Medgadget came across a video of Ascaris in the GI tract by the NEJM. I though of searching youtube for some more. Note the metal crocodile like thing getting this monster out.

Bonus Video: Trichuris Trichiura (Whipworm):

yes, a single dose of a drug called Mebendazole kills it. The scene of dead worms execrated is far worse than this video.
