<big>SOME-</big> ahem, some categories of television shows seem more prone to this type of acting than others:

* [[Cute but Cacophonic]], when characters you wouldn't expect are this, hence it's often used in comedies.

* [[Large Ham]], who probably lacks an indoor voice but gets away with it by virtue of sheer charisma.

----

 

== ADVERTISING ==

** Awesomely parodied by himself [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtYdDK1uTDI here], as he shows you how pros order food at McDonald's.

** Also parodied in ''Horrible Histories''.

* Barry Scott, known in Australia as '''BAM! AND THE DIRT IS GONE!''' Apparently the only difference between American and Australian audiences is the number of letters we tolerate in our product names. He also advertises on British television, to the extent that jokes are made about that advert on [[Mock the Week]].

** He's in New Zealand too.

** Reason TV came up with a good use for him and his style [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYTjiIm4h_Q once], though.

* A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB6TMzt2s4k TV advertisement] for Staples (an office supply store) involves a man shouting "WOW! THAT'S A LOW PRICE!" at ''every item on the shelf''.

'''Clerk 1:''' ... I'll get him a cart. }}

** A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdP8G1Uu-0c&feature=related second advertisement] follows it up with a second man who is equally surprised.

'''Man 1:''' I KNOW! }}

* That guy from the newest Old Spice commercials. You know which guy:

** That's Terry Crews, former NFL player, actor in movies like ''[[Idiocracy]]'' and ''[[The Expendables]]'', and a generally kick-ass dude all around. Buh-buh-buh-buh-BUH-buh-'''POWER!!'''

* A commercial for a sports league had [[The Fun in Funeral|on a funeral]], while the priest was talking, a man yelling ("I HAD JUST SEEN HIM LAST WEEK! HE WAS OKAY!"; "THE FLOWERS ARE REALLY NICE!").

 

== ANIME & MANGA ==

* Boy, people in ''[[Hellsing (anime)|Hellsing]]'' sure do like to yell a lot. Especially [[Large Ham|Anderson]] and [[Heroic Sociopath|Alucard]]. '''''Especially''''' when they're [[Freud Was Right|together]].

* The English dub version of ''[[Naruto]]'' is an [[Egregious]] example of this. The title character does calm down noticably as he matures through the series; especially in ''Shippuden''.

* Several characters in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', especially later on, due to [[Vocal Evolution]].

** In the Singapore dub of the series, most of the characters (''especially'' Yami) simply yell out all their lines. Even so, it is often preferred to the 4Kids version due to the script's closer translation of the original.

** As seen on the quotes page, this trope is [[Played for Laughs]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Abridged Series]].

** Tileston is apparently ''incapable'' of speaking at anything less than a shout. People are forced to accommodate this and make him stand far away when speaking to him.

** This was largely the case of Luffy's voice actress when it was dubbed by 4Kids.

* Schwardzwald from ''[[The Big O]]'' speaks extremely loudly, all the time.

* [[Stepford Smiler|Kumagawa Misogi]], the current [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Medaka Box]]'' effectively speaks in ALL CAPS, all the time.

* In ''[[Bakuman｡]]'', Nanamine initially yells so loudly when talking on the phone with his editor, Kosugi, that people sitting near Kosugi in the editorial offices can hear him.

* ''[[Super Atragon]]'': Captain Hayate has volume control issues, even when issuing otherwise routine/mundane orders.

 

== COMIC BOOKS ==

** The character's equivalent, General Caous, in the british dub of the [[Animated Adaptation]], was dubbed by none other than [[Brian Blessed]].

* [[Doctor Doom]].

* In ''[[Hitman (Comic Book)|Hitman]]'', due to a series of strange events the favorite pub and hangout of the main cast ends up with a short demon as the bartender and cook. He only seems to know three words: "I '''AM''' '''<big>BAATOR!</big>'''"

* The kids' comic ''Billy Boom: Loudboy''. The title says it all.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]''

** Espa Roba and his brothers are always talking in very loud voices, so they end up flat out ''broadcasting the fact that they're cheating''.

