Line 19:
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', anything involving Lobelia inevitably turns into this.
* In ''[[Baccano!]]'', someone managed to get [[Ax Crazy|Ladd Russo]] and [[Talkative Loon|Graham Specter]] into the same enclosed space for a bit. The results were...''explosive''.
** About five minutes after Graham's introduction at that!
* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'': In the Dynamic Heroes e-manga (a [[Crossover]] featuring the main [[Go Nagai]] series), Kouji Kabuto fought Great Marshall Of Hell as riding Mazinger. The two of them have very hammish tendences. It is noteworthy as it was, maybe, the first time in the history of the franchise Kouji and {{spoiler|Dr. Hell}} faced each other directly as both were riding giant robots. Too bad it was a Curb-Stomp Battle.

{{quote|'''Guy:''' I'll show you...the true power of courage!
'''Palparepa:''' You will show me?! }}
* The ''[[Angel Beats!]]'' OVA takes this [[Up to Eleven]]. As part of a plan to trick Angel, Yuri pretty much orders an Apocalypse of Ham where everyone tries to out-ham each other with the Tension Meter. If the plan fails, everyone fasts (including no water) for a week. {{spoiler|[[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Shiina]]}} of all people wins, bringing the Tension Meter up to [[Over Nine Thousand|9999]] just by saying "CUTE!!!" {{spoiler|The plan still fails, though. Good thing [[Death Is Cheap]]!}}
* [[Bleach]] gives us the amazing porkitude of Yumichika Ayasegawa vs. Charlotte Cuulhorne in the Arrancar arc. Once they call each other "ugly troll", thus pressing their same [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]], much screaming and attacking and [[Volleying Insults]] ensue. Bonus points to [[Tite Kubo]] for knowing when to stop. The fight [[Mood Whiplash|flips]] from [[Ham-to-Ham Combat]] to [[Let's Get Dangerous]] before the fandom can say "[[Curb Stomp Battle]]".
** Yumichika's best friend Ikkaku seems to have taken a page outta Yumi's book, as his fight against {{spoiler|Moe Shishigawara}} becomes in chapter 467. True to this porky tradition, {{spoiler|Ikkaku [http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/467/18 wins the fight] via giving Shishi [[Use Your Head|an absolutely massive and hammy headbutt]].}}
Line 144:
** ''The King's Demons'', for the master class in ham from Gerald Flood's King John and Anthony Ainley's Master. Gerald Flood's performance is utterly magnificent. It's been a while since they ''boilllled'' someone in ''oilll''.
** There's a truly spectacular ham-off between Colin Baker and '''[[Brian Blessed]]''' in ''The Trial Of A Time Lord'' (episodes 5-8). No wonder Peri (Nicola Bryant) left the show after this; it would be physically impossible to be exposed to such overwhelming hammy glory for more than five minutes without ending up either dead or pregnant.
** Colin Baker ''again'' in ''Timelash'' where he squares off against Paul [[Blake's
** This happens any time one of the Doctors confronts Davros.
** Don't forget showdowns between the Doctor and [[The Master]]. ''Any'' of them.
Line 152:
** Even the cast and crew weren't averse to a bit of Ham-to-Ham Combat among themselves. Roy Skelton, one of the Dalek voice actors during the classic series, says he and his colleagues would often compete with each other on set, to see who could be the most [[Evil Is Hammy|evil-sounding]] Dalek.
** In ''The Horns of Nimon'', Lalla Ward almost manages to out-ham ''Tom Baker himself''. He resists the onslaught, but then, unbelievably, they are ''both'' beaten -- completely and utterly beaten -- by Graham Crowden as Soldeed. His famous DREEEeeeAAAAaaAaAAAAms of CONquest are only the icing on the cake.
** The serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S26
* Matthew Morrison and [[Neil Patrick Harris]] in ''[[Glee]]'', competing for a role in ''[[Les Misérables (theatre)|Les Misérables]]'', singing [[Aerosmith]]'s Dream On and getting progressively [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_3-vjvPiUU more over-the-top]. It is ''unbelievably'' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]].
* In ''[[Robin of Sherwood]]'', guest star Lewis Collins and Nickolas Grace had a competition to see who could out-camp the other. The results are magnificient and full of glorious [[Ho Yay]].
Line 236:
** ''Metal Gear Solid'': Ocelot, Grey Fox, Vulcan Raven, Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, [[Say My Name|LIQUID!]]
** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'': OCELOT!, Vamp, Fortune, Fat Man, Solidus.
** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'': Ocelot, Boss, Volgin, THE PAIN!, the Fear, the Fury.
** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'': Snake, Ocelot, Raiden, Vamp, Laughing Octopus, Raging Raven, Screaming Mantis.
*** The End, the Sorrow, and Crying Wolf are probably the only villains in the entire series who are not [[Large Ham|Large Hams]], but mostly only because they can't draw the breath to yell all the time.
