'''Rico:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}2aaubVlhNK4 LAAAAAAWWW!!!]|''[[Judge Dredd (film)|Judge Dredd]]'', [[The Movie]]}}

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' is essentially a continuous series of [[Ham -to -Ham Combat]] scenes, with all moments of Kamina and Viral together on screen automatically topping the list.

* [[Bleach]] gives us the amazing porkitude of Yumichika Ayasegawa vs. Charlotte Cuulhorne in the Arrancar arc. Once they call each other "ugly troll", thus pressing their same [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]], much screaming and attacking and [[Volleying Insults]] ensue. Bonus points to [[Tite Kubo]] for knowing when to stop. The fight [[Mood Whiplash|flips]] from [[Ham -to -Ham Combat]] to [[Let's Get Dangerous]] before the fandom can say "[[Curb Stomp Battle]]".

** ''[[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 Ham-to-Ham ham combatCombat in the story.

* ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'' [[Fun with Acronyms|L.A.M.]] gives us a celestial level [[Ham -to -Ham Combat]] when the [[Norse Mythology|Norse gods]] took it to [[Chewing the Scenery|scenery eating]] levels.

*** The entire Pertwee era is just one huge [[Ham -to -Ham Combat]] zone. If it isn't Pertwee and Delgado, it is Pertwee and Nicholas Courtney.

** Even the cast and crew weren't averse to a bit of Ham -to -Ham Combat among themselves. Roy Skelton, one of the Dalek voice actors during the classic series, says he and his colleagues would often compete with each other on set, to see who could be the most [[Evil Is Hammy|evil-sounding]] Dalek.

** The climax of "Moments of Transition" turns into three-way Ham To -to-Ham Combat between Delenn, Neroon, and Shakiri. The part where Neroon {{spoiler|makes his [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} elevates the whole thing to [[Narm]] levels.

* The British impressions show ''[[Dead Ringers (TV series)|Dead Ringers]]'' had a [[Running Gag|repeated sketch]] in which [[Ian McKellen]] and [[Alan Rickman]] battled it out in [[Ham -to -Ham Combat]] for [[Evil Brit|token British bad guy roles]]. They were inevitably blown out of the water by a [[Incoming Ham|dramatic entrance]] from '''<big>[[Brian Blessed|BRIAN BLESSED!!]]</big>'''.

* 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.

** Another example is [[D Generation X]]. [[Shawn Michaels]] thought [[Triple H]] was funny as hell behind the scenes, [[Triple H]] started trying to crack Shawn up on television, and it just evolved into [[Ham -to -Ham Combat]] meets [[No Fourth Wall]].

* ''[[Airforce Delta]] Strike'': The combat flight sim has the "Stand By" missions and the largest aerial ham Ham-to-Ham ham combatCombat ever produced in a videogame.

* The [[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]] [http://www.youtube.com/user/Sonic90127 fandub] of "Rise From The Ashes" evokes the game's Ham To -to-Ham Combat nicely, which is impressive given that Phoenix and Edgeworth are [[Talking to Himself|the same actor.]]
