Cackling wife finds hilariously cruel way to trigger husband's gag reflex

Aah, the exquisite joy of playfully taunting your significant other.

New York state woman Darcy Cimarello really got stuck into her husband Peter after he returned from the shops looking "white as a sheet," according to her description on YouTube.

When pressed to explain his shock, Peter revealed that he'd encountered two exceptionally smelly women at the store. And not just a slight pong: the duo's stench was so strong even thinking about it made Peter dry-retch.

Sensing an opportunity to pick on him, Darcy grilled him for more and more details about the malodorous ladies — making him gag over and over.

"Was it just body odour ... like they hadn't had a bath in a month?" she asks with a delighted cackle. "Was it a farm smell? ... Was it a menstrual smell?"

Every twist of her knife makes Peter come close to spewing, and watching it is kind of gross (because it'll make you want to retch too), but mostly hilarious (because Darcy is so, so amused with herself).

Despite coming close to vomiting as he finally describes the women's stench as "s--t and piss", even Peter is laughing as he tells the story. Because sometimes there is something just plain funny about smelling something really, appallingly, oh-god-how-is-this-even-possible bad.

Darcy originally posted the video to YouTube in February 2016, and by April it had been viewed more than 300,000 times. That number has now exploded to more than 1 million after her hilarious footage went viral.
