This is an admitted [[Sub -Trope|subtrope]] of the [[Bad Writing Index]], but sometimes it's [[Guilty Pleasures|fun]].
 
You might find it hard to believe, but ''some'' writers actually use ''way too much'' emphasis in their descriptions! Using [[Wanton Cruelty to The Common Comma|punctuation]], [[Bold Inflation|formatting]] and ''[[Purple Prose|endless]]'' [[Purple Prose|superlatives]], they ''exhaust'' you by '''endlessly''' '''''insisting THAT EVERYTHING THEY TELL YOU IS TOTALLY EPIC!!'''''
Line 13:
'''[[Hypocritical Humor|Remember this:]]''' ''when '''everything''' is emphasized'' '''''nothing''''' ''is''!
 
Related to [[Bold Inflation]] and overlaps with [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]] when "bitch" comes every other sentence. It can also crop up when the character (or writer) is particularly [[Hot -Blooded|enthusiastic]], [[Single-Issue Wonk|invested]] or [[Unfortunate Implications|offended.]] This can result in any one of the [[What Do You Mean It's Not an Index?]] tropes. When similar overemphasis is used in acting, the result is an enormous, ebullient '''[[Large Ham]]'''!! See also [[Punctuated for Emphasis|Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]] for constrained emphasis.

* What about certain presenters - Jeremy Clarkson, for instance, '''really''' ''likes'' '''to put''' ''emphasis'' on '''''almost''''' ''every'' word. Oddly enough, Andrew Marr shares this habit.
* As noted by many at the time, David Harewood's performance as Tuck in ''[[Robin Hood (TV)|Robin Hood]]'' was-marred-by-his-odd-''insistence'' of speaking-very-''quickly'' during all-of-his-''lines'' and putting-an-''emphasis'' on the-very-last-''word'' of each-''sentence''. Needless-to-''say'', it-got-very-''annoying''.
* The Daleks of ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' emphasize every individual [[Accent On the Wrong Syllable|syllable]] of every word they say, without exception.
