----
== Web Comics ==
* The universe of ''[[Girl Genius]]'' is a [[World of Ham]]:
*** Pushed even further into the zone of absolute hamminess by Cheyenne Wright portraying Othar in the audio plays.
** Ferretina herself qualifies.
{{quote|"I think it's the loneliness that makes a...person begin to have...strange thoughts. Thoughts that drive her to explore the twisted, ''blasphemous'' back alleys of science. That allows - no - '''forces''' her to create '''monstrosities!''' Monstrosities fit only to unleash upon those sanctimonious villagers who reviled and '''mocked''' her because of her father's experiments!"}}
** Hamminess and [[Chewing the Scenery]] seem to be a consistent side effect of [[Science-Related Memetic Disorder|the Spark]]. Othar and Ferretina are just the ones who do it when they ''aren't'' going off on a [[Mad Scientist]] rant.
** The Jagermonsters have tendencies that way as well.
{{quote|"Ve kin only redeem ourselfs vit honourable death!"
Line 20:
"*sigh* Ve didn't gets ''caught,'' hyu ''eediots."''
"Whew!" }}
** Agatha herself [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110608 knows how to set the right tone] when addressing unruly minions.
* Dr. Disaster from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''. He starts hamming it up with [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=168 his very first lines]: "'''Spacemonauts!''' The '''Earth''' is '''in peril'''!" It's unclear whether he's like this all the time, or just acting. Ironically, he has a crush on Jones, the resident [[The Stoic|Stoic.]]
** Parley [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=390 knows] how important it is to put up a good show (later, Mort joins too).
* ''[[Misfile]]:'' New [[Knight Templar]] Xaphrael makes his entrance in [http://www.misfile.com/?page=1055 this strip]. "That voice, it's a [[Our Angels Are Different|Large Angelic Ham]]!" And the Whole [[Cryptic Conversation]] that follows it.
** '''Elan'''. "Dun dun DUNNH!"
** Belkar Bitterleaf would like to remind everyone that he is a [[Memetic Mutation|SEXY SHOELESS GOD OF WAR!]]
* [[Keychain of Creation|Nova]].
{{quote|"I am '''[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0128.html THE ELEGANT NOVA OF PROGRESSION!]'''"
"'''[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0137.html SCIENCE!!!]'''" }}
** [[Blind Seer|Terezi]] has a ''lot'' of fun [[Role Play|Role Playing]] as a [[Amoral Attorney|Legislacerator]].
* "I am [[Looking for Group|RICHARD]]! Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness! Lord of the Thirteen Hells! Master of the Bones! Emperor of the Black! Lord of the Undead! [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and mayor of a little village up the coast. It's very scenic during the spring time, you should visit sometime.]]"
== Web Original ==
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'':
** Yami/Pharaoh certainly qualifies.
{{quote|"I can do anything I want, because I'm voiced by [[4Kids! Entertainment|DAN GREEN]]!"<br />
"'''ATTENTION DUELISTS! MY HAIR HAS BECOME AN INTERNET PHENOMENON!'''" }}
** And then we have Marik.
{{quote|"Foolish fools! There are no women in Yu-Gi-Oh! There are only extremely girly men! And I am the most girly of them all!"}}
* ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog]]'':
** Nathan Fillion puts the "ham" in Captain Hammer. But he's playing a smarmy, self-absorbed superhero caricature--it would be ''impossible'' to portray the character any other way. Fillion remarked that it was the only time in his career a director had to tell him to be ''more'' of a ham.
{{quote|'''Captain Hammer''' (singing while giving Dr. Horrible the finger): "Everyone's a hero in their ''WAAAAAAAY''?!?"}}
** Doctor Horrible himself becomes Doctor ''Ham''ible in the last act, during the song "Slipping", and Act II - ''Brand New Day'' is a delicious slice of ham.
{{quote|"Now be careful, mustn't give away our position with maniacal laughter!"
"Even though what I want is something frightening! WHAT I WANT is something PURE EVIL, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" }}
** O'Malley's the undisputed king of this in Red vs. Blue, but fellow villain Wyoming is no slouch, and The Director shows shades of this as well at times.
