'''ACTING''' with '''EMPHASIS'''. Nearly any emotion will do here, so long as it's '''EXTREME!'''

A common term for a scene where an actor is acting so damn hard that they're picking bits of scenery out of their teeth for days. Actors who really go "all out" are said to [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chew_the_scenery chew the scenery]. Sometimes scenes can actually require this, but more often the actor and/or director just has the character go [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome|over the top]].

It's well worth noting that this trope is [[Fountain of Memes|one of the biggest causes of memes]].

While this can often be a bad thing and ruin a scene, just as often it can add to the fun, whether a work is [[So Bad ~~Its~~ Good]] or genuinely good. In a [[Police Procedural]], this will often be due to a [[Perp Sweating]] or an [[Exasperated Perp]].

** 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 ~~Its~~ Not Awesome|being about a custom-made sling]].

* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Minori]] in ''[[Toradora (Light Novel)|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.

Line 157:

* Grendel in 2007's ''[[Beowulf (Film)|Beowulf]]'', perpetually shrieking and moaning and having difficulty walking.

** "They SAY... you have a MONSTAH here? They SAY... your land is cursed! My name is [[Say My Name|Beowulf]]. I am here to kill your MONSTAH!"

** '''"[[Evil Overlord|POWWWWWWAAAAAHHHH!!!!]] [[Drunk On the Dark Side|UNNNNN-LIMITED..POWWWWWWAAAAAAHHHH!!!!]] "''' Playing bumper cars with the Galactic Senate boxes while [[Evil Laugh|cackling like a loon]] has to count, too.

** Many of Anakin's lines in ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'' are either this, garbage, or just plain normal, depending on your point of view. But a special mention goes to his confession on Tatooine:

*** I... I killed them. I ''killed'' them ''all''. They're dead. ''Every single one of them''. And not just the men, but the ''women'', and the ''children'', too. They're like animals, and I ''slaughtered'' them like animals! '''I ''hate'' them!'''

Line 267:

* ''[[Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (Film)|Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]]'' had [[Gene Wilder]] as Willy Wonka:

Line 275:

* '''''<big>[[Evil Alien Conquerors|IT WOULD TAKE A THOUSAND OF YOUR TINY MEALS TO SLAKE MY GIGANTIC APPETITE!!!]]</big>'''''

* Just about ANY [[Villain Song]] in a musical. Audrey however, gets special notice for one song. That song? "Feed Me." of course! "Mean Green Mother" might also count.

* While you were still learning to '''''<big>[[Battlefield Earth (Film)|SPELL YOUR NAME]]</big>''''', ''[[John Travolta|TERL]]'', was being '''''TRAINED''''', to '''''<big>[[Ham and Cheese|CHEW THE SCENERY!!]]</big>''''' (Seriously though, [[How Did We Miss This One]]?)

* Just about anything with Jack Palance in it. Hell, if [[Tim Burton]]'s impersonation of the man on [[Batman (Film)|Batman's commentary track]] is any indication, the man chewed as much scenery in real life as he did on celluloid!

Line 298:

* 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 ~~Shakespeares~~ Romeo ~~and~~ Juliet (Film)|William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet]]'', main offenders Harold Perrineau and [[Leonardo Di Caprio]]. [[Narm/Film|This makes Mercutio's death unintentionally hilarious.]]

* Robert Mitchum as the crazy industrialist in ''[[Deadman (Film)|Deadman]]''. He spends most of his time ''"talkin' to a goddamn bear"'' or hiding behind his desk, shotgun in hand.

* 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| '''Skeletor:''' Now. I, Skeletor, am [[Title Drop|Master of the Universe]]! YES! Yes... I feel it, the power... fills me. ''YES'', I feel the universe within me! I am...

He consumes more scenery than unicorn blood. All of Voldemort's portrayers have their moments, but Ralph Fiennes especially.

** '''''TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!!!'''''

* ''[[Ever After (Film)|Ever After]]'': Everyone is occasionally (probably consciously, due to the quick changes between humor and seriousness) guilty of this, child!Danielle in particular.

Line 410:

* '''''[[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 ''[[~~Thirty~~ Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]''. And Tracy Morgan in real life. Seriously, just watch any of his interviews on ''[[The Daily Show]]''.

* Tracy Jordan in ''[[30 Rock (TV)|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.

* 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.

* John Crichton of ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'' tends to do this whenever he goes undercover.