* ''[[Dragon Ball Abridged]]'': "I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!!!"

* Sailor Mars in "Megami 33's" [[Abridged Series]] of ''[[Sailor Moon Abridged|Sailor Moon]]'' has a voice like a shrieking harpy, as well as being an [[Emo]], Satanist, masochist and generally [[Ax Crazy]]. These traits combine somehow to form one of the biggest fan favourites. You might want to turn down the volume during episode 7, if you value your eardrums.

* In a spoof of ''[[300|Three Hundred]]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY2dhZ30axY United 300]'', the parody Leonidas definitely qualifies. Lampshaded when King "Jerxes" [sic] asks him why he shouts so much.

* Randy Hayes of ''[[My Way Entertainment]]'' is pretty much the poster boy for this trope, but it actually isn't annoying, it makes the ridiculous things he's saying even funnier.

* ''[[Deserving]]'', so very, very much. Barely a chapter goes by without at least one character yelling.

* ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]'': GOYLE RULES!

** As well as the over-all great guy, Kharne the Betrayer. Even when doing something completely mundane...

* ''[[Avatar: The Abridged Series|Avatar the Abridged Series]]'': "GENTLEMEN, THE YU-YAN ARCHERS! AND YOU CAN'T BORROW THEM!" "Sorry, got a bit carried away. The answer's still no though."

* Edfred in ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]''.

* Blud in ''[[Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami|Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami]]''. SEVERAL OF HIS LINES ARE STATEMENTS THAT END IN PERIODS, EVEN "WHISPERING" IN ONE CASE, AND ARE CAPITALIZED ANYWAY.

* [[Midnight Green]] is deaf to his own powerful voice, and casts a spell to keep it to normal levels. When he deactivates the spell, this happens.

 

== FILMS -- ANIMATION ==

* The White Witch in the animated version of ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia|The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe]]'' is about 70% this trope, 30% [[Snake Talk]].

* The Beast from ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' is always yelling/roaring, at least until he smartens up a bit. '''"[[Memetic Mutation|GET OOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTT]]"'''

 

 

== FILMS -- LIVE-ACTION ==

* Faith Dane as Miss Mazeppa in ''[[Gypsy (theatre)|Gypsy]]''.

* Used in a scene from the film ''[[Anchorman]]''. Ron Burgundy and the news team are complaining to each other about [[Naive Newcomer]] Veronica Corningstone, shouting out their feelings rather than calmly talking about the situation. The normally quiet and reserved Brick Tamland [[Lampshade Hanging|has no idea why they're yelling about]] when they're all in the same room, but plays along with them anyway.

* The title god of ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]''.

** Strangely [[Subverted]] in the graphic novel the movie was based on, where Leonidas is typically speaking in a normal voice unless the situation demands yelling.

* Spoofed in ''[[Austin Powers]]'' because shortly after he was unfrozen he had trouble controlling THE VOLUME of his voice.

* Max Bialystock from ''[[The Producers]]'', when he gets angry.

* Don't forget the Nut Vendor from ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]''...

** "HE JUST LEFT!... WITH NUTS!"

* Captain Rhodes in ''[[Day of the Dead]]'':

* While [[Jim Carrey]] often falls for it, he yells the most in ''[[Liar Liar]]''. During the trial scenes it's justified (a lawyer needs to be passionate) but on other scenes he's just frustrated ("STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!").

* Pretty much the schtick of any [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]], ''especially'' the [[Trope Codifier]], [[R. Lee Ermey|Gunnery Sergeant]] Hartman in ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''.

* [[Rob Schneider]]'s character in ''[[Down Periscope]]'' as the jittery [[Number Two]] on a [[World War Two]] diesel submarine which is supposed to go up against a modern-day navy. While's it's his job as an XO to relay [[The Captain]]'s orders for everyone to hear, he does this even when just talking to someone.

