| 13 | A OneLiner that is powerful, portentous, and delivered by a character to announce their presence (as if we could possibly miss it). Often [[PunctuatedForEmphasis pronounced quite emphatically]]. Contractually required for a [[LargeHam certain type of actor]]. Can almost always be replaced by, "Did someone order a '''{{LARGE HAM}}?'''" |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Can be delivered as the character enters, or while they are still offstage as a portent. If the show engages in LampshadeHanging about [[InnocentInnuendo the largeness of the ham]], this can evoke a response of "Oh no!" from those already in the scene. (See CatchphraseInterruptus). |
| 16 | |
| 17 | When the line is uttered by proxy, that's HammyHerald. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The most common form of dialog found in a WorldOfHam. Often the response to InadvertentEntranceCue. Usually a catchphrase, but not always. Compare InTheNameOfTheMoon, BigEntrance, DynamicEntry. The NoblewomansLaugh frequently ends up being a case of this. SubTrope of EstablishingCharacterMoment. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | When followed by a heapin' helpin' of ass-whoopin', it's a PreAsskickingOneLiner. Not to be confused with FoodFight or {{Incoming}}, which is alerting a character of danger. If this is combined with SayMyName then it's LargeHamTitle. |

| 40 | --> '''''"HELLO, EVERYNYAN! HOW ARE YOU? FINE, THANK YOU!"''''' |
| 41 | * ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'': Ladd Russo enters with the line "Thank you! fuck you! The star is here!" |
| 42 | ** And then starts [[LaughablyEvil disco dancing]]. [[PsychopathicManchild In a puddle of blood]]. |
| 43 | * ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': General Adon Coborlwitz, the Tudor Empire's most notorious MilesGloriosus, is constitutionally unable to enter a scene without trumpeting the size of his ego. |
| 44 | ** Upon meeting ActionGirl Casca on the battlefield, the very first lines he bellows are this [[StrawMisogynist mysogynistic]] and pompous challenge: |
| 45 | ---> "[[StayInTheKitchen The battlefield is a sacred ground of men]]! I, Adon, head of the [[LargeHamTitle Blue Whale Ultra-Heavy Armored Fierce Assault Annihilation Knight Corps]], shall teach you the folly of your frivolity in setting foot upon it!!" |
| 46 | ** During the battle of Doldrey, when Casca is about to reach the castle's battlements, he reveals himself at the top of the stairs wearing [[ScaryImpracticalArmor elaborately villainous armor]] and exclaims, '''"Sha-sha-SHOCK!!! ADONNN!!!"''' Casca's annoyed expression seems to say, ''"Oh no, not ''[[GoldfishPoopGang this]]'' loser again."'' |
| 47 | * ''Manga/BlackLagoon'': "I am here to take your life! My name is Wizard, Rotton the Wizard! I don't have anything against you but--" [[KilledMidSentence *BAM!*]] [[TalkingIsAFreeAction Talking is not a free action]] in this series. Shockingly, '''[[MadeOfIron he lives to tell.]]''' [[spoiler:He is the only one who had the sense to come in a bulletproof vest, which his BadassLongcoat does an excellent job of concealing]]. |
| 48 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 49 | -->"Goooooooooooooood mooooorniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Ichigoooooooooooooooooooooo!"\ |
| 50 | "[[WebVideo/MyWayEntertainment Hatte mothafucking Kudasaiiiiiiiiiii!]]" |
| 51 | * ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': "KIIIIIIHAARAAAAAA-KUUUUUN!" |
| 52 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass'': In the first season finale, Jeremiah busts out of the ground piloting the enormous Knight Giga Fortress Sigfried, screaming "ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!" |
| 53 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' "[[FirstNameUltimatum Iiiiii-zaaaaa-yaaaaaa-kuuuuuuuuuuun!]]" Probably the most appropriate way to formally introduce Shizuo. |
| 54 | * Iskander from ''Literature/FateZero'' decides to make his public entrance into the Fourth Holy Grail War by crashing his flying thunder chariot directly in-between a dueling Saber and Lancer, leaving skid marks in the concrete, before throwing up his arms, loudly and openly declaring his true name, and then inviting both combatants to join his army and help him TakeOverTheWorld. |
| 55 | * ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'''s Haruko Haruhara introduces herself with an overenthusiastic cry of '''''"LUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNCCCCCHHHH TIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEE!!!!!"''''' while charging in on her Vespa. [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome Immediately afterward, she hits a discarded beverage can, loses control of the Vespa, and winds up running the main character over]]. Then she hits him with her gas-powered guitar. |
| 56 | * ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': |
| 57 | ** Ahem. Major Armstrong. That is all. |
| 58 | --->'''Isaac the Freezer:''' I know that voice! Is that you, Armstrong?!\ |
| 59 | '''Major Armstrong:''' ''[[[ThereWasADoor smashes through wall]]]'' INDEED! NONE OTHER! |
| 60 | ** In the manga, Armstrong is introduced during the battle with Scar. Scar has just said he will kill everyone there; this is followed by "I'd like to see you TRY!" and Armstrong's fist smashing the ground millimeters from him. Literally ''every time'' the Major arrives to a fight, this happens. |
| 61 | ** And then there's Basque Grand's entry in Ishval: "I am the Ironblood Alchemist, Basque Grand! Iron and blood, might and manpower! If I do not lead the charge, then who will?!" |
| 62 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': |
| 63 | ** [[NationsAsPeople Italy]] is introduced like this: |
| 64 | --->'''[[DrillSergeantNasty Germany]]:''' Now, if anyone has something to say, please raise your hand in a way that does not mock any salutes of my country's past.\ |
| 65 | ''[hand floats slowly onto the screen]''\ |
| 66 | '''Germany:''' [[ThirdPersonPerson Germany]] recognizes his friend Italy!\ |
| 67 | '''Italy:''' PASTAAAAAAAAAAA~! |
| 68 | ** [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex Prussia]]'s first named appearance begins with this: |
| 69 | --->'''Prussia:''' SUCK IT, [[JerkAss LOSERS]]! I AM PRUSSIA AND YOU ARE NOT! |
| 70 | ** The first episode focusing on the [[ADayInTheLimelight Allies]] begins with this line from [[LoveFreak America]]: |
| 71 | --->'''America:''' I call this one "Attack Plan Alpha", like "alpha dog", [[MemeticMutation WOOF]]! |
| 72 | * Kagerou Shoukiin of ''Manga/InuXBokuSS'' ramps this up by being not only hammy whenever introducing himself, but also irrevocably ''rude''. |
| 73 | -->"''THANK YOU FOR WELCOMING ME, MY LITTLE HUMAN TOILETS!''" |
| 74 | * ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 75 | ** '''[[SayMyName DIOOOOOOOOOO!!]]''' |
| 76 | ** '''[[ThoseWackyNazis YOU ARE A FOOL! GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE FINEST IN THE WOOOOORLD!!]]''' |
| 77 | ** '''[[TimeStandsStill THE WORLD! STOP TIMEEEEE!!]]''' |
| 78 | * [[EstablishingSeriesMoment The first thing we see]] in ''Anime/KillLaKill'' is [[LargeAndInCharge Ira Gamagoori]] [[OpenSaysMe kicking down a door]], which ''[[MadeOfExplodium explodes]]'', before entering the room and [[NoIndoorVoice screaming]] "[[SeriousBusiness I'M ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS!]]" |
| 79 | * ''Franchise/LupinIII'': Inspector Zenigata. Just... Zenigata. If he suddenly shows up yelling [[SayMyName "LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPP-AAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!!"]], shenanigans are about to occur, without fail. |
| 80 | * ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaInnocent'' shows that Levi the Slasher did not lose any of her hamminess from ''[[VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable The Gears of Destiny]]'' when she enters the game world with this self-introduction. |
| 81 | --> '''Levi:''' I'm super strong! Super awesome! And super cool! I'm the Dark Materials' raid boss! The name's LEVI THE SLASHER! (strikes a ready-for-action pose with VSign)\ |
| 82 | '''[[LargeHamAnnouncer Alicia]]:''' It's now Team T&H's chance to talk about how much they want to win. \ |
| 83 | '''Fate:''' [[LampshadeHanging We can't compare to that...]] |
| 84 | * A much more nightmarish version occurs in the last episode of ''Anime/MekakucityActors''; the transition from screaming to a booming, echoing laugh as [[spoiler:the Wide-Open Eyes Snake takes control of Konoha's body]] signals the arrival of the series' BigBad and most dreaded figure, [[spoiler:Kuroha]]. |
| 85 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'': Graham Aker when transforming his mecha from plane to robot form in mid flight to do a bodyslam, "I call this, the '''Graham Special!!'''" |
| 86 | * In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', All Might heralds his arrival to the scene with a booming, "I AM HERE!", prompting a MassOhCrap from any evildoers in the vicinity. |
| 87 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': [[DynamicEntry "Dynamiiiiiic entryyyyyyyyyyyy!"]] |
| 88 | * ''Literature/NinjaSlayer'' sees its titular character practically transform this trope into a life philosophy, with the [[WorldOfHam rest of them]] not far off behind. Cue word: "DOMO". |
