[[Francine Frensky|Francine]] and the others are having fun teasing [[George Lundgren|George]] about his nose bleeding, but suddenly Francine vomits in front of the whole [[Lakewood Elementary School|school]], much to her embarrassment. Her friends try to make her feel better, but she thinks they are making fun of her, so she ignores them. Later in the episode she discusses her embarrassment with George, and George tells her that her friends are not making fun of her, and then they show up and start teasing George, and she defends him, leading to them being nice to George after that.

==Plot==
The episode starts off with Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Sue Ellen during lunch time talking about disgusting things as Francine doesn't like Buster's lunch. Francine brings up George, who just then walks by with his nose bleeding, asking for a tissue. Francine starts making fun of him and everyone laughs, too. Suddenly, Francine starts to make a strange face and then she throws up in front of the entire cafeteria. She is shocked that something like this would happen to her and she thinks her friends will think she's disgusting like George. At the nurse's office, the nurse tells her it is probably a 24-hour bug. At home, Catherine tells her that there is a "barf kid" in every class and that she wouldn't be surprised if they gave her a nickname, and so she proceeds to pick on Francine, claiming that she's giving her "sisterly advice".

That night, Francine has a dream. She dreams that Muffy and the rest of her class voted her as the most disgusting person of the year, and that they had given her a nickname, "Barfine". Then, she dreams that Mr. Ratburn puts her in a quarantine room with George. She wakes up, only to find that it's time for school. At school, Mrs. Frensky drops off Francine and informs her to call her for a ride home if she's not feeling well. Then, Muffy, Buster, and Arthur come to ask her how she is, but she thinks they're setting her up to laugh at her. In class, Francine sees everyone whispering and assumes that it's about her. Buster comes over to her desk and drops a brown paper bag on it. Francine, thinking it's a barf bag, throws it back at him, ending the scene with her stomach gurgling.

At lunch, the girls are sitting together and George comes and sits with them with his nose bleeding. The other girls scoot towards Francine. Francine pretends to start puking and they scoot towards George. This "proves her theory" that they think she's disgusting. She goes home, and Catherine asks how her day was and if anyone called her "Barfine", surprising her as that was the nickname in the dream. She then makes fun of Francine for the second time by calling her another, similar nickname "Pukine", and then Francine goes into their bedroom and sits down on the computer chair and melts down into tears.

Francine goes over to George's house and asks him if he wants to get a milkshake with her. George goes reluctantly because he's afraid of being made fun of. She asks him how he can take being laughed at, and he says they don't laugh at her because she's popular. Francine doesn't think this is fair; just as the rest of her friends walk through the door, Francine feels like puking. However, she accidentally hits George on the way to the bathroom, giving him a bloody nose; Muffy, Prunella, and others start laughing at him.

Francine comes out of the bathroom and tells them that they shouldn’t make fun of George because they’re now both disgusting, and calls her friends out on their hypocrisy in laughing at him while doting on her. Francine storms out in disgust, as her friends are left in awe of what she just did. They start handing George tissues and begin treating him with more respect.
 
The episode ends with Francine riding her bike, and stopping to note that she doesn't feel nauseous anymore.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When Francine throws up, the barf is not entirely seen, although there is a little bit of it, and is heard splashing on the floor.
*40301 - [[Buster's Breathless]] already taught us not to treat someone like a freak when they're suffering from a medical condition -- and Francine must have decided making fun of people was okay again, even though she learned not to in [[Draw!]] and [[Citizen Frensky]].
*The surgical masks from the dream are worn by the kids again (after "[[My Dad, the Garbage Man]]") in Francine's dream sequence.
*When Francine throws up, the barf is not seen but heard splashing on the floor. But in [[D.W., the Picky Eater]] it is.
*Mr. Morris can be seen in the cafeteria.
*You'd think a teacher would have noticed everyone making fun of George and stepped in. Or not.
*Food poisoning would have likely been the last thing Francine should have been "diagnosed" with, since the consequences of food poisoning would cause the person to have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea and Francine only had the first two; yet Miss Flynn states that Francine wouldn't be able to move if she had food poisoning, which is a hyperbole.
*This is the only episode that [[Wally]] does not appear with George.
*This is one of the two episodes of {{Arthur}} to show blood. The other is "[[Arthur's Knee]]."
*The surgical masks are worn by the kids again (after My Dad, the Garbage Man) in Francine's dream sequence.
*Despite the title of the episode, [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] does not say "vomitrocious" in this episode.
*Mr. Morris was seen as a cameo in the cafeteria.
*This is the first episode where Evan Smirnow voices George.
*Food poisoning would be a disgusting guess for Francine, since the consequences of food poisoning would cause the person to vomit and defecate simultaneously; yet Miss Flynn states that Francine would barely be able to move if she had food poisoning.
*This is the first episode to feature Alexina Cowan as Catherine.
*This was the forth episode to be rated TV-Y7 for George's nose bleeding scene.
*'''Moral:''' Don't overreact for your own benefits.
===Goofs===
*'''Running Gag:'''
**Francine pukes a few times in the episode.
**Everytime Francine is about to puke, strange music ensues.
**Everytime Francine is about to puke she says "Excuse me!" and runs to the bathroom.
===Errors===
*When George has his first nosebleed, his blood is the same color as his shirt, instead of red.
*In the first shot of the kids looking through the nurse window, Brain's inside shirt was brown. Then in the next shot the inside shirt was back to normal.
*In the first shot of the kids looking through the nurse window, Brain's inside shirt was brown. Then in the next shot the inside shirt was back to normal.
*In one shot while in the nurse's office, Francine is seen wearing purple socks, but in the next shot she is wearing pink socks.
