    People are social barfers. If you make it too realistic, you end up with your audience gagging.

      That’s a really good point I never considered. If it’s played for laughs, you want people laughing. If it’s not, you want people grossed out, but not so much they need to mop up in theaters.

    dunno, i feel like half the humor of barf scenes is how utterly unrealistic they are.

    Just makes me think of the barf scene in ‘Stand by me’

      Are you thinking about the one in The Sandlot, where they swallow chew and go on a carnival ride?

        No, but that one is rough, too. Stand By Me has the story or the obese kid at the pie eating contest. That one can be forgiven for being over the top, because it was a campfire story being told by one of the kids. So of course it would be exaggerated.
