favorite vomit sound effect?

nickmarino · 03-01-2011, 11:47 AM

I'm about to do a vomit scene in my webcomic and I'm having a hard time deciding how I want to spell it out. There are sooooo many choices but none of them seem like the right fit! What's your favorite way to do vomit sfx?

Something like Blegh or Bleegggh is what I normally go with.

Depends on the size/duration.

Small - Bloorrp
Medium - Blorrttch
Large - Blaaarrgghh

hahaha NICE! i dig that one. the more i think about it, though, the more i'm learning towards an exaggerated BARF, maybe "BAAAARRRRFFFFF!!!"

I always use "HURK".

It's an old joke I have w/ some friends. Ever since we used to draw comics in high school we've always used "HURK".

Inside joke. Makes them chuckle when they read it in a comic I've lettered.

HURK is nice... but, see, now that I know it's your inside joke, I can never use it. EVER.

my friend just suggested HWORK and BLOURK. i'm partially to the latter.

Gonzogoose · 03-01-2011, 04:06 PM

I've used HURK before too, but not for vomiting. I used it once when a guy's throat was slit and that's the only sound he could make.

I guess that's close.

An exaggerated BARF could work too. Sometimes literal works.

i like literal when it's a gross word or an unexpected situation. for example, i think "CRASH" is kinda boring, but "SLURP" is good.

I used poof! for the spitting sound coming out of the mouth and splat! when it hit the ground.

stagger it, and let it follow the path of the vomit

it's fascinating, what we choose to talk about around here