| 89 | * '''So many''' ''Manga/OnePiece'' characters. Every few story arcs, some character will be introduced by '''singing their own theme song.''' This extends to both heroes and villains - Franky, Sogeking, and Queen all did it, but the hammiest of them has to be Mr 2 Bon Kurei, who [[ItMakesSenseInContext arrived at Spider's cafe leading a conga-line of Ballet Dancing Okama]]. |
| 90 | * ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan''[='=]s AnimeThemeSong is legendary for its hammy intro of "'''''[[Music/JAMProject ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!!!]]'''''" |
| 91 | * Renge in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' often does this via NoblewomansLaugh before dramatically rising from under the floor via [[RunningGag high power motor]]. |
| 92 | -->'''Renge:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AuFgZT4O-I Oh-hohohohohohohohohohohohohoho...hoho!]] |
| 93 | * The Princess of the Crystal's "SURVIVAL STRATEGY!" in ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'', even before taking into account the minute-long summoning sequence that follows. |
| 94 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': |
| 95 | ** The Team Rocket trio make rather a production of their entrances, going beyond a simple catch phrase to several catch sentences. More like a catch poem, really. It gets hammier and hammier with each season. They even did a Karaoke-style song once to introduce themselves. They do it so often that in ''To Master the Onixpected!'' Meowth even uses a remote to speed up the part of the episode where they perform their motto. James bites his tongue in the process from talking so fast. Meowth has a remote that can screw with reality... [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment and he never uses it again!?!]] |
| 96 | ** [[TheHero Ash]] can be pretty enthusiastic when announcing his arrival someplace. |
| 97 | ---> '''Ash:''' HELLO, KALOS REGION! ASH FROM PALLET TOWN IS FINALLY HERE!\ |
| 98 | '''Alexa:''' [[LampshadedTrope What's with all the yelling?]] |
| 99 | * ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' has Black, whose first line was "I'M GOING TO BE THE CHAMPION OF THE POKÉMON LEAGUE!!!", which freaked out the other characters. |
| 100 | * ''Anime/SailorMoon'': |
| 101 | ** "Hold it right there!" before describing what the bad guy is doing, why it is wrong, and giving an InTheNameOfTheMoon speech. |
| 102 | ** Each and every one of Tuxedo Mask's appearances, with his most over-the-top moment occurring in the S Movie, where he arrives on a Christmas float dressed as St. Nick himself. |
| 103 | * ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'': |
| 104 | ** The first episode of the anime is a food fight between half the cast over who has the biggest Incoming Ham. Even the ''opening line'' is an Incoming Ham; the one belonging to Date Masamune. |
| 105 | --->'''Masamune:''' [[GratuitousEnglish Are you ready, guys? PUT YA GUNS ON!]] |
| 106 | ** For the record, DemonKingNobunaga probably wins it: |
| 107 | --->'''[[Creator/NorioWakamoto Nobunaga]]:''' Bow before me. As penance for disobeying the lord of the clan of a hundred demons, die and repent in the afterlife. There are none before me, and none behind me. [[DevilComplex I am the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven]], Oda Nobunaga! *dramatic cape swish* |
| 108 | ** Wakamoto adds to that with his magnificent voice, as well as being able to [[TrrrillingRrrs roll every r]] in "Oda Nobunaga", an incredible feat considering there is no r in "Oda Nobunaga". |
| 109 | * In the ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' OAV series, Naga's appalling NoblewomansLaugh usually precedes her. |
| 110 | * ''Manga/SoulEater'': |
| 111 | -->"Yahooooo ore-sama no Black*star da!"\ |
| 112 | "Bakame!" |
| 113 | * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': |
| 114 | ** Kamina manages to turn a simple encouragement to Simon into an incoming ham, to say nothing of his actual introduction to a Gunmen later on in the episode. |
| 115 | ** ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome King Kittan is here!]]'' |
| 116 | ** Half of the show is people delivering hams, and many turn into this. The other half are mechs and [[StuffBlowingUp blowing shit up]]. Even [[ProperLady Nia]] pulls some at some point. |
| 117 | * ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' does this with Sky High in the first movie. |
| 118 | --> '''Criminal:''' Don't try anything funny, or else!\ |
| 119 | '''Sky High:''' ''You'''re the one who better "not try anything funny, or else", mister! |
| 120 | * ''[[Anime/YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters]]'': As soon as you hear the two-track bellow of "YYYUUUGGGIIIOOOHHH!" you know [[Creator/DanGreen DAN GREEN!!!]] has shifted gears from Child to [[LargeHam Ham]]. |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:Card Games]] |
| 124 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' trading card game: |
| 125 | ** In the "Molten Core" raid deck, whoever's playing the raid deck is encouraged to do this when the final boss appears. "Behold Ragnaros -- The Firelord! He who was ancient when this world was young! Bow before him, mortals! Bow before your ending!" |
| 126 | ** The card comes by it honestly. The Firelord neutral class in ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III: The Frozen Throne'' is quite a LargeHam -- his summoning quote is a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/{{Sinistar}}''. |
| 127 | * ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': |
| 128 | ** The joke set ''Unhinged'' has a card called "Carnivorous Death Parrot" that requires the player to read its flavor text at the start of every turn to keep the creature in play... the text "Save a kill spell to deal with this guy." (It makes sense when you see the picture.) There's also Infernal Spawn of Evil: "It's coming!" as well as "Ach! Hans, run!" |
| 129 | ** "Save a kill spell to deal with this guy" is a drawback -- five cards in the same set have the ability "whenever an opponent says [either of the words in this card's name], you may say 'Gotcha!' and return this from your graveyard to your hand". The death-parrot triggers all five. It triggers six if your rules-meister considers 'to' to be a homophone of 'two'... |
| 130 | * In the digital adaptation of ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'', every villain has an appearance quote except [[TheSpeechless Progeny]], and several of them portray the villain as over-the-top. This is particularly the case with [=OblivAeon=], who not only has a special speech format to show how [[AC:Booming]] he is and individual lines of dialogue with ''every hero variant in the game'', but has minions who also appear with their own quotes, such as the {{Sssssnaketalk}} of Nixious. |
| 131 | [[/folder]] |
| 132 | |
| 133 | [[folder:Comedy]] |
| 134 | * In his later performances, Creator/SamKinison would often walk on stage screaming, one time even chained like a wild animal. |
| 135 | * When Creator/JeffDunham brings Achmed the Dead Terrorist out, he announces himself to the audience with "GREETINGS, INFIDELS!" |
| 136 | * At the start of his concert film, ''You Are All Diseased'', Creator/GeorgeCarlin greets the audience in this way: |
| 137 | -->"So, let me ask you something: how's everybody doing tonight, huh? ''(audience cheers)'' Good, well, [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK YOU!!]] Just trying to make you feel at home." |
| 138 | [[/folder]] |
| 139 | |
| 140 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 141 | * "'''The ComicBook/FantasticFour!!''' Hah! Little do they dream they are naught but '''pawns''' in the hands of '''[[ComicBook/DoctorDoom DOCTOR DOOM]]!'''" |
| 142 | ** This line was delivered while holding Fantastic Four-shaped [[ChessMotifs chess pieces]] with a vulture perched next to him, surrounded by books entitled "DEMONS" and "[[MadScientist SCIENCE]] AND [[MagicKnight SORCERY]]", and sitting in a throne in the [[ElaborateUndergroundBase underground lab]] of [[HauntedCastle his old world castle]]. So, a relatively restrained moment. |
| 143 | ** Indeed, '''DOOM''' speaks [[NoIndoorVoice in all caps]]. This is ''{{canon}}'', as ComicBook/CaptainAmerica asked him how he manages to do it in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski''. |
| 144 | ** ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures'' demonstrates that his idea of a casual entrance involves [[ThereWasADoor blowing up walls]] (while exclaiming "Behold the grim visage of '''DOOM'''"). When Spidey complains that most people would use the door, he dismisses the idea as being for peasants. |
| 145 | * Admittedly, ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} has an announcer for most of that. "On your knees for the master! The hour has come! He has come! Who is beyond good and evil? Who is the prophet of Anti-Life? Who is the rock and the chain and the lightning? All powerful! All unforgiving! All conquering! Who is your New God now and forever?" |
| 146 | -->'''Darkseid:''' Darkseid is. |
| 147 | * Set in a school for the children of superheroes and supervillains, ''ComicBook/PS238'' is stuffed full with delicious hams who love huge dramatic entrances, no matter what their age: |