{{quote|"I don't give a DAMN about you and your committee!" }}
{{quote|'''Strong Bad''': "Well, I heard a techno song one time that went like, 'Doom doom doom doom', and then this other part came in and it was like, 'Dudalado! Dudalado! Dudalado! Dudalado!' And there's always this high-pitched noise, you know, like a siren that's like, 'DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!! DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!!!' And then there's the obligatory old movie quote from some sci-fi movie, it's like, 'The system is down! DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!!! DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!!!!'"
'''Strong Bad''': "WHY? WHY DO MY THIRTY-YEAR-OLD ELECTRONICS KEEP BREAKING ON ME???" }}
** '''''TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!'''''
* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'':
** Liam Black is this mixed with [[Narm]]. Candescence, the character's handler, stated this was very intentional (though they did [[Old Shame|regret it in hindsight.]])
{{quote|"Oh and a girl with silky brown hair and a '''FUCKING LASER'''!"
"Then the person threatening James... '''IS YOU!''" }}
** This is one of the handler Ragged Druid's trademarks, along with [[Small Name, Big Ego]] and [[Don't Explain the Joke]].
** Jimmy Brennan of v4 is also particularly hammy, alongside [[Cluster F-Bomb|having a ridiculously huge potty mouth]].
{{quote|}}
{{quote|"I'm the LORD of the HARVEST!"
'''BRING IT DOWN, BRING IT DOWN!"''' }}
* While on the subject of web reviewers, [[World of Ham|just about anyone on]] ''[[That Guy With The Glasses]]'' qualifies.
** Of course, there is [[The Nostalgia Critic]] himself (pictured). But [[Doug Walker]]'s hamminess really shines as [[Bum Reviews|Chester A. Bum.]]
** [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony]] can serve up the ham, especially as Dr. Insano. [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]] can be as passionate as his name suggests and [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] has his moments too, [[Catch Phrase|for HE is A MAN!]].
** Elisa, as Dr. Tease and The Makeover Fairy, can hold her own too and even the Chick has a fair amount of moments.
*** To see Elisa really bringing home the ham, [http://blip.tv/mavenoftheeventide/vampire-reviews-interview-with-the-vampire-5655395# see] her piece on the impact of ''[[Interview With a Vampire]]''.
*** "The Dark Nella Saga" shows that all of Team NChick can gleefully ham it up like crazy, though Nella and Elisa remain the champions.
** While not a reviewer, Bhargav "Bargo" Dronamraju could very easily be the hammiest on the site.
{{quote|"A sci-fi movie so terrible it makes my nipples TINGLE with FEAR! [...] [[Big Yes|YYYES!]] ''[[Battlefield Earth (film)|BATTLEFIELD EARRRRTH!!!]]''"}}
** Nowhere are they hammier, however, than during the [[Massively Multiplayer Crossover]] that is ''[[Kickassia]]''. [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony]] exemplifies this trope to an awesome degree. [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] also deserves special mention for an extremely silly scene with [[Marz Gurl]].
{{quote|"Take comfort in my masculine arms!"}}
** They get it on again on ''[[Suburban Knights]]''. Especially [[Phelous]] as [[The Neverending Story (film)|the Rockbiter]] and [[Paw Dugan|Paw]] as [[Dungeons and Dragons (film)|Profion]] (a character well discussed in the [[Large Ham/Film|Film page]]).
** Linkara's dad as Whatley in the Silent Hill: The Grinning Man review, in a wig that wouldn't look out of place in Spinal Tap, and it is glorious.
* Mille Chanteau of ''[[Ilivais X]]'' is the ''queen'' of ham. If she's in battle, it's all but guaranteed anything she says is an epic speech of some kind, and it's not limited to then either. Of course, there's also Seyne (that comes with being a [[Super Robot Wars|Sanger Zonvolt]] [[Expy]] though), most of the [[Elemental Powers|GEKICOM]] and [[Combining Mecha|STRUQ]] members, hell, even [[Broken Bird|Iri]][[Rei Clone|ana]] has her moments.
