The phrase was made famous in Frank Zappa's song "Valley Girl" with his daughter, Moon Unit saying it and other Valspeak. It means gross, disgusting. Square Pegs tv show totally captured the Valley Girl slang at the time.
I lived through the 80s and I used the phrase
Some other Valspeak:
As if – lit. ‘as if’ except it does not use a subject; expresses disgust
Whatever!- short for ‘whatever you say’; sarcastic comeback
Barf me out! - ‘So disgusting it makes me want to vomit’
Fer shur – lit. ‘For sure’
Totally – ‘I agree’ or ‘completely’
Gag me with a spoon! - ‘you are so disgusting that you make me want to vomit’
Tubular –Something so amazing, it should be on television (tube = tv); or, excellent, perfect, as in a (surfable) wave which forms a tube
Grody to the max! – ‘As gross as he/she/it can be’
Oh no you didn’t! - ‘Don’t even try’
Like, oh my God – can be used many ways; expresses shock
Bitchen – ‘Awesome’
I’m suuure! – ‘I'm absolutely positive’
Tripendicular! - It can either mean 'awesome' or a drug high.
Totally Radical, Dude! – ‘That is incredible, man’
You are totally sluggin'! – ‘You are really cool’

1. gag me with a spoon
Exclamation that describes displeasure on the part of the speaker due to something being distasteful or otherwise sickening or displeasurable. From valspeak, so somewhat archaic. Usage these days is considered silly.
Oh, gag me with a spoon! Look at the zits all over that nerd's face!

All the others have the right idea about the meaning, but it was "Well just gag me with a spoon, man".

"Gag me with a spoon"... I'd rather be gagged with a spoon than opposed to my finger. Totally disgusting, never in a million, or not ever! something one could defiantly do without.

It means the thing is gross, repulsive, and makes you want to puke.
The term was used by valley girl type people (or supposedly) who were so consious about their looks they would gag themselves with a spoon after eating so that they would throw up their food so they wouldn't gain weight.

Its Valley Girl slang, I believe it means "the very thought of it makes me want to throw up".