| 148 | ** Zodon, a bald, quadriplegic, supergenius supervillain, makes his first grand entrance by hacking into the school's infomercial broadcast: "BEHOLD YOUR FUTURE MASTER AND TREMBLE, YOU WHO CALL YOURSELVES HEROES!!" He's '''five'''. The school tries to rein in his profanity-laden hamminess with an implanted microchip that auto-censors his outbursts with random words and Broadway showtunes -- which makes Zodon's ham even '''bigger''': |
| 149 | --->'''Zodon:''' You '''FLOWER GARDEN!''' I'll '''FOXTROT''' all over your '''DRINKING FOUNTAIN!! UMBRELLA! CRUNCHBERRIES!! CORDLESS TELEPHONE!!!''' |
| 150 | ** A couple issues later, another new supervillain-in-training child, Victor Von Fogg, strolls into a classroom for the first time with "Acknowledge your '''FUTURE LORD AND MASTER!! YOU WILL ALL KNEEL BEFORE VON FOGG!!!'''" The teacher promptly sits him next to Zodon. |
| 151 | * ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': "[[ComicBook/UltronUnlimited Ultron! We would have words with thee!]]". If Thor and/or ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules is on a team of Avengers, you can count on these kinds of moments frequently. |
| 152 | * As pictured atop this page, [[Comicbook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool's]] very first comic book panel had her bursting through a door with a motorcycle while yelling [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/25/0d/cf/250dcf62405a69fd77944680fcc89490.jpg "HELLO WORLD!"]] |
| 153 | * ''Invoked'' in a comic based on the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' animated series, where a group of super-powered aliens decide they can ''really'' change the world using their powers, eventually make their move on a local internal conflict with a tinpot dictator, until the man himself barges in declaring he is the light and reason of the nation and demands to know what is happening. [[spoiler:It quickly turns out to have been a SecretTestOfCharacter when one of the aliens offs him with barely a thought, ''aaand'' it's actually the League's shapeshifter, not as dead as thought, presumably resolving himself into J'onn telling him this is not an acceptable way forward.]] |
| 154 | [[/folder]] |
| 155 | |
| 156 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 157 | * ''Fanfic/GloriousShotgunPrincess'': "Hello! I MAY HAVE TAMPERED WITH THE VOLUME CONTROLS!" |
| 158 | * ''Fanfic/HealinGoodHostClub'': The first scene ends with Mori calmly comforting a sick Honey, before going off to make some phone calls while Honey goes back to sleep. [[MoodWhiplash Cue Tamaki.]] |
| 159 | * Alucard's triumphant return in episode 8 of ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' is kicked off by him blaring Music/AndrewWK's "Ready To Die" out of the loudspeakers of the ship he's on as it arrives in London. |
| 160 | * ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily'': when the White Gestalt is in a fight against Mad Ben, Gladion has Silvally with an Electric Memory electrocute Specter so his SplitPersonality / denizen currently fused with him, Easter, can even the playing field. Once the attack hits, they deliver a huge smirk before they scream, "I LIVE!!!" at the top of their lungs. |
| 161 | * ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'': "''Darlings''!" |
| 162 | * ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'': Inverted with [[LargeHam Taniguchi]] saying a YouExclamation and [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger pointing his finger]] to Kunikida when they meet in the 2-5 classroom, because it was Kunikida who was arriving both to the classroom and the scene (Taniguchi wasn't the focus in the scene beforehand, silently practicing [[QuitYourWhining his speech]] for when Kunikida arrived, making it Taniguchi's first action in the scene). It had the same effect than a straight use, however. |
| 163 | * ''Fanfic/MovieNightAtFreddys'': '''''"Just what do you four think you're doing?"''''' |
| 164 | * ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'': "What the hell are you doing you motherfukers!" |
| 165 | * ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'': "Boom for the boom god!" |
| 166 | * ''Fanfic/PowerRangersGPX'': "HELLO, RRRANGERS!!!" |
| 167 | * [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Bender:]] "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3295974/1/The_Real_Decoy DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR A SAVIOR??????]]" |
| 168 | * ''Fanfic/SaviorOfDemons'': [[{{Narcissist}} Haabu.]] Announcing his presence to the entire planet wasn't enough, no, he had to land in the middle of a city and challenge [[FakeUltimateHero Mr. Satan]] to a match after the latter [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu inadvertently called him out]] as a [[YourCostumeNeedsWork fake alien.]] |
| 169 | * In ''Teen Titans: Call of Blood'', when Superboy first arrives at Titans' Tower, he flies around and sings "SU-PER-BOY IN THE HOUSE! SU-PER-BOY IN THE HOUSE!" while hip-hop music blares from his phone. |
| 170 | [[/folder]] |
| 171 | |
| 172 | [[folder:Film -- Animation]] |
| 173 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Beowulf|2007}}'' "I'm here to kill your monster." Grendel does some of the same, only he says things like "Auaghghh! Auughaghhhh!" |
| 174 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'': "Good morning, good morning, gooooood morning!" |
| 175 | * WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7xy7gFH0lI entrance]] into the climax [[spoiler: (or rather, Minion disguised as Megamind)]] defines this trope, embraces it, and asks for extra pineapple slices. The following exchange happens at the top of a large skyscraper, amid a laser-light show with smoke effects, with thousands of flying robot minions forming the [[HugeHolographicHead illusion of Megamind's head]], and all to the already-pretty-epic beginning of Music/GunsNRoses' "Welcome to the Jungle". |
| 176 | -->'''Megamind:''' You dare challenge Megamind?\ |
| 177 | '''Titan:''' This town isn't big enough for ''two'' supervillains!\ |
| 178 | '''Megamind:''' Oh, you're a ''villain'' alright. Just not a ''super'' one.\ |
| 179 | '''Titan:''' Yeah? What's the difference?\ |
| 180 | ''[the giant head's mouth opens, and the actual Megamind walks out on the tongue]''\ |
| 181 | '''Megamind:''' '''''[[EvilIsHammy PRESENTATION]]!''''' |
| 182 | * Pretty common for Disney characters, especially [[EvilIsHammy the villains]]. |
| 183 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8SE87FClV0&feature=related "I LIIIIIIIIIIVE! So tell me what mortal needs my protection, great ancestor, you just SAY the WORD and I'm there."]] Creator/EddieMurphy is so many shades of awesome. So much he gets another: "'''DID I HEAR SOMEONE ASK FOR A ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn_nM7x7Lcw MIRACLE?!]]'''''" |
| 184 | ** Scar, from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A57NVGJUGt4 "Life's not fair is it... you see, I shall never be king, and you... shall never see the light of another day! Adieu..."]] |
| 185 | ** The Genie in ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': '''"Oi!''' '''''TEN-THOUSAND YEARS''''' '''WILL GIVE YOU''' '''''SUCH''''' '''A CRICK IN THE NECK!"''' |
| 186 | *** In the [[Film/Aladdin2019 live-action version]], "'''O Great One who summons me, terrible one who commands me, I stand by my oath, loyalty to wishes three!"''' |
| 187 | ** Jafar in ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'': "'''I'M FREE! FREE TO EXACT REVENGE ON HE WHO HAS IMPRISONED ME!'''" |
| 188 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CmEqtPOFFw What's his name?]] KUZCOOOOOO!" |
| 189 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'': Enter the villain, unleashing a torrent of green netherworldly fire. That's how to make an entrance. |
| 190 | *** This is also done in live-action through ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', and with more ham as Maleficent adds a nonchalant "well, well". Not her first scene, but still qualifies for being the [[StartOfDarkness public debut of Maleficent's evil version]]. |
| 191 | *** Enter the villain, unleashing a torrent of green netherworldly fire yelling, '''"Now shall you deal with ''me'', O Prince... and all the powers of HELL!!!!"''' right before [[ScaledUp Scaling Up]]. Now '''''that's''''' how to make an entrance. |
| 192 | ** ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'': "Who's been painting my roses red? '''WHOOOOO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED?!"''' |
| 193 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'': "How sentimental. You know, I haven't been this choked up since I got a hunk of moussaka caught in my throat! Huh? So is this an audience or a mosaic? Hey, how you doin'? Lookin' good. Nice dress." |
| 194 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}'': '''"Company, sound off!!!!"''' |
| 195 | *** From the same film, [[BigBad Shere Khan]] appearing from nowhere to add his badass [[MediaNotes/VoiceTypes basso profundo]] to the "That's What Friends Are For." |
| 196 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'': '''"The FUN has ARRIVED! Thank you very much!"''' |
| 197 | ** '''"BLAST that WesternAnimation/PeterPan! If I can only find his hideout, I'd TRAP him in his lair!"''' |
| 198 | *** Also, this, moments later: |
| 199 | --->'''Captain Hook:''' Ah, I wonder...\ |
| 200 | '''Mr. Smee:''' ''(coming up)'' Good morning, Cap'n.\ |
