* The whole point of the ''[[Giant Robo]]'' Anime and its main [[Charm Point]] is providing every single character with one of these on a regular basis. There's not a single person in the final episode who can be accused of underacting, even the random [[Red Shirt|redshirts]].
* Gaara's [[Minor Injury Overreaction]] in ''[[Naruto]]'' in both Japanese and English:

** {{spoiler|Itachi's}} [[Motive Rant]] from episode 136 of ''Shippuden''. If you pay attention, you could hear his seiyuu literally GASPING for breath between lines!

Line 85:
* '''''[[Ensemble Darkhorse|TAKE THIS!]] [[Memetic Mutation|THE]] [[Mismatched Eyes|STORM]] [[Crispin Freeman|OF]] [[Memetic Badass|MY]] [[Code Geass|LOYALTY!!!]]'''''

*** ''[[Code Geass]] R2'' [http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=57830334 episode 19] has Lelouch chewing off scenery (1:06-1:13, 3:54-4:14) while [[Villainous Breakdown|breaking down]].
**** 5:07-5:40 however, [[Narm Charm|the drama still works]].

** Chopper pulls a nice one in episode 162 after the [http://whistle-down-the-wind.tumblr.com/post/21984737457/gan-fall-sora-no-kishi-vs-shura-one-piece Knight of the Sky shoots Shura off of his mount] using an Impact Dial.

** In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5C4WXzRYnI this scene], Luffy, Spandam, Sogeking, Franky and even [[The Stoic|Robin]] tried to out-chew each other. Sogeking takes bonus points for his boast [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|being about a custom-made sling]].
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Minori]] in ''[[Toradora!]]'', especially near the end of the series. Although sometimes she's just overdramatic just for fun... diet warriors, indeed. The homeroom teacher also really chews the scenery during the Pro Wrestling event and has to be carried off.
{{quote|
* In ''[[NieA 7|Niea Under 7]]'', [[Tomoko Kawakami]] is clearly having the time of her life voicing [[Anime Chinese Girl|Karna]], tearing through every scene in which she occurs with almost limitless abandon--but ''especially'' during the "alien awareness meetings".
{{quote|
* [[Sayaka Ohara|Sayaka Ohara's]] role as Beatrice in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_1QuqO4dRo My god, she really was having a blast at that role.]
** "Let's start chewing scenery together, USHIROMIYA BATTORAAAAAAAA!!"'
Line 118:
* The evil sultan in the classic ''[[Astro Boy (manga)|Astro Boy]]'' story "The Greatest Robot In The World" not only chews scenery figuratively, but in one scene he does it literally.
* [[No Indoor Voice|Lord Djibril]] in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny]]'', as he prepares to fire the [[Wave Motion Gun|Requiem]].
{{quote|
** Speaking of ''Gundam'', we have [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Duo's]] infamous scream when his Gundam gets destroyed, which is so overblown that it reaches [[The Scream|into space]]. His English VA, Scott McNeil, said that the scream was a copy of the one he did when he saw his wife back over his motorcycle in the driveway.
* Roman Saotome from ''[[Sket Dance]]'' takes this to a whole nother level [[Art Shift|she warps the scenery]] via Otome Vision much to the shock of [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Himeko and Bossun]].
Line 133:
** In ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|Star Trek VI the Undiscovered Country]]'', Christopher Plummer as Klingon [[Big Bad|General Chang]] also does his best to out-ham Shatner. Especially in the climax, when he [[Shout-Out/To Shakespeare|endlessly quotes William Shakespeare]] at the top of his lungs.
*** [[Julius Caesar (theatre)|"CRY HAVOC! AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!"]]

* William Atherton as Walter Peck in ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' when he {{spoiler|demands the arrest of the Ghostbusters after forcibly shutting down the containment unit.}}
* Alternate Trope Namer via [[Memetic Mutation]]: The Monster Audrey 2 from ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'', whose [[Catch Phrase|signature phrase]] is ''"Feed'' Me, Seymour!" played by [[Boisterous Bruiser|deep-voiced]] and [[Magnificent Bastard|enthusiastic]] Levi Stubbs.
* ''[[Mortal Kombat (film)|Mortal Kombat]]'' has a handful, such as when Sonya gets captured by [[Big Bad|Shang Tsung]]:
{{quote|
* See also Christopher Plummer in ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|The Undiscovered Country]]''.
* Morpheus' speech to Zion in ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded'', although he had good reason to shout as the cave had no PA system.
Line 189:
* As ''Ebert's Bigger Movie Glossary'' notes, "no [[Nicolas Cage]] movie is complete without the scene in which Cage's character finally loses his temper and screams at the top of his lungs."
** ''[[The Wicker Man]]'' remake. All of it.

