While he's not supposed to actually ''be'' the ''Beast Wars'' version, the ham will sometimes emerge. Especially in ''Armada,'' in which he is ''obsessed'' with his [[Evil Laugh]]. (Basically, take his laugh from this clip and multiply it by basically every episode. At times, he'll even start laughing, wind down... then spontaneously start up again.)

*** In the same series, Terrorsaur seems to get significantly hammier in "Power Surge" after being supercharged.
** Caliburst, a Nebulan Targetmaster, was such a ham actor it's said that his work isn't ''appreciated'' so much as ''endured''. He does, however, put up a convincing front of bravery in and out of battle, encouraging his partner Slugslinger in the process.

* Limburger from the original ''[[Biker Mice From Mars]]'' series was a bit like this on most occasions and also a [[Small Name, Big Ego]]. From the new series there's Ronaldo Rump and also Hairball.

** The [[DCAU]] Joker was particularly hammy in an early episode "The Last Laugh", with lines such as "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEBLOSkBMZ4 You're going to MELT just like a griiilled cheeeeese sandwiiich!]" and, lest we forget, "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KCJxXwq20U You killed Captain Clown. YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN!!!]"
** It's probably telling that the Joker had the most frequent [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]] plots, so he could broadcast his villainous (and hammy) acts to the world. Hell, let's just say if you're playing the Joker, you're gonna ham it up.
** DCAU Joker was played by [[Mark Hamill|Mark]] [[Meaningful Name|HAMill]], who would practice his evil laughs when driving along LA highways, trying to be as hammy as possible.
** The Scarecrow in ''[[Batman:

'''Harley Quinn''': Hi, Professor Crane.
'''Scarecrow''': Good evening, child... '''''Worship me, fools! Worship me! Scream hosannas of anguish to Scarecrow, the all-terrible God of Fear!''''' }}

** The Penguin has his moments as well. Lampshaded in the episode ''Almost Got 'im'':
{{quote|
'''Poison Ivy''' (interrupting): Aviary of WHAT?
'''Joker''': Yeesh, Pengers! How corny can you get?
'''Penguin''': Fah! Just because you mundane miscreants have no drama in your souls! Anyway, there he was in my av... uh, big birdhouse... }}
** Black Mask [[Chewing the Scenery|chews the scenery]] in pretty much all of his scenes in ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]''.
{{quote|
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'': "WHO??? WHO DID THIS??? WHO DARES TO SOIL MY NORMAL BOY HEAD WITH THIS... PORK COW?"
** Zim is the ''king'' of this trope. Pretty much ''every single line he says'' has him screaming something.
Line 114 ⟶ 111:
*** Richard actually pointed this out several times, saying that Zim is the hardest role he's ever done, because even his NORMAL speaking voice is shouting.
*** Interestingly enough, when Dib breaks into his house during the Halloween special, he doesn't start yelling until after Dib ignores pretty much everything he says.
{{quote|
'''Dib:''' You're the only one with the technology--
'''Zim:''' HELP?!?! YOU?!?! Come to me? Your greatest, most amazing ''enemy?'' Your future slave-master and you ask for HELP?!? }}
** Ham seems to be a class feature of Irkens, whether it's the Almighty Tallest ("Soon, all the races of the universe will serve... the IRKEN EMPIRE!"), Tak ("'''I''' should have been an Invader! '''I''' should have been part of the Great Assigning! I shouldn't '''have''' to be stealing '''this''' planet from '''you'''!"), or even little Skoodge ("So that no Irken boot has to come into contact with any unsavoury alien filth! '''HOO-AH'''!")

**** That's only if you compare him to the veritable [[World of Ham]] that Psychonauts takes place in. I refer you to the [[Brick Joke|purpose of the goggles.]]
* Since Daggett was mentioned, [[The Angry Beavers|Norbert Beaver]] also qualifies as a Ham.
Line 131 ⟶ 128:
** While we're on the subject, [[Camp Gay|Him]] fits this too.
* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''' Doctor Orpheus:

** Captain Sunshine: "[[Berserk Button|WONDERBOOOOOY!!!]] [[Heroic BSOD|WONDERBOOOOOOOY!!!]]"
** Mr. Impossible has some of it as well, in early episodes. Being played by [[Stephen Colbert]] didn't hurt. He tends to be hammy in the [[Mad Scientist]] sense.

