== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Gone Withwith the Wind]]'', Scarlet's Aunt "Pittypat" was prone to overreaction and fainting, to the point where people even snap at her to stop fainting.
* The eponymous ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]''.
* [[Jeeves and Wooster (Literaturenovel)|Bertie Wooster]], frequently. On being forced to sing at a "clean, bright entertainment":
{{quote| "I have been subjected to a nervous strain unparalleled since the days of the early Martyrs. I have lost pounds in weight and permanently injured my entire system. I have gone through an ordeal, the recollection of which will make me wake up screaming in the night for months to come ..."}}
* ''[[In Death]]'' series: ''Divided In Death'' has young Chloe McCoy, who is this trope, due to her lover Blair Bissel's death. {{spoiler|She gets murdered by Blair Bissel later, and he staged it to look like suicide}}.
Line 43:
 
== Manga And Anime ==
* Team Rocket from ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]''. Jessie is the most prominent one, but they all can be ridiculously dramatic at times. It's mostly the reason why they're so loved despite being so ineffective.
* Tamaki of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club (Manga)|Ouran High School Host Club]]'' will act extremely emotional if anything sets him off enough. This includes having to lie down on a comfy bed, when being told about how the Lobelia academy works.
 
== Theater ==
* The acting script for ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'' notes that Audrey should be played in a melodramatic way--not because she's being subversive or trying to parody the genre, but because she sincerely feels the emotions she expresses and "sees [[World of Ham|the world]] as her personal [[B-Movie|B-movie]]".
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Demon Lord Ghirahim from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' is ridiculously dramatic, but this also highlights his [[Ax Crazy]] persona as well.
* Make that "Drama ''Prince''"! Alexander sure acts like one in ''[[King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow (Video Game)|King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow]]'' while he is feigning suicide in front of Shamir Shamazel and the Pawn Shop Owner.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Bender from ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' actually admits to being a drama queen a lot of the time. When he thought he had a backup system, he therefore thought he was never in any real danger when the cast was in trouble. But he acted all terrified anyway.
* [[Large Ham|Rarity]] from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' (The Trope Images) loves to be dramatic, and even has her own couch just for fainting on<ref>She apparently carries it everywhere, as she was able to summon it from off-screen while on a picnic.</ref> One time Twilight Sparkle was overreacting due to [[Sanity Slippage]], and when Rarity [[Hypocritical Humor|called her a drama queen]], the other ponies glared at her. [[Hypocrisy Nod|Rarity quickly corrected with "Relatively speaking]]".
** At one point, she even manages to be a drama queen while writing a letter.
* ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama]]'' has three such characters.
** Courtney acts as one from the second half of ''Action'' on. An particularly egregious example of this behavior is when she [[Ship Sinking|breaks up]] with Duncan {{spoiler|for the last time}} in "The EX-Files", dumping a bowl of spaghetti on his head and throwing an outright tantrum in the Total Drama Plane's cafeteria.
** Blaineley tries to act like one; however, it comes off more as [[Large Ham]].
Line 63:
 
== Other ==
* This is the basic premise of the [[Memetic Mutation]] videos from ''[[Downfall (Filmfilm)|Downfall]]'', by having Hitler fly off the handle over just about anything.
