| 17 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 18 | |
| 19 | [[folder:#-E]] |
| 20 | * The narrators of two ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'' campaigns, William Wallace ("Build ten more... woooooaaaaad rrrraiderrrs!") and Genghis Khan ("The great Khan. GENGHIS KHAN!"). |
| 21 | ** One of the cheat units in ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresIII'', George Crushington, [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever a giant hopping bust of George Washington]] who headbutts his enemies with comical sound effects and shoots fire from his eyes, delivers this line to players: "CHECK IN YOUR WALLET. THAT'S ME ON THE DOLLAR BILL." |
| 22 | * Half the fun of ''VideoGame/AirForceDelta Strike'', is a script which runneth over with ham, much of it coming from in-mission EnemyChatter. Of particular note are the Stand By missions after you down the random enemy guest star pilots. Who knew there were so many pilots with over-the-top redneck accents and NoIndoorVoice? |
| 23 | -->"WHERE'S YER DRIVE, GAW-DAMMIT?!" |
| 24 | * ''VideoGame/AkaSeka'': [[TheDandy Teika]] takes beauty very seriously, has strong opinions about beauty and isn't ashamed to launch into over-the-top lectures about it. He'll even flail all over the place if he feels especially passionate. |
| 25 | * From the 2008 reboot of ''VideoGame/AloneInTheDark'': "I'm the LIGHT BRINGER! '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB5_88L5EO0 I'M THE FUCKING UNIVERSE!!!]]'''" |
| 26 | * ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'': "INCOMPLETE??? It's a WONDERFUL INVENTION!!!" |
| 27 | ** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNQfEmykuoo&feature=related NO LONGER will humans be the dominant species! I'M GOING TO CONQUER THE WORLD!!! DON'T try and stop me I'm going to RELENTLESSLY attack WHOMEVER TRIES TO GET IN MY WAY!!!]]" |
| 28 | *** "The Buzz you see here isn't the same old Buzz anymore. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis HE HAS BEEN REBORN!!!]]." |
| 29 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCaRvNo5J_4&feature=related This CASTLE is the most POWERFUL FORTRESS!!!]] |
| 30 | * Whenever a character casts a spell in ''VideoGame/ArcRiseFantasia'', with the exception of [[TheStraightMan Rastan]], they're almost always over the top. Dyno's summoning chant is particularly notable amongst the fanbase, and easily the most memorable line in the game. |
| 31 | * Caterina Sforza from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'', especially during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R4PoofP4bw this scene]] (skip to 7:35 for the good stuff). CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon doesn't ''begin'' to cover it. And the fact that it's TruthInTelevision only makes it ''better''! |
| 32 | ** ''Every civilian'' is a ham, especially after seeing you kill a guard or stealing money from a corpse. |
| 33 | * ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'': "In a World without Ham, We might have been Heroes!" |
| 34 | * ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' is practically FULL of this considering it's from the [[Creator/CyberConnect2 guys behind]] [[VideoGame/DotHackGU .hack//G.U. Games]] and can be summed up as Sci-Fi ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' with a Hindu theme, this isn't a surprise. Asura's not even the only ham in the cast here! |
| 35 | ** Asura himself is just a barrel of pent up UnstoppableRage who doesn't seem to have the concept of an [[NoIndoorVoice indoor voice down pat]] who will RUIN [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge your day]] [[PapaWolf if you touch his daughter Mithra.]] |
| 36 | ** Sergei is a beauty obsessed sociopath voiced by Creator/SteveBlum that's one of the more vicious of the seven deities even before they all betray Asura. |
| 37 | ** Augus, Asura's former mentor, is a [[DirtyOldMan skirt-chasing]] [[TheBrute brute]] with a BFS that puts [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth's masamune]] to shame who treats every brawl as the most [[BoisterousBruiser epic bender ever]] even as he and Asura fight ''on the freaking moon''. |
| 38 | ** [[FatBastard Wyzen]] is a [[JerkAss condescending dick]] who uses mantra to grow to the size of a ''planet'' in an effort to give Asura the FingerpokeOfDoom. [[SerialEscalation And he's the]] WarmupBoss. [[spoiler: [[Awesome/AsurasWrath It fails.]]]] |
| 39 | ** The game is an example of LargeHam status. |
| 40 | * The ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' series is a textbook example of a WorldOfHam. There isn't a single character who ''isn't'' awesomely over the top and loving it. Even so, some characters stand out as being especially hammy: |
| 41 | ** Minsc is a BoisterousBruiser-flavored ham with his constant shouting of battlecries and enthusiasm. |
| 42 | --->"I grow tired of shouting battlecries when fighting this mage! Boo will ''finish his eyeballs'' ONCE AND FOR ALL so he ''DOES NOT RISE AGAIN!''' ''EVIL! MEET MY SWORD!'' '''SWOOOOOORD! MEEEEEET! EEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIL!" |
| 43 | ** His EvilCounterpart Korgan is nearly as bad with his over-the-top ViolentGlaswegian acting. Most of the villains get some epic [[ChewingTheScenery scenery-chewing]] lines as well, but most of them, with the possible exception of Irenicus, also know when calmness is called for. |
| 44 | ** His Majesty in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' is notable for the sole reason of being a hammy ''cat''. If you try to tell him you mean no harm, he replies in a very posh accent: |
| 45 | --->"AND YET YOU HARM ME BY YOUR VERY PRESENCE!" |
| 46 | * ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'': As usual, the Joker is all about ham in ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Arkham Asylum]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Arkham City]]''. Considering he's voiced by Creator/MarkHamill, who did him in the cartoons and who was also [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Ozai]], it's some of the most delicious hams in the business. Switching out Hamill for Creator/TroyBaker in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' did next to nothing to stop the onslaught of ham, which is [[{{Pun}} Christmas Ham]] in this instance. |
| 47 | * Several people from ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos Origins''. [[HumanoidAbomination Wiseman]], Baelheit, and [[VoiceOfTheLegion Guillo]], just to name a few. |
| 48 | ** Milly, at least when she's [[BloodKnight in battle]]. |
| 49 | ** {{S|mugSnake}}hanath. Hilariously enough, he sounds uncannily like [[VideoGame/TheTrappedTrilogy Dan McNeely]], which makes him a little hard to take seriously. |
| 50 | ** Geldoblame in the first game, who chewed up most of Anuenue with just a few lines. |
| 51 | ** Gibari, in every incarnation. |
| 52 | ** After the WhamEpisode in the first game: [[spoiler:[[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity LOOK AT MY]] [[PowerGivesYouWings BEEEAAUUUUTIFUUUL WIIINGS!!!]] [[NaRm I AM COMPLEEEETE!!]]]] |
| 53 | * ''VideoGame/Battlefield1'' and bayonet charging (True, its not much speaking, but there's still something to be said about how ham the screams are). The player charging will hear two grunts of exertion, followed by their character ''roaring''. |
| 54 | -->''"REUUUUUUUH"'' ''"AAAAAAAAAA"'' ''"YAAAAAAAAA"'' ''"RAAAAAAAAA"'' |
| 55 | ** Its also possible for other players to hear the scream, or sometimes a different voice line. |
| 56 | ---> [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ''"Die! You! BASTARD!"'']] |
| 57 | * ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'': ''All'' of Bertrum Piedmont's lines are delivered this way. |
| 58 | * Both Pey'j and Double H[am] in ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'' ratched up the ham to ridiculous levels (Pey'j in the most literal sense possible, since he's a [[FunnyAnimal talking pig and all.]]) Pey'j is a BoisterousBruiser-ish, Texan-accented ham with a [[CurseOfTheAncients wide variety of bizarre euphemisms]] and quips to his name, plus the always-useful '''''SWEET JESUS!''''' Double H, on the other hand, appears to be an immigrant from a [[SoBadItsGood deliciously awful]] action movie, complete with gutteral growl, [[BadassCreed random military wisdom]], and an utterly ridiculous {{Catchphrase}}. '''''CARLSON AND PEETERS!''''' |
| 59 | * From Big Bang Beat: "'''SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODO'''" "'''DAIGO EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE'''" |
| 60 | * ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'': The narrator is normally not this, but he becomes this when announcing a horse pill. As horse pills are giant versions of the standard pills with increased effects, the narrator screams their names to reflect this. "TEARS UP." "I CAN SEE FOREVER." "QUESTIONY QUESTIONY QUESTIONY"/"WHAT THE HECK?!" |
| 61 | * Atlas ("Goddam [[FunetikAksent Sploicers]]!") from ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}'' is a [[{{Oireland}} Guinness-infused]] Ham of impressive proportions. [[spoiler: He's not much less hammy as Fontaine, either, though he does get to switch up the accent.]] |
| 62 | ** And what about Andrew Ryan's hammy lines near the end of [[spoiler: Hephaestus]]? |
| 63 | --->AND A TIIIME, TO DESTROOOOOOYY!!! |
| 64 | --->You can taste it, can't you? '''ANDREW RYAN!''' |
| 65 | ** Sander Cohen beats both men in terms of ham. And that's not counting the moments when his temper flares up. |
| 66 | ** Saltonstall spends the entire time in the ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' trailer being hammy. |
| 67 | ---> '''WHO ARE YOU?! AN ASSASSIN!!! ''CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARLEEEEEESSS!'' ATTEND!!!''' |
| 68 | *** From the same game, Motorized Patriots. All of them. |
| 69 | ----> "The Lord judges. I ACT." |
| 70 | ** And we've got Cornelius Slate. |
| 71 | ---> "IT WAS SLATE WHO KILLED FOR HIS COUNTRY AT WOUNDED KNEE! IT WAS SLATE WHO STORMED THE GATES AT PEKING!! SLAAAAAATE!!!" |
| 72 | ** Uh, ''Doctor Steinman'', anybody? This line is full of Narm: |
| 73 | ---> "What's this, Goddess? ...An intruder! He is ugly! UGLY! '''UGLY!''' '''UUUUUGGGGGGGLLLLLYYYYYY!!!'''" |
| 74 | * The Japanese game show announcer in the ''VideoGame/BishiBashi'' series shouts every word he says. |
| 75 | * The ''VideoGame/BlasterSeries'' has a few, notably the old man from ''VideoGame/MathBlasterAges912''. |
| 76 | ** From the same game, the Terrible Monkey King. |
| 77 | ** Also, Dr. Minus from ''VideoGame/MathBlasterSecretOfTheLostCity''. |
| 78 | * Bang Shishigami, '''THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE!!!''', from ''Franchise/BlazBlue''. |
| 79 | ** "NOW JUMP! INTO MY '''MANLY''' CHEST!!!" |
| 80 | *** To rid this world of evil, HE SHALL BECOME THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE!!! |
| 81 | ** '''BAAAAAAAANG BANG BANG BAAAAAAAANG!!''' |
| 82 | ** There are two things in this world that I just cannot stand! Lies, and EVIL, AND '''LIES!! AND BELL PEPPERS!!!''' |
| 83 | ** Hakumen can get quite hammy at times too. |
| 84 | ---> "I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall [[KnightTemplar I reap the sins of this world, and cleanse it in the fires of destruction]]. '''[[MyNameIsInigoMontoya I AM HAKUMEN!]] [[BadassCreed THE END HAS COME!]]'''" |
| 85 | ** So can Jin when he's in AxCrazy {{Yandere}} Mode. |
| 86 | ** And [[EldritchAbomination Arakune]] does too, surprisingly. Mostly in his pre-battle taunts. |
| 87 | ---> '''Arakune:''' In the end both you and I....are POINTLESSPOINTLESSPOINTLESS[[LaughingMad AAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!]] |
| 88 | ** [[BigBad Hazama]]! He may very well be the hammiest of all. |
| 89 | ---> '''Hazama:''' "This world is nothing but lies! ''LIES!'' Lemme show you what I like to call the truth! ''THE TRUTH CALLED DESPAAAAAIRRRR!!"'' |
| 90 | ** Makoto: |
| 91 | ---> "LIGHT, GIVE ME STRENGTH!! [[ShoutOut ATATAT]][[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar ATATATATATA]]!! WITH MY MIGHTY FIST, '''[[MegatonPunch I'LL SEND YOU TO THE STARS!!]]''' |
| 92 | ** And Iron Tager?: |
| 93 | ---> "Any last words!? THIS IS GOING TO BE... '''YOUR END'''!!" |
| 94 | ** In fact, it's probably easier to say that ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' is a WorldOfHam, because '''''every single character''''' is a LargeHam at some point. |
| 95 | * ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands}}'' has quite a few examples. The Psycho bandits are this with a healthy dose of AxCrazy. |
| 96 | -->''"Strip the flesh! Salt the wound! [[LaughingMad AHAHAHAAAA]]"'' |
| 97 | ** The [[PlayerCharacter Vault Hunters]] have some hammy lines as well. Notably Brick and Lilith. |
| 98 | ** Mr. Torgue in ''Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage'' DLC from ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' fits this trope rather well with his emphasis on screaming and use of the word explosions. |
| 99 | -->''I'M TORGUE, AND I'M HERE TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION AND ONE QUESTION ONLY: '''[[StuffBlowingUp EXPLOSIONS!?]]''''' |
| 100 | ** The DLC player [[AxCrazy Krieg]] is a playable psycho, and he spouts out a lot of amusing lines. |
| 101 | --->''My pecs have PECS!" |
| 102 | ** Gaige starts out a little hammy (when reviving a teammate, she'll yell "Live! LIVE!"), but if you spec into Ordered Chaos, as you build Anarchy stacks, she gets a lot louder and crazier, and starts BreakingTheFourthWall. |
| 103 | --->''PLAYER! WHAT! ARE! YOU! DOING?!''\ |
| 104 | ''[[VideoGame/HitmanBloodMoney ALLAN WRITE SOME DIALOGUE HERE!]]''\ |
| 105 | ''I'm getting a God complex AND I LIKE IT!''\ |
| 106 | ''EVIL MANIACAL LAUGHTER!''\ |
| 107 | ''ANARCHY FOREVERRRRRR!!! AND EVERRRRR!!!'' |
| 108 | * One_Wing from ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'' is what happens when a stereotypical forum troll gains ultimate power and has a mental breakdown at the exact same time. He [[OneSceneWonder only gets one scene]] to chew the scenery, but by god, he ''devours'' it. |
| 109 | * Being played by ''the'' Creator/GaryOldman, it's no surprise that Sergeant Reznov from ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar'' sounds like this. |
| 110 | ** And Keifer Sutherland in the American army levels, getting plenty of chances to do his angry [[Series/TwentyFour Jack Bauer]] voice. "Outstanding, men! '''OUT-FUCKING-STANDING'''!" |
| 111 | ** Furthermore, the multiplayer announcers in WaW were definitely this compared to the other Call of Duty games, [[ThoseWackyNazis especially]] the German one . Both the American and Russian ones were actually voiced by the above mentioned Sutherland and Oldman. |
| 112 | * ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' "MY NAME IS VICTOR REZNOV, AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! |
| 113 | * A lot of the dialogue in those ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' games that actually ''have'' dialogue, especially ''Lament of Innocence'' and ''Curse of Darkness'' due to the use of fairly accurate but still excessive YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe. But the Ham-hat goes off to the English dub of ''Symphony of the Night'', especially this legendary exchange between Dracula and Richter Belmont, sadly retranslated in the PSP remake: |
| 114 | -->'''Richter:''' "DIE, monster! You don't BELONG in this world!" |
| 115 | -->'''Dracula:''' "It was not by MY hand that I am once again given FLESH! I was called here by ''HUMANS'' who wish to pay ME ''Tribute''!" |
| 116 | -->'''Richter:''' "TRIBUTE?!! You steal men's SOULS and make them your ''SLAVES''!" |
| 117 | -->'''Dracula:''' "Perhaps the same can be said of ALL religions." |
| 118 | -->'''Richter:''' "Your words are as EMPTY as your SOUL! Mankind ILL NEEDS a savior such as ''YOU''!" |
| 119 | -->'''Dracula:''' "[[MemeticMutation WHAT IS A MAN?!]] *Throws wine glass* A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF ''SECRETS''! But enough talk...HAVE AT YOU!" |
| 120 | ** The ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheDraculaXChronicles Dracula X Chronicles]]'' has its moments, both in Rondo and in Symphony: |
| 121 | ---> '''Richter:''' "The only one I'm here for is ''you''. To ''HELL'' with your heresy! You're nothing but a ''blight'' on mankind!" |
| 122 | ---> '''Dracula:''' "Hah! ''Mankind...'' *Wine glass* A ''cesspit'' of HATRED AND ''LIES!'' Fight for them, then, and ''die for their SINS!''" |
| 123 | ** And during the battle proper: |
| 124 | ---> '''Dracula:''' "Enough of this! GRANT ME POW'''[[PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep EEERRRR!!]]''' |
| 125 | ---> '''Dracula:''' "To think I would be forced to use such power..." | "This is not enough?! ''VERY WELL!''" | "[[CallForward Behold my TRUE form, and DESPAIR!]]" |
| 126 | ** Or Alucard's first encounter with Richter. |
| 127 | ---> '''Richter:''' "Minions! Approach from the gates of '''HELL!''': |
| 128 | ---> '''Alucard:''' "[[OhCrap Your blood... The scent of your blood...]] YOU'RE A '''BELMONT!!'''" |
| 129 | ---> '''Richter:''' "Attack! Rid my castle of this '''PEST!'''" |
| 130 | ** Dracula also hams it up during the final confrontation with Alucard: |
| 131 | ---> BEHOLD MY TRUE FORM, '''AND DESPAIR!!!''' |
| 132 | ** This is even funnier when it appears, word for word, in ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'', with the squeaky-voiced Kid doing Richter's lines. |
| 133 | ** ''Portrait of Ruin'' gives us Brauner |
| 134 | --->'''Brauner:''' "THIS IS ART!!" |
| 135 | ** While fighting both Albus and [[spoiler:Barlowe]] in ''Order of Ecclesia'', they tend to ham it up pretty well. Especially [[spoiler:Barlowe]]'s high-pitched, maniacal cackling he makes when he flies across the room. |
| 136 | --->'''Albus:''' [[CallingYourAttacks "HEAVEN BULLET!" "STAR SHOT!" "THINK YOU CAN DODGE THIS?" "VERTICAL SHOT!!!"]] And as he dies: "SHANOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!!!" |
| 137 | *** And thanks to Albus mode, you get to hear his hamminess every time you perform a special attack. It's a completely different set of lines, despite being the exact same attacks, just for that extra ham flavor. |
| 138 | ----> "AHPTIKAL SHAWT! MAX SHOT! [[TeleportSpam YOU CAN'T HIT ME YOU CAN'T HIT ME YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T YOU YOU YOU CAN'T HIT ME!]]" |
| 139 | ** Leon's {{Narm}}ful vow in ''Lament of Innocence'': |
| 140 | --->'''Leon:''' I'll kill you, AND THE NIGHT! |
| 141 | ** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'' has these in Japanese, as it was never translated into English, voicewise. The fight [[spoiler:against [[Creator/HikaruMidorikawa Soma Cruz]] as Dracula is particularly notable, with his marvellous evil laugh, and the way he calls out the name of the person you are using while throwing his wine glass away. "Julius... BERUMONDOOOOOAAAAA!"]] |
| 142 | * ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': "I AM NICTUS!" This is rendered purely through text, font, and GoingThroughTheMotions. |
| 143 | * The opening narrator for ''VideoGame/CliveBarkersJericho'' as he describes how the world hangs in the balance over the forces of darkness. ''Every'' word positively '''''oozes''''' with theatricality and '''OVERBLOWN DRAMA!''' Before long he starts to sound more like a fire and brimstone preacher than a video game narrator. |
| 144 | --> And just remember: If the world is still here tomorrow, ''now you know why.'' |
| 145 | * The ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' RTS series of games is legendary for its wonderfully cheesy FMV cutscenes and a healthy dose of {{Deadpan Snarker}}ey, but the ''Red Alert'' games take it to a whole other level of, er... enthusiasm. A few specific examples: |
| 146 | ** In-game, you have the [[PsychoElectro Tesla Troopers]], who toss off [[BondOneLiner Bond One-Liners]] such as ''"Burn, baby, burn!!"'' in a cheesy Ahnuld accent. |
| 147 | ** On the Soviet side, there's Stalin himself, who gets nuttier (and hammier) as the game progresses, The psychic Yuri, who seems to be channeling Bela Lugosi for the entire game, and the most ''Hamtacular'' of all -- Premier Romanov, who [[ChewingTheScenery will only let go of the scenery when they pry it from his cold, dead]] ''[[ChewingTheScenery jaws.]]'' |
| 148 | ** For the Allies, there's President Dugan, a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of UsefulNotes/BillClinton, and General Carville, who serves his Ham Texas-style. |
