Line 124:
* In the [[Ciaphas Cain]] novel ''Cain's Last Stand'', the confrontation between Cain and Warmaster Varan starts out like this. Then they fight.
* The Duel of Insults from the [[Redwall]] novel ''Marlfox'' certainly counts as this.
* The argument between Severus Snape and Sirius Black in ''[[Harry Potter and
Line 180:
* James Nesbitt as [[Acting for Two|both]] Tom Jackman and Billy Hyde in [[Jekyll]].
* The main characters in ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' absolutely love, ''love'', LOVE doing this, [[Cavemen vs. Astronauts Debate|usually over very bizarre, trivial, or theoretical disputes]], and usually while sitting in their booth in McLaren's. So commonplace is it to see them over-dramatically ([[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|and often over-eloquently]]) yelling and cussing at each other in the middle of the crowded bar over, say, what the most common food in America is, that [[Fridge Logic]] forces the conclusion that their Ham-to-Ham Combat must be a well-known, taken-for-granted fixture of the bar, or else it would draw dozens of gawking spectators or scare customers away.
* In just about every episode of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'', [[William Shatner]] brings enough ham to the table to feed a small nation. But in the episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S2/E06 The Doomsday Machine|The Doomsday Machine]]", he meets his match in Captain Matt Decker.

'''Decker:''' "Don't you think I know that? ''Don't you think I know that?!'' THERE WAS! ''BUT NOT ANYMORE!!''" }}
Line 241:
** Since voice-acting was introduced, ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' games seem to do this rather regularly. Special mention has to be given to Tidus and Yuna's [[Stylistic Suck]] laughing scene in [[Final Fantasy X]], although Wakka and Rikku came close to out-doing them with their regular sentence-ending occurrences of "yah?" and "y'know?"
* The final boss fight in ''[[Dead Space 2]],'' where both Issac and {{spoiler|Nicole/The Marker}} take their scenery-chewing levels [[Up to Eleven]].
{{quote|YOU WILL ALL BE MADE ONE! '''[[
* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' has one where Ravel ([[Crazy Ham]]) meets The Transcendent One ([[Evil Sounds Deep]]). Or the ending sequences of PS:T in the Fortress of Regrets for that matter. You don't even need the sound. The writing at that point is sufficiently '''epic''' to convey the "hamminess" all by itself.
* Dante vs Agnus before their fight in ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4''. A bizarre in-universe example, complete with stage lights and noticeably more poetic dialogue than usual. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySY5YMoBp7c It really has to be seen.]
Line 295:
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Drowtales]]''
** Just about anytime a fight gets serious you can expect this. Quain'tana, Zala'ess (even more so when they're in [https://web.archive.org/web/20160605155542/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=449 the same scene]) and pretty much all of the [[Knight Templar]] Kyorl'solenurn clan seem to have a steady diet of the comic's scenery.
** The hammiest moment, bar none, is during Sil'lice's flashback where she battles the equally hamtacular Kalki, and Sil'lice's ham-a-thon when she returns to the Sharen fortress afterwards. They ''literally'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20150912193919/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive
Line 306:
* Apparently it's some kind of employment requirement (along with being [[Nerds Are Sexy|freaking]] [[Adorkable|gorgeous]]) for [[Channel Awesome]] to be able to ham it up when necessary. And sometimes when it's not, too.
* Lindsay, Elisa and Nella go all out with each other in the [[The Nostalgia Chick|Dark Nella Saga]]. Nella just about wins through [[Evil Is Hammy]], but the other women put up a surprisingly good fight.
* From ''[[Cerberus Daily News]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20150106074734/http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1307&start=50 VOLUS FIGHT!]
* The [[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]] [http://www.youtube.com/user/Sonic90127 fandub] of "Rise From The Ashes" evokes the game's Ham-to-Ham Combat nicely, which is impressive given that Phoenix and Edgeworth are [[Talking to Himself|the same actor.]]
* Despite being a collaboration, [[The Runaway Guys]] often find themselves in combat. Mostly [[Chuggaaconroy]] and [[Proton Jon]] yelling and insulting each other.