| 201 | '''Hook:''' ''(grabbing Smee by his shirt)'' I'VE GOT IT -- TIGER LILY, SMEE! |
| 202 | ** ''WesternAnimation/FunAndFancyFree'': '''"FE, FI, FO, FUM! [[VillainSong Fe, fi, fo, fum! He, hi, ho, hum! I'm a most amazing guy, a most amazing guy am I!]]"''' |
| 203 | ** King Candy in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': "HELLOOOO, MY LOYAL SUBJECTS! HA-HA! Have some candy!" |
| 204 | ** It's not his first line, but Oogie Boogie in ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' makes quite an impression when he finally shows himself: "'''WELL, WELL, WELL! WHAT HAVE WE HERE?'''" |
| 205 | * Thrax in ''Film/OsmosisJones'': "Careful... I'm contagious!" And only a couple seconds later: "[[BondOneLiner Think I'll turn up the heat in here."]] (EvilLaugh and UnflinchingWalk.) |
| 206 | * Jessie in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'': '''"YEEEE-''HAAAAAAWW!!''"''' |
| 207 | ** And to a slightly lesser extent, [[Main/EvilIsHammy Emperor Zurg]]. "So, we meet again, Buzz Lightyear, ''for the last time''." |
| 208 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'': |
| 209 | ** "Iiiit's bigger! Iiiit's badder! Ladies and gentlemen, it's '''TOO MUCH FOR MR. INCREDIBLE!'''" |
| 210 | ** And at the end of the film: "'''[[NoIndoorVoice BEHOLD, THE UNDERMINER!]]'''" |
| 211 | * ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'': '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis "I! LOVE! SUPERHEROES!!"]]''' |
| 212 | * ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'': |
| 213 | ** Randall's first appearance "uncloaking" from his camouflage and shouting "WAZOWSKI!" to startle Mike. |
| 214 | ** The Abominable Snowman too: "Welcome to the Himalayas!" |
| 215 | * When ComicBook/TheJoker finally meets up with the Suicide Squad and Batman in ''Westernanimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham'', he announces his arrival by firing several shots in the room and screaming, "I'M HERE, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCHES!]] AND I BROUGHT FAVORS FOR EVERYBODY!" before unleashing dozens of exploding marbles. |
| 216 | * Toad's first line in ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'' is him yelling at Mario to not touch a mushroom, and he ''really'' lays it on thick. |
| 217 | -->'''Toad:''' ''Do NOT touch that mushroom; you'll die!!'' |
| 218 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndTheMagicRailroad'': "'''GET OUTTA MY WAY!''' I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS HERE AND I WANNA FINISH IT '''FAST!!!'''" |
| 219 | [[/folder]] |
| 220 | |
| 221 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 222 | * ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': |
| 223 | ** Jack Sparrow's and Davy Jones's grand entrances in the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl first]] and [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest second]] films establish their mystique. |
| 224 | ** Davy Jones even [[HammyHerald provides one]] for the (not so articulate) Kraken: |
| 225 | --->'''Davy Jones:''' Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the KRAKEN! |
| 226 | ** While he starts out a little understated, you know what Blackbeard's about to unleash when he first enters. |
| 227 | * ''Film/PulpFiction'': Before Creator/SamuelLJackson asked Brett to "SAY WHAT AGAIN!" he "DON'T REMEMBER ASKING YOU A GOD DAMN THING!". Cue the introduction to the general public one of the [[LargeHam biggest hams]] in the history of film. |
| 228 | * ''Film/TheFifthElement'' "KORBEEEEEEEEENNN DAAAAAAAAAAAALLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS!!!" -- or for that matter, any time Ruby Rhod enters a scene. Any time the camera cuts away from and back to him counts. [[RunningGag Sometimes even when the camera cuts from one shot of him to another]]. |
| 229 | * Richard Henry Lee's first (spoken) line in ''Film/SeventeenSeventySix'': "You sent for me, Benjamin". It's less of what he says and more of how he says it. Ron Holgate (Lee in the original Broadway production and the film) was American musical theater's version of Creator/BrianBlessed. |
| 230 | * Creedence Leonore Gielgud of ''Film/Troll2'': ''This is MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY house!''. |
| 231 | * ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' |
| 232 | ** "I... Am... MEGATRON!!!" |
| 233 | ** "[[BigDamnHeroes Behold the eternal glory of...]] ''[[BigDamnHeroes Jetfire]]''!" His actual introduction line, "What kind of hideous mausoleum is this?", also counts. |
| 234 | * ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'' gives us Creator/JasonIsaacs as Marshal Zhukov, who enter the film with the line "Right! What's a War Hero got to do to get some ''lubrication'' around here!?", followed by an epic slow-mo coat throw. Can be seen in the video example below. He later bursts into a room with an assault rifle and cries "Hands up or I'll shoot you in the fucking face!" |
| 235 | * ''Film/{{Dogma}}'': "Behold the Metatron, herald of the Almighty, and the voice of the one true God!" Though with a job title like that, you'd expect him to be somewhat dramatic... It's also undercut somewhat by him immediately getting sprayed with a fire extinguisher by Bethany (well, he was in pillar-of-fire mode) and coughing "Do you douse everyone who comes into your bedroom with flame-retarding chemicals? No wonder you don't have much of a sex life..." |
| 236 | * ''Film/{{RoboCop|1987}}'': Robocop when he busts the drug factory. The door first starts rattling, ''all'' of the bolts fall out, and it lands with an incredible WHAM as he's framed in HolyBacklight. |
| 237 | --> '''[=RoboCop=]:''' Come quietly... or there will be... '''TROUBLE'''. |
| 238 | * ''Film/TheSpirit'': "I'm gonna kill you all kinds of dead!" |
| 239 | * ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'': [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler "NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!"]] |
| 240 | %%* ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'', quite a lot. |
| 241 | * ''Film/{{Blade}}'': "FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!!!!" |
| 242 | * See the English dub of 1994 martial arts frolic ''Film/FistOfLegend'' for the single most overstated instance of the word '''''Bullshit!''''' in the history of film. |
| 243 | * CROKER!!! in ''Film/EvilAlienConquerors'' stomps into a restaurant and starts screaming at the diners. Why? Because he's CROKER!!! |
| 244 | * ''Film/{{Hellraiser}}'': "The box. You opened it. We came." |
| 245 | * The local radio DJ in ''Film/GroundhogDay'' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkxOYcG9NrY Okay, campers, rise and shine! And don't forget your booties 'cause it's coooooold out there today!...]]" |
| 246 | ** Given that every day of his GroundhogDayLoop begins with a clip of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" and this spiel, Phil soon grows to hate his voice with a passion. |
| 247 | * ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'': [[spoiler:Satan]] in the finale. |
| 248 | -->'''[[spoiler:Satan]]: I AM COMPLETE!'''\ |
| 249 | '''JB''' and '''KG:''' ''♪ [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Fuuuuuuuuuck...]] ♪'' |
| 250 | ** [=JB=], and by extension, the movie itself, starts: |
| 251 | -->'''JB:''' ''♪ A long-ass fucking time ago in a town called Kickapoo... ♪'' |
| 252 | * Whenever Stanley becomes Film/TheMask, he delivers one of those, starting with what would become his catchphrase: "SSSSMOKIN'!" |
| 253 | * While on Creator/JimCarrey, combined with EvilIsHammy: ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' has his Dr. Robotnik first appearing with "Are you in charge here? [the Major starts speaking] Nope! Wrong! I'M IN CHARGE! ME!" |
| 254 | * ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'': Ivan Ooze manages to steal the spotlight from Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa. No mean feat, considering they were pretty massive hams to begin with. |
| 255 | -->'''Ooze:''' LAAAAAAAAAADIES AND GENTELEMEN. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis The OOZE. IS. BACK!]] |
| 256 | * ''Film/{{Star Trek VI|The Undiscovered Country}}'': "I can see you, Kirk. Can you see me?" |
| 257 | * ''Film/GoodMorningVietnam'': Robin Williams plays a radio host. What else would you expect from him? |
| 258 | -->"GOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAAAAAM!" |
| 259 | * ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'': |
| 260 | ** "MIIIIISTER PIL-GRIM!" |
| 261 | ** Also "Guess who's drunk!" |
| 262 | ** "You punched me in the ''boob!'' Prepare to die, obviously!" |
| 263 | ** "Now you listen close and you listen hard, bucko. The next click you hear is me hanging up. The one after that... is me pulling the trigger." |
| 264 | * The Guardian, the bad guy in ''Film/HighlanderTheSource'', introduces himself to Duncan by zipping up to him and screaming, "THIS IS THE END OF TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!" Duncan's reaction face is priceless. |
| 265 | * John Malkovich in ''Film/{{Eragon}}''. "I suffer without my stone. DO NOT PROLONG MY SUFFERING!" |
| 266 | * Kelly [=LeBrock's=] smoky "So....what would you little maniacs like to do first?" in ''Film/WeirdScience''. |
| 267 | * Creator/KevinSpacey in ''Film/{{Se7en}}'': "Detective. Detective. '''DETECTIIIIIIVE'''! You're looking for me." |
