''(points to Billy Mays, who looks insulted)''}} 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''. {{quote\|'''Shouty Man:''' I'M A SHOUTY MAN, AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT...}} * Roni Lynn Deutch.{{context}} * 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. Line 99 ⟶ 97: 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. King Neptune from the Fishman Island Arc is a [[Large and In Charge]] ruler who tends to shout ''everything'' he says in his loud, booming voice. * 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. Line 107 ⟶ 106: * ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'': Sanada Freaking Yukimura. His voice seems to have two modes. Quiet contemplation, and '''SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS A LOT!''' * [[Keet\|Shou]] and [[The Idiot From Osaka\|Erika]] from ''[[Ginga e Kickoff!!\|Ginga E Kickoff]]'' have a sort of competition on who can out-loud the other. == COMIC BOOKS == Line 131 ⟶ 129: * ''[[Deserving]]'', so very, very much. Barely a chapter goes by without at least one character yelling. * ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]'': GOYLE RULES! * [[Image Boards\|/tg/'s]] [[Original Character\|homebrew]] chapter of ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]]'' [[Space Marines]], [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Angry_Marines the Angry Marines], are a mixture of this, [[Obligatory Swearing]] and [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]. [[Department of Redundancy Department\|They are angry for the Emperor]] [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|and skittles]]. {{quote\|'''[[Memetic Mutation\|"ALWAYS ANGRY, ALL THE TIME!"]]'''}} ** As well as the over-all great guy, Kharne the Betrayer. Even when doing something completely mundane... Line 138 ⟶ 136: * 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. * ''[[A Hero (fan work)\|A Hero]]'' is a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' crossover, which has this trope in the form of Dalek Sec who, being a Dalek, has no concept of an Indoor Voice. Or of subtlety. * [[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. Line 144 ⟶ 142: == 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]]. * Many are like this, especially Speedy in [[Spark Plug Entertainment]]'s ''[[A Car's Life: Sparky's ~~Big Adventure\|A Cars Life Sparkys~~ Big Adventure]]''. * The Beast from ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' is always yelling/roaring, at least until he smartens up a bit. '''"[[Memetic Mutation\|GET OOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTT]]"''' * ''[[Beowulf (film)\|Beowulf]]'': "I! AM! BEOWULF!" He wasn't just shouting in [[This Is Sparta]] fashion. He shouted CONSTANTLY. ~~3/4~~- you'd swear three-fourths of his dialogue was SCREAMED at the top of his lungs~~. Little to no exaggeration~~. Line 181 ⟶ 179: * [[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. * Harry Potter has a lot of difficulty keeping his voice at a normal volume in ''[[~~Harry Potter/~~Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Order of ~~The~~the Phoenix (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''. Even when he's not in CAPSLOCK!Harry mode, you can make a drinking game out of the number of times Ron or Hermione indicate that he's getting unnecessarily loud for the situation. Semi-justified in that Harry appears to be suffering from a mild form of PTSD and gets frustrated a lot. * ''[[Gulliver's ~~Travels\|Gullivers~~ Travels]]'': Gulliver has to develop this when he was in Brobdingnag in order for the sixty-foot tall inhabitants to even hear him. Naturally, when he got back to England he was still yelling out of habit. * 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. * The titular Owen Meany from ''[[A Prayer for Owen Meany]]'' by [[John Irving]]. == LIVE-ACTION TV == Line 303 ⟶ 301: * 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. * Gus Johnson, a football and basketball announcer for [[CBS]] and the play-by-play announcer of ''[[Madden NFL\|Madden NFL 11 and 12]]''. Some examples can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgeqrYxu_YM here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9Q-agrk-jc here]. And [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027164135/http://www.gusjohnsongetsbuckets.com/ here]. (And how.) Line 314 ⟶ 312: == TABLETOP GAMES == * ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]]'' ** 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. * ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' had Zhyzhak, the signature [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation\|Black Spiral Dancer]]. Her little form of Wyrm-touched madness was an inability to control the volume of her voice, making the MOST MUNDANE ANNOUNCEMENTS sound like fevered ranting. Line 332 ⟶ 330: {{quote\|"AAARRRREEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" "ATHENA?! YOU CONSPIRE AGAINST ME?!" "'''[[Chewing the Scenery\|ZEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!!!!!!]]'''" "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. Line 338 ⟶ 336: * 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. * ''[[~~Blaz Blue~~BlazBlue]]'' ** The two resident [[Large Ham]]s that illustrate the difference between that trope and this quite well. While Hakumen is merely overly dramatic ''all the time'', [[Highly-Visible Ninja\|Bang Shishigami]] apparently doesn't come with a volume knob that goes lower than 11 (oddly enough, [[Refuge in Audacity\|it works for him]]). Consider the following, which could come from any match with Bang: {{quote\|"''Instant Ninpo! Critical Super Crash! Hurricane Bang Kick! To rid this world of evil, I will become... the HAMMER OF JUSTICE!''"