A short puking and retching sound effect that mimics someone throwing up, used in funny videos and memes to gross out viewers or react to disgusting moments.
This is a brief, cartoonish puking sound that packs a gagging retch and a wet splatter into less than two seconds. It starts with a strained heave, almost like a cough that turns into a vomit, then lands on a messy, sloppy noise that is instantly recognisable even without any visuals. Played on its own it is gross in a funny, exaggerated way rather than realistic or disturbing, which is why it works as a punchline. It makes listeners wince, laugh, or both at once, and it instantly signals disgust, nausea, or a joke that has gone too far.
Short vomiting sounds like this one have long been a staple of comedy soundboards, where a single gross noise can sell a joke without any dialogue. Online, creators reuse clips like Pukey in reaction videos, prank edits, gaming streams and short-form memes whenever something looks, tastes or feels revolting. Its appeal is simple and universal: almost everyone recognises the retch instantly, so it needs no explanation. Because it is under two seconds long, it slots easily into fast edits and keeps working as a quick, repeatable gag for disgust.