Line 455:

* Much metal has a tendency towards the hammy. For example, [[Judas Priest (Music)|Judas Priest]]: "[[Metal Scream|HE! IS! THE! PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINKILLLLLER!]] [[Punctuated for Emphasis|THIS! IS!]] '''''[[Punctuated for Emphasis|THE!]]''''' [[Punctuated for Emphasis|PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINKILLLLLER!]]"

* [[Dio]]'s vocal style popularized much of this in metal, with younger [[Power Metal]] bands taking it to its logical extreme (minus his sheer energy).

* [[Disturbed (Music)|David Draiman]]: the only "acting" he's ever done in a video was a [[Big No]]. His voice is the kind that can somehow make "WE BEGIN THE HUNT TONIGHT! FEEL THE POWER COURSE AS THE CREATURES TAKE FLIGHT!!" sound cool. He also loves to fill songs with [[Evil Laughter]]. If anyone else did this, it would be [[~~So Bad Its Good|~~So Bad It's Good]]. With him, he really can convince you that he's an indestructible master of war.

* After the video for [[Ballad of X|The Ballad]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOgpdp3lP8M&feature=branded of Mona Lisa], [[Panic At the Disco|Brendon Urie]] must've been picking scenery out of his teeth ''for weeks.''

Line 464:

* ''[[Exalted]]'', being a game designed to let players be over the top in all they do, your character is allowed to live this trope. There's even a mention of player characters getting a dying monologue, no matter how they die.

** Dragon Blooded, almost literally, chew the scenery when they use a lot of 'mana', in which their anima banners start doing damage to everything within a few yards. Accordingly, they tend to furnish their homes with sculpture and heavy stone furniture, so they don't have to buy a new couch every time someone gets pissed off.

** In the source book for the Infernal Exalted, the Storytelling chapter has a section on how to use them as [[Card Carrying Villain|Card Carrying Villains]] (their original intent) entitled "This Scenery Looks Delicious." In fact, at one point in the book it's explained how the player of a 'Green Sun Prince' can even receive mechanical benefits from [[Monologuing|dramatic monologuing]] under the right circumstances.

* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'''s Orks. Especially their leaders. And, to a varying extent, everyone else on the battlefield. (See ''[[Dawn of War]]'' for the [[Canon]] voice acting.)

Line 509:

* Practically all of ''[[Castlevania Symphony of the Night]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMTizJemHO8 Most known for this one]. The dialogue was completely redone in the PSP port included in the Rondo of Blood remake, [[Narm Charm|for better or for worse]].

* Sergeant Reznov from ''[[Call of Duty]]: World at War'' must have gotten really hungry after the events of the level "Vendetta", because starting with ''"Their Land, Their Blood"'', he can't stop yelling at his men to keep killing Germans wherever they find them. Commissar Markhov, however, manages to outeat even him, as his [[No Indoor Voice|lack of volume control for his voice]], coupled with the fact that half his lines are spoken from ''a megaphone,'' ensure that he can be heard all the way over in Berlin.

** Reznov's scenery-chewing is easily justifiable, given that he's [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Voice|voiced by]] [[Gary Oldman]].

** In ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', {{spoiler|even his past self is thrown off by his scenery chewing tendencies.}}

** Unusually, Mr. Mackey in "Royal Pudding".

{{quote| '''Mr. Mackey''': ''(to [[No Respect Guy|Kyle]], taking over Ike's role as Tooth Decay)'' You call rolling your fat ass out on the stage and lazily blurting out your lines like a turtle takin' a [[Precision F Strike|shit]], '''YOU CALL THAT TRYIN'?!'''}}

* ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'' Seriously, is there a single character who isn't Hammy to the extreme?

Line 644:

{{quote| '''Robotnik''': Why is my precious rocket ship drifting off into deep space?! Why am I reaching you at the coordinates of the abandoned space station?! WHY?! WHY?! WHHYYY?!}}

** 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.

** Kathleen Barr does it too. The relevant equation is Trixie + Stage = '''VOLUME'''.

** Though, contrary to public belief, he wasn't [[Beam Me Up Scotty|saying he would bury the US.]] The speech Krushchev was giving was not threatening to destroy the US, but that [[Hilarious in Hindsight|communism would outlast capitalism, so the USSR would see the old ways die.]] As in "you will dig your own grave and we'll be the ones to attend your funeral", not ''cause it''.