* Bottom of ''[[Wormtooth Nation]]'' hams it up in every scene. This is understandable since he is based on the character of the same name from ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]''.
* "
* [http://baumanletters.ytmnd.com/ "THIS is TRUE LUNACY!"]
** Snape, Draco, and Voldemort all qualify, with Snape being the most [[Egregious]] example by far. Dumbledore is up there as well, especially when he starts lapsing into a Yiddish accent. Really, half of the play is the actors all [[Ham-to-Ham Combat|trying to out-ham each other]]... which doesn't detract from it at all.
* Then there is Heart from ''[[Me and My Dick]]''. (For those who haven't seen it, it's much [[Better Than It Sounds]].)
* ''[[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC]]'': [[Norman Osborn|Green Goblin]] (who's also a big fan of Willem *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgLd26dxDRg DAFOE!]*'s performance) and [[Deadpool]]. [[Thor]], to an extent... and there's [[Ghost Rider]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11EgDKxjOm0 doing an homage] to [[Nicolas Cage|the ham who portrayed him]].
* In ''[[Gaia Online]]'':
** Pretty much everything {{spoiler|Labtech X}} says.
** Then we have JOHNNY GAMBINO.
{{quote|"[[Evil Laugh|BWAHAHAHA!]]"}}
** Who could forget the Overseer?
{{quote|"[[Naked People Are Funny|FEELS GOOD MAN!]]"}}
** Rigel and Mintaka are beginning to show hints of this as well.
{{quote|"SOOOO FABULOUS!"}}
{{quote|"I SAID PICK IT UP!"}}
* "[[Dragonball Z Abridged|This is gonna be my BEST... DAY... EVER!]]"
{{quote|"
"JUMP HEIGHT! '''UPGRADED!!!!'''" }}
* Butterfree in Box of Danger's ''[[Pokémon: The Abridged Series]]''. Also counts as [[Memetic Badass]].
** Also, Zoycite, Queen Beryl, Mina/Sailor Venus, Molly, and just about every character that [[Kris Rix]] plays other than Amy.
* [[Doctor Steel]] goes through a ''lot'' of [[Chewing the Scenery|scenery]]; consciously [[Played for Laughs]].
{{quote|"'''Malstrom'''- World-wide sex symbol to women. When a new article appears, his mailbox gets flooded by the ladies demanding passion from him. "A business article on video games? That is so hot!" they squeal. Each Malstrom article also gains him a million dollars from jet-sitting super secret investors. Malstrom is also prone to self-delusions. ("Hey," he says, "if you are going to have delusions, might as well go for the really satisfying ones!")"}}
* [[Internet Personality Vangelus]], reviewer of [[Transformers]] and [[Kamen Rider]] toys alike. Likewise, his alter-ego ''[[The Milk Daddy]]''.
{{quote|"YOU'RE ABOUT A THREE MISSISSIPPI COUNT AWAY FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF A RAPE, BROTHER."}}
* Most of the cast of ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe|The Golden Age]]''. Of course, the fact that it was entitled the [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] was kind of your first clue. Not too subtle, [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]].
* If you thought the line "I will now enjoy my fruit snack." couldn't be said in a hammy way, you need to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu56cDhLxPM change your opinion right now.]
* "[[Catch Phrase|Hey]] [[Opening Narration|everybody]], [[Once an Episode|it's]] [[Chuggaaconroy]]!"
* [http://www.youtube.com/user/ATLAHWorldwide James David Manning].
* '''[[EPICMEALTIME|EPIC MEAL TIME!]]''' It just wouldn't be EMT without ham. And bacon strips. And bacon strips. [[Overly Long Gag|And bacon strips...]]
** Any role played by Richard (Mario)
** Wario ''is'' this trope in earlier seasons, and has become one again after season three where he was a {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]}}.
* Just about [[World of Ham|''everyone'']] gets in on this at some point in [[Shiny Objects Videos]].
* [[Sonic for Hire|''Frying and Buying'']]
* Professor Peter Port in ''[[RWBY]]''.
