* Kenichi's father, of ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'' uses this with his shotgun, Sebastian. He presses a button, and the gun starts sliding slowly out of a hidden panel in the wall, while he yells:
{{quote| ARISE, '''SEBASTIAN!'''}}

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''. An announcer at a nightclub introduces the next act.
{{quote| '''Kenny Lust:''' You know, once in a while it is my pleasure, and my privilege, to welcome here at the Refreshment Room, some of the truly great international artists of our time. And tonight we have one such artist. Ladies and gentlemen, someone whom I've always personally admired, perhaps more deeply, more strongly, more abjectly than ever before. A man, well more than a man, a god, a great god, whose personality is so totally and utterly wonderful my feeble words of welcome sound wretchedly and pathetically inadequate. Someone whose boots I would gladly lick clean until holes wore through my tongue, a man who is so totally and utterly wonderful, that I would rather be sealed in a pit of my own filth, than dare tread on the same stage with him. Ladies and gentlemen, the incomparably superior human being, Harry Fink!<br />
'''Club worker:''' He can't come!<br />
'''Kenny Lust:''' Never mind. He's not all he's cracked up to be. }}
* Happens several times in ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'', usually in the form of [[Battle Butler|Jii]] or [[The Lancer|Ryuunosuke]] giving a long-winded and boastful description of their Lord [[The Hero|Takeru]], only for Takeru to cut them off. Happens again when [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger|Kaoru]] receives the same treatment from her retainer, Tanba.
Line 27:
* In ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider Man]]'', the wrestling announcer decides that Peter's stage name isn't cool enough and announces him dramatically as "[[The Adjectival Superhero|the amazing SPIDER-MAN]]"! Naturally, he's played by [[Bruce Campbell]].
* The introduction of a star in ''[[All That Jazz]]''.
{{quote| '''O'Connor Flood:''' The word ''superstar'' is greatly overused in this business. But for my next guest, the word superstar is totally inadequate. [snip] I feel humbled in his presence. From deep, deep in here, ladies and gentlemen, let me lay on you... A great entertainer. A great humanitarian. And my dearest, dearest friend for 20 years.}}
* Davy Jones' introduction of the Kraken in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: Dead Man's Chest''.
* ''[[Mad Max]]'': "Greetings from the [[Complete Monster|Humongous!]] The [[Malevolent Masked Men|Lord]] [[Depraved Bisexual|Humongous!]] The [[Nietzsche Wannabe|Warrior]] [[Names to Run Away From|of]] the [[Scavenger World|Wasteland!]] The Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rollah!"
* In ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'', Jarvis's speech introducing Clu to the light cycle arena.
{{quote| And who best to battle this ''singular'' opponent? Perhaps one who has some experience in these matters? Oh yes indeed, programs! Your liberator! Your luminary! Your leader and beacon! The one who vanquished the tyranny of the user those many cycles before...Cllloooooooooooo!}}
* The ''Prince Ali'' number in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' is basically a multi-minute act of hammy heralding.
{{quote| ''Prince Ali! Fabulous he! Ali Ababwa''}}

Line 57:
 
* In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42Lf7yNhdtk Yankee Doodle Daffy]", [[Daffy Duck]] plays the agent for a kid duck singer. Daffy plays it up as if the kid were the greatest thing since sliced bread, although he turns out to be not so hot.
{{quote| He's colossal, stupendous! One might even go so far as to say he's mediocre.}}
** The kid even holds up a [[Lampshade Hanging|picture of a ham]] while Daffy is praising him.