* Brian Cox in ''[[Troy]]'' certainly qualifies. Then again, Brian Cox in almost anything. That man is definitely [[Large Ham|not kosher]].
{{quote|
* John Noble chews the scenery while munching on everything remotely edible in ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Return of the King]]''. And he has [[I Take Offense to That Last One|atrocious table manners]].
* When Pink in ''[[Pink Floyd]] [[The Wall]]'' decides that he is a British fascist leader and sings "In the Flesh". Just watch as a rock star (Bob Geldof) playing a rock star (Roger Waters) during an insane fantasy of being a fascist dictator while in front of an audience of Pink's rock fans during a concert.
Line 220:
* The last two scenes of the second flashback in ''[[The Bad and The Beautiful]]'' got this from Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner respectively.
* The saving grace of ''[[Daredevil (film)|Daredevil]]'' was a delightfully over-the-top portrayal of [[Psycho for Hire|Bullseye]] by Colin Farrell. He barely speaks and rarely raises his voice, but his snarling, twitching, and whispered ramblings chew the scenery in a big way. He kills people with pencils, peanuts, and paper clips in scenes that [[Crosses the Line Twice|cross the line]] into [[Comedic Sociopathy]]. Just about every scene he's in is simultaneously hilarious and disturbing because of his overacting juxtaposed with the sadistic character.

* Or [[Antonio Banderas]] in ''Assassins''. He's quite hammy to begin with, but he chews the scenery in such a way that it gained the status of being the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]].
{{quote|
** Best bit is when he is sharpening his marksmanship skills by shooting fruit and he turns to an orange that he has beside him : "Ha Ha Ha! I just killed <big>YOUR BROTHER!</big>'

* [[Bill Murray]] actually [[Shout-Out|shouts out]] '''''"Feed'' me, [[Little Shop of Horrors|Seymour!]]"''' at the end of the movie ''[[Scrooged]]'' to encourage the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|theater audience]] to respond to his hilariously over-the-top [[Improv|ad-libbing]] throughout the film, most notably in the dinner sequence.
{{quote|
'''Waiter:''' Oh ''no'' sir, that's the Baked Alaska, sir, that's a dessert. }}
* ''[[The Addams Family]]'' was all about this; between [[Raul Julia]] and [[Christopher Lloyd]] there wasn't a set unchewed.
Line 295:
** And he does it pretty frequently in ''[[Hulk (film)|Hulk]]'' (2003), with the scene pictured above being his ultimate moment.
* ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'':
{{quote|
* Tom Hardy in ''Bronson'': almost the whole scene with the librarian. (Quicker, quicker, QUICKER, QUICKAH!, <big>QUICKAH!</big>, <big>FUCK OFF! SIT DOWN!</big> Awesome, believable and completely justified.
** Also the lip sync of 'When I'm a RAHCK AND ROWLLLLLLL STAAAAH!'
* The 1996 ''[[William Shakespeare's Romeo+Juliet|William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet]]'', main offenders Harold Perrineau and [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]. [[Narm/Film|This makes Mercutio's death unintentionally hilarious.]]
* Robert Mitchum as the crazy industrialist in ''[[Deadman]]''. He spends most of his time ''"talkin' to a goddamn bear"'' or hiding behind his desk, shotgun in hand.
{{quote|
* Sure, the ''Masters of the Universe'' movie was pretty bad, but Frank Langella as Skeletor sure did chew himself some scenery, especially in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOsHoqhbUIU this scene].
{{quote|
* ''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula|Bram Stokers Dracula]]'' has [[Keanu Reeves]] in [[Dull Surprise|his usual mode]]... but this is redeemed by [[Anthony Hopkins]] as Doctor van Helsing, particularly when he actually roars "Feed me!" for an [[Hilarious in Hindsight|unintentional]] [[Playing with a Trope|invoked trope]].
* Willem Dafoe in ''[[The Boondock Saints]]'':
Line 312:
* Crispin Glover in River's Edge, I know he was suppose to be a cokehead but Glover played him too much like the dark side of George Mcfly complete with stuttering threats and nervous chatter. I know he got high praise for the role, but I couldn't help but think he wasn't just Chewing the scenery so much that the character rose laughs out of me instead of fear or intimidation.
* Reb Brown in almost anything he does, compelete with over the top yelling at the top of your lungs acting style like most 80s action stars, his highlight though would be Space Mutiny with lines such as
{{quote|
"LEEEEAAA WAAATTTCCHHH OOUUUUTTTT!"
"AHHHHAAAHAAAAAA"
"C'mon MOOOVVEEE, MOOOVVEEE,MOOVVVEEE, MOOOVVVVEEE,MOOOVVVEEE!"

