Line 4:

* Gustav II Adolph in [[
** "[[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|My name is Ruy Sanchez de Casador y Ortiz]]. [[Prepare to Die|Prepare to die.]]"
* The titular character of ''[[Howl's Moving Castle (Literature)|Howl's Moving Castle]]''.
Line 22:
** It's fairly understated, but Draco Malfoy always gives the impression of playing to the crowd whenever he's taunting Harry, especially when he's described as drawling (which is fairly often). And Snape gets in on the act too, with his introductory speeches to Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts, or when he gets ''really'' angry and starts to rival Harry's own infamous love affair with CAPSLOCK. Then there's Voldemort's love of dramatic, long speeches (in a high-pitched voice this troper cannot help but hear as Starscream's)... apparently the Slytherin qualities are cunning and [[Incredibly Lame Pun|hambition]].
* "Excuse me! [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Elassar_Targon Elassar Targon], Master of the Universe, reporting for duty!" A pilot in the [[X Wing Series]], Elassar has the odd distinction of always ''reacting'' hammily.
** [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Garik_Loran Face Loran] is a former child star turned X-Wing pilot, and is a past master as unleashing the right amount of ham in the right place at the right time. His hamminess got him a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] / [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Funny]] when he had to [[False Flag Operation|impersonate]] ''another'' [[Large Ham]], [[Small Name, Big Ego|Captain Darillian]].
{{quote| ''Thank you, thank you. Performances every hour, on the hour. Imperial madmen a speciality.''}}
* [[MST3K]] subject ''The Sword and the Dragon'' has everyone talk like this. One of the host spots had Bill as the hero, "For it is ham that I seek! Ham! HAAAAAMM!!!" It actually comes off underplayed compared to the actual movie.
Line 34:
*** King Robert I Baratheon, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm
*** The crown of hammy titles has to go to: Queen Daenerys I Targaryen, {{spoiler|Queen of Meereen}}, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, Stormborn, {{spoiler|Breaker of Shackles, Breaker of Chains,}} Princess of Dragonstone and {{spoiler|Mother of Dragons.}}
** Tormund Giantsbane, [[The Munchausen|Tall-talker]], Horn-blower and Breaker of Ice, [[But You Screw One Goat!|Husband to Bears]], the Mead-king of Ruddy Hall, Speaker to Gods and Father of Hosts. All of which are self-styled titles. He has the most boisterous, hammiest laugh in the series and he loves talking about anything to do with his member.
** "[[Third Person Person|STRONG BELWAS]] NEEDS [[Trademark Favorite Food|LIVER AND ONIONS]]!"
* [[Honorverse (Literature)|Anton Zilwicki]] is usually somewhat [[The Stoic|stoic]], but he has his moments.
Line 51:
** In other words, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Heavenly Ham.]]
** In ''Turn Coat'', [[Big Friendly Dog]] Mouse loads on the ham when he takes a bullet for Molly due to her poor judgment, and she has to dig it out and clean the wound. The entire time he makes pitiful whines at the slightest touch, and treats the wound as something terrible and debilitating. When Molly is done and has to leave, Mouse promptly springs back up, apparently completely fine. Even Harry is impressed that Mouse was smart enough to deliberately ham things up to drive home the point to Molly.
** ''Changes'' has a moment where {{spoiler|Murphy}} is apparently channeling the voice of the [[
{{quote| ''"False gods! Pretenders! Usurpers of truth! Destroyers of faith, of families, of lives, of children! For your crimes against the Mayans, against the peoples of the world, now will you answer! Your time has come! Face judgment Almighty!"''}}
* Tigerstar and Brokenstar, main villains from ''[[Warrior Cats (Literature)|Warrior Cats]]'' both qualify. It helps that there's a meeting every month where they can give hammy speeches, but when they {{spoiler|die and go to the Dark Forest}}, they feel obliged to hold these meetings, just so their trainees know that a ham is in charge.