| 149 | ** All in all, the Soviet Campaign is far more Ham-heavy than the Allies. It may be something in the vodka. |
| 150 | ** ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer 3'' outdoes them all by including Creator/BillyDeeWilliams who speaks EVERY line in the same tone used by [[Franchise/StarWars Lando Calrissian when hitting on Princess Leia]]. It gets creepy when he's talking about the death of millions of people this way. Then theres Joseph D. Kucan who returns as Kane, with more Ham than ever before. |
| 151 | --->''"Go ahead my son. Push the button. Inscribe your place in history with the blood of GDI."'' |
| 152 | --->''"How could my own brothers believe that what transpired at the Temple Prime did not unfold exactly as I had planned? Of course I could not have planned for an ambush BY MY OWN FORCES!"'' |
| 153 | ** In the intro to ''Kane's Wrath'', Kane's epic speech is so hammy that it comes complete with ''earthquakes punctuating his sentences.'' |
| 154 | ** ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' has the hammiest cast list possible -– Creator/TimCurry, Jonathan Pryce, J.K. Simmons, and George Takei. The film sets which haven't been chomped to pieces by the actors are strewn with awesome levels of cheese and ham. ALL the actors seems to having the time of their lives -- especially Tim Curry, who dominates any scene he's in. |
| 155 | *** And in a marked contrast to RA 2, the Allied campaign is the hammiest of them all-Eva is about the only one who isn't consistently munching on scenery and pork alike every second she's on screen, but she has her moments. The Soviets are no slouches, either, but the Empire campaign leaves something to be desired in the ham department-the Imperial actors would be hammy in any other game, but simply can't match the Allies and Soviets. |
| 156 | --->''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIr68Ncz3Rw Cowboy style.]]'' |
| 157 | ** The ''Red Alert 3: Uprising'' expansion is set to feature ''[[http://kotaku.com/5139951/cc-red-alert-3-uprising-cast-has-a-certain-flair Malcolm McDowell and Ric Flair]]''. EA is trying to create some sort of Ham Singularity (or "Aporkolypse.") |
| 158 | * ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'': The many Generals in Zero Hour's "Generals Challenge" mode are '''MAJOR''' qualifiers for this trope, just listen to Dr. Thrax's voiceset and you'll get a good example [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAxmvNm6Uv0 as to why.]] (x2 speed is preferred for extra-hamminess) |
| 159 | * ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay's'' musical example: '''I...AAAAM...the Great Mighty Poo''' '''and I'm going to throw my ham at you.''' |
| 160 | * Doctor Neo Cortex and Doctor Nitrus Brio are especially hammy in the Radical Entertainment era of the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' series. |
| 161 | -->'''Cortex:''' And I shall call this robot... ''THE DOOMINATOR!!''\ |
| 162 | '''Cortex:''' I promise. From now on, I'll be more rancid! More villainous! More ''horrible! HORRIBLE!!''\ |
| 163 | '''Brio:''' I... was in... ''the first... GAAAAAAAME!!''\ |
| 164 | '''Brio:''' ''Strike him with your large man-hand!'' |
| 165 | ** Also Doctor Nefarious Tropy, particularly in ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3Warped''. |
| 166 | --->'''Tropy:''' "Now you're on ''my'' time, you little '''Skunk!''' '''''Give me the crystals!"''''' |
| 167 | ** Most of the minions in ''Crash Of The Titans'' and ''Mind Over Mutant'' are hammy, but the [[AmazonBrigade Bratgirls]] are especially hammy. |
| 168 | ---> "AAAALLLL FOR NNNNIIINNNAAA!!!!" |
| 169 | * Many ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' announcers, particularly the one from ''DDR MAX'' through ''Dance Dance Revolution [=SuperNOVA=]2: |
| 170 | --> "LET'S '''MAX!'''" \ |
| 171 | "That was so fantastic...I was almost dazzled! Can't stop crying...buckets of tears!" \ |
| 172 | "YEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!" \ |
| 173 | "OH MY GOD!!" \ |
| 174 | [[BigNo "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"]] |
| 175 | * Nic Cage relentlessly [[ChewingTheScenery chews the scenery]] in the vast majority of his voicelines in ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight'', as is the usual for him. |
| 176 | * Steven the grocery manager from ''VideoGame/DeadRising''. [[Memes/VideoGames THIS IS MY STORE!!!]] At one point he hams it up so loudly that the [[NoIndoorVoice screen rattles.]] |
| 177 | * Regulus of ''VideoGame/{{Demigod}}'' has a few gems. |
| 178 | ** I came from Heaven, to send them to hell! |
| 179 | * Bob Page in the final act of ''VideoGame/DeusEx''. Sure he does a fair bit of begging for his life as your victory becomes more and more likely, but other than that he loves nothing more than to mock you and proclaim himself a god. |
| 180 | ** The three other factions in that scene are little better, actually. As you get closer to accomplishing their goals they go on and on about how Right they are for whatever reason. |
| 181 | ** The Grand Templar in ''VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar'' is another ham. The guy's basically UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, so he's justified in having honed his melodramatic recruiting speeches. |
| 182 | * ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': |
| 183 | ** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'': |
| 184 | *** Dante (or anyone) still has yet to top the infamous: [[Memes/DevilMayCry "I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIIII~IIIIIIGHT!"]]. |
| 185 | *** Mundus boasting even after he's defeated by Dante: |
| 186 | ---->'''Mundus:''' "Dante, I will return... And I will RULE THIS WOOOOOOOOOOORLD!" |
| 187 | ** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'': |
| 188 | *** Arkham! Seriously, he's the hammiest character in the game. |
| 189 | ---->'''Arkham:''' ''"Now, after two millenniums of confinement, it can at '''LAST''' fulfill the '''PURPOSE''' for which it was '''INTENDED'''!"'' |
| 190 | *** [[spoiler:Arkham's clown persona]] Jester is hammy as well. They even wrote it [[LampshadeHanging that way]] in the subtitles: |
| 191 | ---->'''Jester:''' "'''THAT''' is '''WHAT''' the '''SOMETHING''' is!" |
| 192 | *** Dante declaring his goal of defeating his brother Vergil in the final mission: ''"And now...my soul...IS SAYING IT WANTS TO STOP YYYOOUUUUU!!!!"'' |
| 193 | ** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'': |
| 194 | *** Agnus [[PunctuatedForEmphasis punctuates a lot of what he says]] when he opens the central {{Hellgate}}. |
| 195 | ---->'''Agnus:''' "The true Utopia... CAN! BE! BORN! JUDGEMENT DAY! HAS! ARRIVED!" |
| 196 | *** Dante even engages Agnus in what appears to be a battle to see who can be the most ham in the cutscenes of Mission 17. |
| 197 | ---->'''Dante:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "For I AM HERE! To re-CLAIM! What is RIGHTFULLYMINE!"]] (Upon arriving at the Opera House)\ |
| 198 | '''Dante:''' "Is...sanity! The price to pay...FOPOWWAH?!" (As a response to one of Agnus's boasts) |
| 199 | * The witch Adria from ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' has no body language, but all her lines are chock full of portentous pseudo-wisdom, and delivered in a thunderous, over-dramatic voice. |
| 200 | ** ''Everybody'' in ''Diablo'' is that way. ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' toned it down significantly for the players and friendly [=NPCs=], but the bosses are just as dramatic as ever. |
| 201 | ** And in ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'', [[WorldOfHam most everyone you meet likes to ham it up]]. Especially [[spoiler:Diablo himself as the Prime Evil]]. |
| 202 | *** "YOU CANNOT JUDGE ME, I AM JUSTICE ITSELF!!" |
| 203 | * ''VideoGame/DiscworldNoir'': In-game actor Privetier is a huge ham, much to Lewton's displeasure. |
| 204 | * The ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' universe simply [[WorldOfHam drips with ham]]. |
| 205 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea|HourOfDarkness}}'' has Laharl, The Dark Adonis, [[MeaningfulName Mid-Boss]], Vulcanus, and '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' Even [[LoveFreak Flonne]] can get quite ham handed with the Power of Love. |
| 206 | *** Axel the (washed-up) Dark Hero from ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2|CursedMemories}}''. Adell can get pretty [[{{Pun}} Hot Blooded]] at times, also. |
| 207 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3|AbsenceOfJustice}}'' has a ton, Master Big Star, Mr. Champloo, Salvatore the Magnificent, Gold Knuckle, and Mao. (The [[Creator/VicMignogna English version]] is [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]] under the BerserkButton constantly). |
| 208 | *** The ''great'' and ''terrible'' [[TheNapoleon King Laharl]]. |
| 209 | ** Valvatorez from ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|APromiseUnforgotten}}''. Let's just say fans have compared him to [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch]] and end it at that. |
| 210 | * In ''VideoGame/DisneyPrincessEnchantedJourney'', like most Disney villains, Zara is this. |
| 211 | * ''VideoGame/Dota2'' has many, many large hams in its cast, but perhaps the award for the hammiest goes to Mogul Khan the Axe, a large red ProudWarriorRaceGuy with NoIndoorVoice who speaks almost exclusively in HulkSpeak. |
| 212 | ---> '''Axe (after killing an enemy)''': What happened? '''AXE HAPPENED!''' |
| 213 | * ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''' Loghain Mac Tir. STAND WITH HIM AND WE SHALL DEFEAT EVEN THE BLIGHT ITSELF!!! |
| 214 | ** Loghain is a lightweight compared to Uldred from the Circle of Magi. Ham oozes from his every sentence. |
| 215 | ---> "Ah ... look what we have here. An intruder. I bid you welcome. Care to join in our … revels?" |
| 216 | ---> "RESISTANCE! EVERYWHERE I GO, RESISTANCE!" |
| 217 | ---> "You are a thorn in my side, and I will remove you before you fester!" |
| 218 | ---> "Killing you would be a waste! Your raw potential combined with the strength of a demon would make you UNSTOPPABLE!" |
| 219 | ---> "FIGHT if you must! It will only make my victory all the SWEETER." |
| 220 | ** Kolgrim, the leader of the crazy dragon cult. |
| 221 | ---> "The Prophetess Andraste has OVERCOME DEATH ITSELF and has RETURNED to her faithful in a form more RADIANT than you can imagine! Not even the Tevinter Imperium could hope to slay her now! What hope do YOU have?" |
| 222 | ** While still possessed by a demon, Connor shows off a bit of ham. |
| 223 | ---> "Ever since you sent the knights away, you do nothing but deprive me of my fun! Frankly, it's getting dull. I crave EXCITEMENT! And ACTION!" |
| 224 | * ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' had a lot of EvilIsHammy, most of its LargeHam characters are bad guys. |
| 225 | ** Flemeth is a textbook OneSceneWonder, she has precisely two scenes in the entirety of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' but both are filled with classic cryptic fantasy advice delivered in a wonderfully [[ChewingTheScenery scenery-chewing]] sort of way. |
| 226 | ** Knight-Commander Merideth, especially during her VillainousBreakdown at the end. |
| 227 | ** Varric seems to be a kind of information broker but seems to make a living primarily from writing adventure novels. The entire game is told in four long flashbacks he tells to his interrogator, and at some points he really goes overboard with his artistic license. Instead of having it narrated, you actually play the scenes which are hilariously over the top. |
| 228 | ** [[WellIntentionedExtremist Anders's]] combat chatter is delicious ham. "MY MAGIC WILL DESTROY YOU!" |
| 229 | ** The Black Emporium DLC gives you the titular shop's proprietor, Xenon the Antiquarian, who combines this trope with speaking like Creator/WilliamShatner. |
| 230 | ---> "Don't... '''MAN'''-handle the uuuurrrchin! He's not... for sale... '''FIND YOUR OWN!'''" |
| 231 | * ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' continues the trend of hammy villains with The Elder One/[[spoiler:Corypheus]] who, in his EstablishingCharacterMoment, destroys [[spoiler:Heaven]] and goes one epic MotiveRant. |
| 232 | --> '''The Elder One''': I once breached the Fade in the name of another, to serve the Old Gods of the Empire in person. I found only chaos and corruption, dead whispers. For a thousand years, I was confused. No more! I have gathered the will to return under no name but my own, to champion withered Tevinter, and correct this blighted world. ''Beg'' that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the gods, and ''it was empty!'' |
| 233 | * In ''VideoGame/DuneII'''s remake ''Dune 2000'', the FMV cutscenes feature fair amounts of ham, the largest of them being the Atreides mentat. Other characters get their fair share as well. |
| 234 | * ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'', ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', and the ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi'' crossover games (in short, KOEI's entire Warriors franchise) has this in spades; a majority of the characters, both male and female, act according to an apparently obvious (often "judge a book by a cover" level) archetype. |
| 235 | ** The scary thing is, it's not certain whether that's so or whether this is mere {{Flanderization}} and it's the ''[[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms original source material]]'' that's more hammy. |
| 236 | * ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'': |
| 237 | ** Most [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Princes]] are these throughout the series. To note: |
| 238 | *** [[MadGod Sheogorath]] and [[BoisterousBruiser Malacath]] are particularly notable examples. Sheogorath in particular gives new meaning to the phrase [[LargeHam ham]] [[HamAndCheese and]] [[MemeticMutation cheese]]. |
| 239 | *** Molag Bal, Daedric Prince of [[TheCorrupter Domination and Corruption]], is either this or CreepyMonotone with very little in between. His tone doesn't change much while talking, however, this is dropped completely when he becomes entertained or enraged, however. Then he will ham it up with his [[EvilSoundsDeep booming voice]] and EvilLaugh. |
| 240 | ** The Dremora, a race of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent lesser Daedra]] most frequently seen in service to [[OmnicidalManiac Daedric Prince of Destruction]] Mehrunes Dagon, are a very hammy race throughout the series. Any time that they're around, expect HamToHamCombat. |
| 241 | ---> "I HONOR MY LORD, BY DESTROYING '''YOU'''!!!" |
| 242 | ** Various CityGuards, particularly Imperial guards, are this as well throughout the series. |
| 243 | ---> "BY THE NINE DIVINES! THERE'S BEEN A '''MURDER'''!" |
| 244 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', BigBad PhysicalGod Dagoth Ur. He speaks with a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, booming voice]] and makes a lot of grand boasts and cryptic statements in his dialogue. He even manages this for his non-voiced lines, such as the [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone dramatic dreams]] he sends you. |
| 245 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'': |
| 246 | *** Heimskr, Whiterun's resident Priest of Talos. |
| 247 | ---->'''Heimskr''': "I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine! I do this for you, Red Legions, for IIIIIIIII LOVE you!" Aye, love! LOVE! Even as man, great Talos cherished us! For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future...of TAMRIEL! |
| 248 | *** [[ProudWarriorRace Nords]] in general tend to have an on/off switch for hamminess. They'll go from quiet and polite to "I'LL RIP YER HEART OUT!" upon sighting an enemy. |
| 249 | *** General Tullius, the leader of the Imperial Legion within Skyrim, also indulges in this trope quite often. |
| 250 | ---->''"What in Oblivion is THAT?!"'' |
| 251 | ---->''"You wanna be that thing's next meal? INTO THE KEEP, PRISONER!"'' |
| 252 | ---->''"We will '''DRRRRAG''' him out of the rubble to '''FACE JUSTICE!'''"'' |
| 253 | *** Even for a ''dragon'', BigBad Alduin sure loves the sound of his own voice. (A [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]], guttural, ''[[NoIndoorVoice booming]]'' voice at that...) |
| 254 | ---->''"'''I am AL-DU-IN! First born son of Akatosh! ''Mulagi zuk lat[[note]]The greatest and strongest[[/note]]''! I cannot be slain here, by you or anyone else!'''"'' |
| 255 | ----> ''"'''My belly is full of the souls of your fellow mortals, Dovahkiin!'''"'' |
| 256 | ----> ''"'''Zu'u unslaad! Zu'u nis oblaan! (I am immortal! I cannot die!)'''"'' |
| 257 | *** Bethesda simply ''must'' have had too much fun when making the Dark Brotherhood quest "Recipe for Disaster," where you kill [[spoiler:the fake Emperor]] through poison. It involves you pretending to be a cook, so as to slip poison into his evening meal. You can choose one of three dialogue options when talking to your understudy. One is a very level-headed response, as if speaking normally, another is always just a bunch of ellipses that she takes as a silent test, and the third, well... |
| 258 | ---->'''You:''' DO NOT QUESTION THE GOURMET! |
| 259 | * The titular ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents''. "Are you ''ready!?'' Three! Two! One! GOOO!!!" Cue Deep Purple's ''Highway Star'', or maybe ''Jumping Jack Flash''... ''Makes No Difference''? |
| 260 | ** [[VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan OUEN!]] ''DAI-SEI-KOUUUUUUUU!'' |
| 261 | ** It helps that the leader of the EBA is Ham Incarnate. "Agents are... GO!" It can't be a coincidence that his name is [[TheKhan Commander Khan]]. |
| 262 | ** Both the cries of "HEEEEEAAAALLP!"/"OUENDAAAAN!" and the actual in-game cut-scenes establish that the games are in a WorldOfHam, aside from each game's sad level. |
| 263 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE-q48pmap8&feature=related Maximillian Roivas]] and Pius Augustus both engage in some deliciously hilarious hamming in ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness''. |
| 264 | * ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'' contains ham, ham, and more ham. Everyone gets involved, including the kids. The overacting fits well with the game's overall surrealism. |
| 265 | ** Perhaps the most jarring is when Falsetto returns to the group. |
| 266 | * ''VideoGame/EtherVapor'' has the Scene 2 boss, Daniel Pachelbel. Introduces himself to Luca by saying that Luca has picked a fight with [[TheEmpire Chaldea]], the world's MIGHTIEST nation! Preaches dramatically about trying to come to an understanding with his enemies. When Luca calls him "baldy", Daniel calls him out for his act of '''[[BerserkButton PERSONAL]] [[ItsPersonal OPPRESSION!]]''' before opening fire on him. |
| 267 | ** It's done again in the SpiritualSuccessor, ''VideoGame/{{Astebreed}}''. |
| 268 | [[/folder]] |
| 269 | |
| 270 | [[folder:F-L]] |
| 271 | * ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'': The Bishop of Southwark manages this even in a text-based medium (doubly so, as even his letters are hammy as hell), combining mannerisms from a Fire-and-Brimstone preacher with those of a DrillSergeantNasty. People in the first rows of his lectures tend to be covered in spittle. |
| 272 | -->''Do you know who I am? I am the Bishop of Southwark, and you pitiable sinners had better listen!'' |
| 273 | * ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'': '''THREEEEEE DAAAAAAWWWWWWGG!! HELLOOOO, CAPITAL WASTELAND!! HOW'S EVERYONE DOIN?''' |
| 274 | ** Also in ''Fallout'', Dr. Borous from the [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Old World Blues DLC]] is ham incarnate. "The LOBOTOMITE '''UNDERSTANDS US'''!!" |
| 275 | ** Near enough everyone in Old World Blues counts, such as Dr Mobius and Dr Klein. Special mention goes to the Toaster: "'''Tremble''', world, before my heating coil of doom!" |
| 276 | * The biggest ham in ''VideoGame/Fallout2'' has to be [[DrillSergeantNasty Sergeant Arch Dornan]]: |
| 277 | --> "Don't have any? You expect me to believe that, '''MAGGOT?''' The truth is, you've lost an expensive piece of army-issue equipment! That suit is gonna come out of your '''pay.''' AND YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS MAN'S ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE (inhale) FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD, WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF '''YEARS''' IT WILL TAKE FOR '''YOU''' TO PAY FOR THE MARK 2 POWERED COMBAT ARMOR '''YOU HAVE LOST!''' REPORT TO THE ARMORY AND HAVE A NEW SUIT ISSUED TO YOU, THEN REPORT BACK TO ME, PRIVATE! '''DISMISSED!'''" |