| 268 | * ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'': |
| 269 | ** Creator/TomHiddleston as Loki introduces himself to a crowd of terrified Germans: [[KneelBeforeZod "Kneel before me.]] I said... '''''KNEEL!!!"''''' |
| 270 | ** Film/IronMan arrives to the strains of Music/{{ACDC}}'s "Shoot to Thrill", which he transmitted into the radio communicator of the S.H.I.E.L.D. quinjet and repulsor blasts Loki off his feet and aims all the gajillion guns embedded in his suit at him. The line itself, "Agent Romanov, you miss me?" is understated. Tony likes to talk with his actions and BGM. |
| 271 | * ''Film/JudgeDredd'': [[Creator/SylvesterStallone Dredd]] shouting "I AM THE LAUWH". |
| 272 | * ''Film/BlueVelvet'' has the memorable villain introduce himself with "'''SHADDAP!''' It's ''' 'DADDY', SHITHEAD!'''" |
| 273 | * The Great Goblin in ''Film/TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney''; both in the theatrical ("Who would be so bold as to come armed into ''my'' kingdom? Spies? ''Thieves?! '''Assassins?!'''''") and extended ("I feel [[VillainSong a song]] coming on...") cuts of the film. |
| 274 | * Creator/KennethBranagh has at least two good ones. |
| 275 | ** In ''Film/WildWildWest'', Arliss Loveless emerges from an exploding model of UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln saying "Don't yew just haaaate thay-ut song?" complete with 720 degrees of eye-rolling. Then he rides his wheelchair doing a hammy speech. |
| 276 | ** In ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'', he arrives at a library just smiling under lots of cameras, and is still confirmed as a gigantic ham. |
| 277 | * And speaking of Harry Potter, when a troll gets into Hogwarts in [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone the first movie]], how does everyone find out? |
| 278 | -->'''Quirrel:''' '''TROOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!! IN THE DUNGEOOOON! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!''' ''[stops in front of Dumbledore]'' Thought you ought to know. ''[faints]'' |
| 279 | * ''Film/IntoTheWoods'': When the Baker notices that the Witch from next door (played by Creator/MerylStreep) is paying them a visit, it's immediately followed by the bakery door being blown down, a big flash of lightning, and rats scurrying from under the Witch's dress. Not to mention subsequent appearances, where she teleports in just to yell at the Baker and his wife. |
| 280 | -->"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARES?!? Cow's gone!! Get it back!!" |
| 281 | * ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'': |
| 282 | ** When the Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}} get their first ghost-catching job, Janine promises that they'll be "totally discreet." So what happens when they show up? |
| 283 | --->'''Venkman:''' HEY, ANYBODY SEE A GHOST? |
| 284 | ** While on Ghostbusters, [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 the 2016 movie]] has Holtzmann introducing herself by making clear she's quirky [[LipstickLesbian and possibly interested in Erin]]: |
| 285 | --> '''Theatrical Cut:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dD9fbEWWzE Come here often?]]\ |
| 286 | '''Extended cut:''' You carry a lot of tension on your shoulders. ''[going for Erin's hand]'' Holtzmann. Virgo. Avid skier. Gluten-full. And 100% jazzed to meet you. |
| 287 | * Most villains in ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' movies. |
| 288 | ** ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'': "It's me, Sugar bumps. (...) Jack? Jack is dead, my friend. You can call me... Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier. " |
| 289 | ** ''Film/BatmanReturns'': "I believe the word you're looking for is... AAAAAAAGH!" and "I am Catwoman. Hear me roar." |
| 290 | ** ''Film/BatmanForever'': "You're counting on the winged avenger to deliver you from evil, aren't you, my friend?" and "I hope you made extra." |
| 291 | ** ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'': "The Iceman Cometh!", "Ladies and gentlemen of the un-United Nations. And our mystery bidder." and "Hello, Jason. I think I've had a change of heart. " |
| 292 | ** ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': "(EvilLaugh) And they say ''my'' jokes are bad!" |
| 293 | ** ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'': "No one cared who I was until I put on the mask." |
| 294 | * ''Film/SpiderMan1'': "BACK TO FORMULA?" while performing a NeckLift. And all introductions to the Green Goblin later also count because he's either doing an EvilLaugh, [[ThereWasADoor breaking a wall]], or changing his disguised woman's voice into a shriek. |
| 295 | ** Showing the Green Goblin is a textbook ham no matter if [[ColdHam the actor was previously undecisive]], ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' has Harry arriving, and doing some wordless overacting looking back and forth from Spidey to Gwen before delivering an overenunciated "Peter...". |
| 296 | * In the first ''Film/{{Friday}}'' film, Craig's best friend [[TheStoner Smokey]] first appears by popping his upper body through Craig's window, ripping down the curtain and shouting '''"Break yo self, fool!"''' |
| 297 | * Unokichi in ''Film/{{The Lower Depths|1957}}'' makes his entrance by singing a song loudly and horribly out of tune while dancing wildly and thumping on a drum, and proclaiming his release from jail at the top of his voice. |
| 298 | -->'''Tatsu:''' You're in a fine mood.\ |
| 299 | '''Unokichi:''' ''Don't mind if I am!'' ''"[=TheeeeeEEEERE=]'' '''ONCE WAS A TRIANGULAR FELLOW, WHO STOOD ON A SQUARE PLATFORM, PLAYING HIS SONG...'''" |
| 300 | * ''Film/{{Rampage|2018}}'' has both Brett Wylden, introduced spouting {{Angrish}} while whacking a space station model, and Agent Russell, who like with Ruby Rhod above, arguably counts in every scene he enters - for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiQmOcY-OP8 his first appearance]], it is a smarmy summary that even provides the quote for the film's page: "Hell of a day, huh? Science experiments falling from the sky. Giant gorilla on the loose. Just the kind of exciting shit we here at the government tend to notice." |
| 301 | * Creator/JeffBridges in ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle'': "The name is Champagne, but you can call me ''Champ''." |
| 302 | * ''Film/{{Aquaman|2018}}'' has villain Black Manta introducing himself by exploding the area around the hero and Mera, and then appearing to them while [[EvilSoundsDeep using his mechanically deepened voice]] to [[WickedCultured quote Lovecraft]]: [[Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu "Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men."]] |
| 303 | * Showing that ''Hillary's America'' is a very biased "documentary", a young Hillary Clinton is introduced [[https://youtu.be/hi5dfS1jOpw?t=1241 laughing madly at Richard Nixon and commenting "Oh, yeah, that's real smart."]] |
| 304 | * Eddie in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' bursts into the party on a motorcycle singing a rollicking rock-and-roll number. Well, whaddya expect from someone who's played by Music/MeatLoaf? |
| 305 | * While many Film/JamesBond villains show they're hams with their first lines, Gustav Graves from ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' gains extra points for presentation, parachuting in front of Buckingham Palace before saying "What a wonderful day to become a knight." |
| 306 | * ''Film/EurovisionSongContestTheStoryOfFireSaga'': Alexander Lemtov's performance kicks off with a [[IncrediblyLongNote long, drawn-out]] "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fkSrugbddA Looooooooooooooove]]". |
| 307 | * ''Film/ThePrincessBride:'' Both [[Creator/BillyCrystal Miracle Max]] and his wife [[Creator/CarolKane Valerie]] are large hams, but Valerie in particular announces her status right from the start.. |
| 308 | -->'''Valerie:''' LIAR! LIAR! LIIAAARR!! |
| 309 | * ''Film/BeverlyHillsCop'': [[DaChief Inspector Todd]]'s introduction in the first film is [[BlatantLies a very subtle one]]: |
| 310 | -->'''''IS THAT FUCKING FOLEY IN HERE!?''''' |
| 311 | * ''Film/ColdMountain'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmpuAz59EbQ Ruby's arrival]], a barrage of over-the-top lines culminating in rooster decapitation ('Let's put him in a pot!'). |
| 312 | * ''Film/Studio666'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_OcFfeAPIc comedian Whitney Cummings as Samantha]], who gives Music/DaveGrohl a JumpScare saying "Hey neighbor!" and strings in some more manic lines, culminating in a very hammy rendition of [[Music/FooFighters one of Grohl's songs]], "Best of You". |
| 313 | * Sir Lancelot makes his first appearance in ''Film/DoctorAtLarge'' blaring his car horn and yelling at a dustman: |
| 314 | -->'''Sir Lancelot''': Get your wretched garbage van out of the way, man! |
| 315 | [[/folder]] |
| 316 | |
| 317 | [[folder:Jokes]] |
| 318 | * There is a joke, which not only requires much Ham to be properly told, but is almost a literal example: |
| 319 | -->"It's COMING!"\ |
| 320 | "What?"\ |
| 321 | "IT!"\ |
| 322 | "What 'it'?"\ |
| 323 | "The WIENER SCHNITZ--" ''(vomit)'' |
| 324 | [[/folder]] |
| 325 | |
| 326 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 327 | * Esmé in ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'' gave her full name, usually to people who already knew it. |
