Line 40:
* The final 15 minutes of ''[[Akira]]'': "TetSUOOOOOOOOO!" "KaneDAAAAAA!"
* ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]''. All the freaking time. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHSSDFBQ2Co&feature=related Especially when it involves Domon and Master Asia together.]
* ''[[Turn
* ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'': [[Running Gag|"Yukimura!" "Your Lordship!"]] "''Yukimura!''" "''Your Lordship[[!''" "'''YUUUKIMURA]]!'''" "'''''YOUR LORDSHIIIIP!'''''"
* [[The Hero|Guy Shishioh]] vs [[Big Bad|Palparepa]] in ''[[GaoGaiGar]] FINAL''
Line 49:
** Yumichika's best friend Ikkaku seems to have taken a page outta Yumi's book, as his fight against {{spoiler|Moe Shishigawara}} becomes in chapter 467. True to this porky tradition, {{spoiler|Ikkaku [http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/467/18 wins the fight] via giving Shishi [[Use Your Head|an absolutely massive and hammy headbutt]].}}
** Mila Rose and Apacci from Harribel's [[Amazon Brigade]] simply ''can't'' be in the same scene/panel WITHOUT punching/kicking/screaming/etc. at each other. In the meantime, Sung-Sun will [[Surrounded by Idiots|snark at them from the background.]]
** Being two [[Large Ham]] [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]], Mayuri and Szayel's match was not just a matter of [[Creepy Awesome|which one was the creepiest]], but also of who was the '''hammiest'''.
* ''[[Nichijou]]'': Makoto vs Manabu Takasaki, Go-soccer match.
** Mio and Yukko often sometimes Mai even joins in.
Line 103:
** To which Carrey responded (complete with shifty eyes), "They're on to me!"
* The scene with Lynch and Pike in the car together in ''[[The A-Team (film)|The a Team]]'' movie screams of this. It's clear they're both just having fun with the movie, and then they get in a conversation together...
* ''[[The Dark Knight Saga]]''
** ''[[The Dark Knight]]'': Christian Bale vs. Heath Ledger as Batman and the Joker.
** ''[[Batman Begins]]'' makes this a ''plot point''; Ducard teaches Bruce Wayne that theatricality can be a powerful weapon, and Bruce Wayne, the character, starts [[Chewing the Scenery]] to intimidate criminals. He ends up facing Dr. Jonathan Crane, who dresses up as Scarecrow and uses similar tactics. The Dark Knight follows the same concept; Bale vs. Ledger is going on, but ''Batman vs. Joker'' is Ham-to-Ham Combat in the story.
Line 160:
* An episode of ''[[Roseanne]]'' had Roseanne's cousin Ronnie visiting from New York. Cousin Ronnie was played by Joan Collins. A rare female case of Ham-to-Ham Combat ensued.
* Ham-to-Ham Combat was really the basis of Hawkeye and Trapper's (later B.J.) whole relationship in ''[[MASH]]''. This was as much their characters desperately trying to deflect the horror around them with silly puns, as it was Alda, Rogers, and Farrel having altogether too much fun working together.
* ''[[Babylon 5]]'':
** Londo and G'Kar, pretty much every time they met in the first couple of seasons led to a spectacular argument with actors Peter Jurasik and Andreas Katsulas trying to out-ham each other.
** Ham is part of the job description for any Centauri ambassador.
Line 175:
'''Jack:''' No one is, it's just happening. }}
* ''[[Rome]]'': Any scene in involving Pompey, Cicero and Cato. Pompey and Cicero will attempt to out-bumble each other, and Cato and Pompey will attempt to out-snarl each other.
* ''[[The Colbert Report]]'':
** [[Stephen Colbert]] vs. [[Steve Carell]]. Even [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart]] gets in on the action. [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/340910/july-07-2010/steve-carell Behold!]
** In a similar vein, Colbert squared up with [[Papa Bear]] [[Bill O Reilly|O'Reilly]] on an episode of the O'Reilly Factor. It was Colbert with his energetic antics versus O'Reilly and his legendary [[Deadpan Snarker|Snark]]. The battle was truly legendary.
Line 184:
{{quote|'''Kirk:''' "Beamed your crew down to the planet? But there ''is'' no planet!"
