a trend...but I agree, not a pleasant sight.

I've been seeing an ad running for some tv show that briefly shows someone sitting on the john with their pants down past their knees. Next time I see it if this thread is still getting posts I'll come back and name the show. Haven't paid enough attention to know what it is but have seen the ad more than once the past week.

And don't forget that Scarlett O'Hara does it in Gone With the Wind, but it is mostly retching.

The super bowl commercial that showed people drinking big clumps of curdled milk almost made me gag. What were they thinking?

Recent movies seem to have a going to the bathroom scene, woman urinating with door open, someone wiping themselves. TMI

I agree, glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I guess now, I've seen everything. I turn away or shut my eyes a the slightest chance someone in a show is going to do that.

Even worse to me, is the tobacco spitters, geez, barf city.

There’s a bathroom scene in Dumb and Dumber.

I don’t get it.

Reality TV, I suppose.

It's just not on TV. People pass gas in public, burp loudly with their mouth open and blow their nose at the table.

We have become a nation with poor manners. Of course, I have seen the same and worse abroad.

WHAT television shows do you watch????

WHO do you subscribe to on social media????

I have never once seen this.

And I’m V.E.R.Y active on social media.

Bottom line....it’s the company you keep.

I don’t subscribe to creepy sites and don’t watch single digit TV,

so....non issue.

@sidsmom. I haven’t seen it either, although I did see Scarlett O’Hara as another poster mentioned. Didn’t really find that distasteful.

Even Big Bang Theory has had vomit scenes, or at least implied vomit scenes with just the sounds. I don't get it either, but in movies I think it began with the Exorcist. I have had a lifelong phobia of vomiting or seeing someone else vomit. I have done anything and everything to avoid it myself, and as a teacher, I had close calls with kids, but thankfully didn't ever have anyone throw up in my class. Lord knows what I would have done if that had happened. Fortunately, I taught high school freshmen, and they were old enough not to want to be embarrassed by doing that in front of their peers. I always gave them the vomit talk the first day of school. I said, if you feel ill, do NOT wait to get my attention with your hand raised, just run to the bathroom. I'll ask questions later.

Saw it on The Resident, a medical show. Gross, but not inappropriate considering the subject matter.