| 328 | * ''Literature/TheBartimaeusTrilogy'': |
| 329 | ** Bartimaeus has a bad habit of doing this. The first time he arises from the pentacle in a whirl of malicious special effects and spouts off a three-line list of titles, it's rather impressive. Thereafter it becomes progressively hammier as new achievements of dubious accuracy get added to the list, especially since we only see him do it with the one guy who's heard the spiel already. |
| 330 | ** At one point he says that djinn in general like to constantly top themselves when it comes to entrances, both for fun and because a flashy entrance can startle an unprepared magician enough for them to mess up the summoning, allowing the summoned creature to get their vengeance. |
| 331 | * In Creator/DavidEddings' ''Literature/TheElenium'' series, the Child-Goddess Aphrael definitely enjoys her drama, but she only steps into this territory when one of the knights complain about her tendency to teleport in right next to them/behind them, and nearly scare them out of their full-plate armor. Her next appearance is prefaced by a ''divine symphony of trumpet fanfares''. Just to let them know she's coming. |
| 332 | * Spiro's '''HOY!''' in ''Literature/MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals''. |
| 333 | * In ''Literature/ThisBookIsFullOfSpidersSeriouslyDudeDontTouchIt'', John, after vaulting the asylum wall in the [[AllegedCar Caddie]] shouts, "DID SOMEONE ORDER SOME FUCKING PRISON BREAK WITH A SIDE OF SHOTGUN?" |
| 334 | * ''[[Literature/StregaNona Strega Nona: Her Story]]'': Giuseppe and Zia Rosa are waiting for Strega Nona's mother, who is also his wife, and his or her sister to finally give birth to Strega Nona. |
| 335 | -->Giuseppe says that every child they had was brought into the world by Grandma Concetta, but in the storm,\ |
| 336 | he fears she can't come over there.\ |
| 337 | Hours pass, and Giuseppe is scared.\ |
| 338 | He asks Zia Rosa where the baby is.\ |
| 339 | Zia Rosa knows the baby is waiting.\ |
| 340 | Giuseppe quickly cries, "For what"?\ |
| 341 | On cue, Grandma Concetta bursts in.\ |
| 342 | A gust of wind blowing her indoors.\ |
| 343 | "For Me!", she cries, "no grandchild of mine can be born without, me"!!!\ |
| 344 | She takes off her theatrical cloak, rolls up her sleeves, and heads for the bedroom, asking Rosa to follow, with the baby being ready to come.\ |
| 345 | Sure enough, the girl is then born.\ |
| 346 | Grandma Concetta names their child Nona, and declares her as a Strega.\ |
| 347 | Her large ham gave the baby life. |
| 348 | [[/folder]] |
| 349 | |
| 350 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 351 | * ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun.'' Dick can't help but do this sometimes because he's such a LargeHam in general. Mary was once explaining to Nina that Dick isn't as egotistical as he seems, [[InstantlyProvenWrong right before Dick walks in with this:]] |
| 352 | -->'''Dick:''' '''''BEHOLD THE GLORY THAT IS ME!''''' |
| 353 | * ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'': [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman "This looks like a job for]] '''Franchise/{{Superman}}!'''" |
| 354 | * On ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' GOB and Buster are impressed by rival magician "Tony Wonder" (Played by Ben Stiller) who only appears when someone uses the word "Wonder" at which point he tosses a smoke bomb, jumps out from hiding, and proclaims, "Did somebody say ''WONDER''?!" |
| 355 | * ''Series/BabylonFive'': |
| 356 | ** G'Kar usually announces his entry on stage by shouting the name of whoever he intends to speak to from across the room. Often before he appears on camera. |
| 357 | ** Londo is an unabashed ham in any of his public appearances, though it is clearly an affectation; he is far more reserved in private. However, his cries for his "... good friend '''MEEEEESTER GARIBALDI!!!'''" are a sight to behold, even by his standards. |
| 358 | * During a training exercise in ''Series/BandOfBrothers'', Sobel abandons any form of stealth and decides to attack by tear-assing down a road (in a highly conspicuous leather jacket), pistol aloft, screaming ''"Hi-O SILVER!"'' |
| 359 | * ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'': |
| 360 | ** [[TheAce Lord Flashheart]] is such a LargeHam he does this twice; first he rappels into the corridor and declares "Iiiit's ME!" Then he enters the room and announces "Flash by name - Flash by nature! Hurrah!", a sentiment shared by all the cast except Edmund. He also has the brilliant "Enter, a man who has no underwear." |
| 361 | ---> '''Lord [[PunnyName Flash]]:''' ''[offscreen]'' '''''HEY GIRLS! TAKE A LOOK AT MY MACHINERY!''''' ''[girls squealing off-screen, followed by Flashheart coming in through the door, [[SexyCoatFlashing adjusting his trousers]]]'' |
| 362 | ** General Melchett occasionally gets this. In the second episode his entrances are proceeded with his signature "BAAAAAAAHHHH", the second instance even causing Blackadder to flatly utter "I'm dead." |
| 363 | ** And of course, Creator/BrianBlessed himself. |
| 364 | --->'''Richard IV:''' '''BLOOD! DEATH! WAR! [[UnusualEuphemism RUMPY-PUMPY]]! TRIUMPH!''' |
| 365 | * On ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'', Eric enters the first episode of season 7 by jumping on the student center pool table and yelling "EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY HEAD!" (because he got an ImportantHaircut). This sets the tone for his [[{{Flanderization}} ever more over the top]] CloudCuckoolander personality that season. |
| 366 | * ''Series/Chef1993'': "HELLOO, RRROSBEEF!" |
| 367 | * ''Series/{{Community}}'': "Did someone say 'CRAZY PERSOOOOOOOOOOOON?!" |
| 368 | -->'''Everyone else:''' No.\ |
| 369 | '''Chang:''' ... Well, ''I'' heard it. |
| 370 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 371 | ** The Daleks: |
| 372 | *** Particularly in the new series, the first appearance of a Dalek in a story is always accompanied by the all-purpose catchphrase "[[AC:Exterminate!]]" |
| 373 | *** Variations include "[[AC:Halt! Stay where you are! You are a prisoner of the Daleks!]]", and so forth. |
| 374 | *** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd Journey's End]]": [[spoiler:Some Daleks in Germany use the battle cry of "[[AC:Exterminieren!]]".]] |
| 375 | ** TheMaster: |
| 376 | *** In all his appearances, The Master tends to announce himself with "I am the Master, and you will obey me." |
| 377 | *** Though that's nothing compared to the Master's introduction in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords Last of the Time Lords]]". You don't have it hammier than rocking your way into your flying SupervillainLair while singing to the Music/ScissorSisters about your relationship with your ArchEnemy. And broadcasting the music to the entire planet. |
| 378 | *** Both incarnations of [[ArchEnemy The Master]] in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia Utopia]]" serve as an incoming ham to the Saxon Master's EvilIsHammy antics in the episodes that follow. The Yana Master first serves as a HammyHerald by overdramatically shouting "THE MASTERRRR! REEEEEBOOOOORN!" before screaming through his regeneration. Then when the Saxon Master is born, he jumps up and exclaims "HA HAAAAAAA!" before running around the Tardis in circles laughing like a goofball. |
| 379 | *** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E9AscensionOfTheCybermen Ascension of the Cybermen]]": The Master jumps out of the Boundary portal all smiles: |
| 380 | ---->"WOW! Ah! That's a good entrance, right?" |
| 381 | ** The Captain's introduction in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E2ThePiratePlanet The Pirate Planet]]": "MR. FIBULI! MR. FIBULI! BY ALL THE X-RAY STORMS OF VIGA, '''WHERE''' IS THAT NINCOMPOOP?!" |
| 382 | ** Captain Jack's [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia return]] to the show: '''"DOOOOOOOOOOOCTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!"''' |
| 383 | ** Timothy Dalton as [[spoiler:Rassilon]] with "'''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime Gallifrey RISES!]]'''" whilst spitting all over the camera. |
| 384 | * ''Series/FamilyMatters'': Whenever Carl (or another family member, but Carl gets it the most) comments on the [[TemptingFate nice peaceful day he's having]], it's a sure sign that [[BlackAndNerdy Steve Urkel]] is about to show up with a "HI-DEE-HOOOOOOO, WINSLOWS!" |
| 385 | * Janice from ''Series/{{Friends}}'': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis OH. MY. GOD.]] |
| 386 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'': |
| 387 | ** In the last scene of episode 3, we're introduced to swordfighting instructor Syrio Forel, who's essentially played as a Spanish fop (albeit one who's also a MasterSwordsman) and says every single line as dramatically as possible. "JUST SO!" |
| 388 | ** Drogon is a ''dragon'', so being big and bombastic is just in his nature. He never fails to announce his presence with a mighty roar before appearing. |
| 389 | ** In Season 7, Euron announces his presence in battle by T-boning Yara's ship, crashing onto its with a giant gangplank shaped like a dragon and laughing maniacally. Doesn't get much hammier than that. |
