A [[One-Liner]] that is powerful, portentous, and delivered by a character to announce his presence. As if we could possibly miss it. Often [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|pronounced quite emphatically]]. Contractually required for a [[Large Ham|certain type of actor]]. Can almost always be replaced by, "Did someone order a '''[[Large Ham]]?'''"
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
The most common form of dialog found in a [[World of Ham]]. Often the response to [[Inadvertent Entrance Cue]]. Usually a [[Catch Phrase]], but not always. Compare [[In the Name of the Moon]], [[Big Entrance]]. [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Establishing Character Moment]]. When followed by a heapin' helpin' of ass-whoopin', it's a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]. Not to be confused with [[Food Fight]].
{{examples}}
== General ==
* The first line of [[Satan]], in any vaguely comedic work made from the [[The Seventies]] on, is practically obligated to be: "Please allow me to introduce myself - I'm a [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]." For any poor deprived souls who don't get the reference, it's from [[The Rolling Stones]]'s "Sympathy for the Devil."
** When used by V in ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', it's a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]. Also a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]], as he says this to a ''priest'' while wearing cute little ''Devil horns.'' (In the comic, anyway)
== [[Advertising]] ==
* The Kool-Aid man breaking through a wall and yelling "Oh yeah!"
* "HI, [[Billy Mays]] HERE!!!"
* "Hi! I'M BARRY SCOTT!"
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''
** Kamina manages to turn a simple encouragement to Simon into an incoming ham, to say nothing of his actual introduction to a Ganmen later on in the episode.
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
** Half of the show is people delivering hams, and many turn into this. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|The other half are mechs]] [[Stuff Blowing Up|blowing shit up]]. Even [[The Chick|N]][[Cloudcuckoolander|i]][[Damsel in Distress|a]] pulls some at some point.
* ''[[Baccano!]]'': Ladd Russo enters with the line "Thank you! fuck you! The star is here!"
* ''[[
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'': Graham Aker when transforming his mecha from plane to robot form in mid flight to do a bodyslam, "I call this, the '''Graham Special!!'''"
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'': The Team Rocket trio make rather a production of their entrances, going beyond a simple catch phrase to several catch sentences. More like a catch poem, really. It gets hammier and hammier with each season. They even did a Karaoke-style song once to introduce themselves. They do it so often that in ''To Master the Onixpected!'' Meowth even uses a remote to speed up the part of the episode where they perform their motto. James bites his tongue in the process from talking so fast. Meowth has a remote that can screw with reality... [[
* ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' has Black, whose first line was "I'M GOING TO BE THE CHAMPION OF THE POKÉMON LEAGUE!!!", which freaked out the other characters.
* ''[[Code Geass]]'': In the first season finale, Jeremiah busts out of the ground, screaming "All hail Britannia!" [https://web.archive.org/web/20111126084836/http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage
* In ''[[The Slayers]]'' OAV series, Naga's appalling [[Noblewoman's Laugh]] usually precedes her.
* Renge in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' often does this via [[Noblewoman's Laugh]] before dramatically rising from under the floor.
Line 62 ⟶ 60:
* Ahem. [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Major Armstrong]]. That is all.
{{quote|'''Isaac the Freezer:''' I know that voice! Is that you, Armstrong?!
'''Major Armstrong:''' *[[There Was a Door|smashes through wall]]* INDEED! NONE OTHER!
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}xRSxPcLZgzI Witness the ham.] Not dubbed or subbed, and [[Rule of Cool|neither]] [[Stuff Blowing Up|is]] [[Right Makes Might|necessary.]] }}
** In the manga Armstrong is introduced during the battle with Scar. Scar has just said he will kill everyone there; this is followed by "I'd like to see you TRY!" and Armstrong's fist smashing the ground milimetres from him. And then there's Basque Grand's entry in Ishbal: "I am the Ironblood Alchemist, Basque Grand! Iron & blood, might & manpower! If I do not lead the charge, than who will!?"
Line 68 ⟶ 66:
* Iskander from ''[[Fate/Zero]]'' decides to make his public entrance into the fourth holy grail war by crashing his flying thunder chariot directly in-between a dueling Saber and Lancer, leaving skid marks in the concrete, before throwing up his arms, loudly and openly declaring his true name, and then inviting both combatants to join his army and help him [[Take Over the World]].
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* "'''The [[Fantastic Four]]!!''' Hah! Little do they dream they are naught but '''pawns''' in the hands of '''[[Doctor Doom]]!'''"
** This line was delivered while holding Fantastic Four-shaped [[Chess Motifs|chess pieces]] with a vulture perched next to him, surrounded by books entitled "DEMONS" and "[[Mad Scientist|SCIENCE AND SORCERY]]", and sitting in a throne in the [[Elaborate Underground Base|underground lab]] of [[Haunted Castle|his old world castle]]. So, a relatively restrained moment.