* And in another movie called Strike Commando after a little kid dies he screams the villians name like this
{{quote|
* That Tom Riddle fellow in the ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' Films. In [[Punctuated for Emphasis|every]]. [[Emphasize Everything|Single]]. [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|Scene]]. He consumes more scenery than unicorn blood. All of Voldemort's portrayers have their moments, but Ralph Fiennes especially. He even has videos dedicated to the anticipation of his most hammiest of moments on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyYo7xv4wlw&feature=related Youtube].
** '''''TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!!!'''''
Line 338:
*** Loki's extensive chewing is to be expected, though, seeing as his father Odin (played by [[Anthony Hopkins]]) does some extreme chewing of his own.

** The [[Christopher Eccleston|Ninth Doctor's]] rant about the end of the Time War to the Dalek in "Dalek".
{{quote|
** [[Mad Scientist|Davros]] ''defines'' this trope. "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E13 Journeys End|THE DESTRUCTION! OF REALITY! ITSELF!!!]]"
*** And the Seventh Doctor mocks him for [[It/lampshade|lampshades]] this in ''Remembrance of the Daleks''.
Line 387:
* Lionel Tribbey ("LEO!") and Lord John Marbury ("GERALD!") on ''[[The West Wing]]''.
* You might want to sit down for this one: Lowly Ensign David Bailey manages to pull off an ''epic'' [[Heroic BSOD]] in the [[Star Trek: The Original Series|TOS]] episode "[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Corbomite_Maneuver_%28episode%29 The Corbomite Maneuver]". After staring death in the face for the majority of the episode (complete with Countdown [[Of Doom]]), he has a [[Narm|memorable]] [[Freak-Out]] scene:
{{quote|
** Ok, so here's the "are you sitting down" part -- ''William [[Large Ham|freaking]] Shatner'' was on set at the same time. ''And he looked like the subtle one.''
* Counselor Troi had some moments in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' premiere when she sensed the pain of an imprisoned alien. It doesn't quite come off, as [[Wil Wheaton]] notes in his [http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/01/09/star-trek-the-next-generation-encounter-at-farpoint-part-ii/ recap]:
{{quote|
* ''[[Kenan and Kel]]'':
{{quote|
* Playing ''[[The Thick of It]]'''s resident [[Magnificent Bastard]], Malcolm Tucker, requires Peter Capaldi to act ''so damn hard'' his temple veins start throbbing. He says he finds the role "exhausting" and [[Enforced Method Acting|it shows]].
{{quote|
* Andy in ''[[Weeds]]'', after Nancy drops his banana bread in the season premiere of season 5: "My beautiful loaf. '''''YOU RUIN EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH!'''''"
* In ''[[Lost]]'', sometimes Matthew Fox not only overacts, but also pulls the weirdest facial expressions possible, the so-called "[http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jackface Jackfaces]" ([http://lostpedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Jackface&oldid=646805#Gallery fine gallery of examples]).
Line 405:
** Shinken Gold is even hammier than Shinken Blue, and that's saying something.
*** Played up even further in the ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' / ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'' [[Crossover]] episodes. His facial expressions must be seen to believed--you can see his entire capillary system popping out of his neck.
{{quote|
* John Hannah plays [[Magnificent Bastard]] Batiatus in ''[[Spartacus: Blood and Sand]]''. As just about the only recognizable actor in the series alongside Lucy Lawless, he hams it up to a ridiculous extent, particularly during his many [[Villainous Breakdown|Villainous Breakdowns]] or when he's boasting of his ludus' glory.
{{quote|
* '''''[[Kamen Rider Double|XTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME!!!!!!!!!!]]'''''
* In ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' there’s an episode where Justin casts a spell to [[Large Ham|ham it up]] and burst on stage saying "[[Lampshade Hanging|Do you mind if I chew a little scenery?]]"
* Tracy Jordan in ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]''. And Tracy Morgan in real life. Seriously, just watch any of his interviews on ''[[The Daily Show]]''.
* When shooting a scene during the first season of ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' where Benjamin Horne and his creepy brother interrupt the family dinner to devour Brie & butter sandwiches, the actor Richard Beymer who played Benjamin was repeatedly told by [[David Lynch]] to "really eat it." Each take they took Lynch would yell "cut" and tell him, "No, really ... ''eat'' it. Dig into it." After something like 20 takes or so with this sort of encouragement, Beymer finally realized just how ''insane'' his character was intended to be. The result is that Benjamin buries his whole face in the thing while moaning like a madman.
{{quote|
* Merle Dixon, in ''[[The Walking Dead (TV series)|The Walking Dead]]'', has this in spades.
** Shane appears to have taken over now that Merle's not around so much, but nearly everyone has their moment.
Line 423:
* Kim from ''[[Kath and Kim]]'' has a tendency to do this.
** The effect is doubled when she and [[Butt Monkey|Sharon]] get into an argument.
{{quote|
'''Kim:''' Marriat? MARRIAT?! You haven't even met Marriat, Sharon!
'''Sharon:''' TAKE THAT BACK! I am warning you Kim. If you say one more thing about Marriat, I swear ''I will kill you!'' Do you hear me? '''I WILL KILL YOU!''' }}
* Dennis Haysbert has a few memorable moments in ''[[The Unit]]''.
** Combined with "[[Punctuated for Emphasis]]" in Season 1 Episode 1: "Get off this plane! GET OFF THIS PLANE!! GET OFF!! THIS PLANE!!!"
* Kelsey Gammer was absolutely brilliant at this in ''[[Frasier]]'' — totally justified in that a defining trait of his character is being an overdramatic, pompous, [[Hot-Blooded]], arrogant, flamboyant [[Large Ham]].