| 278 | --> "'''YOU MO-ROOOOOOOOOON!''' YOU ARE NOT TO QUESTION MY ORDERS! WHEN I SAY JUMP, YOU '''JUMP!''' WHEN I SAY FIGHT, YOU '''FIGHT!''' WHEN I TELL YOU TO DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY, THEN YOU WILL CERTAINLY '''DIE!''' AM I MAKING MYSELF CLEAR?!" |
| 279 | --> "If I like you, you can call me Sarge. But guess what? '''I DON'T LIKE YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAAAND?!'''" |
| 280 | * SNK's {{Fighting Game}}s have their share of {{Large Ham}}s as it is, but special mention must go to [[VideoGame/FatalFury Wolfgang Krauser]], voiced by B. J. Love. Krauser's lines range from the slightly narmy "I'LL CHISEL YOUR GRAVESTONE! SLEEEEEP WELL!" to his ending in ''Fatal Fury Special'', in which he bellows out, "'''WOW! WHAT A TOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!'''" without even trying to fix the mistranslation. |
| 281 | * ''VideoGame/FatalFury'': "Are you ok? '''[[LimitBreak BUSTAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOLF!]]'''" |
| 282 | ** "'''[[Franchise/StreetFighter OYAJIIIIIII!]]'''" |
| 283 | ** Everyone is hammy in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''. I don't know Japanese, but they sound just as hammy there as they do in English. |
| 284 | *** "THE POWER OF NOTHINGNESS!" |
| 285 | * Though the villains in the first ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]'' game are fairly low-key, ''Project Origin'' has Colonel Richard Vanek, who is physically incapable of ''not'' [[NoIndoorVoice screaming at everyone around him]], even when he's talking quietly. Just ''look'' at some of his lines, and remember ''every single one of them'' is being screamed at the top of his lungs by an extremely irate general officer: |
| 286 | -->'''"I DON'T CARE IF ITS KING TUT! YOU FUCKING KILL THEM!"''' |
| 287 | -->'''"ANY AND ALL FUCK-UPS, GET BACK TO ADMIN! WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS!"''' |
| 288 | -->'''"WHY IS THAT FUCKING SOLDIER STILL ALIVE? SOMEBODY JUST FUCKING SHOOT HIM ALREADY!"''' |
| 289 | ** In ''FEAR 3'', Paxton Fettel starts heading into hammy territory once he gets pissed. Peter Laurie ''really'' had fun hamming up some of Fettel's most unstable moments, especially his {{Evil Laugh}}ter. |
| 290 | * Wilder from ''VideoGame/FiftyCentBloodOnTheSand'' definitely qualifies, especially during the boss fight. |
| 291 | -->'''"I WILL MOUNT YOUR SEVERED HEAD ON MY GATEPOST!"''' |
| 292 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'': No one leaves out my quote!! TVTROPES EDITORS?? You impertinent fools. I, Garland, will knock you all down!! |
| 293 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', in the DS remake. Every character gets to ham it up at one point or another, but Cid in particular near eats the scenery whole. |
| 294 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', one of the sillier ''Final Fantasies'', has Exdeath, the biggest ham this side of the '''VOID!''' Just as an example, here's one of his hammier lines. Oh, and for bonus points, he actually says it ''twice'' over the course of the game. |
| 295 | --> '''Exdeath''': Time for your viscera to see the light of ''day!'' Now die! |
| 296 | ** Anything his lackey, Gilgamesh, says. ''Anything''. It is ''not'' limited to this game either, he's become a BreakoutCharacter spanning multiple games, and whenever he appears in any of them, IncomingHam can certainly be expected. Gilgamesh ''IS'' ham. Here's some of his quotes from across the series: |
| 297 | --->'''Gilgamesh''': "Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Faris ladies]] who [[TakeThat dress like men]]! For Gilgamesh...it is [[Franchise/PowerRangers morphing time]]!" |
| 298 | ---> "Let's see how you handle the mighty ME! And by me I mean GILGAMESH! And by handle, I mean DIIIE!" |
| 299 | ---> "I'd say you've been hitting the oxyale a bit too hard!" |
| 300 | ** And then they gave him a voice actor for ''Final Fantasy XII''. Creator/JohnDiMaggio of all people too! |
| 301 | ---> "FOOLS! You face the mightiest warrior in all IVALICE! You face ME! '''GILGAMESH!!!''' Long have I sought the blade of legend, SCOURED have I the furthest marches, East and West, and now my search brings me here, to YOOOUUU!! ''''YOUR WEAPONS ARE FORFEIT TO MEEE!!!'''" |
| 302 | --> "QUAKE mortals, you face the blade of legends!" |
| 303 | --> "[[{{Kiai}} Hya, ha, HYAAAH!]] TASTE MY WRATH! |
| 304 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. Kefka isn't shy about expressing his HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE for others. |
| 305 | ** "YOU SOUND LIKE CHAPTERS FROM A SELF-HELP BOOKLET!" |
| 306 | * Cid in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has just two kinds of speaking. Shouting and yelling. |
| 307 | ** Likewise, the Cid from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has two main modes of speaking: Shouting and [[ClusterFBomb Swearing]]. |
| 308 | ----> "Shut up! Sit your ass down in that chair and drink your goddamn TEA!!" |
| 309 | ** Barret and a few of Shin Ra's higher-up employees qualify. |
| 310 | ** FFX!Cid's son, known only as Brother, inherits this in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'', thereby proving that overacting is genetic. He bellows his orders to the Gullwings in thickly accented English and [[MilkingTheGiantCow milks a giant cow]] every chance he gets. |
| 311 | * Dr. Cid from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' doesn't get a lot of screentime. And what few scenes he does get, he devours with great enthusiasm. |
| 312 | --> "A TRIAL for Ashelia B'Nargin Dalmasca!" |
| 313 | --> "Let us use the stone! FINISH THIS VENAT!" |
| 314 | --> "Come! Ffamran! REVEL IN THE GLORY OF MY TRIUMPH!" |
| 315 | * And holy crap, ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' takes the ''hammiest'' villains ([[TokenEvilTeammate and Shantotto]]) from across every numbered Final Fantasy game at the time. Sure, some of them are subdued, like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]] (the latter being strange, as she was a textbook Ham in her actual game), but the others? There's varying levels of hamminess, but the best of them are screaming every attack. But in the interest of space, let's just go with a sampling tray of the different flavors of ham, taken from their [[LimitBreak EX-Bursts]]. |
| 316 | --> '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Garland]]''': "Know your LIMIT! CAN YOU '''STAND THIS?!''' [[PitifulWorms Miserable]] '''[[PitifulWorms INSECT!]]'''\ |
| 317 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII The Emperor]]''': "Suffer! All is MINE to COMMAND! [[EvilLaugh *low chuckle*]] Lowly ''worm!''"\ |
| 318 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII Cloud of Darkness]]''': "True ''darkness!'' Unleash the SHADOWS! [[EvilLaugh Hmmhmmhaahahaha!]]"\ |
| 319 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Golbez]]''': "''Guide'', my inner shadow. Light and dark above... '''TRANSCEND THE STARS!'''"\ |
| 320 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Exdeath]]''': "To the silent '''BEYOND!!''' Embrace the ''stillness'' of eternity..."\ |
| 321 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]]''': "''Be careful!'' Watch '''this'''! ... It's '''FILLING ME UP!'''" *[[PillarOfLight kaboom]]* "That was ''titillating!''"\ |
| 322 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Kuja]]''': "Curtain rise!" *boom boom boom boom* "Here comes the FINALE!"\ |
| 323 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Jecht]]''': "You are just out of luck! C'mon c'mon ''c'mon'' '''c'mon!''' This is ''my'' show!" "One more!" '''"OH YEEEEEAAAAAH!"'''\ |
| 324 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Shantotto]]''': "NOW I'M '''MAD!!''' [[NoblewomansLaugh Oooohohohohoho!]] I'm driven to DESTROY!"\ |
| 325 | '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII Gabranth]]''': "By my SWORD! KNOW THIS '''PAIN!''' [[{{Kiai}} Hmph hm hah!]] ''Take your last breath.'' Surrender now to '''OBLIVION!!'''" |
| 326 | ** And the BigBad Chaos ''outhams them all''. But then, he's voiced by Creator/NorioWakamoto in the Japanese version and Creator/KeithDavid in English -- could ''anyone'' match that level of ham? |
| 327 | --->"KNOW DESPAIR! ''Hollow beings!''"\ |
| 328 | "You are ''weak''...CEASE TO EXIST!"\ |
| 329 | "''Face'' the '''ultimate!''' ON YOUR KNEES! ''FEAR'' ME! '''THIS IS THE END!'''"\ |
| 330 | "''Tremble''...in the presence of '''pure CHAOS!'''" |
| 331 | ** And for a perfect example of IncomingHam, his introductory taunts to the heroes. Apparently the only appropriate response to ham is to be even hammier yourself. |
| 332 | --->To Warrior of Light: "Do not ATONE! Just PERRRRISH!!!!" |
| 333 | --->To Terra: "You do not ''need'' power, for I ''am'' power." |
| 334 | --->To Garland: "''You'' DARE to oppose ''ME''!?" |
| 335 | --->To Gilgamesh: "''TO THE RIFT WITH YOU''!" |
| 336 | ** And then, in the prequel, Gilgamesh joined the ranks, [[ExaggeratedTrope hammier than EVER]]! |
| 337 | --->"[[IncomingHam HERE I AAAAAAAM!]]"'\ |
| 338 | "''Chop, chop!'' NOT DONE YET!"\ |
| 339 | "''Skyhigh!'' CRUMBLE TO DUST!"\ |
| 340 | "FELL FOR IT!" |
| 341 | ** Seems to be a general thing for the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' characters to be especially hammy in battle. |
| 342 | --->'''Cecil''': "Beneath the light... '''COMES JUDGEMENT!'''"\ |
| 343 | '''Kain''': "'''CROSS''' the heavens! '''BOW DOWN!'''"\ |
| 344 | '''Golbez''': "Let us start! I'll '''ERASE''' you!" |
| 345 | * ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has quite a few standouts. |
| 346 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Blazing Blade]]'', General Wallace is certainly meant to be this way. |
| 347 | ---> '''Wallace''': Look! A giant walks among you!! My defense is impenetrable! COME! BREAK YOUR WEAPONS AGAINST ME! AHAHAHAHAHA! |
| 348 | ** Made even more obvious in his supports with Vaida, which are ''pure'' HamToHamCombat. |
| 349 | ** Sain is one of these as well, as evidenced by his PurpleProse and his eagerness to prove himself in front of cute girls. |
| 350 | ** Also, Devdan/Danved in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Path of Radiance]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]''. "DEVDAN HEARS THE SOUND OF BATTLE!" "Danved fight like 10 men!". Kieran fits this to a degree, but has more elements of a GenkiGirl. |
| 351 | *** And I quote, "I am Crimean Royal Knight, Fifth Platoon Captain Kieran! See me and tremble!" |
| 352 | ** Skrimir also had a LargeHam personality, especially at the start of his country's war. This lessened as the game went on, but he had a larger-than-life persona until the end. |
| 353 | ** Bastian is most definitely a ham even though he has no voice actor. Not that he needs one to be one of the most over-the-top characters in the game, constantly spouting Shakespearean sounding verse. |
| 354 | --->You think me one to don the cap and bells, and gambol in the street for petty coin? But soft, I see why you might mark me so. |
| 355 | ** Special mention goes to King Dheginsea of Goldoa for his incredibly hammy voice acting. |
| 356 | --->"[[MemeticMutation GOLDOA WILL NOT MOVE! FOR THE SAKE! OF! FUTURE GENERATIONS!]]" |
| 357 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' has Owain who makes sure to TitleDrop other titles in the franchise with his epic speeches and the IncomingHam ForGreatJustice that is Cynthia. |
| 358 | ** Owain's hamminess gets lampshaded in-story, when at the start of his Paralogue [[spoiler: his future mother Lissa]] asks Lucina how he is like, and she looks distressed and says "he's... rather colorful". The next scene has Owain unleashing his hamminess as he pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save a girl from bandits. |
| 359 | *** It's not just other ''Fire Emblem'' games... In a conversation with an Allied NPC in one of the DLC chapters, he promises to defend her with his technique of [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword "SKYWARD... SHIELD!"]] |
| 360 | ** Henry isn't normally super hammy, but he has a '''memorable''' moment in his supports with [[spoiler: Olivia]] when she collapses due to a curse and he has a massive FreakOut: |
| 361 | --->"[[spoiler: Olivia]]? H-hey, [[spoiler: Olivia.]] ... [[LikeyouWouldReallyDoIt You being crazy again]], [[spoiler: Olivia]]? [[spoiler: Olivia]]?! [[OhCrap Aw, come on]], [[spoiler: Olivia]]! [[HowDareYouDieOnMe You can't die now]]! [[BigNo NOOOOO]]! [[spoiler: [[SayMyName OLIVIAAAAAA]] ]]! [[PleaseDontLeaveMe Come back to me]], [[spoiler: Olivia]]! [[NoIndoorVoice Stay out of the light!]] [[ExaggeratedTrope STAY OUT OF THE LIIIIIIGHT!]]" |
| 362 | ** Noire's split personality is a mix of this, CuteAndPsycho, and NoIndoorVoice. It just makes for a completely delicious recipe for ham. '''[[IncomingHam BLOOD AND THUNDER!!!!]]''' |
| 363 | ** L'Arachel and Dozla from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones''. The former is a princess whose goal is to rid the lands from monsters ForGreatJustice, and lets everyone in the vicinity know [[IncomingHam the moment she enters the screen]], while the latter is her loyal servant who happily goes along with L'Arachel's antics and starts most of his sentences with a hearty "Gwah ha hah!" |
| 364 | ** The quote of pork was NOT missed in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', since the mere presence of the Nohrian fighter Arthur and Owain's BlackMage {{expy}} Odin simply ooze ham. From Arthur's permanent grin and LanternJawOfJustice, to Odin's HotBlooded declarations and battle shouts, to Creator/CamClarke and Creator/KaijiTang's gleeful voice acting in the localization... "BEWARE MY FISTS OF JUSTICE!" and "UNQUENCHABLE BLOOD FLAMES", indeed. [[spoiler: And Odin turns out to ''not'' be just Owain's {{expy}}... but ''Owain himself''.]] |
| 365 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' has Ferdinand von Aegir in the Japanese version. He introduces himself in battle with a very hammy rendition of saying his name, and in general, tends to overreact and/or display a lot of energy. It's downplayed in the English dub, however, as while he does have some hammy moments (notably his S-support), his [[Creator/BillyKametz voice actor]] uses a softer and more mild tone overall. |
| 366 | ** Also from ''Three Houses'', Rhea [[spoiler:during the Crimson Flower arc.]] |
| 367 | -->'''Rhea:''' [[spoiler:I... have ''passed judgement. And'' '''''now... I shall rip your chest open, and TAKE BACK YOUR HEART MYSELF!''''']] |
| 368 | * ''VideoGame/FossilFighters'' gives us the [[MaskedLuchador masked fighter]] Saurhead. At one point in the game, you have to challenge him for his mask. |
| 369 | * ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'' and its sequel: every single superhero AND villain can fall under this trope. |
| 370 | ** Even the ''{{Mooks}}'' are hammy. |
| 371 | -->'''[[MuggingTheMonster Random thug]]:''' Say hello to ''[[BatterUp mister bat!]]'' |
| 372 | * The creator/narrator/main character of ''VideoGame/FruitMystery'' is very much this. |
| 373 | ** "CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH! THOSE CORN CHIPS are like ating baby people says the alligator, 'very nice'" |
| 374 | * ''[[WorldOfHam Everyone]]'' is this in ''VideoGame/FZero'', particularly after ''GX''. Even the straight-faced, to-the-point Captain Falcon. |
| 375 | * ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'': Private Augustus Cole. His usual manner of fighting the enemy involves amusing insults and taunts, which escalates in ''Gears 2'', Act 4 when Delta hacks into the Locust Queen's propaganda and Cole delivers a frenzied slew of insults over the loudspeakers of the entire capital city. |
| 376 | -->''Delta squad is in your house bitch! You hear that shit!? You grubby-ass bitches are goin' down! Like, way down! Dead down! So down, you ain't even gonna know which way is up! Yo asses are gonna be cryin' to yo stank-ass queen! 'Oh mommy! Don't let the bad men hurt us!' Fuck you! We're gonna whoop yo momma's ass! WHOOO!!'' |
| 377 | * ''Every single character'' in ''VideoGame/GodHand''. Especially Gene, who has a smartass wisecrack for every situation and strikes goofy poses after most of his stronger moves. If you actually happen to connect with the impossibly slow yet extremely useful Yes Man Kablam move, he will look around and enjoy being cheered on by an invisible crowd. |
| 378 | --> '''Elvis''': I'm gettin' ''[[ChewingTheScenery hungry]]'', ''cabrone''!! |
| 379 | * Kratos from ''VideoGame/GodOfWar''. But the gods help you [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge if you call him that to his face]]. |
| 380 | ** [[RageAgainstTheHeavens ... which they probably can't, so it's better not to do so at all]]. |
| 381 | ** And everyone else. Is there anyone who isn't hammy? |
| 382 | * All of Grau's followers (though not Grau himself) and Xorn are this trope in ''VideoGame/GrandiaIII'', shouting nearly everything they say in as dramatic a manner as possible. Cases in point: |
| 383 | --> Kornell: No one calls me a PEABRAAAIIIINNNNN!!!!! |
| 384 | --> Violetta: Think I'm a bad girl? Maybe THESE will make it sting, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! |
| 385 | --> La Ilim: My power is eternal, HAH! |
| 386 | --> Emelious: The pain, the suffering, it'll all be OVER!!! |
| 387 | --> Xorn: ALL LOVE MUST PERRRIIISSSHHH! |
| 388 | * ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto2'': The priest in the church that serves as a save point in all three districts. |
| 389 | -->''HALLELUJAH! ''Another'' soul saved!'' |
| 390 | -->''DAAAAAAAAAAMNATION! No DONATION, no SALVATION!'' |
| 391 | ** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed in this case]], but the civilian and cop voices (when outside a car) are also rather cartoonish. |
| 392 | --->''HE'S GOT A GUN!!'' |
| 393 | --->''Hey I'm walkin' here!'' |
| 394 | --->'''''I SAID HOLD IT ASSHOLE!!''''' |
| 395 | * Ryder in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''. His description in the instructions manual is self-explanatory. |
| 396 | ** There's also Mike Toreno, which helps that he's voiced by Creator/JamesWoods. |
| 397 | * Brucie Kibbutz from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' is one of these, as he is a steroid junkie and exercise freak and must use as much ham as possible in almost everything he does. |
| 398 | * In ''VideoGame/GrowingUp'', Bobbie enjoys being dramatic and loves yelling when she acts out her lines and sings her favorite showtunes, even off the stage. Because of this, people often tell her to pipe down, to her frustration. |
| 399 | * ''VideoGame/DotHackGU'' has Haseo who can get pretty hammy, as can Piros the 3rd and [[Creator/CrispinFreeman Sakaki]]. |
| 400 | ** ''SKEEEIIIITH!!!'' |
| 401 | ** ''OVAAAAAAN!!!'' |
| 402 | * Father Grigori from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''. The last survivor of [[ZombieApocalypse Ravenholm]], he is a [[ChurchMilitant psychotic priest with a shotgun]]. Half his lines are shouted from rooftops, followed by an unnervingly EvilLaugh. He appears in only one chapter, yet is one of the most memorable things about the game. |
| 403 | * ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'': |
| 404 | ** It's hard to say which one is the larger ham in the original trilogy: the High Prophet of Truth or Gravemind. |
| 405 | --->'''Truth:''' You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking... what? That you might escape the coming fire? Your world will burn until its surface is but glass!\ |
| 406 | '''Gravemind:''' Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness for father's sins cast to his son.\ |
| 407 | '''Gravemind:''' You '''will''' show me what she hides, or I WILL FEAST UPON YOUR '''BONES!'''\ |
| 408 | '''Gravemind:''' I have beaten FLEETS of THOUSANDS! CONSUMED a galaxy of FLESH and MIND and BONE!!!! |
| 409 | ** And then there's Sergeant Avery Johnson. |
| 410 | --->"When I joined the corps, we didn't have any fancy shmancy tanks! We had STICKS! Two sticks and a rock for the whole platoon! And we had to SHARE the rock!" |
| 411 | ** Though he usually doesn't yell, Shipmaster Rtas "Half-Jaw" 'Vadum is just awesome every time he speaks. |
| 412 | --->'''Spec Ops Elites:''' We shall grind them into dust...\ |