Line 86 ⟶ 76:
* ''[[The Mighty Thor]]'': "Ultron! We would have words with thee!". If Thor and/or [[The Incredible Hercules]] is on a team of Avengers, you can count on these kinds of moments frequently.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[My Immortal]]'': "What the hell are you doing you motherfukers!"
* [[Futurama|Bender:]] "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3295974/1/The_Real_Decoy DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR A SAVIOR??????]"
Line 97 ⟶ 86:
* ''[[Power Rangers GPX]]'': "HELLO, RRRANGERS!!!"
* ''[[Turnabout Storm]]'': "'''HAHAHAHAHA!''' [[We Meet Again]], Twilight Sparkle!"
* Invoked for humor's sake in [https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/i-woke-up-as-a-dungeon-now-what-dungeon-worm.620521/page-219#post-51745802 Exploit 4.1] of the ''[[Worm]]'' fic ''[[I Woke Up As a Dungeon; Now What?]]'', when a party of "troubleshooters" show up at the village building itself around the dungeon operated by Taylor's consciousness, a dead dire boar being carried by their [[Boisterous Bruiser]]:
{{quote|"And the big guy who came in with us is Raffaa Har'iwa," Karjn added. "Don't worry about him, he's harmless."
Through the eyes of a few ants, I was watching him and half a dozen villagers work together to dismantle the boar. He gave a victorious shout as, with a final cut, he managed to tear off one of the beast's hind legs, which he raised to the sky while the crowd applauded. He turned to them with a jovial grin and asked, "DOES ANYONE NEED A VERY LARGE HAM?"}}
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'': "Good morning, good morning, gooooood morning!"
* [[Megamind]]'s entrance into the climax defines this trope, embraces it, and asks for extra pinapple slices. Megamind has set it up so the following exchange happens amid a laser-light show, smoke effects, and hundreds of [[Brain In a Jar]] minions forming the illusion of Megamind's face (From which Megamind emerges on the tongue of), and all to the already-pretty-epic beginning of [[Guns N' Roses]] "Welcome to the Jungle".
{{quote|'''Megamind:''' You dare challenge Megamind?
'''Tighten:''' This town isn't big enough for '''two''' Supervillains!
'''Megamind:''' Oh, you're a ''Villain'' alright. Just not a ''Super'' one
'''Tighten:''' Yeah? What's the difference?
'''Megamind:
* Pretty common in Disney characters, especially [[Evil Is Hammy|the villains]].
** ''[[Mulan]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8SE87FClV0&feature=related "I LIIIIIIIIIIVE! So tell me what mortal needs my protection, great ancestor, you just SAY the WORD and I'm there."] Eddie Murphy is so many shades of awesome. So much he gets another: "'''DID I HEAR SOMEONE ASK FOR A ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn_nM7x7Lcw MIRACLE?!]'''''"
Line 116 ⟶ 107:
** ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'': ''' WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED?!"'''
* The bacteria in ''[[Osmosis Jones]]'': "Careful... I'm contagious!" And only a couple seconds later: "[[Bond One-Liner|Think I'll turn up the heat in here."]] ([[Evil Laugh]] and [[Unflinching Walk]].)
* Syndrome in ''[[The Incredibles]]'': "Iiiit's bigger. Iiiits better. Iiiits '''TOO MUCH FOR MR. INCREDIBLE!'''"
* ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'': Before [[Bad Motherfucker]] asked Brett to "SAY WHAT AGAIN!" he "DON'T REMEMBER ASKING YOU A GOD DAMN THING!". Cue the introduction to the general public one of the [[Large Ham|biggest hams]] in the history of film.
* ''[[The Fifth Element]]'' "KORBENNNNNNNNNNNN DALLLLLLLLLLLLLLASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" - or for that matter, any time Ruby Rhod enters a scene. Any time the camera cuts away from and back to him counts.
* Richard Henry Lee's first (spoken) line in ''[[1776 (musical)|1776]]'': "You sent for me, Benjamin?"
* Creedence Leonore Gielgud of ''[[Troll 2]]'': ''This is MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY house!''.
* ''[[Transformers
** "I... Am... MEGATRON!!!"
** [[Big Damn Heroes|"Behold the eternal glory of... ''Jetfire''!"]] His actual introduction line, "What kind of hideous mausoleum is this?", also counts.
Line 144 ⟶ 132:
'''JB''' & '''KG:''' ''[[This Is Gonna Suck|Fuuuuuuuuuck...]]'' }}
* ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (film)|Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie]]'': Ivan Ooze manages to steal the spotlight from Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa. No mean feat, considering they were pretty massive hams to begin with.
