Hammy Herald: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* 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!

* 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.

 

* William's friend Geoffrey in ''[[A Knight's Tale]]''. He whips the crowd into a frenzy for the pseudo-knight to do his thing. ''Chaucer'', that's it - [[Geoffrey Chaucer]].

* 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]].

{{quote|''Prince Ali! Fabulous he! Ali Ababwa''}}

 

* The bit in ''[[Harry Potter]] and the Chamber of Secrets'' where everybody starts to think that Harry is the descendant of Salazar Slytherin, so Fred and George start marching in front of Harry and crying out, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin! Seriously evil wizard coming through!" and stuff like that, in order to mock the notion.

 

* On ''[[Sesame Street]]'', this applies to Norm, herald to the Grand High Triangle Lover.

 

 

* The incredibly hammy Alberto Del Rio gets an even hammier introduction courtesy of his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez.

** Let's face it, plenty of ring announcers qualify. Michael Buffer and Lilian Garcia, especially.

* Armando, Alehandro, Estrada! The unsung hero([[Rudo|or not]]) who helped Umaga get over. WWE thought it worked too well and dropped him.

 

* ''[[Hamilton]]'' gives one to George Washington in "Right-Hand Man" that is worthy of a WWF star.

{{quote | ''Chorus'': Here comes the General!

''Burr'': GEOOOOOOOOORGE WASHINGTON!}}

 

* 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.}}