| 413 | '''Rtas:''' ...And continue our march to GLORIOUS SALVATION! |
| 414 | ** Hell, once they started speaking "English" in ''VideoGame/Halo2'', it became clear that most of the Elites were hams. It's amazing, considering their odd mouth shapes, how well they're able to chew the scenery. |
| 415 | ** ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'': |
| 416 | *** The Promethean soldiers are all very eager to announce how '''humanity is a blight on the galaxy''' and how they are '''moving to that position''' in loud, synthetic voices. But even they are nowhere near the level of the Largest, Loudest Ham of all, '''The Warden Eternal(!)''', who towers above the battlefield taunting the characters no matter how many times they kill him. |
| 417 | *** The pilots of [[MiniMecha Grunt Goblins]] in the Warzone game mode loudly [[CallingYourAttacks announce their attacks]] in a way that would not be out of place in a SuperRobot anime and can be heard from across the entire map. |
| 418 | ---->HYPER ATTACK!\ |
| 419 | NEEDLE CANNON!\ |
| 420 | ROBO PUNCH!\ |
| 421 | MUTUAL ASSURED DESTRUCTION!\ |
| 422 | YOU'RE DEAD, AND I WILL LIVE '''FOREVER!''' |
| 423 | * ''VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'' has its fair share of hams, but considering the cards you play range from {{Badass Normal}}s to ElementalEmbodiment lords to BigRedDevil DemonicInvaders to Dragon Aspects, this is all par the course for anything set in the Warcraft universe. |
| 424 | ** Special mention to one of the Warlock Legendary cards, who replaces Gul'dan and announces his presence in the most gloriously hamtastic manner. |
| 425 | --> '''YOU FACE JARAXXUS! EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION!''' |
| 426 | * King Bohan from ''VideoGame/HeavenlySword'' definitely qualifies, mugging for the camera, asking questions on how his generals DO what they do, and enjoying everything he does. |
| 427 | ** Flying Fox, from the same game, also qualifies. [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6o8apullXM "I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE styyyyyyle!"]]. |
| 428 | * The Dung Defender in ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' [[IncomingHam introduces his fight with a bellow of "BAAAAA HUNDAAAAAAA"]] and "talks" constantly during the boss battle, showing a particular affection for "DOMA! Doma doma doma!", which appears to translate as "[[BoisterousBruiser I'm having a wonderful time throwing all this shit at you]]". |
| 429 | ** In the DLC, Grimm looks like an insect version of Dracula, spends his time making Dramatic Proclamations, and his boss fight has some pretty bombastic musical accompaniment. |
| 430 | * ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'' has a surprisingly understated -- for a Bioware game -- BigBad, but Emperor Sun Hai loves his pork, as does the requisite SociopathicHero, Black Whirlwind. |
| 431 | * ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' has a bunch. Samos; [[spoiler:Erol]] after he develops {{Omnicidal Mania|c}}; Baron Praxis ('''IF THE CITY MUST DIE, THEN WE ALL DIE!!!'''), and several minor characters, especially the fisherman in the first game. |
| 432 | * Thanatos in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''. This is even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the English version due to a translation error in the original game which called him "Tanatos". He says that the new "h" is for "hamazing!" |
| 433 | ** [[spoiler:Thanatos is easily out-hammed by Pyrrhon, a self-proclaimed god of the sun who talks like a really cheesy superhero and '''loves''' to boast.]] |
| 434 | ---> [[spoiler:What?! I can't hear you over all this awesome!]] |
| 435 | ** Pit's dialogue in just about all of the intros to the boss fights are almost certainly parodies of this type of thing. |
| 436 | * ''VideoGame/{{killer7}}'' gives us Andrei Ulmeyda of the Cloudman chapter. His monologue says it all. An excerpt: |
| 437 | --> ''"Have you ever MET the kind of PEOPLE who come to these STACEY CONCERTS? These DUDES have got ENERGY TO SPARE! We're talking GUYS WHO BEAT OFF FOUR TIMES A DAY!"'' |
| 438 | * Scolar Visari from ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}} 2'' (voiced by the mightly Brian Cox), especially during propaganda videos. |
| 439 | --> "We shall unleash such terrible vengeance, that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish!" |
| 440 | ** "WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES!" |
| 441 | ** "We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors' graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities... they will know: Helghan belongs to the Helghast." |
| 442 | ** Even when he's cornered by guys with guns, he still manages to sound incredibly intimidating: "And who are you, ''soldier''?" |
| 443 | ** Hakha from the first game draws attention to himself with each word that comes out of his mouth, whether he's talking about the mission at hand or making a simple observation. |
| 444 | ** This exchange... |
| 445 | ---> '''Rico:''' "Sev, Garza! Heads up! You've got two companies heading your way!"\ |
| 446 | '''Garza:''' "What's the good news?"\ |
| 447 | '''Rico:''' "YOU GET TO KILL THEM." |
| 448 | ** Chairman Stahl ''and'' Admiral Orlock, the main Helghast leaders from Killzone 3, are every bit Visari's equal thanks to the talents of Creator/MalcolmMcDowell and Creator/RayWinstone respectively. Given that they're also bitter rivals, they engage in generous [[{{Pun}} servings]] of HamToHamCombat at Helghast committee meetings. |
| 449 | * Ansem from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' ([[spoiler:Actually, Xehanort. The true "Ansem" is actually very good at avoiding this]]). His first few scenes has him speaking in a CreepyMonotone... and then comes the epic FinalBoss battle, in which ''every line'' he speaks (in both the battle and cutscenes surrounding it, in both Japanese and English versions) is made of pure ham: |
| 450 | -->'''Ansem''': So, you have come this far and '''STILL''' you understand '''NOTHING'''. Every light must fade, every heart return to '''DARKNESS!''' |
| 451 | ** His [[Creator/RichardEpcar new VA]] in KHII turns up the ham even more with his rendition. |
| 452 | --->'''Ansem''': [[Franchise/KingdomHearts KINGDOM HEEEEAAAAARRRRRTS!! FILL ME... WITH THE POWER OF DARKNESS!!!!!!]] |
| 453 | ** His Nobody, Xemnas, is this to a lesser degree. [[ColdHam His voice is an emotionless drone, but he likes to inflect alot of his words and make outrageous body gestures while doing so.]] "Hearts are power! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Nothingness...iiiis...eternaaaaaal!]]" |
| 454 | ** While perhaps only a sandwich compared to the honey-glazed goodness of Ansem [[spoiler:AKA Xehanort]], Maleficent in the first game also is a bit hammy. |
| 455 | ---> '''Maleficent''': A bit? Do you remember "THE TRUE DARKNESS!" or "You think you can defeat ''me?'' '''ME, THE MISTRESS OF ALL EVIL!?"''' |
| 456 | ** Frustrated with her period of VillainDecay in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', Maleficent gets even hammier. "A DOMINION FIT TO BE CALLED KINGDOM HEARTS MUST BE MY DOMINION!" "I DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM YOU!" "THIS CASTLE WILL BE MIIINE!" |
| 457 | ** And then there's Hades who, in the first game, only really yelled once: a restrained "He makes me CRAZY!" But in the second game, he yells, "'''YOU ARE [[{{Pun}} FIRED!!]]'''" during his battle with Auron, with little provoking. And then, during the final battle with him: |
| 458 | --->'''Hades''': HOW DARE YOU HAVE A HAPPY ENDING! HOW DARE YOU! |
| 459 | ** Saïx in [[TheBerserker Berserk]] [[{{Lunacy}} Mode]] also fits, which is strange since he's TheStoic otherwise. |
| 460 | --->'''Saïx''': ALL SHALL BE '''LOST''' TO YOU! |
| 461 | --->'''Saïx''': I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH '''NOTHING!''' |
| 462 | ** Seems this is endemic with anyone associated to Xehanort as ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]]'''s BigBad, Master Xehanort, can give Ansem[[spoiler:/Xehanort's Heartless]] and Xemnas a run for their money. [[spoiler: Natch, because he's the precursor to ''all of them''.]] Helps to be voiced by Creator/LeonardNimoy. |
| 463 | --->'''Master Xehanort''': "'''[[NoIndoorVoice BEHOLD!]]''' These lifeless keys used to be full of ''power.'' United with the hearts of their masters, on this barren soil, Keyblades of light and darkness were ''[[MilkingTheGiantCow locked in combat!]]'' As the great Keyblade War '''RAAAGGED!'''" |
| 464 | ** [[TheDragon Vanitas']] helmet seems to act as a ham filter, as he spends most of his time with it on talking in the smug voice of a MagnificentBastard who knows there's nothing the heroes can do to stop him. Once it's off, you can tell his voice actor (in both versions) really starts to enjoy himself. |
| 465 | ** Let's just face it, if you're a villain, and you're in ''KH'', you're a ham. The amazing voice actors definitely help. |
| 466 | ** In ''Re:Coded'', Sora gets his own hammy moment. It is then {{lampshade|Hanging}}d. |
| 467 | ---> '''Sora:''' I never would have made it here without the three of you. But it's my turn now. Let me be your light, and I'll show you the way home! |
| 468 | ---> '''Donald:''' Um, isn't that hamming it up a little? |
| 469 | ** Back in ''Re:Chain of Memories'', Larxene's actresses in English and Japanese at least could not be having more fun voicing the most sadistic member of Organization XIII; every line Larxene speaks makes it sound like she's gleefully skipping through a meadow of evil, kicking children and puppies as she goes and loving every single second of it. Marluxia can get hammy himself, but Larxene is probably the biggest ham of that game. |
| 470 | ** PlayedForLaughs with TheMaster of Masters in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'', who [[ManChild gets pouty and sulky]] when he's denied the chance to make a grandiose speech. It helps that both Creator/TomokazuSugita and Creator/RayChase [[ChewingTheScenery chew the hell out of every line they're given]]. |
| 471 | --->'''Master of Masters:''' ''[to Luxu]'' The fact that it exists is proof of your success. That means you found a worthy apprentice, passed down that ''handsome'' Keyblade, and fulfilled your role! ''[begins clapping enthusiastically]'' '''Congratulations'''! |
| 472 | * Shamir Shamazel can be this in the voiced version of ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVIHeirTodayGoneTomorrow''. Some of his hamminess in a few scenes (and disguises) has been taken to ridiculous new levels. |
| 473 | * ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'': For such an AxCrazy SinisterMinister who seeks to [[spoiler:summon a god that will ''destroy everything,'']] Hyness is surprisingly expressive. So much, in fact, that he flails his arms around constantly during his entire MotiveRant. |
| 474 | * ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' '''DEMACIAAAAAAAA!''' |
| 475 | ** League of Legends could almost have it's own page -- so many of the characters ham it up in their quotes. Veigar and Nocturne are particularly hammy. The 'Brolaf' skin for Olaf certainly counts too. |
| 476 | ---> Brolaf: BROMACIAAAAA!!! |
| 477 | ** Draven must have eaten nothing but ham, true to his nature as a massive AttentionWhore. |
| 478 | ** Kled's voice lines are laden with yelling. Foul-mouthed, AxCrazy yelling. Mostly about killing people. |
| 479 | --->''YOU ARE PERTURBIN' MAH TRANQUILLITY!'' |
| 480 | ** Part of the OddCouple dynamic between Xayah and Rakan is that Xayah is quiet, nigh-emotionless and strategic, and Rakan is...none of those things. Sometimes he will open a match with a yell of "THE PARTY STARTS NOW!" |
| 481 | --->'''Xayah:''' Keep 'em distracted.\ |
| 482 | '''Rakan:''' That shouldn't be a problem! |
| 483 | * ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'': Church Guy seems to be enjoying himself more than can possibly be healthy. DING DONG, DING DONG! |
| 484 | * ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'', by virtue of the flowery script and a cast made up of classically trained actors. All the main characters get a go, but [[HamToHamCombat Kain and the Elder God]] really take the cake. |
| 485 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': |
| 486 | ** The King of Hyrule in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames'' is worth the price of admission alone. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNpLXo55yfw Mah boi!]] This peace is what ''all'' true warriors strive for?" "''Enough!'' My ship sails in the morning. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mHw5g55oC4 ...I wonder what's for dinner?]]" |
| 487 | ** [[BigBad Ganon]] is also fairly impressive. |
| 488 | ---> "You '''DARE''' bring light to my lair?! '''YOU MUST DIE!'''" |
| 489 | ** Link is pretty hammy in the CD-i games too. |
| 490 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker's'' Ganondorf: YOUR GODS DESTROYED YOU!! |
| 491 | ** Ganondorf's pretty good at this all around. Let's keep in mind that, as Ganon, he is literally [[FullBoarAction a Large Ham]]. |
| 492 | --->"CURSE YOU SAGES! CURSE YOU ZELDA! CURSE YOU LINK!" |
| 493 | ----> I believe you mean, "CURSE YOU ZELDA! CURSE YOU [[HelloInsertNameHere Link]]!" |
| 494 | ** Ganondorf's {{Expy}} in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks'', Malladus, might be a pretty extreme example: He gets barely three lines in the whole game, but each of them is so incredibly hammy, Ganondorf himself would probably back off: |
| 495 | --->"'''RELEASE ME!!!'''" |
| 496 | ---->"This body... is rejecting my spirit... I'm... slipping from it... ... I can't hold on for long... ''but the world will crumble in the time I have left!''" |
| 497 | ** And what about ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword's'' Ghirahim? "FURIOUS! ''OUTRAGED!'' '''''SICK WITH ANGER!'''''" |
| 498 | *** Or, "This news has just filled my heart with RAINBOWS!" |
| 499 | * White Knight Leo from ''VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue''. |
| 500 | -->"I AM NOT WHITE KNIGHT LEO! I AM THE AMAZING '''MYSTERE!!!''' PROTECTOR OF THE INNOCENT AND... uh... DEFENDER OF... '''TRUTH!!!'''" |
| 501 | ** Ghaleon from ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'' and its remakes and sequels count as well. ''Especially'' the first remake. |
| 502 | -->"Not [[spoiler:"Ghaleon"]], dear Quark! '''MAGIC EMPEROR [[spoiler:GHALEON]]'''!!!" |
| 503 | [[/folder]] |
| 504 | |
| 505 | [[folder:M-S]] |
| 506 | * King Drake the third from ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'', who comes complete with ridiculously overblown posing, pyrotechnics when he says his name, and a {{leitmotif}} that sounds like someone's national anthem. Oh, and he's voiced by [[PigeonholedVoiceActor Norio Wakamoto]]. His hamminess is the major reason why the other overlords consider him [[SmugSnake a first-class twat]]. |
| 507 | ** Zetta's first appearance is so hammy that it not only leaves chew marks on the scenery but also sets it on fire (''literally''), but he mellows down after his unfortunate transformation. Which isn't to say that he no longer hams it up: |
| 508 | --->'''Zetta''': Disperse, loyal battle monkeys! Do my bidding and bust a cap! |
| 509 | *** Hey! Double points for he's voiced here by Creator/CrispinFreeman in the English version. |
| 510 | ** Likewise Zetta's long time love Salome hams it up big time in the final chapter of the game, shocking even Zetta with her [[ChewingTheScenery scenery chewing]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy insanity]]. |
| 511 | ** It is a job requirement for every Demon Overlord in the Disgaea/NISverse to ham it up as strongly and often as possible. |
| 512 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Mana|KhemiaAlchemistsofAlRevis}} [[VideoGame/ManaKhemia2FallofAlchemy Khemia]]'' games have Flay "Defender of Justice!" "[=FLAYvor=] of Evil!" Gunnar. Words cannot express his sheer hammy insanity. His rival Tony Eisler has plenty of moments of his own too, frequently devolving into {{Angrish}} and vowing revenge. |
| 513 | ** There's a LOT of prime ham in the games, especially in ''Fall of Alchemy''. Practically everyone except Razeluxe is a ham at some point, and Chloe even manages to be a monotone Large Ham. Reicher comes in a pretty close third behind Flay and Tony, which is no small feat. It doesn't hurt that he shares a voice actor with Dissidia's Kefka. |
| 514 | * Fawful from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'', although mainly ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Bowser's Inside Story]]''. He's already got the over the top opinion of himself, but a villain that talks in ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'' style Engrish, treats everything like a show and shouts his lines in bold text? LargeHam indeed. |
| 515 | ** And Bowser himself would like to remind you that he's '''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 HUUUUUUUUUUUGE]]'''! |
| 516 | * ''VideoGame/MarvelVSCapcom3'' has Thor's hammy speech which the player can activate at will mid fight. |
| 517 | --> '''HEED MY WORDS EVIL DOERS! IF THOU WISHETH TO CHALLENGE THE ODIN SON, THOU SHALT FEEL THE WRATH OF MIGHTY MJÖLLNIR! NEVER SHALL THE GOD OF THUNDER RELENT!''' |
| 518 | * Harbinger from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. Guy loves the sound of his own voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f9PKIEAKX0 |
| 519 | ** '''ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.''' , '''WE ARE HARBINGER.''' and a multitude of other synthetic(but no less porcine) declarations will fill your eardrums whenever you fight the Collectors. |
| 520 | ** The bone-rattling ham hocks of Sovereign. |
| 521 | --->''We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.'' |
| 522 | ** Once he loses his cool, he firmly sinks his giant metal tentacles into the scenery, and refuses to let go until you blast him off it. |
| 523 | *** Sovereign is nearly unique among hams though, due to his CreepyMonotone. Somehow the mix of incredibly hammy writing, over the top voice effects, and a forceful yet monotone delivery blends together in such a way that avoids {{narm}}. It's a shame the same can't be said of Harbinger... |
| 524 | ** '''I AM SOVEREIGN, AND THIS STATION IS MINE'''! |
| 525 | ** Foolish lesser creatures! No mention of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH-8fzQechY Niftu Cal]], '''[[AGodAmI BIOTIC GOD?]]''' He shall be included here, for He is '''biotics made HAM!''' ''Fear Him!'' [[spoiler: but first, He needs to take a nap...]] |
| 526 | *** He'll destroy the universe later. |
| 527 | ** [[TheDragon Saren]]: |
| 528 | --->'''Shepard:''' I'd rather die than live like that! |
| 529 | --->'''Saren:''' Then you ''will'' die. And your companions. Everyone you know and love. Everyone you've ''ever met''. Don't you understand? ''You will'' '''''all DIE!!!''''' |
| 530 | ** Renegade Shepard. Primarily Male Renegade Shepard as Female Shepard is a bit more subtle. |
| 531 | ** The duel between Morinth and Samara comes across as HamToHamCombat. |
| 532 | ** That one krogan in Mordin's mission, who talks too much. |
| 533 | ** If you take the Renegade interrupt in Kasumi's loyalty mission: "'''[[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]]''' '''KILL THEM!'''" Of course, Donovan Hock is ''generally'' extremely over-the-top, probably to show off his [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent allegedly Afrikaans accent]], but that's the point where he jettisons his limited supply of self-control and dives enthusiastically into a large vat of overacting. |
| 534 | ** [[RousingSpeech Our influence stopped the rachni, but before that, we held the line! Our influence stopped the Krogan, but before that, we held the line. Our influence WILL stop Saren! In the battle today, we will HOLD THE LINE!]] |
| 535 | *** Prefer to get job done and go home, personally. |
| 536 | ** [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Ambassador Udina]] has elements of this in the first Mass Effect, with all his bravado and rolled r's. |
| 537 | ** Some of Grunt's combat dialogue is very hammy. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis "I! AM! KROGAN!"]]''' Indeed you are, Grunt. |
| 538 | * ''VideoGame/MeatBoy'': '''WAAARP ZOOOOOOOOOOONE!''' |
| 539 | * High Max from ''VideoGame/MegaManX6''. Though he got only a few lines of dialogue and even they are not voiced, his amazing BossBanter by Creator/{{NORIO WAKAMOTO}} makes him more than just a filler character he is.

