Line 198:
* [[Ian McKellen]]'s delivery in ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' is full of this.
* ''[[Godzilla]]''. [[Godzilla (film)|The 1998 American version]], even more so.
** Speaking of which, any movie by [[Roland Emmerich]] such as ''[[Independence Day]]'', ''[[The Day After Tomorrow]]'' and
* Nero in ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' tends to be ridiculously [[Large Ham|over the top]] (see: his introduction as "Hi, I'm Nero" and "[[Shout-Out|SPOOOOOOOOOOOCK]]"). It just makes the movie more fun. "FIRE EVERYTHING!"
* ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'': "By Grabthar's hammer... by the suns of Warvan... you shall be ''avenged''." Though in that case the original line was ''trying'' to be silly in an [[Affectionate Parody]] sort of way for ''[[Star Trek]]''. The context the line is delivered in is genuinely [[Badass]] and makes up for it. It helped that it was [[Alan Rickman]] saying the line.
Line 351:
* Japanese remixer [[Hyadain]]'s remix of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkIEVrFVeG4 Bubble Man's Theme] from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' is made of this. Despite the grating use of [[Gratuitous English]] and the fact that it's pretty much about about [[Foe Yay|Bubble Man's love for Mega Man]], the song works anyway, because it's very well arranged, has nice vocal work and, well...it's not on the [[Tear Jerker]] page for nothing.
** '''All''' of his Robot Master remixes are about confessing love—More or less subtly—towards Mega Man.
** Heat Man's
* "Infection" by [[J Rock]] band D'espairsRay. This song should have been horrible: The imagery was cliched, the grammar was bad, some of the lyrics made no sense and the rest were drenched in Engrish—but somehow, it still worked and could be considered a tearjerker.
** The PV for REDEEMER. Just... the PV for REDEEMER.
Line 593:
== Web Comics ==
* In ''[[Questionable Content]]'', the big [[Reveal]]—that {{spoiler|Faye's dad committed suicide in front of her}}—is so dramatic that even the big, cartoony sound effect {{spoiler|"BLAM!"}} doesn't ruin the scene.
* The bits of comedy that ''[[Megatokyo]]'' contains post-[[Cerebus Syndrome]] often slip into this. For example, in [http://megatokyo.com/strip/1241 this
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20141011214246/http://www.nuzlocke.com/?p=4 Nuzlocke Comics]'' are designed to be way too over-the-top and silly to be taken seriously, but due to the nature of the challenge it's hard not to feel something for the guy whenever a Pokémon faints.