| 390 | * ''Series/GoodEats'': '''I'M LACTOSE MAN!''' Lever Man (played by the same actor in the same costume) has a similar entry. |
| 391 | * Douglas Reynholm's EstablishingCharacterMoment from ''Series/TheITCrowd''. Nothing says '''LargeHam''' like this dude arriving late to [[TheFunInFuneral his dad's funeral]], slamming open the church doors, [[GlassesPull taking off his sunglasses]], making sure he's got everyone's attention and -- right before spectacularly running up the aisle, knocking down the casket ''and'' getting into a slap fight with the vicar -- MilkingTheGiantCow and {{Skyward Scream}}ing at the top of his lungs: "'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP7LHHR91lE FFFAAAAAAAAAAATHEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!]]'''" |
| 392 | * Momotaros/Sword Form in ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'' has his catchphrase "Ore...Sanjou!" ("I have arrived!"), which he simply can't appear without saying. In ''[[Series/KamenRiderDecade All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]]'', he even pushed a Mook out of the way just to make sure he got his catchphrase in. And God have mercy on you if you interrupt it! |
| 393 | * ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'': The Mysterious prophet [[FountainOfMemes Woz]] can't resist the urge to ham it up, especially when proclaiming [[MemeticMutation "IWAE"]] (REJOICE) before launching into a speech celebrating the [[FromNobodyToNightmare protagonist]] nearly every episode. He hates having his moment interrupted and due to his StealthHiBye antics, oftentimes scares the crap out of someone by popping up and yelling "IWAE" at max volume. |
| 394 | * From ''Series/TheLateLateShowWithCraigFerguson'', Kronos the monkey puppet. |
| 395 | -->'''''[[DoNotAdjustYourSet People. Of. Earth!]]''''' |
| 396 | * Squiggy's nasal "Hallooooo!" every time he and Lenny would [[DropInCharacter drop in]] on ''Series/LaverneAndShirley''. |
| 397 | * ''Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen'': |
| 398 | ** "Hello, hello? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here!" |
| 399 | ** "Hello, Daaaaaaaave?" |
| 400 | ** "Okey-cokey, pig-in-a-pokey! Good morning, job seekers!" |
| 401 | * Gene Hunt (of ''Series/{{Life on Mars|2006}}'' and ''Series/{{Ashes to Ashes|2008}}'') gets ''a lot'' of these. (The phrase "armed bastards", while well known, has only actually featured twice.) |
| 402 | * ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'': Not a one liner, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Nz3MhQ92k Bob Fossil's entry]] in the Stage Show fits this trope nonetheless. It's over the top, it's noisy, it announces the presence of a LargeHam... the only difference is that it goes on for longer. |
| 403 | * ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'': Rita Repulsa is given one in the opening, cementing her status as a LargeHam before the show even began. |
| 404 | -->'''Rita Repulsa:''' '''AH!'''! After ten-thousand years, I'm free! It's time to conquer '''Earth'''! |
| 405 | * ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'': '''NOBODY''' EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! |
| 406 | * ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': |
| 407 | ** Doctor Forrester's first appearance in any episode is usually announced with some variation on "Hello, booby," or another insulting nickname for Joel or Mike. |
| 408 | ** Then when Pearl took over as the major BigBad, she would often greet Mike while making fun of his name, such as: "Oh hi Nike Smelson." |
| 409 | ** [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E16AlienFromLA "MMMMMIKE!" "MMMMMIKE!"]] |
| 410 | * In the MusicalEpisode of ''Series/OnceUponATime'', Snow White sits up in bed and expresses confusion at the fact that she is suddenly singing. Enter Prince Charming, flinging open the door and boasting how good his singing voice is. |
| 411 | * ''Series/OurMissBrooks'': Mr. Conklin usually enters with characteristic bluster. |
| 412 | * In the first episode of each season of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', the [[DragQueen contestants]] make their entrance into the Werk Room one by one, thus giving each one a prime opportunity to make a good first impression with their personality and drag style. But for the first four seasons, this wasn't uniform. Some queens made a grand entrance while others just walked in and said hi. But starting in Season 5, the producers have been encouraging ''every'' queen to make it count with a pose and a one-liner, while others go beyond and make it an ''event'': |
| 413 | -->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL1d7kG3xv4 Laganja Estranga]]:''' Oh y'all wanted a twist, eh? [[MemeticMutation Come on Season Six]], let's get SICKENING! ''[does a death drop in the doorway]'' |
| 414 | -->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQS6ky8sKAo Cynthia Lee Fontaine]]:''' ''How you doing,'' mis amores??? Do you want to see my ''Cucu??? [sticks her surgically enhanced butt toward the camera]'' |
| 415 | ** In season 9, Sasha Velour walked in and '''''screamed''''' at the top of her lungs [[OverlyLongScream for a good ten seconds.]] Quickly subverted when she wound up being the most soft-spoken queen that season. |
| 416 | ** And then there's one of the most famous entrances on the show - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OBOwY73Eoc Shangela popping out of a gift-wrapped box.]] That's the level of extra that would make her a legend in ''Drag Race'' circles. |
| 417 | ** In Season 2 when not everyone made their entrance a spectacle, Pandora Boxx was ahead of the curve, walking in and shouting with a big, goofy grin on her face, "HEY, FAKE ''LADIIIIIIIIIIES!!!"'' |
| 418 | ** Spinoff ''Canada's Drag Race'' gave us Ilona Verley, who first walked into the Werk Room with her phone, while on an Instagram live session, in full MotorMouth mode, before ending it and ''smashing her phone on the floor'' with a wicked grin, scaring the crap out of the other queens. |
| 419 | * Subverted on ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. Dr. Kevin Casey, played by Michael J. Fox, walks in dramatically and looks like he's about to give a one-liner... then stops, turns around, and comes back again. Then he stops, turns around, and comes back again, and J.D. reflects on his obsessive-compulsive disorder. Once he's made his entrance to his satisfaction, in lieu of a proper one-liner, he makes some comment about the crazy-strict rules he gave himself about entering the hospital. |
| 420 | * ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': Kramer always entered Jerry's apartment with a dramatic slide - but it was postal employee Newman who had a recurring Ham whenever he entered a scene. |
| 421 | -->"Hello, ''Jerry''." |
| 422 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': |
| 423 | ** Q would sometimes deliver a portent just before materializing. "Au contraire, mon capitan! 'Eee's BAAAACK!" |
| 424 | ** The Borg always state their mantra of assimilation before proceeding to tear things apart. |
| 425 | * ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': |
| 426 | ** Lonzak in the WorldOfHam holodeck program ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Adventures of Captain Proton]]''. |
| 427 | --->"HALT, IN THE NAME OF [[BigBad CHAOTICA!!]]" |
| 428 | ** The Doctor, in his Fair Haven priest getup, bursting in with a shout of "SINNERS!" |
| 429 | ** Creator/GeorgeTakei, who heavily campaigned to star in his own spinoff ''Excelsior'', never got his wish; but he did get to sit in the Captain's chair in VOY's "Flashback". He only gets a handful of lines and milks them for all they're worth. "My... ''[[BigOMG Goooooooooooooooooooood.]]''" |
| 430 | --->'''[[http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/voyager-season-three.html Doc Oho:]]''' Takei walks through the smoke on the Bridge of the ''Excelsior'' like a dog sniffing out a sausage! |
| 431 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': The Trickster in "Hammer of the Gods" ("Can't we all just GET ALONG?") and when [[TrappedInTVLand entering the sitcom]] in "Changing Channels" right after having Castiel BlownAcrossTheRoom. |
| 432 | -->"Helloooo!" ''(audience goes wild)'' "Thank you! Thank you!" |
| 433 | * ''Series/TopGearUK'': |
| 434 | ** Jeremy Clarkson tends to be heard long before he appears; |
| 435 | --->'''Jeremy Clarkson:''' ''[from across the studio]'' That is DISGUSTING!\ |
| 436 | '''Richard Hammond:''' Oh, dear! I fear Jeremy may be heading this way with an opinion! |
| 437 | ** And Jeremy arriving in a fast car; |
| 438 | --->'''Jeremy:''' POOOWWEEEER! |
| 439 | * ''Series/TheWestWing'': President Bartlet's first appearance on the show is preceeded by his proclamation (in the full authoritative voice of the President), "I am the Lord your God! Thou shalt have no other gods before me." ItMakesSenseInContext, but ''wow''. |
| 440 | ** Followed up with "Boy, those were the days, huh?" |
| 441 | ** In Season two, White House Counsel Lionel Tribbey, an imposing man by any standard, makes his first entrance by bursting through a door shouting "I WILL KILL PEOPLE TODAY, LEO!", while brandishing a cricket bat that was given to him by Queen Elizabeth II. |
| 442 | ** Also, basically every single entrance from Lord John Marbury. |
| 443 | * ''Series/WillAndGrace'': "Hey, friends, lovers, mothers and other strangers, you are not going to believe what happened to me..." |
