{{trope}}

 

A [[Camera Tricks|Camera Trick]] where the camera is placed directly over the actor, pointing down, while the actor looks up into the camera and screams. For extra [[Large Ham|hamtacularity]], the camera may even be [[Everything's Better with Spinning|spinning]].

 

== Comic Books ==

* '''''[[Dr. Doom|RICHAAAAARDS!!!!!]]'''''

** And recently, [[The Hulk|BAAANNNNERR!]]

* Also in Cerebus.

** CLAREMONT!!!!!!!!!

 

* In the ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' machinima ''A Day in the Life of a Commissar'', Commissar Steeve does this when he's told there's no coffee left. Also parodied...

* In ''[[Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'', [[The Heroine|Rainbow Dash]]unleashes a chilling scream by the end of chapter 11, reason being {{spoiler|Gilda betraying her trust and breaking Medley's wings}}.

** And again, when he realizes he [[Unrequited Love|cannot have]] Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. ''"STAAAAUGH-MOS!"''

* Wade in the first season finale of ''[[Sliders]]'': NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

* In the TV movie finale of [[Prison Break]], T-Bag does this. "SCOOFIEEELD! SCOOOOOOOOOFIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELD!"

* Parodied in an episode of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]?'' During a game of Weird Newswcasters (in which the comedians had to portray certain characters while being in a newscast), Ryan (the weatherman) was assigned a character of a self-centered actor about to give his "Oscar-worthy performance". Ryan finished off his bit with his character bellowing his last line as he looked up towards an overhead camera—while ''he'' spun instead of the camera. The audience burst out into applause at the end. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOCJcFy6QsQ View the whole game here (Ryan's performance starts at around 2:40)]

** [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|I AM TALKING!]]

** "WHOOO.... AM.... IIIIIIIIIII?!?!"

* Done twice on ''[[Dexter]]'', both involving the {{spoiler|serial-killers-o'-the-season}}: in season three there's a "MIGUEEEEEELL!", complete with [[Berserk Button|room-smashing]] {{spoiler|although it was revealed he was just imagining how he'd like to react}}, and in season four, after {{spoiler|the Trinity Killer evades his clutches once again}}, "ARRTHURRRR!"

* Used in ''I Shouldn't Be Alive'', to emphasize a stranded survivor's isolation as they yell for help and the camera zooms out to show they're alone in the midst of hostile terrain.

* ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' wrings a [[Big No]] from {{spoiler|Eoleo}} this way during the {{spoiler|Grave Eclipse, when his father dies of monster-inflicted wounds.}}

* Miguel in ''[[Tekken]] 6'', on his [[Dead Little Sister]].

== Web Comics ==

* A running gag in ''[[PvP]]''.

* From ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'', when the normally unflappable Katy-Ann discovers Jack's beer stash after he's promised to stay sober: "HE ''HAS'' '''''ME!'''''"

* ''[[Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi]]'' gives us one combined with a [[Big No]], from Professor Utonium, in response to the dreaded news of {{spoiler|having to attend a Parent-Teacher Conference, for Buttercup.}}

* Wouldn't you know, in another TGWTG example, [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] does it in the "previously on..." segment at the start of Uncanny X-Men 424, "IIIIINSAAAAAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

* [[Dragon Ball Abridged|MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!]]

* [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]]'s [[Bad Bad Acting|poorly-done]] home movie series ''Dangeresque'' features the title character and his partner yelling the villain Perducci's name like this. In ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]: Dangeresque 3'' it becomes a running gag, with Dangeresque almost unable to say Perducci's name without screaming it.