* [[Christian Bale]] in ''[[Terminator Salvation]]''. His portrayal of the elder John Connor as a military genius seems to consist of CONSTANTLY SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS VOICE NO MATTER WHAT IS HAPPENING.

* Every character in every film ever made by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0040646/ Ron Atkins].

* [[Stephen Colbert]] shouted the entire transcript into a tape recorder for ''I Am America and So Can You!''

* The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'', Shai'tan, communicates to his followers telepathically with all caps.

* In the ''[[The Phantom Tollbooth]]'', Dr. Kakofonous A. Dischord, Doctor of Dissonance, whose middle name is AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!

* ''[[Animorphs]]''

** Despite not having what we would call a "voice", Visser Three fits this trope to a "T". He seems to have no concept of private thought-speak, and constantly broadcasts everything he says to everyone in range.

** Similarly, Jake describes Crayak's "voice" as Crayak screaming at the top of his lungs.

 

== LIVE-ACTION TV ==

* ''[[Trigger Happy TV]]'' has the giant cellphone man who answers his ridiculously large phone and shouts into it as loud as possible, and does it in traditionally quiet places, such as a restaurant, or a movie theater, or an acapella concert, or even a book store.

* ''[[That's So Raven]]'', ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'', ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]''... Is the Disney Channel out to deafen us?

* [[CBBC]] seems to have "must be audible from overhead aeroplanes" as a requirement for its presenters.

** Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor, is well-known for this. Off-screen he's even [[Large Ham|hammier]].

** The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) also suffered from this quite badly in his TV Movie, though he has got over it in the [[Radio Drama|audio dramas]] to the point he has actually been described as soft-spoken.

** The Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) was possibly the shoutiest of the lot, to the point that Peri sometimes had to cover her ears during their seemingly endless arguments in the TARDIS.

** When [[Omnicidal Maniac|Davros]] removed the genes for emotions and conscience from the Daleks, he must have also removed the ones enabling them to speak quietly. As a consequence, the Daleks, even in casual conversation, scream every word out.

** Azal, in the Third Doctor serial "The Daemons". For once, the effect is ''awesome''. Partly justified by the fact that he's a 30-ft tall megalomaniac.

** The Tenth Doctor isn't immune to this trope; he does have an indoor voice, but he seems to forget this a lot.

** The Captain from "The Pirate Planet". Even the Doctor called him on that:

* ''[[24|Twenty Four]]''. JACK BAUER DEMANDS TO KNOW WHO THE TRAITOR IS AND WHERE YOU'VE HIDDEN THE PLANS. When he's not <small>dramatically whispering</small>, that is.

* As ''Entertainment Weekly'' put it whilst discussing ''[[Lord of the Flies|Kid Nation]]'', "MY NAME IS JONATHAN KARSH! I YELL LOUDER THAN ANY OTHER HOST IN REALITY SHOW HISTORY!"

** The Gumbies. "DON'T STAND THERE GAWPIN'! LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE HAND O' GOD BEFORE!"

** As well as this instance from the skit "Interesting People":

'''Mrs. Dove:''' I AGREE WITH HIM! }}

* The writers of ''[[All That]]'' apparently thought that if you couldn't think of a joke, just have a character act loud and obnoxious. Ms. Hushbaum in particular. The fact that she was a rather noisy librarian in addition to enforcing the rules by constantly screaming at the top of her lungs made her an example of [[Hypocritical Humor]]. Not to mention Billy Fucco.

* Dustin Hoffman in the TV movie version of ''[[Death of a Salesman]]''. He starts at about 7 or 8, cranks it up to 11 in the first five minutes and then never backs down a peg. It makes the whole play Dustin Hoffman SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS! YOU CAN'T EAT THE ORANGE AND THROW THE PEEL AWAY!!!! A MAN IS NOT A PIECE OF FRUIT!!!! It gets tiring.

