The 13 Greatest Vomit Moments

One recent YouTube cult classic phenomenon are the ever-growing number of Ipecac pranks, where people will attempt to drink ipecac, a vomit-inducing syrup made for people who have ingested poison or dangerous drugs. Some of the videos feature people who were tricked into drinking it, other feature people who were paid to drink it, and still others showcase the brave daredevils who would do it for free, just to say that they did. In all cases, the result is hilarious as it is inevitable, when virtually everyone who tries drinking ipecac winds up bent over and losing their lunch. Here are 14 of the best, so you don't have to run around and hunt them down yourself!

1) This man was just walking down a city street minding his own business when he was bribed into drinking ipecac for $200 - which later became $500. While the many was originally skeptical, he did indeed down the vomit-inducing beverage and end up violently puking all over the street in front of everyone. Pretty gross!



2) While the man in the first video paid the price for drinking ipecac, he at least got his money's worth compared to the clown in this video, whose friends get him to drink $25 to drink four full bottles of the stuff - 8 times the recommended serving size! Looks like this sap should take some financial cues from the man in the first video!



3) This man was paid only $20 for guzzling ipecac, and had a full meal beforehand to boot! After eating a full course meal of cheddarwurst and salad, he fulfills his "Thursday Night Challenge" of drinking ipecac and ends up throwing it all up through his nose!



4) This man put his own unique twist on the ipecac prank by drinking it before going to a mall, visiting a cologne stand in one of the mall's busy hallways, and vomiting everywhere, only to claim that the horrible smells of the cologne is what caused him to do it. Looks like no one within a 100 foot radius of this prankster bought any cologne that day!



5) In this video, three brave souls step up to the plate after deeming themselves fit to handle the effects of ipecac on the human digestive system. Unfortunately, the results were as predictable as they were hilarious: chunks blown everywhere in sight!



6) From the "I was tricked into drinking this category" comes this video, where a man pours 4 times the recommended amount of ipecac into his roommate's drink and patiently waits for the inevitable after-effects to kick in. Sure enough, the roommate is hurling before long, screaming profanities, and on the phone with his roommate demanding an explanation. Hilarious!



7) These young British gentlemen play what they called "Ipecac Russian Roulette", whereby they fill up five mugs, one of which contains ipecac but no one knowing which mug it is. Before long, the unlucky stiff who got the ipecac mug is outed when he hunches over a bucket and empties the contents of his stomach to a fit of laughter in the background from his buddies.



8) In this video, a rather overweight man is made to drink ipecac by his friends for the sheer pleasure of watching what will happen afterwords. Within a minute or two, the portly daredevil is bent over and puking left and right. When it seems like he's in the clear, his friends instruct him to jump up and down, which only upsets his stomach even more!



9) Here, a bunch of friends pay one of their buddies to down an entire bottle of ipecac, by himself and in one sitting. When the deed has been done, the unfortunate friend finds himself hung over a balcony railing, puking his brains out to whatever (and whoever) happens to be underneath him. We sure hope no one had the misfortune of picking that moment to go for their morning stroll!



10) In this clip, a few rednecks decide that the best use of their time would be having one of their friends guzzle some ipecac and see how long it truly takes to start working. The verdict? 18 minutes after downing the entire bottle, the man who did the deed is seen paying the all-too-predictable price for his tom foolery!



11) In a video aptly titled "Ipecac Sucks", the guys in this video offer ample proof that it most certainly does! At 54 seconds in, the video freezes to slow motion, allowing a rare and disgusting glimpse at just how much vomit ipecac can induce in a person. See for yourself, but be warned: it's not for the faint of heart!



12) This video has a special significance, as it is the first recorded instance of Air Force Academy cadets using their precious time on an ipecac challenge! Watch and behold as a dorm full of hardened military members see if they have what it takes to withstand the challenge!



13) This video, entitled "ipecac mayhem", delivers the goods in grand fashion, as the man who drinks it finds himself vomiting on and off for a solid minute and a half. If this experience doesn't give him a reason to never ingest poisons or hard narcotics, nothing will!