| 540 | ** '''WALLOW IN DESPAIR AND HOPELESSNESS!''' |
| 541 | *** It helps that in the English dub of ''X8'', Sigma is voiced by [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Master Asia]]. |
| 542 | ** Lumine, also from ''X8'', is pretty over-the-top though he has a [[ColdHam generally calm voice]]. |
| 543 | * Teisel Bonne from ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' isn't in here yet? For shame. |
| 544 | -->'''Teisel Bonne:''' I said... '''''CLOOOOSE''''' the '''''HAAAATCH!!!''''' |
| 545 | * Most villains in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' games qualify for this, particularly MagnificentBastard Revolver Ocelot and Liquid Snake; when the two end up sharing a body, the ham goes to untold levels. The incredibly melodramatic DeathSeeker Fortune is even insultingly called a ham actress by one of the other characters... In this case, [[HypocriticalHumor Ocelot himself.]] |
| 546 | ** Snake? Snake?! '''SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!''' |
| 547 | ** [[spoiler:Snake... Did you like my SUNGLASSES?]] |
| 548 | ** LetsPlay: General Ironicus noted that Otacon is the only character in ''Metal Gear'' that doesn't overact by nature. |
| 549 | ** '''''[[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance I'M FUCKING INVINCIBLE!]]''''' [[labelnote:Note]]It's Creator/CrispinFreeman, so can you expect anything less than delicious ham?[[/labelnote]] |
| 550 | *** He's most definitely outclassed, however, by his superior, Senator Armstrong, whose '''"NANOMACHINES, ''SON!''"''' seem to boost his ham levels above even his combat capacity. |
| 551 | ** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' certainly doesn't disappoint in this department, particularly with its main villain, Skull Face: |
| 552 | -->Such a '''lust''' for revenge... '''WHOOOOOO?!''' |
| 553 | * ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorVanguard'': Several of the Allied Soldiers, especially the Bazooka Operator. |
| 554 | ** Alright charge is set, GET CLEAR! |
| 555 | ** MOVE, GET OUT OF HERE! |
| 556 | ** Get me down, CUT ME DOWN FROM HERE, HURRY I HEAR MORE GERMANS NEARBY! |
| 557 | ** GERMANS, TWO OF THEM, BEHIND THAT OLD TREE! |
| 558 | ** YOU GOT THAT BAZOOKA PIECE, YOU'LL NEEEEEEEEED IT! |
| 559 | ** I bet you can't spot it from the air! SNEAKY KRAUTS! |
| 560 | ** JESUS CHRIST IT'S A TIGER TANK! |
| 561 | ** IV'E GOT THAT BAZOOKA! |
| 562 | ** FIRE! |
| 563 | ** SHUT UP AND HELP ME GET THIS BAZOOKA READY! |
| 564 | * ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'': |
| 565 | ** "RICHAAAAARD!" |
| 566 | ** '''MICHAEL!''' counts, too. |
| 567 | * ''Mishap 2: An Intentional Haunting'' has Larry Lerpis, aka "The Savage Romeo," who sports the most ludicrous outfit in pro wrestling history and constantly speaks in his idea of Shakespearean English, making ridiculous boasts and praising himself to the skies. |
| 568 | * ''Franchise/MortalKombat'': |
| 569 | ** Shao Kahn, just....Shao Kahn. |
| 570 | ** Shang has a few moments as do Cage and the other kombatants, but Shao is easily the biggest ham in the series. |
| 571 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'': "BRING ME! BLUE PAGES!" |
| 572 | ** Achenar gets even hammier if you free him. |
| 573 | ** [[Creator/BradDourif Saavedro, too]]. "No. No. Idiot. *cue the ham* NO! NO NO NO!" |
| 574 | * While there is a lot of overacting in ''VideoGame/NamcoHigh'', at least insofar as there are lots of capitalised words, the main sources of EXTREME EMPHASIS would be Richard Miller, Tomari, Al B. Tross and Principal Dig Dug. |
| 575 | * [[BigBad Master Contra]] in ''VideoGame/NeoContra''. Loud voice, EvilLaugh, {{Hannibal Lecture}}s, you name it. He's even voiced by Creator/SteveBlum! Check out this quote below if you know what I mean. |
| 576 | --> "Interesting... Hopefully they will prove entertaining. Something to pass the time while the final preparations are completed. [[GigglingVillain Heheheheh.]] [[EvilLaugh Heheheheh...]] '''''[[LaughingMad HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]]'''''" |
| 577 | * The voice samples the player has to choose from for the PC of ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' are almost all examples of epic ham. It really makes it hard to play a taciturn character when your PC keeps shouting "My STEEL...will STRIKE TRUE!" |
| 578 | ** "Attack! Ah sayyyyyyyyyy, attack!" |
| 579 | ** "Prepare to become one... with eternity." |
| 580 | ** "DIE! DIE! DIE! [=DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEhehehehe...=]" |
| 581 | ** "TIME FOR A BIT OF A GAME!" |
| 582 | ** "I'M HERE! FIGHT ME!" |
| 583 | ** Some of the {{N|onPlayerCharacter}}[=PCs=]' voicesets do this too. Quoth Valen: "Into the flames we leap!" |
| 584 | ** A lot of the companions are like this too. ''Especially'' [[BarbarianHero Dae]][[NobleSavage lan]] [[HalfHumanHybrid Red]]-[[OurOrcsAreDifferent Tiger]]. |
| 585 | ** They actually kept the original voicesets for ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'', as well as added some new ones. Among these is the "Dramatic" voiceset... |
| 586 | ** "Your death has been TOO long DELAYED!" |
| 587 | * In ''VideoGame/NightTrap'', the guy playing Lt. Simms is deadly serious and is not above disconnecting your controller if you screw up or don't start the game fast enough. |
| 588 | ** Mr. Martin ("THE WALL TRAP! AAAAAAAAAAAH!"). |
| 589 | * Ori from ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'' dips into this on occasion thanks to her GenkiGirl personality. She does everything with tons of energy, and her voice actress shouts half her lines so you ''know'' how excitable she is. |
| 590 | * ''Every'' Glukkon in ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}''. |
| 591 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF0sgtcZwDY "Disengage Operation Lightning Bolt!"]] |
| 592 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfYHgQ225Y8 "PUUUUUMP IT UP!"]] |
| 593 | ** Director Phleg, with his numerous mood swings and outbursts, is probably the definition of Glukkon hamminess. |
| 594 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRuWCQF4FPM&feature=related "IT AINT MY FAULT! ITS DAT ABE GUY! FIRST RUPTURE FAAAMS, NOW NECRUM MIIINES, THERE AINT NO BONES ANYWUH! NO BONES, NO BROOOO! I AM TOTALLY SCROOOOOOOOOOOOED! MY CAREER IS OOOVER! AND ITS ALL DAT BLUE BASTARDS FAULT!!"]] |
| 595 | * Though it's only in text, we can get the idea that ''VideoGame/{{OFF}}'''s [[LargeAndInCharge Enoch]] is one [[{{Woolseyism}} Big]] [[MemeticMutation Bacon]] indeed. |
| 596 | -->"Yaaaahahaha!!! In the shadow of death valley you shall fear the apostle of darkness!" |
| 597 | * ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'': Susano, the self-proclaimed 'greatest warrior ever' and descendant of the hero Nagi. Nagi, while a bit more disciplined than Susano, can get pretty hammy too. |
| 598 | * ''VideoGame/Onmyoji2016'' has the cultured lad Yōko who always uses flowery classical language and very dramatic intonation. Creator/NobunagaShimazaki must be having a great time voicing him. |
| 599 | * ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', Blizzard's newest IP, has plenty of hams, the largest and hammiest being the ten-foot-tall hammer-wielding power-armored BoisterousBruiser knight known as Reinhardt. |
| 600 | -->'''Reinhardt:''' Huh! Honor! Justice! Reinhardt! Reinhardt! Reinhardt! Hahahaha! |
| 601 | * Despite not having any voiced dialogue, Rawk Hawk from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' is ''insanely'' hammy. This is fitting, though -- he's a professional fighter, and grandstanding is part of the biz. If you mess with the Hawk, you're gonna get '''''RAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWKED!''''' |
| 602 | ** Flint Cragley, as well as some of the villians, in ''Super Paper Mario'' certainly qualify. |
| 603 | ** {{B|igBad}}owser too. Especially in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'', where his [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever size increases]] along with his ham. |
| 604 | --->'''Bowser''': I'M HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE! |
| 605 | *** Big Massif and Lil Massif in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'' are about as hammy as you can get! |
| 606 | ---> BEEF! STEAK! PRIME STEAK! BEEF MUSCLE UP! |
| 607 | * Joe Chin from ''VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper''. "'''''Hi!'''''" |
| 608 | * ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'': |
| 609 | ** The [[EnemyWithin Shadow bosses]] of ''VideoGame/Persona4'' are, as a general rule, ''far'' hammier than the people they're a Shadow of. For example, [[MadScientist Shadow Naoto]]. ''"Why '''DELUDE''' yourself?! '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I AM YOU!]]'''"'' Doubles as FridgeLogic when you understand the psychology behind the Shadows. They represent the repressed id, the basic impulsive mind overridden by self-control, discipline and denial by the superego. ''They have literally no self-control''. This is especially true of the YamatoNadeshiko Yukiko, whose mild demeanour hides [[spoiler: a bitter resentment at being held back and having fate decided for her, and her desire for freedom]]. |
| 610 | ** Continued in ''VideoGame/Persona5'', with Shadows and now Personas as well all acting completely over the top, due to representing their human selves' hidden emotions. For instance, the seemingly mild-mannered main character's GuardianEntity / "other self", Arsene: |
| 611 | --->'''Arsene:''' For the sake of the justice you believed in, make the blasphemers repent! [[EvilLaugh Hahahaha]]! |
| 612 | ** For that matter, the ''Persona 5'' protagonist himself gleefully hams it up whenever he's in PhantomThief mode; despite being TheQuietOne, his body language speaks volumes. |
| 613 | ** [[spoiler: Goro Akechi]] after he shows his true colors. |
| 614 | ---> "Here. I'll show you... who I really am. Come... '''LOKIIIIIIIIII!'''". |
| 615 | * Lashiec/Lassic from ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIV'' was amusingly hammy for a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Zombie King Sorceror]]. |
| 616 | * Elsewhere in the Creator/{{Nippon Ichi}}verse, we have ''VideoGame/PhantomBrave'''s [[RevengeBeforeReason Sprout]], who puts the "roaring" in RoaringRampageOfRevenge on a regular basis. |
| 617 | -->'''BLASPHEMY INCARNATE!!!! DARK EBOREUS!!!!''' |
| 618 | * [[InsistentTerminology Crasher Wake]], the [[ProfessionalWrestling pro wrestler]]-themed Gym Leader of Pastoria City in ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' games. |
| 619 | ** "[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite I'm absolutely perfect.]] [[IAmTheNoun I AM PERFECTION!]]" |
| 620 | ** Loudred in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers''. It's just the way his species is, though. |
| 621 | *** Palkia as well, WHO SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS. He's also extremely fond of ChewingTheScenery, which is what sets him apart from the similarly speaking in ALL CAPS Dialga: |
| 622 | --->'''"YOU DARE TO DISTORT SPACE? WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!?"''' |
| 623 | ** Brycen in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'' when he's onscreen at Pokéwood/Pokéstar as Brycen Man. |
| 624 | ** The announcer in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonStadium Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'' gets into this a lot, especially when you pull off a OHKO. |
| 625 | *** "JUDGEMENT HAS BEEN DEALT!" |
| 626 | *** "RIPPED BY ROAR OF TIME!" |
| 627 | *** "TORN APART BY SPACIAL REND!" |
| 628 | *** "*Insert Pokémon here* is barely hanging on!" |
| 629 | ** The announcer in the original ''Pokémon Stadium'' was no slouch in this department, either. |
| 630 | *** “OH! It’s [[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable EE-kans]]!” |
| 631 | *** “TAKEN DOWN ON THE WORD ‘GO’!” |
| 632 | *** “RIDE THAT SURF!” |
| 633 | *** “IS IT DOWN AND OUT?!” |
| 634 | *** “WOW! Going down!” |
| 635 | * Alex Mercer channels several hundred pounds of [[ImAHumanitarian long pork]] during one mission in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}''. He must have eaten '''[[Creator/BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED]]''' at some point. |
| 636 | ** NOTHING WILL YOU PROTECT YOU FROM ME! NOT MEN! NOT WEAPONS! NOT ARMOR! |
| 637 | ** NO ONE CAN PROTECT YOU FROM ME! |
| 638 | ** DIG IN! LIKE THAT'S GONNA MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE! |
| 639 | ** KEEP RUNNING, YOU BASTARD! |
| 640 | ** [[Narm/VideoGames TAGGART! YOU SUICIDAL MORON!]] |
| 641 | * ''VideoGame/PsiOpsTheMindgateConspiracy'', in the case of every single villain in the game. |
| 642 | ** [[DemonicPossession Nicholas Wrightson]] and [[MindOverMatter Edgar Barret]], particularly in their boss battle scenes: "THEY COME FROM ''BEYOOOOND!''" "RUN LIKE A '''BITCH!'''" |
| 643 | * Razputin from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''. He's voiced by [[PigeonholedVoiceActor Richard Horvitz]], who almost exclusively plays {{Large Ham}}s in small bodies. Raz isn't quite up to the [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim]] extreme, but he does get some good ones: |
| 644 | --> '''Raz:''' [[InformingTheFourthWall Before I can use this machine]], I need to go to the Camp Store... ''to buy some '''delicious taffy!''''' |
| 645 | ** Dr. Loboto |
| 646 | --->'''Loboto:''' I hate to be so blunt, m'boy, but ''you'' have the ''insanity''... of a '''''MANATEE!'''''\ |
| 647 | \ |
| 648 | '''Loboto:''' You'll be singing a different tune. A tune in the key of '''BRAINS!''' |
| 649 | ** Ginny Westcott as the '''Den Mother'''. Even in a game notable for its {{Large Ham}}s her scenery chewing stands out. "''The milk is NOT ready, and YOU are NOT ready for the MILK!''" |
| 650 | *** But Coach Oleander takes the cake. |
| 651 | * Super Macho Man from ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' (Wii): "[[VideoGame/PunchOut Are you READY? Cause I'm gonna put on a SHOW!]]" ([[PecFlex Flexes chest]] at the camera and winks, then [[{{Squick}} turns round and flexes ass.]]) |
| 652 | * ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'' loves this trope. With a villain named Doctor Nefarious, is there any other way it could go? |
| 653 | -->"This is your home. The Great Clock! A marvel of science and sorcery, in the [[PunctuatedForEmphasis EXACT! CENTER! OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!]] Give or take 50 feet." |
| 654 | ** While fairly mild compared to Doctor Nefarious, Lord Vorselon in ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime A Crack in Time]]'' has his moments as well. |
| 655 | ** Captain Quark's dialogue is made to be done this way. Whenever he isn't being either clueless or cowardly, he's being overly dramatic. |
| 656 | * ''VideoGame/RazingStorm'' is what happens when you take ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'' spinoff ''Crisis Zone'' and give the entire cast the acting of a a gung-ho military heroes movie. Your comrades scream whenever one of your own is downed or encounter the enemies' latest mechs, and shower you in praises whenever you're playing very well. |
| 657 | * ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemptionUndeadNightmare'': '''"I'M HERBERT MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON"''' |
| 658 | * ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'': |
| 659 | ** Barry Burton from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1''. As in "a DINING room!" "You would have been a JILL sandwich!" This man is truly the biggest ham in video game history. |
| 660 | *** "Just -- ''take -- a -- look -- at -- '''this!''''' It's FOREST! '''Oh. My. COD!'''" |
| 661 | *** "What a ''monster!'' I can't believe -- ''WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE, ANYWAY?!''" |
| 662 | ** Barry's hamminess is thoroughly topped by Wesker in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''. How hammy is he? He spends the final chapter engaging in one long monologue after the other, even going so far as to pause in the middle of a fight with his gun to Chris' head just so he can keep telling Chris how much of an [[AGodAmI awesome god he will be]]. This hamming has been justified by his VillainousBreakdown. |
| 663 | *** "A new Genesis is at hand, and '''I''' will ''be'' its '''CREATOR.'''" |
| 664 | *** Soon we will be at the optimal altitude for ''[[MemeticMutation complete....]]'''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis global....SATURATION.]]''' '' |
| 665 | *** Has it '''never''' occurred to you that this planet is '''overpopulated!?''' Only a handful of humans '''TRULY''' matter. Everyone else is just so much chaff. So now, I have to seperate this chaff from the wheat. And with Uroboros, I can '''FINALLY accomplish this!''' |
| 666 | *** '''"I'M TAKING THE TWO OF YOU WITH ME!!!"''' |
| 667 | *** '''WHY''' CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND, CHRIS!?!? DO YOU '''REALLY''' BELIEVE THE WORLD IS '''WORTH''' SAVING!?!? |
| 668 | *** "Natural selection leaves the survivors '''STRONGER''' AND '''BETTER'''! Humans have escaped this winnowing for '''FAR TOO LONG!"''' |
| 669 | *** "War and pestilence where'''EVER''' you go! '''EVERYWHERE!''' '''NOTHING''' but '''LOATHSOME HUMANS!''' |
| 670 | *** '''"THE HUMAN RACE REQUIRES JUDGEMENT!!!"''' |
| 671 | *** '''"I CAN'T LOSE! NOT TO YOU!"''' |
| 672 | *** '''"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0rRUC4BA8 CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!!!!]]"''' |
