About: Screaming At Squick   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A comedy trope where a character experiences something Squicky, and that character is so horrified by this, he/she lets out a bloodcurdling scream. It doesn't matter what the thing is, as long as it's clearly gross and disturbing to that character. Something like Bob drools over a decades-old picture of a hot, young woman, only to be told that's a picture of his grandmother. Happens pretty often in MS Ting. Sometimes the thing can even be Faux Horrific. Often this can overlap with The Scream, but for some reason this rarely overlaps with Screams Like a Little Girl. A Sub-Trope of Brain Bleach.
