Well…that’s just it, Priceguy…cinemas need to offer jugged hare with a sauce rich with truffles, anchovies, Grand Marnier, bacon, and cream…followed by an appetiser of a moules marinières, pâté de foie gras, beluga caviar, eggs Benedictine, tart de poireaux-- that’s leek tart,-- frogs’ legs amandine, or oeufs de caille Richard Shepherd-- c’est à dire, little quails’ eggs on a bed of puréed mushroom. It’s very delicate. Very subtle…mixed together in a bucket, of course, with the eggs on top…and don’t skimp on the pate!
For beverages, six bottles of Château Latour Forty-five… a double Jeroboam of champagne…and six crates of brown ale…
And it goes without saying, then and only then, the piece de resistence, the wafer thin mint…
Scientific data is not collected by cutting corners, you know…
I wet myself laughing when I saw it, a few years later when it came on TV I insisted a pal watch it because it was so fecking funny. Next time she saw me she was going to beat me senseless, she spent ages with her head down the toilet puking, and not just at Mr Cresote. I thought she was having me on, till one night we were watching a TV show featuring foreign adverts and one ad was supposedly someone eating a dog, I laughed, pal leapt to her feet, left all the doors open and I could hear her “shouting for Hugh” for several minutes …
Oh, come on. It’s so over the top that you can’t possibly be grossed out by it. It’s hilarious, but if this makes you puke, then you just have led a sheltered life, I guess.
Living in student dorms for 6 years, I saw things far more disgusting than that scene on an almost daily basis.
Lobelia Overhill to the rescue! One documented Creosote-induced puking.
Not to be snippy or anything, but you’re kind of in a minority here. If this thread doesn’t convince you, just trust me. It’s not that I puke when I watch it, but it does gross me out.
I was going to post “Do I want to know?” but realised I knew the answer: No.
Not sure how “sheltered” a life my pal led, but she was terribly touchy about certain things, you couldn’t mention bodily fundtions/parts in front of her - if you used the correct terminology for them, call them by whatever slang words you prefered and that was fine. (She was also the person I got the expression “stop *ucking swearing!” from. Seriously, she was complaing about the *ucking kids out on the *ucking street, *ucking swearing in front of her *ucking child - because her child was now swearing. I dunno how I kept a straight face), it’s not like she was some aged virgin who never left the house …
Glad to be of service Priceguy (I knew I’d come in handy for something - they’ll be selling me on TV next!)
Oh, I do trust you, and I do believe all those stories here.
It’s just that I don’t think I’m in the minority. Think about it. Look at the thread title, and the OP. You’re asking for anecdotes of people throwing up. What you got, is a lot of people saying they nearly threw up.
And a couple of people who say the scene is hilarious rather than disgusting, myself included. I’m not going to count the posts, but I think the “I almost hurled” posts are indeed in the majority.
Still, a lot of people are not going to post to say “No”, whilst a lot of people who were grossed out by it, will respond to such an OP. See what I’m getting at?
Ah, well. It’s hardly a matter of life and death, of course.
I was home sick from work last week and rented The Meaning of Life. I had always remembered it as being the worst Python movie, but I fucking loved it this time around! (Of course, that could have been the codine cough medicine talking…) Mr. Creosote was actually one of the weaker sketches, IMHO. “Every Sperm is Sacred” is unmitigated genuis, and John Cleese as Death was much funnier than I remembered.
I watched it a second time with the commentary, and Terry Gilliam said of the Mr. Creosote scene “I’m proud to have been partially responsible for bringing that into the world.”
The second or third time watching that movie, I made the mistake of eating pizza… the answer to the OP is no, but damn close. I had to close my eyes for a bit, and I have a pretty strong stomach.
Coldfire said, "That made you nearly puke? Then don’t rent TMOL. "
I get that pukey feeling watching Fear Factor. I even got a little naused seeing Ann-Margret in all those baked beans. I never actually puke, but I get grossed out by stuff like that. But I still keep looking at it. Sick, ain’t it?
I was laughing too hard at that scene in TMOL to consider gagging, but it really is pukeworthy.
What almost did it for me was the astronaut in Apollo 13 spewing in zero G. I wasn’t expecting it, and I actually had a few moments of dry heaves as a result.