| 673 | *** "'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMREoitX9pE You will give me an egg.]]'''" |
| 674 | *** Let's face it -- every. Single. Line. That comes from Wesker's mouth, comes out being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-xOLEQT_so incredibly hammy]]. |
| 675 | *** No wonder Chris invokes ShutUpHannibal. "I've had enough of your bullshit!" Even though he himself is a bit of a ham here. Albeit, far less of one. |
| 676 | ** Leon from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' is a walking Large Ham[=/=]DeadpanSnarker. As soon as minor supporting characters start to die, he switches to ham mode. "MIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE! [[strike:LUUUUUUUUUIS]]LEEEWWWIIISSS!" Then, if a friend of yours were to die, you'd scream like that too. |
| 677 | ** The twins from ''Code: Veronica'' much? |
| 678 | *** "You want it? ''You are '''not''' worthy of its '''power!'''''" (She's less hammy in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles Darkside Chronicles]]'', though) |
| 679 | *** "''Do'' try to keep me amused, and do ''not'' disappoint me by ''dying'' too soon. I ''do'' want to enjoy this... ''[[GigglingVillain Eheheheh~]]''" |
| 680 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage Village]]'', Neil Newbon voices Lord Karl Heisenberg with the same exuberance and flair as he did with Nicholai in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake''. The result is a smarmy villain who treats his hunting of Ethan as a game show and absolutely lets loose during his boss fight. |
| 681 | ** Wesker's {{foil}}, Sergei Vladimir is every bit as hammy, being a ridiculously over the top Russian, who speaks every line in a deep booming voice, and looks as though he's just walked out of a 1950s propaganda movie. |
| 682 | * ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4'' gives us Volkanon, the extremely hammy butler, and his charge Vishnal, the extremely hammy butler-in-training. |
| 683 | * In ''VideoGame/RuneScape'', Kal'Gerion and any of his generals. |
| 684 | * ''VideoGame/{{Sacrifice}}'' is a WorldOfHam. The gods are extremely hammy. So are the wizards. So are the units. Sadly, the main narrator is not. |
| 685 | * Kyoshiro Senryo of the ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' series is an ''actual'' LargeHam ''actor''. However, his overacting fits the kabuki stage perfectly, and he's a huge hit. He even calls his "clone" out on that if he wins in the first game |
| 686 | -->"[[KillItWithFire To the fires with you, You Ham!!"]] |
| 687 | * ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' has a dungeon called the Ankh, in which the resident Mad Scientist goes on about how he has "No words! No words!" in response to the party's actions. |
| 688 | ** Philistines! |
| 689 | * Henry Stauf of ''VideoGame/TheSeventhGuest'' and ''The 11th Hour''. EvilIsHammy indeed. |
| 690 | * Joachim Valentine (a.k.a. "CHAMPION OF JUSTICE, Grand Papillon!") from ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts: Covenant''. |
| 691 | * There's plenty of great examples from ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' (''Persona''[='s=] parent franchise): |
| 692 | -->'''Matador''': ''[[InTheNameOfTheMoon I swear, by my sword and capote]], [[ThatOneBoss that once again, I will prove victorious!]]'' |
| 693 | -->'''Albion''': '''''[[NoIndoorVoice LINE UP THE FLEET!]]''''' |
| 694 | -->'''[[PhysicalGod Demi]][[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney urge]]''': '''''[[AGodAmI WORSHIP ME!]] [[NoIndoorVoice THE CREATOR OF ALL]], [[AGodAmI UNPARALLELLED BY ANY!]]''''' |
| 695 | -->'''[[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor Lucifer]]''': ''Enjoy, my child. Give in to rage! Hate! Wail! Give all of it...'' '''''[[BloodKnight to me!]]''''' |
| 696 | -->'''[[MadScientist Dr. Victor]]''': ''(while MilkingTheGiantCow)'': '''''KUZUNOHAAAAA!''''' |
| 697 | ** This is in games with ''no voice acting''. |
| 698 | ** Then voice acting ''does'' get involved, in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', which features Mido, the large talking voxel head in charge of Demon Fusion. |
| 699 | ---> ''"WELLLLLLLCOME, TO THE CATHEEEEDRAL OF SHADOWS, WHERE DEMONS GATHER!"'' \ |
| 700 | ''"GATHERRRR DEMONS, AND COME AGAIN!"'' |
| 701 | * [[VideoGame/TheSims Sims]] may not have [[PunctuatedForEmphasis dramatic pronunciations]], but they are far more hammy than the average human being they're supposed to simulate. This is an aspect of gameplay -- it's a lot easier to know that a Sim is hungry or angry when they dramatically moan and rub their belly or shake their fists while screaming. |
| 702 | * ''VideoGame/{{Sinistar}}''. He hungers! '''RUN, COWARD! RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN!''' |
| 703 | * Kaos from ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' is this. |
| 704 | -->I SUMMON the DEADLY [[ThreateningShark SHARK BATH OF DOOOOOOMSHARKS!!!]] |
| 705 | ** And later in the boss fight... |
| 706 | --> I SUMMON the even DEADLIER SHARK BATH OF DOOOOOOMSHARKS!!! |
| 707 | * ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'': |
| 708 | ** THE MURRAY. |
| 709 | ** Dimitri. Every line much like THE MURRAY is a huge ass slice of ham. |
| 710 | ** The release of ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'' gives us Sly's ancestor, Sir Galleth of the Cooper Order. Since he's a bombastic [[LeeroyJenkins gungho]] anyway, this is kind of a given. |
| 711 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 712 | ** Erazor Djinn of ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings'' is a ham, especially in the ending. |
| 713 | ---> '''Erazor:''' I will not be defeated! If you defeat me, I will simply return, again and again! I AM IMMORTAL! I CANNOT BE VANQUISHED! [[EvilLaugh MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]] |
| 714 | ---> '''Erazor:''' THE WORLD IS MINE! I cannot be denied by that filthy rat! WHHHHHHYYYYYYY??!? |
| 715 | ** Dr. Eggman is probably the king of this trope in the series, especially in later games. |
| 716 | ** And ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''. With DAN GREEN as Mephiles, chewing the scenery as he goes while travelling through time, and Shadow becomes much more so too. LET'S GET MOOOVING! |
| 717 | ** [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog Where's that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald?!]] |
| 718 | ** Sonic is usually portrayed as being cool and collected (and is described as such in official profiles), but [[VideoGame/SonicColors latest]] [[VideoGame/SonicForces games]] have basically [[{{Flanderization}} turned him into a parody]] of the MascotWithAttitude trope, [[MotorMouth spewing bad jokes and childish remarks nonstop.]] |
| 719 | * ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': |
| 720 | %%** "I will show you the greatest nightmare!" |
| 721 | ** Enjoy the bloodthirst and the ham of Nightmare's Japanese voice. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t83kjRmgqlI Here]] you have a big sample, but the first 1:20 is enough to have an idea of his badassery. |
| 722 | *** Granted, Nightmare IS voiced by the HotBlooded Creator/NobuyukiHiyama. |
| 723 | ** His English voice: ''"DROWN IN THE CESSPOOL OF '''DARKNESS!!!''' DISAPPEAR, YOU CUR!"'' |
| 724 | ** Cervantes also, especially in the English version |
| 725 | ** Also, Yoshimitsu. In Japanese, because '''[[Creator/NorioWakamoto NORIO WAKAMOTO]]''' voices him. In English, because he speaks in ''stereotypically'' hammy over-the-top [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe Shakespearean English]]. |
| 726 | ** From the trailer of ''Soul Caliber V'', [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Ezio]] roars, ''"I TRIED TO WARN YOU!"'' complete with mashing his fists together. |
| 727 | ** Astaroth is nearly seven feet of ham and his voice actors Banjo Ginga, J.S. Gilbert, and Michael McConnohie really bring it out. |
| 728 | -->Squirm! Scream! KILL! |
| 729 | ** [[VideoGame/SoulCaliburVI Azwel]] is poised to dethrone Nightmare for the title of hammiest ''Soulcalibur'' character, with Creator/TaliesinJaffe's delivery of lines like "LET'S TAKE THE STAGE TOGETHER!" and "CAN YOU STAND THE TEST? ACCEPT THIS FROM ME... MY LOVE!!" |
| 730 | * [[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 "My name is..."]] '''''[[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 "JAGUAAAAAR!"]]''''' [[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 "I am the voice of]] ''[[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 truth!"]]'' |
| 731 | ** "SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH USING TV TO [[spoiler:BRAINWASH THE MASSES?!?]] ISN'T THAT WHAT TELEVISIONS FOR?!? '''RATINGS!!!!"''' |
| 732 | ** [[IncomingHam Watch me bust a MOVE!*Pose*]] [[HamToHamCombat And COPY ME with NO MISTAKES!]] |
| 733 | ** To say nothing of Purge. He's able to keep himself calm starting off, [[IncomingHam but then the purple disco suit comes out...]] |
| 734 | * ''VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsSuperSponge'' has The Flying Dutchman as a boss fight where just like the show he bellows out his lines with gusto: |
| 735 | -->'''"BET YOUR LILY WHITE LIVERS, I AM THE FLYING DUTCHMAN!!"''' |
| 736 | -->'''"I AM GOING TO STEAL YOUR SOUL!!"''' |
| 737 | -->'''"BWAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA!!"''' |
| 738 | * In the civilization stage of ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'', one mode of conquest is through holy ham. |
| 739 | * Most of the bosses from the first five ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' games eat giant ham sandwiches before they fight Spyro, but special mention has to go to Red. |
| 740 | ** "Prepare, young dragon, to be taught... a lesson. '''''OR TWO.'''''" |
| 741 | * ''VideoGame/StarControl'' features the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjJOu-VyDY8 Black]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag50ct3EBxQ Green]] Ur-Quan, brother races that both developed intense, galaxy-conquering ham. |
| 742 | * In the ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' universe, it's the ones who ''aren't'' hams that are rare. While the Ghost may get his CreepyMonotone, he can ''keep'' it, because almost everyone else is pure unabridged ham. Third prize: Tassadar's big speech at the beginning of the final mission. SecondPrize: Terran [[KillItWithFire Firebats]]. And the grand prize goes to... The Siege Tank. Honorary mentions go to the Terran Marine, the Terran Dropship, the Protoss Zealot, the Terran Wraith, both Protoss Archons, the Zerg Overlord, and the Terran Vulture. Some voice actor was evidently having a lot of fun while recording that game. |
| 743 | ** The Infested Terrans. |
| 744 | --->''"Live for the Swarm!"'' |
| 745 | ** The Overmind. Essentially being God to the HordeOfAlienLocusts doesn't help. |
| 746 | --->''"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me."'' |
| 747 | ** In ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', we have [[TheAhnold Thor pilots]], and the hybrid Maar, among many, many other units and characters. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhklRF3nQlE See Maar here.]] |
| 748 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISzAPpUzLuA THOR ES HERE!]] |
| 749 | ** The Zealots' voice actor is clearly having a blast with every line. |
| 750 | -->We em''brace'' the GLORY of ''battle!''\ |
| 751 | ''Victory'', is the only truth that ''matters!''\ |
| 752 | We ''strike'' as ''one!''\ |
| 753 | I am Templar. I am the Sword of Truth!\ |
| 754 | We ''cannot'' hold! |
| 755 | *** And then you have the Tal'darim, who go the EvilIsHammy route. |
| 756 | -->You would de''file'' that which belongs to the Gods! |
| 757 | -->Eliminate the a''bo''minations! |
| 758 | * Par for the course for ''Franchise/StarFox'' villains. Played with in the character of Andrew Oikonny in ''Assault'', who was obviously a cheesy wannabe villain who was never meant to be taken seriously, and thus plays it ''way'' over the top. |
| 759 | ** Several characters from ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'', especially the [[NoIndoorVoice Warp Stone]]. |
| 760 | * ''VideoGame/StarFox64'': |
| 761 | ** "Ah! So THIS is Star Fox! I'm going to CRUSH you!" |
| 762 | ** "MY EMPEROR! I'VE FAAAAAAAILED YOOOOOOOOOU!" |
| 763 | ** "Deploy all units! CHARGE!!!" |
| 764 | ** "WHO ''ARE'' YOU GUYS?!!" |
| 765 | ** "YOU'LL NEVER DEFEAT ANDROOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS!" |
| 766 | ** "UNCLE ANDROOOOOOOSSSS!" |
| 767 | ** "Ha ha... you're not as STUPID as you LOOK!" |
| 768 | ** "I can't BELIEVE I lost to this SCUUUUUUUUUUM!" |
| 769 | ** "USE THE BOOST TO GET THROUGH!" |
| 770 | ** "NO! HIT THE BRAKES! I CAN'T STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" |
| 771 | ** "It's TIME to TRY our new WEAPON!" |
| 772 | ** "COCKY LITTLE FREAKS!" |
| 773 | ** [[IncomingHam "CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, STAR FOX!"]] |
| 774 | ** "I...CAN'T...LOOOOSE!" |
| 775 | * "EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING! DAMN IT ALLLL!!!" Edge Maverick, ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope''. True, he did just [[spoiler:accidentally cause the blowing up an alternate dimension's Earth, killing billions of people]], but the way the scene played out was just hilarious. His emotions in general are acted oddly. |
| 776 | * In ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'', Luther gets pretty hammy. |
| 777 | ** RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL PREVAIL!! |
| 778 | ** The Time Gate on Styx is exceptionally hammy. "REEEESIIIIGN THYSELVES! REEESIIIGN THYSELVES!" |
| 779 | * Creator/SamWitwer's (!) voicing of Emperor Palpatine in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed'' is almost as hammy as the original. |
| 780 | * ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' gives us a canned ham in Darth Baras, who while mostly responding to your optional snark with dry deadpan or mild exasperation, has one scene where he loses his temper so spectacularly that it's achieved meme status. |
| 781 | ** The various classes all have an opportunity to act like this, but the crown has to go to the [[MagnificentBastard Sith]] [[ShockAndAwe Inquisitor]], ''especially'' the male one. Being CrazyIsCool probably has something to do with it. |
| 782 | -->'''Sith Inquisitor:''' I want robes of SOLID GOLD! |
| 783 | * ''Videogame/StoryOfTheBlanks'' pulls it off despite the dialogue being written rather than spoken. Apple Bloom sees [[spoiler:Ruby's remains in the fireplace]], and she is [[{{Understatement}} visibly disturbed]]. |
| 784 | * Luca Blight of ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' is made of this trope. "DIE, PIG!!!!" "[[PitifulWorms A million maggots are still maggots]]!!!! I'll slaughter you all!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!". Yes, he usually ends sentences with at least 4 exclamation marks. |
| 785 | ** While we're still in ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'', [[KnightInShiningArmor The Maximillian]] [[ForGreatJustice Knights]] are {{Large Ham}}s to some extent, though Fred Maximillian from ''[[VideoGame/SuikodenIII III]]'' takes the cake. Ironically, this makes him a horrible actor in theater plays. |
| 786 | * "YOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! HI I'M DAISYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" Princess Daisy from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' wasn't originally this, but after she became a TomboyPrincess and GenkiGirl and her voice actor changed to Deanna Mustard, she always sounds like she's having the time of her life and practically screams and yells most of her lines. This gets taken to the extreme in ''[[VideoGame/MarioStrikers Mario Strikers: Charged]]'' where the DarkerAndEdgier nature of the game amps up her competitiveness to ludicrous degrees. |
| 787 | * VideoGame/{{Wario}}'s hammiest portrayal has probably got to be in ''VideoGame/WarioWorld''. Just hearing his loud laugh or his many quotes throughout the game will make you want to hug Creator/CharlesMartinet for giving him such a huge and admirable ego! |
| 788 | -->"GET OUTTA HERE!"\ |
| 789 | "I'M-A NUMBER ONE!"\ |
| 790 | "HAVE A ROTTEN DAY!"\ |
| 791 | "EXCELLENT!!"\ |
| 792 | "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" |
| 793 | * The ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' hack ''Super Mario Infinity 2'' brings us the memorable Black Plague and his infamous "WHO DARES TO TRY TO STOP THE TIME BOMB?". Made much more hilarious if you listen to {{LetsPlay/Raocow}} voice acting to the whole thing. |
| 794 | * Looking at you, [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario O'Chunks]]. Even more so when for one of the battles he gets brainwashed by [[spoiler:[[TheManBehindTheMan Dime]][[BigBad ntio]]]] and turns into O'Cabbage. |
| 795 | * Sanger Zonvolt from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' becomes one of these in battle. Many characters have InTheNameOfTheMoon speeches, but his consists of loudly declaring his name, his self-appointed title of "the sword that cleaves evil", a very loud battle cry, and a post-mortem reminder that there's ''nothing'' his BFS can't cut through. This may or may not be preceded by him telling his enemies to "Shut up! And listen!" |
| 796 | * In the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series, due to his over-the-top entrance in ''Subspace Emissary'', some of his lines, and his attacks, [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon]] is often seen as this. This has spawned many [[MemeticMutation Memes]]; most notably, the FAAAALCOOON PUUUUUUNNNCHHHH!!!!!! |