'''Decker:''' "Don't you think I know that? ''Don't you think I know that?!'' THERE WAS! ''BUT NOT ANYMORE!!''" }}
* In the finale of each episode of ''[[
Line 195:
** Allen/Lande is a superband that came together entirely for the purposes of this trope in regards to the afformentioned Russell Allen and Jorn Lande.
* From the realm of classical music comes Rossini's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FAa-g_7PRM "Duetto buffo di due gatti"] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|("Comic duet for two cats")]]. Any sopranos who do not use this song as an exercise in competitive hammery are just doing it wrong.
* Heavy metal is ''made'' of this trope, especially if a band has two lead guitarists (Glenn Tipton and K. K. Downing of [[Judas Priest]], most famously). They'll hit all the highest notes, play the fastest riffs, and do everything short of tickling their guitars to death. The hammiest of them can not only short-circuit their guitars, but cause them to ''melt''.
* In [[Journey (band)|Journey]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw4AV_BeE24&ob=av2e "Chain Reaction"] music video singer Steve Perry and guitarist Neal Schon engage in this, culminating in Steve laying the smackdown on Neal.
* The [[Flanders and Swann]] song "[[Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better]]" ends every verse with a singing duel between the two duetters. The ham level is high enough it can alter your blood cholesterol.
Line 274:
** Those two don't need ham. A short [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/0/01/Spy_specialcompleted03.wav "Oh dear, I made quite a mess"] is more effective than anything else in the game. Especially if you just got stabbed...
** The Engineer's [[Evil Laugh]] does wonders whenever he breaks it out, and additionally his subdued "[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/3/3c/Engineer_specialcompleted09.wav I told you don't touch that darn thing]" still manages to be hammy.
* ''[[Command
** ''Tiberium Twilight'' gives it a good showing between Joseph Kucan and Iona Morris.
** ''Tiberian Dawn'' averts this for the vast majority of the game... but not through a lack of ham from the actors (most of the recurring ones ham up at one point or another). There just aren't all that many scenes with more than one actor.
Line 286:
* Wallace and Vaida's supports in ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|Fire Emblem Rekka no Ken]]''. Wallace is already a loud [[Boisterus Bruiser]] by himself, but when he meets this [[Dark Action Girl]] with a scarred face and a no-nosense attitude, the scenery becomes all dense with their combined hamminess.
* Bowser against Fawful and Midbus ([[Full Boar Action|a literal Large Ham]]) in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.
* [[The Nightmare Before Christmas Oogies Revenge]]: Several of the boss battles can qualify (and the final battle definitely does).
** First take Jack, whose natural hammy theatrics are [[Turned Up to Eleven]] when in [[Musical Assassin|Musical Assassin mode]] then pit him in dance fights with huge song and dance sequences - complete with backup dancers (No, really, you can actually sing and dance most the bosses into submission Broadway style) - against the following:
*** Oogie Boogie, who is voiced by Ken Page, who has voiced some of the hammiest musical characters in in the last 30 years.
Line 305:
* In ''[[Kickassia]]'', very much a [[World of Ham]], [[The Nostalgia Critic]] and [[The Spoony One]] have a particularly [[Egregious]] example of this at the beginning of part 2. It stands out against all of the other extremely hammy cast members, and that says something.
** The battle between Nostalgia Critic and {{spoiler|Dr. Insano}} was the [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Haminess]].
** [[Played With]] in [[The Nostalgia Critic]]'s review of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (film)|Dungeons and Dragons]],'' when he ordained a contest between Profion's hammy overacting and the Empress' quiet underacting. Ultimately he decided [[Take a Third Option|they both sucked equally]].
* 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.
Line 341:
== Real Life ==
* Frequently seen in high school drama classes, both on stage, and even more often it will happen when participating in improvisation games.
* [[Model United Nations]] can on occasion descend into this when representatives of two unpopular countries, like North Korea and Myanmar, end up in a debate with each other.
* [[World War Two|Hitler vs Stalin]]
* Speaking of [[World War Two]]: Patton and ''any'' other general. Special note goes to him and Montgomery: The invasion of Sicily would have probably been a lot less bloody for the Allies if the two weren't trying to show each other who's the better conqueror.