* Anything played by Matt Berry ([[The IT Crowd|Douglas Reynholm]]. ''[[Garth Marenghi's Darkplace]]'', Dr. Lucian Sanchez. "WHAT?! AM I HOLDING A CROCK OF SHIT? IS THIS HOSPITAL CALLED 'ST. CROCK OF SHIT'?"

* Regis freakin' Philbin, especially on ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]''

* ''[[The Young Ones]]'': Rick and Vyvyan shout constantly at the top of their lungs. The latter gets bonus points for already possessing the ''vox humana'' equivalent of broken glass in a wood chipper.

* ''[[Frasier]]'': Chopper Dave got a little too used to reporting from a helicopter.

* In one episode of ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', The Cat [[Crowning Moment of Funny|brought a megaphone to a movie]], [[Cloudcuckoolander|for some reason]]:

'''The Cat:''' ''(puts down megaphone)'' [[Jabba Table Manners|No, eating is when the food goes in your mouth!]] }}

* Played for laughs with the Crazy Warehouse Guy on ''[[The Chaser's War on Everything|The Chasers War On Everything]]''.

* Played for laughs on ''[[Chappelle's Show|Chapelles Show]]'', when Dave does his "Samuel Jackson Beer" sketch. He spends the entirety of it pretending to be Jackson and shouting his lines at people, which he acknowledges that he does.

'''Chappelle:''' NO, I CAN'T STOP YELLING, 'CAUSE THAT'S HOW I TALK! AIN'T YOU NEVER SEEN MY MOVIES? ''DEEP BLUE SEA''? THEY ATE ME! A F*** ING SHARK ATE ME! ''JURASSIC PARK''? }}

* Crazy Steve from ''[[Drake and Josh]]''. Someone even once told him to use his indoor voice, and he continued shouting.

* ''[[Zoey 101]]'' had Coach Keller, who had few appearances but was always loud.

* ''[[Victorious]]''

** Tori in the episode "Sleepover at Sikowitz's". "I AM A POLICE OFFICER!" And stuff like that.

* Ty Pennington, on ''Extreme Makeover: Home Edition''. Not only does the man usually forget he has an indoor voice, but the producers decided to give him a ''loud-hailer'', like police use in crowd control, as a gimmick.

* On ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'', Andy Samberg's head park ranger is pretty much always yelling, much to the annoyance of the staff.

* ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' has Jason Lee Scott, the first Red Ranger. He was pretty loud most of the time out of suit, but morphed, he shouted ''everything''. The man was living evidence of why this trope works [[Narm Charm|best]] mixed 1:1 with [[Captain Obvious]].

* ''Mad Money'' host Jim Cramer.

* Dalton Rumba on ''[[Glee]]''. Partially justified because he's deaf in one ear, but DAMN! '''SCARLET FEVER!!'''

* Jeremy Brett's performance as [[Sherlock Holmes]] features ample amounts of this trope; Holmes is prone of shifting from near-whisper to shouting his lungs out at a moment's notice, sometimes accompanied by complete ignorance of furniture or other obstacles as he skips to meet his newest client, or Watson with some new clue at hand.

* ''[[X-Play]]'' comedy character CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY CRAAAAAAZY ADAM!!!

* Ms. Wolowitz in ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''.

* [[Hard Gay]] is almost always shouting. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one episode when a clerk tells him to keep his voice down, and he responds, "NO VOLUME CONTROL, HOOO!"

* ''[[Horrible Histories]]'' invokes this at various times. Most notably with the "I'M A SHOUTY MAN!" sketches which crop up in various episodes. Other notable sketches include one from S1E5 with Caligula "THINK YOU'RE BIGGER THAN ME?".

* The one rule of ''[[National Bingo Night]]'': you need a loud commissioner that can pull off a good "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ BINGO!". Preferably Indian.