}} Line 370 ⟶ 368: * Asura from ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'', even more so than Kratos. {{quote\|"I, remember now. You Bastards! '''AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'''!"}} * In ''[[Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective\|Ghost Trick]]'', one of the major characters is an [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead\|occasionally-deceased]] [[Cute but Cacophonic\|Pomeranian]] named Missile. He often gets '''A LITTLE OVEREXCITED!!!''' and starts speaking in giant text. Line 392 ⟶ 390: == WEB COMICS == * T-Rex from ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'' talks loudly all the time. The series [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshades]] this, when T-Rex claims that "If we were indoors right now, I'm pretty sure I'd just be as loud and proud as ever." He then proceeds to rebel against the concept of the indoor voice, but notes "[https://web.archive.org/web/20090427115040/http://www.qwantz.com/archive/000585.html the revolution has ended due to lack of interest!]" * ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' The gang is sneaking invisibly around a bunch of goblins. They all make "Move Silently" checks. Line 411 ⟶ 409: 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.] * ''[[Atomic Laundromat]]'': Something of a liability when you have [https://web.archive.org/web/20130906183040/http://www.atomiclaundromat.com/2010/08/11/indoor-voice/ sonic powers]. * ''[[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. Line 424 ⟶ 422: == 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. * ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130521024809/http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/527807 John of War]'' plays it for laughs. * ''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!!!!] * ''[[Loading Ready Run]]'' has [https://web.archive.org/web/20130116173133/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/1697-Split-Decision this sketch] about a man who literally cannot turn off his announcer voice. * 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] Line 506 ⟶ 504: 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. * On ''[[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~OddParents]]'', this applies to a lot of characters, including Timmy, Cosmo, Vicky, and Crocker. * Zim from ''[[Invader Zim]]'' shouts almost every sentence. * ''[[Metalocalypse]]'' Nathan Explosion speaks with a [[Guttural Growler\|death metal growl]] all the time. And Dr. Rockso the Rock n' Roll clown yells constantly, too. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120806201305/http://video.adultswim.com/metalocalypse/rockzo-on-top-of-the-world.html Though there's a reason for that.] He likes to remind everyone (and squirrels) that HE DOES COCAINE! A LOT OF COCAINE! * Professor Dementor in ''[[Kim Possible]]''. ** Dr. Drakken fits this trope at times. Line 518 ⟶ 516: {{quote\|'''Mom:''' Well, Rhonda, I think the table is quite squared away-- '''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' I AM RHONDA, OF THE SEVENTH LEVEL OF YAR! '''Mom:''' Yes, [[Department of Redundancy Department\|you've mentioned that quite a few times.]] Is there anything I can do to help in the kitchen? '''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' NO! THE FOOD HAS BEEN ARRANGED! '''Mom:''' Well then, I suppose we should join the boys in-- '''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' THE DAY OF JUDGMENT IS AT HAND! '''Mom:''' Um, alright, if you say so-- '''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' YOU WILL BE JUDGED! SO SAYETH THE SCRIBES OF YAR! '''Mom:''' You know Rhonda, I'm not even sure if I know where "Yar" is. '''Rhonda of the Seventh Level of Yar:''' YOU'LL FIND OUT... WHEN YOUR SOUL IS BELCHED FORTH AND DEVOURED UPON THE SHORE OF THE RIVER OF HEADS! '''Mom:''' Oh dear. '''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: Line 535 ⟶ 533: ** Both voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]], of course. * From ''[[The Dover Boys]]'', we have Dan Backslide ([[Insistent Terminology\|coward-bully-cad-and-thief]]). {{quote\|'''Dan Backslide:''' [[Incoming Ham\|CONFOUND]] [[Large Ham\|THOSE DOVER BOYS!]] THEY DRIVE ME TO [[I Need a Freaking Drink\|DRINK!!!]] ''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. Line 547 ⟶ 545: '''God:''' '''ARTHUR CAN EAT MY ASS.''' }} ** The Spartan in the ''Film/300'' spoof {{quote\|Spartan: [[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|THIS IS DECAF]] Spartan: [[Two and A Half Men\|THIS ISN'T FUNNY]] Spartan: THIS IS MARTHA Spartan: THIS IS SCRUMPTIOUS }} Line 555 ⟶ 553: [[Category:Dialogue]] [[Category:No Indoor Voice]] [[Category:Self-Demonstrating Article]] [[Category:Ham Index]]