{{quote|'''Ooze:''' LAAAAAAAAAADIES AND GENTELEMEN. [[
* ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]'': "I can see you, Kirk. Can you see me?"
* ''[[Good Morning, Vietnam]]'': Robin Williams plays a radio host. What else would you expect from him?
{{quote|"GOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAAAAAM!"}}
* ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]''
Line 153 ⟶ 141:
** "You punched me in the ''boob!'' Prepare to die, obviously!"
** "Now you listen close and you listen hard, bucko. The next click you hear is me hanging up. The one after that... [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|is me pulling the trigger.]]"
* The Guardian, the bad guy in ''[[Highlander: The
* John Malkovich in ''[[Eragon (film)|Eragon]]''. "I suffer without my stone. DO NOT PROLONG MY SUFFERING!" In his defense, with a line like that, ham is probably the only way to attempt salvaging it.
* This list just isn't complete without [[Kelly LeBrock]]'s smoky "So....what would you little maniacs like to do first?" in ''[[Weird Science (film)|Weird Science]]''.
* [[Kevin Spacey]] in ''[[Se7en]]'': "Detective. Detective. '''DETECTIIIIIIVE'''! You're looking for me."
* [[Tom Hiddleston]] as Loki introduces himself to a crowd of terrified Germans in ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'': [[Kneel Before Zod|"Kneel before me.]] I said... '''''KNEEL!!!"'''''
== [[Literature]] ==
* Esmé in ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' gave her full name, usually to people who already knew it.
* ''[[The Bartimaeus Trilogy]]''
Line 177 ⟶ 155:
* Spiro's '''HOY!''' in ''[[My Family and Other Animals]]''.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* Pictured above: Douglas from ''[[The IT Crowd]]''. Nothing says '''[[Large Ham]]''' like arriving to your dad's funeral, opening the parish doors boldly, taking off your sunglasses and, right before spectacularly running up the isle, knocking down the casket ''and'' getting into a slap fight with the vicar, screaming atop of your lungs: "'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP7LHHR91lE FFFAAAAAAAAAAATHEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!]'''"
* ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'': Not a one liner, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Nz3MhQ92k Bob Fossil's entry] in the Stage Show fits this trope nonetheless. It's over the top, it's noisy, it announces the presence of a [[Large Ham]]... the only difference is that it goes on for longer.
Line 190 ⟶ 167:
** Variations include "HALT! STAY WHERE YOU ARE! YOU ARE A PRISONER OF THE DALEKS!", and so forth.
** {{spoiler|In ''Journey's End'', some Daleks in Germany use the battle cry of "EXTERMINIEREN!".}}
** In all his appearances, [[The Master (trope)|The Master]] tends to announce himself with "I am the Master, and you will obey me."
** The Captain's introduction in ''The Pirate Planet'': "MR. FIBULI! MR. FIBULI! BY ALL THE X-RAY STORMS OF VIGA, '''WHERE''' IS THAT NINCOMPOOP?!"
** Timothy Dalton with '''Gallifrey RISES!''' whilst spitting all over the camera.
Line 225 ⟶ 202:
* On ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' GOB and Buster are impressed by rival magician "Tony Wonder" (Played by Ben Stiller) who only appears when someone uses the word "Wonder" at which point he tosses a smoke bomb, jumps out from hiding, and proclaims, "Did somebody say ''WONDER''?!"
== [[Music]] ==
* "Alright, [insert city/venue here]! Yoooou wanted the best... You got the best! The hottest band in the world... '''<big>[[Kiss]]</big>'''!"<!-- [[Comically Missing the Point|They get a big kiss?]] -->
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* '''[[World Wrestling Entertainment|"IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLL..]] WHAT <big>[[Dwayne Johnson|THE ROCK!]]</big> IS COOKIN'!"'''
** '''FINE-LY... <big>THE ROCK. HAS</big> <big>COME BACK</big> TO (insert current location)'''
* '''[[Ric Flair|WWOOOOOOOO!!]]'''
Line 241 ⟶ 217:
* '''[[CM Punk|IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!]]'''
== [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] ==
* In his later performances, [[Sam Kinison]] would often walk on stage screaming, one time even chained like a wild animal.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* In the "Molten Core" raid deck for the ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' trading card game, whoever's playing the raid deck is encouraged to do this when the final boss appears. "Behold Ragnaros -- The Firelord! He who was ancient when this world was young! Bow before him, mortals! Bow before your ending!"
** The card comes by it honestly. The Firelord neutral class in ''[[Warcraft]] III: The Frozen Throne'' is quite a [[Large Ham]]—his summoning quote is a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Sinistar]]''.
* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', the joke set ''Unhinged'' has a card called "Carnivorous Death Parrot" that requires the player to read its flavor text at the start of every turn to keep the creature in play... the text "Save a kill spell to deal with this guy." (It makes sense when you see the picture.) There's also Infernal Spawn of Evil: "It's coming!" as well as "Ach! Hans, run!"
** "Save a kill spell to deal with this guy" is a drawback—five cards in the same set have the ability "whenever an opponent says [either of the words in this card's name], you may say 'Gotcha!' and return this from your graveyard to your hand". The death-parrot triggers all five. It triggers six if your rules-meister considers 'to' to be a homophone of 'two'...
==
* In the modern re-interpretation of ''[[The Imaginary Invalid]]'', Beralde is introduced when he marches on stage and announces to the other characters, "I WRESTLED A ''BEAR'' TODAY."
{{quote|'''Toinette:''' Your shirt is all tattered!
'''Beralde:''' That's what happens when you GRAB LIFE BY THE BALLS. }}
* In the farce ''[[Murder in the Magnolias]]'', Hollywood actress Lotta Kargo makes her first entrance proclaiming "In two days, tomorrow will be yesterday!"
* [[Miles Gloriosus]] makes his grand entrance in ''[[A Funny Thing Happened on
* ''[[1776 (musical)|1776]]'' has Richard Henry Lee: "YOU SENT FOR ME, BENJAMIN?... HELLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOO JOHNNY!!!"
* ''[[Rent]]'' has Maureen delivering this little gem when she arrives for her performance:
{{quote|'''Maureen:''' *dramatically* JOANNE! Which way to the stage?!}}

* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'': Sanger Zombolt takes the cake.
{{quote|'''Sanger:''' SHUT UP AND LISTEN! I AM SANGER... SANGER ZOMBOLT! THE SWORD THAT SMITES EVIL!}}
Line 291 ⟶ 270:

** {{smallcaps|[[Mass Effect 1|You are not Saren]].}}
** '''[[
* ''[[Sinistar]]'': '''"BEWARE! I LIVE!"'''
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'': Every. Single. Raid. Boss. ''Ever.'' The top two are probably Kael and Malygos. Kael gives a hammy speech that lasts several minutes every time you engage him, and later returns to inform you that [[Memetic Mutation|He knows what you're thinking. But Tempest Keep was merely a setback!]] Malygos? '''WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH HERE? TO EMPLOY MAGIC? AGAINST ME? [[Evil Laugh|Bwahahahahahahaha!]]'''
Line 325 ⟶ 304:
** '''''HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW???!?!?!?!?!?'''''
* Everyone in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' has their hammy moments, some more than others, so many of their "battle cry" lines—uttered at the beginning of every round—count as this. Especially the Heavy and Demoman. Also, the Heavy's Übercharge lines, given the context. "IS GOOD TIME TO RUN, COWARDS!"
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100620141740/http://tf2wiki.net/w/images/d/df/Heavy_incoming03.wav This line says it all] and this says [https://web.archive.org/web/20100620075053/http://tf2wiki.net/w/images/c/c5/Heavy_sandwichtaunt06.wav the rest].
** The Heavy had a literal example as he made his grand entrance in "Meet the Spy".
* In ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' (Advance translation), your first proper battle with [[Braggart Boss|Gilgamesh]] is proceeded by:
{{quote|''HA HA! [[Inescapable Ambush|Guess who's been hiding behind this door the whole time?]] Yes, it's me!''
''Took you long enough, too... [[Friendly Enemy|I was just getting worried you might have gotten lost!]]''
''Anyway! [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|It's go time!]]'' }}
** What is probably his most infamous line in the entire franchise:
{{quote|"Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh...''IT IS MORPHING TIME!''"}}
::''Any'' time [[Braggart Boss|Gilgamesh]] shows up, you can be guaranteed that there will be enough ham to feed a city block for a week.
* ''[[
* ''[[Dawn of War]]''
** The opening cutscenes for the games let you know [[World of Ham|just how dramatic the game is going to be]] (true to its source, ''[[Warhammer
** There are also these two lines in the ''Dawn of War II'''s opening cutscene:
{{quote|'''Eldar Farseer:''' You lost this war before you even started, fool.
'''Space Marine Captain:''' ''(in the absolute loudest scream possible)'' TAKE COVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR! }}
** The Assault Marines in the first ''Dawn of War'' were rather fond of shouting "[[Death From Above|DEATH FROM ABOOOOOOVE!!]]" while activating their jump packs, followed by crashing down onto whoever was unlucky enough and unleashing the full force of ''[[Warhammer
** In addition, in ''Dawn of War II'' every single boss creature except [[Horde of Alien Locusts|Tyranid beasts]] gleefully indulges in this.