| 797 | ** The announcer hams the names of modes and characters when selected. Each game has a larger ham than the last. The one for ''[=WiiU=]'' also hosts a [[http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/10-23-2014/#/video-ndirect half-hour video]] explaining [[SuddenlyShouting NEW GAME FEATURES]]! |
| 798 | ---> '''Announcer''': MEGAH MAAHHHN! Craaazy Ham! [[note]]Crazy Hand[[/note]] |
| 799 | * Some of the enemy commanders from ''VideoGame/SupremeCommander'' serve a large side of ham with their taunts to the player, including Commander Godwyn (Operation Unlock) and Commander Eris (Operation Metal Shark and Operation Defrag). The largest ham award, however, goes to Commander Ariel, of Operation Shining Star. At any given moment, she's just barely restraining a maniacal evil witch laugh. |
| 800 | * SHODAN from ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' and its sequel (the being illustrated atop this page) does plenty of hamming, especially with her [[VoiceOfTheLegion secondary voices]]: |
| 801 | ** SHODAN (moderately pitched voice): "Fitting handmaidens to my... (deep voice) '''DIVINITY'''!" |
| 802 | ** "Welcome to my '''DEATH'''! '''MACHINE!''' interloper!" |
| 803 | ** "And now they seek to DESTROY ME!" |
| 804 | ** "Approach your work as you see fit, but accomplish, human... (Disappointment) Disap'''POINTMENT''' is not something I will accept from a speck (A SPECK!) SUCH AS YOU! (such as you...) " |
| 805 | ** "Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and '''bone''', '''panting''' and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a ''[[AGodAmI perfect,]]'' '''[[AGodAmI immortal]]''' '''''[[AGodAmI machine?"]]''''' |
| 806 | ** "You '''THINK''' like an insect! You '''MOVE''' like an insect! You '''ARE''' an insect!" |
| 807 | ** "We can examine the possibilities... of '''A REAL ALLIANCE!!''' |
| 808 | ** "Remember that it is my will that guided you here. It is my will that gave you your cybernetic implants... the only beauty... '''IN THAT ''MEAT'' YOU CALL A BODY!''' If you value that meat (VALUE that meat) you will do AS I TELL YOU! (As I tell you!) (I tell you!) (I tell you!) (I tell you!) (I tell you!) (I tell you!)" |
| 809 | ** "'''YOUR BLOOD FOULS MY DOMAIN...'''" |
| 810 | ** "'''I AM SHODAN!'''" |
| 811 | *** Her echo voices get even hammier. For example, after she says, "I lust for my revenge" in the second game, another one of her voices says, "my '''REVENGE!'''" |
| 812 | [[/folder]] |
| 813 | |
| 814 | [[folder:T-Z]] |
| 815 | * When you manage to out-Ham the player character, and the player character is voiced by Creator/BruceCampbell, you know you've arrived. So it goes with the ''delightfully'' batshit Baron Hajod from ''VideoGame/TachyonTheFringe''. '''SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVESSSS!!!''' Culminates in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htRArli-9UE mission]] where he tries to [[RefugeInAudacity steal the]] Art/SistineChapel ceiling. |
| 816 | -->''I will not turn over this pretty ceiling, it is mine now! '''MINE MINE MINE! You will die for such a flagrant intrusion!''' |
| 817 | * The person playing Max from ''VideoGame/TalesOfEternia'' was obviously having a blast playing him, exclaiming "YEAH!" with great gusto at every possible opportunity, and generally overacting to hilarious degrees in a ridiculously manly voice. This is all the more noticeable next to most of the rest of the English version voice cast, who, by contrast, ''tend'' to sound rather bored or half-asleep at even the most dramatic moments in the game. |
| 818 | ** Same thing applies to battle. Even in the Japanese. Everyone else's [[CallingYourAttacks battle shouts]] are up to par, but Fog just takes it to the next level with his '''"BAANING FORCE!"''' Pity the anime didn't include him. |
| 819 | ** Official ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' English intro, anyone? |
| 820 | --->'''Morrison:''' THOU art at the GATE to the UNDERWORLD... Come forth, THUNDER of the GODS!\ |
| 821 | '''Dhaos:''' WHAT the HECK is THAT!?\ |
| 822 | '''Morrison:''' This ends... HE-YAH! IN-DIG-NAY-SHUN! |
| 823 | ** Any final boss will tend towards a maximum of hamminess as the final battle approaches. |
| 824 | ** As does, well, most of the Vanguard in ''Dawn of the New World''. Especially the ones affected by Solum's core. |
| 825 | *** For that matter, Ratatosk[[spoiler:!Emil]]. |
| 826 | --->'''Ratatosk:''' Lumen, OBEY ME! |
| 827 | *** [[indent:80:You almost expect [[Anime/CodeGeass the Geass symbol]] to appear in his left eye as he shouts this.]] |
| 828 | ** Starting from ''Destiny 2'', any {{invocation}} of any Hi-Ougi by any character will do this. Emotionless characters will intone oaths and spells with great gravitas, more HotBlooded ones let out their ScreamingWarrior, and bosses, especially of the final variety, will reach [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale off the scale]] ham levels declaring their intent to rend time, space, and creation. |
| 829 | *** For example, here's a Hi-Ougi from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'': |
| 830 | --->'''[[spoiler:Ratatosk Mode ]]Emil:''' "'''SEEEEAAAAAAH!'''" * slash slash slash* "'''This is the FINAL STRIKE!'''" * BOOOM!!* "[[EvilLaugh Hehehahahahaha!]] Darkness devours! '''[[Myth/HebrewMythology AIN SOPH AUR!!!]]''' |
| 831 | *** On the subject of ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2'', Barbatos Goetia is likely the hammiest villain in the entire series, thanks to [[Creator/NorioWakamoto his voice actor]]. |
| 832 | ** [[VideoGame/TalesOfGraces Malik]]. |
| 833 | ---> '''Malik''': [[CallingYourAttacks Tremorous Celestial Sundering Shredding Light of Cyclonic Butchery!]] |
| 834 | *** Also Richard. Or, more appropriately, [[PaperThinDisguise THE MASK OF BARONA!]] |
| 835 | * The cast of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', in one way or another. The Heavy, Soldier, and Demoman are the biggest ones, but they ''all'' have their moments. The Medic has a large number of voice lines that just consist of laughter, ranging from disturbingly happy giggling to mean chuckles to completely bonkers crazy laughter. (Not to mention his amazing scenery-chewing as a MadScientist in the official ''Meet the Medic'' video.) |
| 836 | -->'''Heavy:''' Doctor! Are you sure this will work? |
| 837 | -->'''Medic:''' Hahaha...'''I HAFF NO IDEA!''' |
| 838 | ** The Sniper and Spy are the most reserved, but appropriately hammy moments can mostly be found in some of their domination/revenge lines. |
| 839 | -->'''Sniper:''' (dominating a Spy) '''I! WIN! YA BLOODY, BACKSTABBIN' FRAUD!''' |
| 840 | -->'''Spy:''' (dominating a Sniper) '''HAHAHAHA! YOU LIVE IN A ''VAN''! HAHAHAHAHAHA!''' |
| 841 | ** The fan made mod known as Versus Saxton Hale Mode pits a team of players versus Mann Co.'s CEO, TestosteronePoisoning incarnate MemeticBadass Saxton Hale. The latest version of the mod now includes voice responses for Saxton Hale, and true to form they are [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/VS_Saxton_Hale_Mode/Saxton_responses full of delicious ham.]] |
| 842 | ** Merasmus the Magician’s lines are nearly all yelled as loud as possible. |
| 843 | --->'''Merasmus:''' Feel the tiny eldritch terror of AN ITTY (inhales)… BITTY (inhales)… '''HEAD'''!" |
| 844 | *** The same Spectral Halloween Scream Fortress 2012 event that brought us Merasmus also added a lot of new voice lines to several classes (only triggered when on the event map Ghost Fort), of which the Medic's new voice lines (coupled with his [[FunetikAksent fake]] [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign German accent]]) are especially noteworthy. |
| 845 | ---> Medic: "I HAFF SO MUCH POWER!" |
| 846 | ---> "I am coming for you, vizard!" |
| 847 | ---> "Oh ho hoh! I have been in zhe wrong profession. I must learn zhis magic!" |
| 848 | ** The Heavy: " DON'T RUN! IT'S JUST [[LampshadeHanging HAM!]]" |
| 849 | ** The [[ViolentGlaswegian Demoman]] lets his Scottish ham out for all to see and fear in his intro video. |
| 850 | ---> "'''SO!''' To all you fine dandies, so ''proud'', so '''cock-sure, ''prancin' aboot with yer heads full of eyeballs!''''' Come and get me, I say! I'll be waitin' on ya with a whiff o' the ol' Brimstone! '''''I'M A GRIM BLOODY FABLE...WITH AN UNHAPPY BLOODY END!''' [Detonates stickies, as well as the entire BLU team with them.]'' Oh, they're gon'ta haf'ta glue ''you'' back together...'''''IN HELL!'''''" |
| 851 | * Natla in ''VideoGame/TombRaiderAnniversary'' and [[spoiler: ''Underworld'']]. |
| 852 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', Undyne is very much this trope. Having [[WrongGenreSavvy taken inspiration from the anime and manga Alphys found in the garbage dump]], she does ''everything'' with [[HotBlooded burning passion]]. |
| 853 | -->'''Undyne:''' No. You know what? SCREW IT! WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU THAT STORY WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE!?! NGAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! |
| 854 | ** Because of how he idolizes her, and the fact that he SPEAKS ONLY IN UPPERCASE, Papyrus is also a big ol' ham, except that he mixes it with Grade-A CloudCuckoolander behavior as well. Combine that with his NiceGuy personality and you have a recipe for a loud, lovable weirdo. |
| 855 | * The various [[LargeHamAnnouncer announcers]] of the ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' series. The first one is so popular that his voice was ported to other games, so much that some people think he is originally from ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''. |
| 856 | -->'''''[[BoomHeadshot HEADSHOT!]]''''' |
| 857 | * ''VideoGame/VagrantStory'' is a faux-Shakespearian WorldOfHam Squaresoft game. With [[{{Woolseyism}} a little help]] from Creator/AlexanderOSmith, the scenery gets {{chew|ingTheScenery}}ed with great enthusiasm, including plenty of HamToHamCombat. |
| 858 | --> Sydney: "They twisted your very soul, Ashley. Your despair at losing your "family" turned to hate for the lawless jackal that killed them. Hate that should be reserved for yourself."\ |
| 859 | Ashley: "YOU...LIE!"\ |
| 860 | Sydney: "Do I? Are your new-found abilities not proof enough? You believe Leá Monde responsible? You are remembering the killing arts you learned in a past life."\ |
| 861 | Ashley: "[[BigNo Noooooo!]]" |
| 862 | * Several of the [[LimitBreak Purify Weird Soul]] moves in ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'' are an excuse to sacrifice an enemy to the altar of ham. Some people even build their party specifically for maximum ham (it helps that a party of Lenneth, Aelia, Jayle, and Shiho is both fairly effective and extremely hammy). |
| 863 | ** In the same vein, Lezard Hameth in the sequel gets progressively creepier ''and'' hammier. |
| 864 | ** Suo's Narm-tastically epic "BODY AND SOOOOOOOUL SHALL BE TOOOOORN ASUNDA!! OUGI!! HYOUUUUSOUUUUHOUJIN!! or , to a lesser extent, Grey's "IIII invoke the POWERR of the GLACIAL BLAAAADE!!"among others. The hilariously-bad quality of the voice acting of the first game is a goldmine of ham in all flavors. |
| 865 | * [[spoiler:Raccoon]] of ''VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky'', after he becomes a StrawNihilist. He's actually quite emotionless and soft-spoken, but his lines manage to be amazingly over-the-top regardless: |
| 866 | ** "For a long time, I've thought about killing myself. [...] Existing tortures me, but how can I face not existing? You see, I've been bouncing back and forth between those two thoughts for [[TimeAbyss trillions of years]]. Which is worse: the pain of existing or the pain of not existing? One is a pain I know, the other a pain I do not." |
| 867 | ** "Life...death...they mean nothing to me anymore. If you don't fight, I will remove you from existence!" |
| 868 | ** "What's this? I can feel my heart beating for the first time in an eternity... Why does my body still cling to life? Can't it see the pointlessness of it all?" |
| 869 | ** "[[spoiler:Raccoon]]? I have no name. I am nothing." [[[OneWingedAngel transforms into "The Nameless"]]] "I don't know why I cling to life. But I can't stop. [[DeathSeeker Please. Eradicate me.]]" |
| 870 | * ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'' had quite a few characters, but one in particular stands out amo- |
| 871 | ** '''DAAAAAAAVIDSON IS IN THE HOUUUUUUSE! HULK DAVIDSON IS BOOOORN TO BE WIIIIIILLLLD!''' |
| 872 | * ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' has a few Space Hams: |
| 873 | ** The [[NoIndoorVoice incredibly loud]], [[BloodKnight incredibly homicidal]], and [[FountainOfMemes incredibly memetic]] Councilor Vay Hek, a Grineer propagandist and ''total loony'' suffering from CloneDegradation, has by far some of the most over-the-top lines in the game, including one particularly memorable threat to [[HurlItIntoTheSun personally throw the Lotus into the sun]]. |
| 874 | ** On the Corpus side, the biggest and most expensive ham is probably Nef Anyo, antagonist of the Fortuna arc. An [[PointyHairedBoss incompetent vulture capitalist]], [[DastardlyWhiplash pompous fop]], and [[GoodFortuneFromGod religious explotationist]], Nef is not above making some proudly blustery (and yet somehow still whiny and pathetic) statements over the Fortuna PA system. |
| 875 | ** Let's not forget Captain Vor, who gets some truly long winded and melodramatic lines, most notably his speech about the Tenno [[spoiler:after his Corruption by his prized Void Key completely consumes him]]. This is a man who can canonically spend upwards of a minute continuing his PurpleProse-heavy monologues after [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe being bisected at the waist]]. |
| 876 | * Every iteration of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}: VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' has (at least!) one large ham, but ''everyone'' involved had to take a step back to let Brother-Captain Indrick Boreale from ''Soulstorm'' pass... |
| 877 | ** Every single Chaos Lord ([[TheQuietOne except for Eliphas the Inheritor]], who goes for ColdHam instead) is frothing at the mouth during all their scenes. [[http://i.imgur.com/CjIDOOw.jpg This image probably says it best]] |
| 878 | --> '''Firaeveus Carron''': Look! Rhinos, '''RHINOS!''' Our enemies hide in '''METAHL BAWKSES'''! The ''cowards!'' The '''FOOLS!''' We...We should '''TAKE AWAAAAYYY''' their '''Metahl Bawkses...''' |
| 879 | --> '''Lord Bale''': '''[[SayMyName SSSSIIIINDRIIIIII!!!!]]''' |
| 880 | --> '''Lord Crull''': I ''swear'' to you, '''I'LL RRRIP THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES, AND''' '''''EEAAT''''' '''YOUR''' '''''EEEYES!!!''''' ALL REMAINING UNITS... '''''CHAAAARGE THE GAAAATE!!!!''''' |
| 881 | ** Near every commander in ''Dark Crusade'' had a moment or two, and two commanders in particular, Eliphas the Inheritor and Warboss Gorgutz, were nothing ''but'' ham. |
| 882 | *** Gorgutz: "'Ere I come, Chaos boyz! 'Ope ya weren't bored waitin!" |
| 883 | *** Eliphas: "Your subtlety ''astounds'' me, Ork." |
| 884 | *** "I ''seethe'' with '''purpose'''..." Funny thing: Eliphas is a combination medieval war bishop (or preacher) and SpaceMarine, yet doesn't shout nearly as much as you'd think he would. |
| 885 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-gSJW3sHXE Here]] is a magnificent compilation of the Chaos forces' collective ham in the Dawn of War series. Warning: may cause terminal cholesterol poisoning. |
| 886 | *** [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged You take that back.]] |
| 887 | ** The aforementioned Boreale's hamminess was so incredibly astounding it has become something of a meme. Any Soulstorm player knows why it's so commonly spelled "SPESS MEHREENS". |
| 888 | --->'''Boreale:''' WE ARE THE EMPRAH'S FUREH!!! |
| 889 | --->'''Boreale:''' If we die this deh we die in GLOARY! |
| 890 | ** The Commissar manages this all the time. "FORWARD, YOU DOGS, TO VICTORY!" |
| 891 | *** He does better than that even. [[MundaneMadeAwesome When getting out of a building or transport:]] "I...will '''''WALK''' now.''" |
| 892 | ** The Dark Eldar breathe this trope in all its moustache-twirlingly awesome glory, channeling [[Film/BasicInstinct Catherine Trammell]], [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Bane]], [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], {{ComicBook/Darkseid}}, and [[Franchise/{{Superman}} General Zod:]] |
| 893 | --> (*On capturing a control point) |
| 894 | ---> HOIST THE FLAG OF [[EldritchLocation COMMORRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH]]! |
| 895 | ---> RAYZE OWAH STADAHT! |
| 896 | ---> FOOOOOOOOOOOR COMMORRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGH! |
| 897 | ** The Imperial Psyker isn't far behind either. "WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOOOM!" |
| 898 | ** Ditto the priest. "LET ME PREACH HIS NAME!" |
| 899 | ** A lot of Imperial Guard units are like this. The Kasrkin never get old: '''FOR THE IMPERIUM OF MAN!''' '''''AAAAAAUUUGGGHHH!!''''' And then there's the [[MemeticMutation Spess Mehreen]] Chaplain, where it must be in the job description. |
| 900 | *** It is in the job description. Chaplains are supposed to whip Space Marines into a religious frenzy. "Rally to me brothers, AND WE WILL WIN!" |
| 901 | ** Even the Necrons don't get off kosher. The Necron Lord stomps around the battlefield like he's pissed off he didn't get the ''[[Franchise/StarWars Imperial March]]'' for his theme tune, managing to ham it up even though ''he's mute!'' |