** Over reacting to almost everything, Sokka hams it up a couple of times ''every'' spisode.
{{quote|
"APPA ATE MOMO!!" }}
** Jeong Jeong. Every line that Jeong Jeong said was super serious and dramatic, especially when he angsted about how much of a BURDEN firebending is. Add to that that his voice itself is quite hammy, no matter what he is saying. Hey, his pupil Zhao had to get it from somewhere.
{{quote|
''"I've always wished I were blessed like you,
''"Water brings healing and life. Fire brings only DESTRUCTION and PAIN."'' }}
** And let's not forget Ozai ([[Meaningful Name|HAMill]] again) in the finale
{{quote|
''"I have [[A God Am I|all the power IN THE WORLD]]!"'' }}
** Like in everything else, [[Magnificent Bastard|Azula]] follows closely in her father's footsteps. Unlike lots of other Large Hams, she doesn't have to resort to shouting every single one of her lines. Instead she has the overwhelming charisma and just the right amount of insanity to make almost everyone cower before her instinctively. Then, once they are shaking with fear, THE HAM IS UNLEASHED!
{{quote|
'''Azula''' ''"Together, you and I will be the strongest couple in the entire world. '''[[We Can Rule Together|WE WILL DOMINATE THE EARTH!]]''''' (columns of blue fire burst from her hands)
'''Chan:''' ''"*[[Idiot Crows]]* Uh... [[No Guy Wants an Amazon|I gotta go]]."'' }}
** Azula appears just right after Season One villain Zhao was defeated (even the same episode). When it came to hamminess, her predecessor was just like her.
{{quote|
** While usually more of the [[Deadpan Snarker]] type, Toph also enjoys some really good hamming from time to time. Usually while beating the crap out of large numbers of much larger men by throwing around boulders. Among other things, giving the (intentionally) most hammy performence of the entire series:
{{quote|
''"WHOOOO!!! Toph, you rule!"''<br />
''"What's your fighting name? The Fancy Dancer?!"''<br />
''"Please, do people really want to see '''two''' little girls fighting?"'' }}
** Before any of that, we were given the [[Professional Wrestling|"Professional Earthbenders"]], especially "The Boulder." Let's see...he's a pastiche of [[Dwayne Johnson]], both in looks (sort of) and personality (Johnson's legendary character ''The Rock''), ''and'' is voiced by another professional wrestler, Mick Foley, who is a friend of The Rock's and can

** The prison warden who imprisons Haru. It helps that he's voiced by [[George Takei]].
* [[Frank Welker]] did it again with ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'''s Dr. Claw, which is impressive given the raspy deep voice he had. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh4lig9nocg&feature=related GAAAAAAAAAAAADGET!]"
** "I'll GET YOU GADGET! I'LL GET YOUUUUUUUUU!"

** Also, Troy McClure (shows the most during the musical version of ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' he stars in.)
{{quote|
'''Dr. Zaius:''' "I think you're crazy."
'''Troy:''' "I WANT A SECOND OPINION!"
'''Dr. Zaius:''' "You're also lazy." }}
* ''[[The Tick (animation)]]''. His conversational style is the verbal equivalent of [[Mundane Made Awesome]], even when he isn't monologuing about Good and Evil.
** Not to mention that in the live-action version, he was played by scene connoisseur [[Patrick Warburton]].
** Most of the villains would qualify too, particularly the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight.
Line 189 ⟶ 186:
* The Narrator of ''[[Dave the Barbarian]]'', whose thrill-packed [[Purple Prose]] is often hilariously at odds with the mundane activities shown onscreen.
** Even a small ham can be a [[Large Ham]], as evidenced by The Dark Lord [[Fluffy the Terrible|Chuckles the Silly Piggy]] And he is [[Visual Pun|MADE of ham.]]
* ''[[Freakazoid
** I guess so. Mr. Director from ''[[
** [[Ricardo Montalban|Mr. Guitierrez]] definitely counts. If you need proof, just remember that "HE IS NOT A WHEENIE! YOOOOOOU ARE THE WHEENIE!!!"

** Also to a lesser extent, Matt Frewer as Jackal. Come to think of it, Matt Frewer is a ham overall. [[Incredible Hulk|So... says... the LEADER!]]
** And, of course, Puck.

** Let's not forget Dr. Sevarius, played by the always-hammy [[Tim Curry]].
** And Thailog, who actively cultivates an [[Evil Laugh]] and genuinely revels in his villainy, though he can be dangerously understated when he ''really'' wants to be scary.
** The Archmage is also a pretty melodramatic guy.
** Don't forget Xanatos's occasional forays into [[Large Ham]] territory, though he always manages to Lampshade them. Which makes the moments hammier, since he's obviously playing it up for the sheer joy of it.
** Goliath has his hammy moments as well.

* The title character from ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'', particularly when he's monologing. Over on the villain side, we have Negaduck (whose hammy nature is befitting, as he's DW's [[Evil Twin]]), and Tuskerninni, an ex-actor/director turned criminal:
