Line 16:
** "Sonic fell for it! Tails is ours! I'll have to give myself a '''Prrrromotion!'''"
** "Snoo[[Youtube Poop|PING AS]] usual, I seeeeee..."
** The monologue at the beginning of "Blackbot the Pirate" is a veritable banquet of ham.
** It's not one of his most known quotes, but easily the quote of Robotnik's that best describes him is "300 pounds of ham!"
* Coach McGuirk from ''[[Home Movies]]'', especially in the Episode where he's deprived of sleep.
Line 178:
'''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 204:
{{quote|"'''Don't interrupt!''' I'm on a ''roll!''"}}
** 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.
Line 238:
* Mrs. Claus introduces Snow Miser in ''[[So Bad It's Good|The Year Without]] [[Christmas Special|a Santa Claus]]'' by saying "Here he comes, the big ham."
** His brother, the Heat Miser, might actually be an even bigger ham.
*** That's a mystery but they're hammy in their own special as well.
* Both Jabba The Hutt and his evil uncle Ziro in ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]''. Ziro in particular seeing as his voice is based on Truman Capote. ''One day Ah'll rule tha hutts!''.
* Most characters on ''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey]]'' act like this. Jake Spidermonkey being the most obvious example.
Line 271:
** Master Shake as well.
** On the villain side, Doctor Wongburger and balloon Hitler.
* Mother Brain of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', who was voiced by the lead singer of The Four Tops. Always dramatic, always flamboyant, always fantastic.
* The eponymous Big Guy of [[Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot (animation)|Big Guy and Rusty The Boy Robot]] is prone to making pronouncements like this one: "'''No not of this Earth surgical probe wielding invaders are going to deprive this planet's children, and their growing bones, of even one glass of wholesome milk!'''" The contrast between the understated, somewhat cynical Lieutenant Hunter and the overblown, jingoistic personality he takes on while piloting the Big Guy mech goes a long way to explain why almost no one ever catches on that they are one and the same.
* [[Vain Sorceress|Lydia]] from ''[[Barbie and the Diamond Castle]]'' definitely comes off as one of these, especially considering her [[It's All About Me|villainous motivation]].
Line 282:
** ''Urban Jungle'': "'''''I AM EVERYWHERE!!!'''''"
* [[Fairly Oddparents|While we're on the topic of Butch Hartman]], why is [[Evil Teacher|Denzel Q Crocker]] such a huge ham? There's only one logical explanation...'''[[Catch Phrase|FAIRY GOD PARENTS!]]'''
** Mark Chang.
*** '''''MANURE! THAT'S LIKE, THE RAREST OF ALL DELICACIES ON MY PLANET! WHY ARE YOU WASTING SUCH A DELICIOUS TREAT ON SUCH HIDEOUS PETUNIAS?!?!?!?!'''''
*** '''''AAAHH!! THE CUTENESS!!! IT BURNS!!!'''''
*** I will suck out your brains...'''''through these bendy straws'''''!
** Dr. Rip Studwell, as voiced by Mr Hartman himself.
* Johnny from Tales Of Worm Paranoia from ''[[What a Cartoon Show]]''. "YOU FILTHY CHILDREN!"
* Alvin from ''[[Sabrina the Animated Series]]''. "Don't EVER laugh at me!"
* Brother Blood from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has a flair for the dramatic and a tendency to go quite over the top when his plans are working (or when they're not and he's angry at someone because of it, for that matter). [[Word of God]] says this was done deliberately to make a contrast with the previous two seasons' [[Big Bad]], [[Creepy Monotone|Slade]].
** [[Harmless Villain|NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE BRILLIANCE OF DR. LIGHT!]]
* The singer for the Dutch ''[[DuckTales]]'' opening hams up the singing to a new cholesterol level. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U9nhv4D56o Hear it for yourself.]
Line 313:
** The [[Big Bad]] King K. Rool. I dare anybody to find a line of his that isn't hammy to some extent.
* '''''[[Catch Phrase|LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN']], TV TROPES!!''''' '''NO ALIEN IS AS HAMMY AS [[Ben 10: Alien Force|RATH]] IS! [[Boisterous Bruiser|WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT]]?! COME ON, ''[[Proud Warrior Race Guy|LET'S FIGHT]]'''''!!!
** Albedo demands "BRING ME CHILLI FRIES!"
* ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters|Filmations Ghostbusters]]'' is, in many people's opinion, a fairly tedious animated series. However, it does have the magnificently malevolent Prime Evil as portrayed by Alan Oppenheimer. Prime Evil alone makes it well worth the price of admission.
* Nigel Thornberry of ''[[The Wild Thornberrys]]'', voiced by Tim Curry, is pure ham.
Line 328:
* Omi, Raimundo, and most of the villains from ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]'' for that matter.
* Skipper from ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]''. Especially evident in the episode "In the Line of Doody."
{{quote|Skipper: [[Punctuated!
Kowalski: Sooo... were those dramatic pauses really necessary then? <br />
Skipper: (Dramatic pause) Yes. }}
Line 355:
{{quote|'''Hot plate. Very hot plate.'''}}
* Judy and Roger from ''[[Doug]]''.
* Ren from ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]''.
* Next time you sit down and watch ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', remember to bring a plate because chances are [[Tabitha St. Germain]] is gonna fill it with liberal amounts of ham. She could easily out-ham [[Brian Blessed]] at times.
** When Rarity turns on the histrionics, she turns on the ham as well. You ''will'' believe a pony can ham.
*** The best part about Rarity's hamming is that if someone out-hams her, she goes out of her way to out-ham them.