* Sometimes, this came from the announcer's booth on ''[[The Price Is Right]]''. When longtime announcer Rod Roddy fell ill in the early 2000s, Paul Boland (formerly of the 1998 revival of ''[[Match Game]]'') did a week of guest announcing. The staff asked him to tone down his delivery; he refused, and never set foot in studio 33 again.

* Joel Godard, the announcer on ''[[Late Night]]'' during the [[Conan O'Brien]] era. Just [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SykVp7ZMSRM listen] to him shriek "CO-nan '''''O-BRIIIIII-YUUUUUUUUUHHN!!!!!'''''"

* Richard Karn during his hosting tenure on ''[[Family Feud]]''. He would ''always'' yell "I'M DOUBLING/TRIPLING THE POINTS!!" at the start of the Double and Triple rounds, "TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!" during Fast Money, and in general displayed an utter lack of indoor voice.

 

 

== POETRY ==

* The title character in W.S. Gilbert's 1866 poem "King Borria Bungalee Boo".

A horrible, horrible yell!'' }}

 

* Paul Allen, the radio voice of the Minnesota Vikings. Probably best known for his [[Big No]] during [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_wfYAGosi4 this Tecmo-Bowl-recreated play]

* Dick Bremer, television announcer for the Minnesota Twins, personifies this trope when anything interesting on the field is happening.

 

 

== COMEDY ==

* In Dane Cook's routine regarding the horrors of working the drive-thru at Burger King, he asks why some people feel the need to YELL at the speaker.

'''Customer:''' '''WHOPPER! NO ONION! ''<big>LARGE FRIES!</big>''''' }}

 

 

== TABLETOP GAMES ==

** Ahem. '''ALL SINNERS FEAR THE EMPEROR'S WRATH!!!''' Oh, wait, the sinners in the back couldn't hear me. *Ahem* '''<big>[[World of Ham|ALL SINNERS FEAR THE EMPEROR'S WRATH!!!]]</big>''' There. Now all the sinners in the building are deaf.

** In the grim dark future of the 41st millennium, the people with the loudest voices hold the highest ranks. How else are the soldiers going to hear your orders across a noisy battlefield?

** Somewhere hidden deep within years of canon are the Shoutaboyz, orks with abnormally loud and carrying voices, who yell to comunicate between villages, <big>airplanes</big>, '''<big>AND GARGANTS!!!!</big>'''

* In ''[[Exalted]]'', Malfeas, the [[Genius Loci|Demon]] [[Malevolent Architecture|City]], has particular talents in ostentatiousness, force, and rulership. A common fan depiction has him spending his entire time with his volume turned up to about nineteen.

 

 

* ''[[Tales (series)]]''

** From ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'': Asch never seems to stop yelling whenever he talks to Luke.

** And from ''[[Tales of Destiny]] 2'', {{spoiler|as well as a [[Bonus Boss]] in ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'',}} the eternally angry Barbatos Goetia.

* TV-Head Shout Guy (a.k.a. "The Director") from ''[[Mondo Medicals]]''. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT A CANCER IS?" Made even WORSE by the fact that his spoken "language" sounds like the result of asking a really bad voice synthesizer to say "thjedhg!!2@#@." At maximum volume.

* Kratos from the ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' series. Though he is a man of few words, when he actually speaks he does so in such a powerful, loud voice that all of Greece can probably hear him threatening the gods with bloody death. Then again, given the size of the opponents he fights (the Colossus of Rhodes, the Hydra, he's communicated on several occasions with Titans), maybe he's just trying to make sure they don't have to strain to hear him. Regardless, Kratos can out-shout even Leonidas any day. Must be something about those Spartans... Add to that his overly dramatic dialogue and inflection and it can sound almost cheesy.

