Is throwing up an overused tripe in today’s movies/tv shows?

Mutt,

I've never understood such phrases as ' I was so angry I could puke ', or some such.
And yes, I get that there's an extremely rare condition which some folks may do such , but honestly, I never remotely came close, knew anyone or saw anyone do that.
Tunnel vision, yeah, I grasp that reference. But other bodily functions ? Weird.
*Edit - As for it being over done in the movies, yeah, very over used. And it's been so for a long time.

Yeah, I really don't care.

Seriously, though, there was some point (probably longer ago than I now realize) where it seemed to become fashionable to "show" actual vomiting instead of just implying it. I do in fact believe that the trope of showing it has outlived its welcome.

10 years ago, taking diarrhea dumps was overused. After Dumb and Dumber did it in the 90s, everyone started it as a common joke.
Shite, this made her career.
Literally.

I don't think you meant tripe:
Though you may have meant it as tripe = garbage.
I think you meant trope but vomiting as you suggest it is used is more like a cliche.

As in every time a non-professional sees a dead body they need to vomit? Or how people always need to vomit every time they get shitfaced from 2 beers?
No, hadn't noticed at all

I never thought much of it until I started dating my wife. She hates hearing or seeing people vomit and has a fear of vomiting herself. Every tv show does it at least once or twice a season. I would say it happens in 50% of movies that have came out in the past 20 years. I never noticed it either until seeing my wife squeamish every time it happens.

I don't know, but it always aggravated me at how fake throwing up in shows and movies always looked. Like people would go "bluurrrgh" and then spit out a mouth full of something, and that was it. Man, when you throw up that shite flows out. It's not just a tiny amount in your mouth.
Surely there has to be some middle ground between that and the SNL vomit skit (Will Ferrell era, when they had the hoses in their sleeves) or Team America.
Two examples off the top of my head are both from The Office (Pam and Dwight):

Yes, but are you tired of that "edgy" already?
That's why the newest, latest in TV/cinematic "edginess" is now a chick being perched on the throne, dropping loud depth charges.
