Line 6 ⟶ 8:
Pixels are all you need for an [[Large Ham|overactor]].
----
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* Joachim Valentine (a.k.a. "CHAMPION OF JUSTICE, Grand Papillon!") from ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: Covenant''.
* The ''[[Disgaea]]'' universe simply [[World of Ham|drips with ham]].
Line 48 ⟶ 52:
** Hakumen can get quite hammy at times too.
{{quote|"I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall [[Knight Templar|I reap the sins of this world, and cleanse it in the fires of destruction]]. '''[[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|I AM HAKUMEN!]] [[Badass Creed|THE END HAS COME!]]'''"}}
** So can Jin when he's in [[Ax Crazy]] [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] Mode.
** And [[Eldritch Abomination|Arakune]] does too, surprisingly. Mostly in his pre-battle taunts.
{{quote|'''Arakune:''' In the end both you and I....are POINTLESSPOINTLESSPOINTLESS[[Laughing Mad|AAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!]]}}
Line 145 ⟶ 149:
{{quote|'''Leon:''' I'll kill you, AND THE NIGHT!}}
** ''[[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow|Dawn of Sorrow]]'' has these in Japanese, as it was never translated into English, voicewise. The fight {{spoiler|against Soma as Dracula is particularly notable, with his marvellous evil laugh, and the way he calls out the name of the person you are using while throwing his wine glass away. Julius... BERUMONDOOOOOAAAAA!}}
* Minsc from the ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]]'' series is a [[Boisterous Bruiser]]-flavored ham with his constant shouting of battlecries and enthusiasm.
{{quote|"I grow tired of shouting battlecries when fighting this mage! Boo will ''finish his eyeballs'' ONCE AND FOR ALL so he ''DOES NOT RISE AGAIN!''' ''EVIL! MEET MY SWORD!'' '''SWOOOOOORD! MEEEEEET! EEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIL!"'''}}
** His [[Evil Counterpart]] Korgan is nearly as bad with his over-the-top [[Violent Glaswegian]] acting. Most of the villains get some epic [[Chewing the Scenery]] lines, but most of them, with the possible exception of Irenicus, also know when calmness is called for.
** Just those two? ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]]'' is a textbook example of a [[World of Ham]]. There isn't a single character who ''isn't'' awesomely over the top and loving it. The closest thing you can find to a character played normally is the [[Fake Russian]] half-elf druid.
* The ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' RTS series of games is legendary for its wonderfully cheesy FMV cutscenes and a healthy dose of [[Deadpan Snarker]]ey, but the ''Red Alert'' games take it to a whole other level of, er... enthusiasm. A few specific examples:
** In-game, you have the [[Psycho Electro|Tesla Troopers]], who toss off [[Bond One-Liner]]s such as ''"Burn, baby, burn!!"'' in a cheesy Ahnuld accent.
Line 709 ⟶ 713:
** [[Fat Bastard|Wyzen]] is a [[Jerkass|condescending dick]] who manages to use up mantra to grow to the size of a ''planet'' in an effort to give Asura the [[Finger-Poke of Doom]]. And [[Beyond the Impossible|he's]] the [[Warmup Boss]]. {{spoiler|[[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|It fails.]]}}
** The game is an example of [[Large Ham]] status.
* Hideo Kuki of ''[[Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!|Maji De Watashi Ni Koi Shinasai]]'' grabs the attention of every scene he is in, [[Visual Novel]] and [[Anime]].