"THE GODS LIED TO ME!!!" }}

* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'': "CRY SOME MORE!!!" "HEY BOYS IT'S A SPAH!" "THIS IS MY WORLD, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY WORLD!" "THAT'S THE WAY Y'DO IT!" "GO ON, RAGE QUIT, MAKE US BOTH HAPPY!" "I AM FULLY CHARGED!" "JAA-RATE!" The only class that doesn't yell is Spy since he's supposed to be stealthy. Pyro yells, but you can't understand a word anyway.

* In ''[[First Encounter Assault Recon|F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin]]'', Colonel Richard Vanek ''does not'' talk quietly. Even when he's talking in a "normal" tone, he's practically yelling at the top of his lungs. This is typically punctuated by [[Cluster F-Bomb|lots of swearing]].

* Some demons in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' games speak in all caps when they speak.

* Captain Cid in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' has just two kinds of speaking: Shouting and yelling.

* Also Fujin from ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''. She speaks explicitly in ALL CAPS. And [[Terse Talker|few words]]. For example, rather than ask "Where is Ellone?" she says "ELLONE. WHERE?" It was actually meant to translate the fact that in the original Japanese version, her speech is entirely in Sino-Japanese ideographs (i.e. no phonetic hiragana/katakana ''at all'', which is very unusual for ordinary Japanese speech and writing).

* Doctor N. Gin in the Radical Entertainment ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' games. That is all.

"NOT MY THROAT!! I need that for swallowing!! GUARDS!!" }}

* ''[[Blue Dragon]]'' gives us Marumaro, whose combination of no volume control, screeching virtually all of the time, and a oddly disturbing crush on Zola makes him [[The Scrappy]] to many fans. And even if he's not, they usually agree on his voice.

** Inverted with boss dialogues which are shown as "X yells Y," yet the actual audio files are (generally) spoken at a normal level.

** Played straight just as often, however, with many bosses and NPCs relentlessly roaring their dialogue at the top of their lungs.

* Princess Daisy from ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]]'' gradually got louder as games went on, getting particularly loud in games such as Mario Party 8. And [[Most Annoying Sound|irritating.]]

* EVERY CHARACTER IN ''[[Chrono Cross]]'' HAS A PERSONAL [[Verbal Tic]]. ZOAH'S IS TO SPEAK IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME LIKE THIS AND FANS TEND TO INTERPRET IT AS HIM YELLING CONSTANTLY.

* Messenger Sparks from ''[[Armed and Dangerous (video game)|Armed and Dangerous]]''. This is either a cause or an effect of his near-deafness, which leads to [[Hilarity Ensues]] when he's forced to conduct negotiations between the [[Evil Overlord]] and the noble bandits who have 'kidnapped' his son.

* Asura from ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'', even more so than Kratos.

 

 

** Also Crack Stuntman. Oddly, the character he voices doesn't have that problem.

* Caboose misses the point of an argument between Church and Wash in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'':

'''Caboose:''' And why didn't someone give me something to yell about? }}

 

 

== WEB COMICS ==

* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''

** The gang is sneaking invisibly around a bunch of goblins. They all make "Move Silently" checks.

'''Roy:''' Shut up. Now. }}

** '''<big>[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0766.html "BESIDES, I GOT A 9 THIS TIME!"]</big>'''

* ''[[Looking for Group]]'' has Tim, a none-too-bright troll who at one point uses '''"DIS MY INSIDE VOICE"''' as a warcry. That may have also been his internal monologue.

* Philia, Phobia's sparring partner from her Amazon days, in ''[[Gastrophobia]]''.

'''Phobia:''' ''(whispering)'' Yeah, I must've had a '''much''' higher tolerance for whining as a teenager. }}

* ''[[Questionable Content]]''

** Also, the Deathbot 9000 from #642. Dora very nearly describes him with the exact name of this trope in the following strip.

* Jolly the Giant from ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' always speaks in giant letters. [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20100605.html Even when she's whispering.]