* Eric on ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' did this more and more as he got crazier, such as yelling at a waitress for the check when trying to get out of a restaurant and a [[Big "What?"]] reaction after learning that Mr. Feeny is retiring. In season 7 when he became a full-on [[Cloudcuckoolander]] he did this almost every episode.
Line 477:

* Any scene featuring Nightmare in ''[[Soul Calibur]]''.
{{quote|
* Possibly in an incredibly strange homage to ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire]]'', normally nonham Senel from ''[[Tales of Legendia]]'' screams "STELLAAAAAAAAAAA" at one point in the game in a very over the top manner.
* Joneleth Irenicus, [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'', has less screentime than most [[Big Bad|Big Bads]], but damn does he make up for it.
Line 492:
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]''. The whole thing. Double points for any scene with Liquid Ocelot, who can blow things up by [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger|pointing at them dramatically]]. He Points. Bang.

** The Raccoon City Police Chief was another one: "But you're not leaving my town! Everyone's gonna DIE!"
** Wesker (or "''[[Say My Name|WESKERRRRR!!]]") has some of the most over-the-top villainous monologues ''ever.''
*** ''RE4'' wasn't so bad and never had anything over-the-top, but ''RE5'' and has Chris overacting every scene. Wesker's gem monologues are good, and become awesome when he throws his glasses at Chris so he can punch him whilst he's distracted!

* {{spoiler|The vampire Joker}} is like this constantly in ''[[The Batman vs. Dracula]]'', constantly screaming and moaning and even once said the titular line (right before eating a cockroach). Massive [[Nightmare Fuel]].
* [[Mark Hamill]]'s Fire Lord Ozai in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', particularly in the series finale War Room meeting. In fact, any of [[Mark Hamill]]'s villains could fit on this page, especially the Joker in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' Joker and Hobgoblin in ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]''.

* My ability of chewing the scenery must be the work of...'''[[The Fairly Odd Parents|FAIRY GOD PARENTS!]]'''
* ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' ''' SILENCE YOU IMPERIOUS ''MORON''!''' Oh, Doc Ock. You shift between this and a boderline [[Creepy Monotone]] so well it's almost scary. It should be noted this is [[Incoming Ham|his first line after officially becoming a villain.]]

* [[Lampshade Hanging|Notably lampshaded]] in an episode of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', where Cyborg gets a virus that messes with his programming. As a result, he ''literally'' starts eating the scenery...[[Hilarity Ensues|you can guess what happens]].
Line 632:
* ''[[South Park]]'': Some of the characters Trey plays can leave a hole in the scenery.

* Binky the Clown from ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' spends the whole time screaming, to the point where there were shorts called "SCREAMING WITH BINKY". The cartoon played this for laughs quite often; at one point he was temporarily given a job as a newscaster, where he kept his signature mannerisms.
** "HEY!!! I WANT MY PANTS BACK!!!!"

* Robotnik from ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' often overdoes his lines, like here.

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]:'' Rarity. Oh so very much.
** Also Luna, in "Luna Eclipsed", who combines [[Large Ham]] with [[No Indoor Voice]], [[Gale Force Sound]] ''and'' [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]] in one package. It probably helps that they're both voiced by Tabitha St. Germain.
Line 656:
** You wouldn't think [[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]] would ever chew the scenery, right? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwp60eYuie0 Wrong]! Of course, she's suffered [[Sanity Slippage]] leading up to this.