| 902 | ** Canoness Selena Agna in ''Soulstorm'' was a rare female example, and she was ''magnificent'': "Fire! Fire my sisters! Do not falter, do not '''BLINK''' until the enemy are '''CINDERS!''' '''''CINDERS AND ASH!!!'''''" |
| 903 | ** Dawn of War II. |
| 904 | *** Force Commander: "SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR FURY AMONGST YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND!!" |
| 905 | *** The status reports are made of this practically, something in the Space Marine genome must make them be unable to stop chewing on the scenery given how every single time they say something this Trope applies. |
| 906 | *** "THEY FIRE UPON US AND WE SHALL RETURN IT!" |
| 907 | *** "THE ENEMY WISHES TO FIGHT, BROTHERS! LET US INDULGE THEM!" |
| 908 | *** "THE ENEMY HAS CLAIMED ONE OF OUR BATTLE BROTHERS. THE ENEMY MUST PAY!" |
| 909 | *** "ONE OF OUR BATTLE BROTHERS HAS DIED. DO NOT LET HIS SACRIFICE BE IN VAIN!" |
| 910 | *** "DRIVE ME CLOSER! I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD!" |
| 911 | *** "THIS QUIET OFFENDS SLAANESH! THINGS WILL GET LOUD NOW!" |
| 912 | *** Eldar Farseer: "If you ever want to see peace again, make war now with all your heart!" |
| 913 | *** Top honors still go to ''Retribution's'' BigBad Azariah Kyras for this Uber-Ham of a Chaos Battlecry: |
| 914 | --->'''Kyras:''' BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis LET! THE GALAXY!]]''' '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis BUURRRRRRRRRN!!!!]]''''' |
| 915 | *** It doesn't stop there, you cannot go for two seconds in this game without hearing a line hammed to hell and back. |
| 916 | ** It's safe to say that any and all high-ranking Imperium forces (marines, generals, psykers, force commanders etc) in both games have at least one magnificently hammy line. |
| 917 | ** The Mad Mek from ''Retribution'' is easily one of the biggest hams out there, and given how hammy everyone else is that's saying something. |
| 918 | --->'''The Mad Mek:''' ''OI! Trespassahz! Invadahz! 'Ooligans and ne'er-do-wells! Nobody, but '''NOBODY''' jus' pops outta thin air on dis 'ere Space 'Ulk, wifout me say so! Now piss off, or I'm like ta say so ta somefin' '''nasty'''!'' |
| 919 | * ''VideoGame/WildArms4''. [[KnightTemplar Lambda]] is particularly hammy, breaking into ManlyTears while monologing about Filgaia's future on more then one occasion. |
| 920 | * The Dark Savant in ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}} 8''. One wonders how he can chew the scenery through that humungous helmet. |
| 921 | %%* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'': |
| 922 | %%** "WELCOME TO MY KITCHEN!" |
| 923 | %%** "Drown in the sea of imaginary numbers!" |
| 924 | %%** "SINE! COSINE! TANGENT!" |
| 925 | * Creator/BlizzardEntertainment tends to ham up the voice acting in all their games with delightful results, but the crowning glory is the opera event in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'''s Karazan instance. Merely reading a [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Barnes_the_Stage_Manager transcription]] of the script doesn't really do justice to the voice actor's Creator/BrianBlessed-inspired performance and the audience going ''"oooooh! ahhhhhh!"'' |
| 926 | ** Kael'thas definitely qualifies, especially his death emote in the Magisters' Terrace instance: |
| 927 | *** '''''My demise accomplishes nothing! The Master will have you! You will drown in your own blood! The world shall burn! Aaaghh!''''' |
| 928 | *** Kael'thas is ''wonderfully'' hammy. He just never seems to stop talking. |
| 929 | *** He was even hammy back in ''VideoGame/WarCraft III''. Facing the undead with naught but STICKS and HARSH LANGUAGE, anyone? |
| 930 | *** And that was nothing compared to the generic Blood Mage's StopPokingMe rant about blood. |
| 931 | --> '''Blood Mage:''' My blood cries out for the vengeance of my people's blood, which can only be repaid with at least twice as much blood! Or maybe ''three times as much blood!'' Like if you went to hell, and it was ''full'' of blood, and that blood was on '''[[IncendiaryExponent fire]]''', and it was raining blood, THEN MAYBE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH BLOOD! Eh...but probably not. |
| 932 | ** Almost all of the lines said by Lord Jaraxxus in Trial of the Crusader |
| 933 | *** Jaraxxus is such a ham that most players will refer to him by both his name and his full title, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion. |
| 934 | *** FLESH FROM BONE!!! |
| 935 | *** [[MemeticMutation FLESH TROMBONE!]] |
| 936 | *** The above line, as well as kael'thas' "Merely a setback" have undergone considerable MemeticMutation among the [=WoW=] playerbase. See [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeC9WVVsQ4 Here]] |
| 937 | ** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Illidan Stormrage]] would like to take this time to remind you that "You are NOT prepared!" to "Feel the Hatred of TEN THOUSAND YEARS!" |
| 938 | *** In the 5-man Well of Eternity he's back to his old hammy ways. The Well might have collapsed because Illidan kept chewing on the scenery. |
| 939 | ** Speaking of the opera event, [[CaptainErsatz Romulo and Julianne]] are made of this trope. Especially the former, whose dramatic yelps remind you of the main character in ''Space Mutiny''. |
| 940 | ** "I am not some simple jester! I am [[AwesomeBosses/VideoGames Nielas Aran]]!" |
| 941 | *** "Who are you? ''What do you want?!'' '''''STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!'''''" |
| 942 | *** And while we're in Karazhan: [[AC: Surely you did not think you could win.]] |
| 943 | ** Really now, if there are any raid bosses, pre-''Burning Crusade'' in particular, who ''don't'' fit this trope, their lines certainly don't stick in the memory the way the truly hammy ones do. |
| 944 | ** Burning Crusade is chock full of these. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxeQkk1UcdY&feature=PlayList&p=3AADE7DADAAD9B3A=13 Aeonus]] the best example of VoiceOfTheLegion, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uhb5S7jP9c Talon King Ikiss]] is also good one "Ikiss cut you...pretty..RAAAAWK...slice you...YEEEESSSS..yes.". |
| 945 | ** Blackheart the Inciter's "I see dead people", "You fail! MUHAHAHA..HAHAHA!" "Time for fun!" |
| 946 | ** Possibly epitomized by the Headless Horseman. [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Headless_Horseman His page on Wowwiki]] has some quotes of his on it, but without voice acting, much of the effect is lost. |
| 947 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miueSCR5pFY Here's]] a video with the audio files of the Headless Horseman. |
| 948 | -->Prepare yourselves, the bells have tolled! Shelter your weak, your young and your old! '''Each of you shall pay the final sum! CRY FOR MERCY, THE RECKONING HAS COME!!!''' |
| 949 | ** ''Wrath of the Lich King'' is not without its share of pork product. The [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Last_Rites#Notes dialogue between Thassarian and Leryssa on top of En'kilah]] needs to be heard to be believed. |
| 950 | ** Malygos. Both the prefight talking and the over the top violence he threatens on you. |
| 951 | *** Alexstasza! Another of your brood FALLS! [[EvilLaugh Bwahahahahaha!]] |
| 952 | ** The first ingame cinematic isn't entirely without ham either. |
| 953 | ---> Arthas! The blood of your father, of your people, demands Justice! |
| 954 | *** Light's Hope Chapel must have some kind of Ham Aura. |
| 955 | ---> '''Tirion:''' [[NoIndoorVoice ARTHAAAAAAAAAS!!!]] |
| 956 | --->and |
| 957 | ---> '''Morgraine:''' Soldiers of the Scourge! Death Knights of Acherus! Minions of Darkness! --->Hear the call of the highlord! RISE! |
| 958 | --->[[RuleofThree AND...]] |
| 959 | --->'''Lord Maxwell Tyrosus:''' Stand fast brothers and sisters! The light WILL PREVAIL! |
| 960 | ** Because it needs to be said... [[EldritchAbomination Yogg-Saron]]. Bonus points for being near-literally ''made of mouths to ham with.'' Those centuries of lockup? Practice. |
| 961 | ---> '''Yogg-Saron:''' I am the Lucid Dream! I am the Monster in your Nightmares! The Fiend of a Thousand Faces! ''Cower before my True Form! BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH!! [[EvilLaugh WOOHOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...]] '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLlgxOo55IQ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!]]''''' |
| 962 | *** The fight with Instructor Rasuvious is particularly hammy. |
| 963 | --->'''Instructor Rasuvious''': I'm just getting warmed up! |
| 964 | --->'''Instructor Rasuvious''': You should've stayed home! |
| 965 | ** The player character, with many voice-acted emotes. |
| 966 | --->"THE SIN'DOREI WILL PREVAIL!" |
| 967 | --->"Rend flesh with me!" |
| 968 | --->"CHAAAAAAARGE!" |
| 969 | --->"For the GLORY OF QUEL'THALAS!" |
| 970 | ** ''VideoGame/WarCraft III'' has every male unit, but notably the Paladin. He actually has [[NoIndoorVoice an indoor voice]], but lines like "SMITE with great VENGEANCE!" "In Lightbringer's name, HAVE AT THEE!" and "Is that a sword? ''LUXURY''! Is that a horse? '''SLOTH!''' Is that a helmet? '''''VANITY'''''!". |
| 971 | *** The last is also a MythologyGag, as in ''VideoGame/WarCraft II'', the paladins had horses, helmets and swords, whereas in [=WarCraft III=] they were on foot, went bareheaded, and carried warhammers. |
| 972 | ** The Frozen Halls instances from patch 3.3 all have their hammish bosses, but Scourgelord Tyrannus takes the cake. |
| 973 | --->"Rimefang! Trap them within the tunnel! BURY THEM ALIVE!" |
| 974 | --->"Perhaps you should have stayed... [[ContinuityNod in the mountains]]!" |
| 975 | --->"Rimefang! Destroy this fool!" |
| 976 | --->"POWAAAAH! OVERWHELMIIIIIING!!" |
| 977 | *** What about the Devourer of Souls? |
| 978 | ---> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43NJmbkwmzY#t=0m33s You DAAAREEEE loooook upon the HOOOST OF SOOUUUULS? I shalllll devourer you WHOOOOOLE!]] |
| 979 | ** Eadric the Pure, one of the 2 Argent Crusade Bosses of Trial of the Champion, would be considered a Large Ham of the Light, especially compared to the Argent Confessor Paletress. Ironically, he's an easy boss compared to the Confessor. |
| 980 | ** Blizzard would like you to know that despite the typical byline of "women can't become liches or be hammy", that this is patently false necro-sexist propaganda. Observe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c73iP4KwsiY&NR=1 Lady Deathwhisper]] actually ''gasping for breath in between lines.'' Now we know why Kel'Thuzad got a RightHandCat instead: Liches need some peace and quiet too. |
| 981 | *** I suggest we rename Icecrown Citadel to Largeham Citadel. |
| 982 | ---> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VowrR8zcmMY&feature=related THIS is the beginnnning, ANNND the enndddd...]] |
| 983 | ---> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEVs61zVUc8&feature=related You are FOOOLS to have comeeee to this PLACE! the ICY winds of NORTHrend will CONSUUUMEE your SOUUULLS!]] |
| 984 | *** SUFFER MORTALS, AS YOUR PATHETIC MAGIC BETRAAAAAAAAAAYS YOU! (Also Sindragosa) |
| 985 | *** Lord Marrowgar.'''BBBBOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEESSSSSSTTTTTOOOOORRRRRRMMMMMMM!'''[[note]]''"Laaaaanguish in damnaaaationnnnn..."''[[/note]] Funny enough the joke went around that Sindragosa's most powerful ability was her incessant raspy voice. |
| 986 | ---> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrVPb0Qp0dw&feature=related Noooow, you shall face their MIGHT COMBIIIINNNED!]] |
| 987 | ** It was the same way back in ''VideoGame/WarCraft 2'', as narrator Bill Roper tells us of the Alliance arming itself with ''Dwar''ven '''cannon''' and ''El''ven STEEL to fight the Tides of '''''Darkness'''''. |
| 988 | ** Another special mention to Deathwing, who ranks as one of the hammiest, loudest Warcraft characters there is, particularly is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq4Y7ztznKc intro]] for Cataclysm |
| 989 | --> All will BURN beneath the SHADOW...OF MY WIIINGS! |
| 990 | *** Also in the Twilight Highlands: |
| 991 | ---> Look upon me and you see Death incarnate, the unmaker of worlds. |
| 992 | ** His best ham comes from the Madness of Deathwing fight: |
| 993 | ---> (at start) YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING! I WILL TEAR YOUR WORLD APART! |
| 994 | ---> (Final phase) I AM DEATHWING! THE DESTROYER! THE END OF ALL THINGS! INEVITABLE! INDOMINABLE! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! AM! THE CATACLYSM!]] |
| 995 | *** Deathwing's hamminess is the embodiment of cringe-inducing narm. |
| 996 | ** Ragnaros |
| 997 | --> TOO SOON. YOU HAVE AWAKENED ME TOO SOON, EXECUTUS. |
| 998 | --> YOU CALLED, LITTLE SHAMAN. AND THE FIRELORD HAS ANSWERED! |
| 999 | --> Funnily enough Ragnaros has ceased speaking in all caps in his own realm of the Firelands. Perhaps he doesn't wish to out-ham his new ally, Deathwing. |
| 1000 | ** And then there's Cho'gall, who has two heads -- one of them deep-voiced and portentous, the other flat-out crazy -- which spend most of the Bastion of Twilight instance making over-the-top speeches in wonderful Honeybaked counterpoint. It's not often you find a character in HamToHamCombat with ''himself''. |
| 1001 | --> Foolish mortals -- (Usurper's children!) Nothing you have done -- (SPAWN OF A LESSER GOD!) I am trying to speak here! (Words, words, words! The Master wants MURDER!) |
| 1002 | *** They get back into agreement when attacked: |
| 1003 | ---> Enough! (To His will all flesh succumbs. From His kingdom, chaos comes!) Yes -- what he said. |
| 1004 | ** Contiuning the trend, the new heroics gives us several hammy bosses. The king of it must be the snake boss, High Priest Venoxis. His quotes ain't much changed since the original, but his VA forces so much ham into it. You'll hardly believes he's dying when uttering "MYYYY DEATTH... MEAAANS NOOOTHINNGG!". You really have to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf4HxQqog18&feature=kp hear it]] to believe it, but here are a few other highlights: |
| 1005 | --> Let the ''coilsss'' ... of ''DEATH'' ... '''''UNFURRRRRRRL!''''' |
| 1006 | --> Hisss word FILLS me! ''My blood is VENOM! AND YOU WILL '''BAAAATHE''' IN THE GLORY OF THE SSSNAKE GAAAAWD!'' |
| 1007 | ** Not to be outdone by the men, Vanessa Van Cleef takes a page from Kael'thas' book and tries to {{Evil Gloat|ing}} her opponents to death. |
| 1008 | ** And now...we have the Firelands, aka the Dimension Of Smoked Hams. When ''[[IShallTauntYou Frandal]] [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide Staghelm]]'' is the ''subtle'' one, it makes one wonder if Ragnaros goes out of his way to find minions that [[ChewingTheScenery remind him of himself]]. |
| 1009 | ** Lord Rhyolith in particular can't seem to decide whether he's a grumpy old man or Optimus Prime, switching between bitter complaints about the small nuisances around him to bombastic, booming threats and proclamations, i.e. "Ooooh! You little beasts!" to "SUCCUMB TO LIVING FLAME!!" |
| 1010 | ** 4.3 Takes the Ham level and raises it hamazingly high... |
| 1011 | *** Starting with [[spoiler: Archbishop Benedictus]]... |
| 1012 | ----> ''There is no good, no evil, no Light. There is only '''POWAH!''''' |
| 1013 | *** ...then Ultraxion... |
| 1014 | ----> ''I am the beginning of the end... the shadow which blots out the sun... the bell which tolls your doom... For this moment ALONE was I made. Look upon your death, mortals, and despair! Now is the [[TitleDrop Hour of Twilight!]]'' |
| 1015 | *** ...and then [[ScaryBlackMan Warmaster Blackhorn]]. |
| 1016 | ----> ''Look's like I'm doing this myself. [[BloodKnight Good!]]'' |
| 1017 | ** Garrosh Hellscream's True Horde seems to be built on ham. Featuring: |
| 1018 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ1yxY8olFc&t=89 Garrosh himself]] who starts devouring more and more of the scenery as the fight goes on. |
| 1019 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GvlMfQjTlk Warlord Zaela]], head of the Dragonmaw under Garrosh' command, who is such a large ham that it is a miracle that her drake can still carry her. |
| 1020 | *** [[DishingOutDirt Earthbreaker Haromm]] and [[MakingASplash Wavebinder Kardris]], the leaders of Garrosh' Dark Shaman, bending both the elements AND [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhJRbYPOaAI the ham]] to their will. |
| 1021 | *** None of them, however, can hold a candle to Garrosh' right hand man [[NoIndoorVoice Mal]][[PunctuatedForEmphasis kor]][[EvilSoundsRaspy ok]]. |
| 1022 | ---->"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltssFTblJM8&t=29 THE TRUE! HORDE! CANNOT! BE! STOPPED!!!"]] |
| 1023 | * Id and Grahf in ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'', as well as Big Joe! and the Captain of the Thames. "I! *pose* AM A MAN! *pose* OF THE SEA! GWAHAHAHAHAHA!" |
| 1024 | * Albedo from ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'' definitely fits this trope |
| 1025 | ** His "AHHHH, YEEEESSS! FEED ME YOUR HOSTILITY, PIERCE ME WITH YOUR HATRED!!" was certainly full of {{Narm}}. |
| 1026 | *** Creator/CrispinFreeman is wonderful. |
| 1027 | *** Though that also passed over into terror as he was ripping off his own limbs and head. |
| 1028 | * ''VideoGame/{{Zork}}'': Eric Avari as [[BigBad Grand Inquisitor Yannick]]: "AND NEVER FORGET! WHO IS THE BOSS OF YOU? ME! ''I'' AM THE ''BOSS'' OF YOU...I ''AM'' THE BOSS OF ''YOU''...I ''AM'' THE ''BOSS'' OF YOU!" |