* ''[[Homestuck]]''

** Karkat isn't the only troll who incorporates at least some all caps text in his chats and speech, but he's the one who best plays this trope straight.

** If ''Homestuck'' partially defines this trope as a character who types or speaks in some variant of all caps, then Tavros and Terezi subvert it. {{spoiler|[[Ax Crazy]] Gamzee}} falls within this trope {{spoiler|half the time.}} The WV, the AR, and other Exiles speak like this in the kids' and trolls' heads at times.

* At one point in ''[[Dubious Company]]'' the cast is [[Brought Down to Normal]]. It takes a while for [[Catgirl|Tiren]] to catch on.

'''Tiren:''' ''(feels human ears)'' GODS, I HATE THIS PLACE! }}

 

== WEB ORIGINAL ==

* Marcus of ''[[Mega 64]]'' is always yelling. Once when asked to be quiet, he said that "THIS IS AS QUIET AS I GET! I CAN GO LOUDER IF YOU WANT!" In a weird twist, Marcus only lowers his voice when he is extremely angry.

* ''Team Fortress 2'' player ChoZo combines this with [[Cluster F-Bomb]] and [[MANLINESS]] as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfCiOzL7cYs his schtick.]

* Glorion of ''[[Journey Quest]]'' tends to lose his indoor voice whenever he's excited, which is most of the time.

* HEEEYYY YAAALLL!!! IT'S BIG FAT BLUBLEUHBLEUHBLEUHBLEHU [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CQH_G6XRuE REVEREND BURN HERE AGAIN!!!!]

* Larry of ''[[Nitro Game Injection]]'' is, according to himself, "a very loud black man." Even when he does try to be quiet, he's loud.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgzgUqO41ps&list=UUawNAbFL1fBlxCeXRsoo-xw&index=5&feature=plcp Yaplap]

** And don't forget Little Red Riding Hood, whose voice seemed to randomly fluctuate between what would be expected of a little girl and a yell with an almost foghorn-like quality.

* The king of constant yelling, [[Looney Tunes|Yosemite Sam]], has a voice so loud and boisterous that it eventually took a huge toll on [[Mel Blanc]]'s voice. (Sam also liked to punctuate his sentences by firing off one or more of the loaded pistols he kept about his person. In case you've only seen guns on television, they are VERY LOUD when they go off in real life.)

'''Sam:''' ''OH YEAH?'' WELL I SPEAK '''LOOOOUUUUUDDD!''' AND I CARRY A '''''BIIIIIIIIIGER STICK!''''' }}

* [[Tex Avery]]'s MGM short ''Rock-a-bye Bear'' has Spike the Bulldog hired as a winter caretaker for a hibernating bear who keeps demanding quiet in the [[Hypocritical Humor|loudest voice imaginable]].

* ''[[Transformers]]''

** Siren has been written this way:

'''Siren:''' RIGHT. SORRY. }}

** Siren was raised in the Sonic Canyons, where constant ear-splitting noise is a part of everyday life. He's probably never going to adjust properly, all told. Also, he's an police car; do you ''really'' want him to be quiet?

* ''[[Family Guy]]''

** Ollie combines this trope with [[Beige Prose]] to get the point across...

'''Tom:''' Thank you, Ollie. }}

** And of course...

'''Tom:''' All right, we'll get on that. }}

** From the opening of "Lois Kills Stewie":

'''Tom Tucker:''' Thanks Ollie, and now part two! }}

** (After Tucker's son is arrested for possession of drugs):

'''Ollie:''' ''HE GON' GET IT!'' }}

** When marijuana is legalized in Quahog and the entire population is perpetually stoned, he finally speaks at a normal indoor voice.

'''Ollie:''' Ain't too bad. }}

** And then there's ''Jeff''. His voice is so loud and irritating.

* Binky the Clown from ''[[Garfield and Friends]]''. ''"HEEEEEEY KIDS!"''

