Summary
Francine and the others are having fun teasing George about his nose bleeding, but suddenly Francine pukes in front of the entire school!
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.
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, 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 with Francine and George comes and sits with them with his nose bleeding. The 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.
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
- 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. However, the episode "D.W., the Picky Eater" shows barf on the screen.
- The surgical masks from the dream are worn by the kids again (after "My Dad, the Garbage Man") in Francine's dream sequence.
- A lot of the older fans from different websites have theorised that Francine is an "Anxious Puker" the facts we see are she realises what she was saying about George is wrong although she doesn't state it, When she's about to throw up you can see it on her face that she feels bad. She keeps worrying about what others think of her throwing up after she heard what Catherine said about there always being someone who throws up in every class. She even has a dream of her concern of what will happen the next day at class. She keeps worrying up until the end of the episode where she stands up for George. Another piece of evidence is when she's in the bathroom she doesn't throw up the just tells herself that she's ok, which may mean she's trying to calm herself down although this isn't stated by the creators and we only see her vomit and feel nauseous in one episode this theory is up for interpretation.
- Mr. Morris can be seen in the cafeteria.
- Food poisoning would be a disgusting guess for Francine, since the consequences of food poisoning would cause the person to have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; yet Miss Flynn states that Francine wouldn't be able to move if she had food poisoning.
- This is one of the two episodes of Arthur to show blood. The other is "Arthur's Knee".
- Despite the title of the episode, Muffy does not say "vomitrocious" in this episode.
Episode Connections
- In the episode "Buster's Breathless", it already taught the viewers not to treat someone different when they're suffering from a medical condition.
- Francine must have decided that making fun of people was okay again, even though she learned not to in "Draw!" and "Citizen Frensky".
- The word barf was originally used in "D.W.'s Imaginary Friend".
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.
- When Francine said she didn't feel "nauseous" at the end, she actually meant she didn't feel "nauseated".
- 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.