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''

** Parodied in one episode where Homer is mad about something and is yelling. Marge tells him to use his indoor voice, and he replies "''I DON'T HAVE AN INDOOR VOICE!''"

* Lampshaded in the Band Geeks episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', Squidward mentions that "Being loud makes you sound smart" in response to the mediocre quality of the band he is in (which Plankton backs up by shouting ''"CORRECT!"''). Squidward then goes on to suggest that if the band plays really, ''really'' loudly, people will think they're good. Of course, it backfires....

* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''

** Also, the Grand Galactic Inquisitor shouts everything over its built-in loudspeaker, then shouts, "IGNORE ME!" if someone responds.

* ''The Man Who Yelled'', from the Mo Willems short film of the same name.

* The cast of ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' can be easily divided between those who do have an indoor voice (Mac, Herriman, Wilt) and those who don't (Bloo, Cheese, Eduardo, Coco).

* One could say Dil, of ''[[Stickin' Around]]'' has No Indoor Voice, if his voice wasn't ridiculously loud for being Outdoors as well.

* Dr. Weird on ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]''. GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD!!

* In the ''[[Daria]]'' episode "Fair Enough", Quinn's role in a school play causes her little worry until Sandi comments on the "unusual inflections" in the way Quinn says her lines. This gets under Quinn's skin. A later resultant line is spoken with emphasis on ''every'' word: "I ''will'' make a ''dainty'' gar''land'' for my ''head'' and ''sing!'' Laa, la la LAH!..."

** Phil Ken Sebben is a more than a little guilty. ''"I'M SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED BUT I'VE GOT JUST THE'' '''''[[Eyepatch of Power|ONE EYE!]]"'''''

** Shado the Brain Thief takes this trope to its logical conclusion. Not only does he have no indoor voice, he has no indoor ''thoughts''. Literally every thought he thinks is broadcast into the minds of everyone nearby at a deafening volume. A custodian takes a broom to a nearby PA speaker in an attempt to silence the noise.

* Zim from ''[[Invader Zim]]'' shouts almost every sentence.

* ''[[Metalocalypse]]''

** Nathan Explosion speaks with a [[Guttural Growler|death metal growl]] all the time.

* Professor Dementor in ''[[Kim Possible]]''.

** Dr. Drakken fits this trope at times.

* Candace and Dr. Doofenshmirtz from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''.

* ''[[The Brak Show]]'' has [[Super Robot|Thundercleese]], who pretty much shouts all the time, as well as Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:

'''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' THE RIVER OF HEADS IS IN YAR! THIS I CAN ASSURE YOU! AH HA HA HA HA HA! }}

* ''[[Duckman]]''. One example from an episode where Duckman was going through hallucinations of alternate realities:

* ''[[Futurama]]''

** News anchor Morbo, of course. MORBO MOCKS YOUR PUNY TROPES PAGE! IT WILL BE DESTROYED IN THE UPCOMING INVASION! Now Linda with entertainment.

** Both voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]], of course.

* From ''[[The Dover Boys]]'', we have Dan Backslide ([[Insistent Terminology|coward-bully-cad-and-thief]]).

''A runabout!'' I'll '''STEAL IT!''' '''''NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!!!!''''' }}

* Princess Luna from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', as part of an outdated royal protocol, speaks in a deep, booming voice meant to "impress." It doesn't exactly go over well with the citizens of Ponyville.

* In ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness|Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness]]'', Temutai has this habit which matches his [[Large and In Charge]] presence.

* In ''[[Adventure Time]]'', Lemongrab seems to have a problem with this. He's almost always shouting or talking extremely loudly. Whether he's aware of this is unclear, as his voice is naturally high-pitched and shrill, and he's almost always angry. "IF ANYONE NEEDS ME I'LL BE TAKING A NAP!!!"

* Benson from ''[[Regular Show]]''. He actually deafens {{spoiler|Mordecai and Rigby}} one time.