| 444 | * ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati'' subverts this brilliantly in one episode, where Les Nessman introduces a new opening theme to the news that's such an Incoming Ham you expect it to be directed by Cecil B. Demille and voiced by James Earl Jones. He then begins the news in his normal squeak of a voice. |
| 445 | [[/folder]] |
| 446 | |
| 447 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 448 | * "Alright, [insert city/venue here]! Yoooou wanted the best... You got the best! The hottest band in the world... '''[+Music/{{KISS}}+]'''!" |
| 449 | ** The line, but not the trope, is subverted at some Music/GunsNRoses concerts: "Alright, [insert city/venue here]! Yoooou wanted the best... but they didn't make it. Here's what you get! From Hollywood... '''GUNS N [FUCKING] ROSES!'''" |
| 450 | * Peter Steele of Music/TypeONegative fame manages this in his earlier band, Carnivore. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e9FbnyLldQ GREETINGS AND FELICITATIONS CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY!]] |
| 451 | * Music/KidRock: [+MY-NAME-IS KIIIIIIIIIIID! KID ROCK!+] |
| 452 | * Music/OzzyOsbourne: ALL ABOARD!! AHAHAHAHAH! |
| 453 | * Music/SexPistols: Rrrrrrrrrrright... NOW, [[EvilLaugh MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!]] |
| 454 | * To show that he could be a fair replacement to Music/DavidLeeRoth at least in bombast, Sammy Hagar's first song with Music/VanHalen opens up with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kfYWPquNMc "HELLO BAAAABYYY! YEEEEEEEEAH!"]] |
| 455 | * Music/TheWall: |
| 456 | ** "Good morning, Worm your honour!" |
| 457 | ** And shortly after: '''''[[ArcWords BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABE!!!!!!!!!!!!]]''''' |
| 458 | * Music/DanceGavinDance: "HA-HAA! DANCE GAVIN DANCE, BABY! DOWNTOWN BATTLE MOUNTAIN TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" (from "Thug City"). |
| 459 | * Music/{{Venom|Band}}: '''''COME ON, TURN IT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP! HAHAHAHAHA!''''' |
| 460 | * Music/JudasPriest probably gave the best example ever in the opening line to ''Ram It Down'': |
| 461 | --> '''''[[MetalScream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!]]''''' |
| 462 | * Music/{{WASP}}: Come on in... '''''[[EvilLaugh WAHAHAHAHAHA!]]''''' |
| 463 | * Music/{{Pitbull}} is usually introduced on both his songs and [[AWildRapperAppears his guest appearances]] with an unmistakable "''[=whooooooHOO=]!!!''" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7vecVGepyE Here's a compilation]] of just some of them. |
| 464 | * Likewise with Music/DjKhaled, whose introduction sees him [[SayMyName shouting his name]] at full volume, often followed by "We the Best Music!" (the name of his record label). It's even lampshaded on the Creator/LilDicky[=/=]Music/ChrisBrown song "Freaky Friday", where Dicky, after [[FreakyFridayFlip switching bodies with him]], shouts "I'M DJ KHALED! ...why am I yelling?" |
| 465 | * Music/RKelly: My mind's telling me noooooo... '''But my body...''' '''''MY BODY'S TELLIN' ME YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!''''' |
| 466 | * Music/{{Korn}}: "[[MetalScream Are you RRREADYYY?!]]" There's a ''reason'' those three words kicked off the rise of NuMetal. |
| 467 | [[/folder]] |
| 468 | |
| 469 | [[folder:Podcasts]] |
| 470 | * ''Radio/TrueCapitalist'': |
| 471 | ** The radio's host has this: |
| 472 | ---> "Well folks, I think it's time for everyone's favorite part of the broadcast, AND AH'M TALKIN' ABOUT '''RADIO GRAFFITTIIIIII!''' HAHAHAHAAAA!" |
| 473 | ** And then there's the callers. |
| 474 | -->'''Ghost:''' 213/478, what do you think about Obama?\ |

| 480 | [[/folder]] |
| 481 | |
| 482 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 483 | * This trope is near universal in pro wrestling, as pretty much any time a wrestler enters the arena, whether for a match or to cut a promo, their music is going to play, loudly. |
| 484 | * Wrestling/RicFlair: '''WWOOOOOOOO!!''' |
| 485 | * Wrestling/BraunStrowman: '''BRAAAAUUUUNNNNNNN!''' |

He would go on to use a lesser - but still very [[LargeHam hammy]] - version of this entrance throughout his time in the company. |

| 500 | * '''[[Wrestling/BigShow WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL IT'S THE BIG SHOW!!!!]]''' |

| 551 | [[/folder]] |
| 552 | |
| 553 | [[folder:Radio]] |
| 554 | * In ''Radio/TheMenFromTheMinistry'' [[BadBoss Sir Gregory]] always makes his arrival clear to everyone when enters the office. |
| 555 | -->''Let me get my hands on you!'' |
| 556 | [[/folder]] |
| 557 | |
| 558 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 559 | * In the modern re-interpretation of ''The Imaginary Invalid'', Beralde is introduced when he marches on stage and announces to the other characters, "I WRESTLED A ''BEAR'' TODAY." |
| 560 | -->'''Toinette:''' Your shirt is all tattered!\ |
| 561 | '''Beralde:''' That's what happens when you GRAB LIFE BY THE BALLS. |
| 562 | * Shakespeare's entrance in Theatre/AndJuliet, (particularly when played by Oliver Tompsett), coming up through a trap door/lift in the centre of the stage, striking a pose with his quill and raising a coy eyebrow at his fans (and the audience.) Whilst "Larger Than Life" plays, no less. |
| 563 | * In the farce ''Murder in the Magnolias'', Hollywood actress Lotta Kargo makes her first entrance proclaiming "In two days, tomorrow will be yesterday!" |
| 564 | * MilesGloriosus makes his grand entrance in ''Theatre/AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum'' with several {{fanfare}}s and the line "Stand aside everyone! I take ''LARGE STEPS!''" |
| 565 | * ''Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix'' has Richard Henry Lee: "YOU SENT FOR ME, BENJAMIN?... HELLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOO JOHNNY!!!" |
| 566 | * ''Theatre/{{Rent}}'' has Maureen delivering this little gem when she arrives for her performance: |
| 567 | -->'''Maureen:''' ''[dramatically]'' JOANNE! Which way to the stage?! |
| 568 | * Likewise her equivalent character in ''Theatre/LaBoheme'' appears interrupting a relatively smooth set piece coming in to riotous music. Conventionally we're first aware of her when we hear her shrieking with forced laughter off-stage, and in higher budget productions she often makes her entrance in an actual horse-drawn carriage or, if the setting is updated, a fancy car. |
| 569 | * ''Theatre/JasperInDeadland'': |
| 570 | ** Hel and Loki. Their entrance is always signaled by drums and thunder, followed by them loudly saying their names. |
| 571 | ** Inverted with Ammut. She introduces herself in a bored, disinterested way, but acts more loud and bombastic when talking about her role guarding the gates of Deadland. |
| 572 | * Depending on the production, Rum Tum Tugger from ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'' can potentially have multiple ones of these. Generally, his first entrance (as himself rather than a chorus cat) is signaled by a dramatic guitar riff and a one-liner or sound effect; if the production includes "The Aweful Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles", he gets at least one mid-song entrance playing the bagpipes, and he even occasionally gets a dramatic entrance at the beginning of "Magical Mr. Mistoffelees", which is ''someone else's song''. |
| 573 | * The song "Dear Old Shiz" in ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' ends with Galinda dramatically singing a high note as she is rolled onstage, letting you know that young Galinda will be much sillier than the older Glinda that appeared earlier in the show. |
| 574 | ** Elphaba makes a hammy entrance in "No Good Deed", in which she is raised up through the stage scream-singing "FIIIEEEROOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" |
| 575 | * In ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'', Mabel introduces herself with a coloratura cadence. |
| 576 | * The WorldOfHam that is opera is full of such examples, though ''Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville'' has a particularly memorable one with ''Largo al factum'', several bars of which are sung from off-stage before the baritone enters to sing this loud and flamboyant IAmSong. (Actually very useful for nervous singers to get into LargeHam mode before the audience can see them.) |
| 577 | * Introduced by a HammyHerald in the form of a breathtaking trumpet solo, the titular character of ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}'' opens the verbal (and at points, depending on the production, physical) duel with [[ColdHam Death himself.]] with a triumphant scream of her name. [[note]]The last line of the previous song was the ensemble chanting her name.[[/note]] |
| 578 | * ''Theatre/TwistedTheUntoldStoryOfARoyalVizier'': "Au contraire!" Even in a parody where he's not identified by name, [[spoiler:no one makes a dramatic entrance like Gaston]]. |
| 579 | * The Verdi opera ''Theatre/{{Othello}}'' gives its title character one of the loudest, hammiest entrances of any leading tenor at the climax of the opening storm scene. He only sings here for a dozen bars of accompanied recitative (which is immediately followed by a livelier choral ensemble), but it's impressive enough that it's often been presented as an aria on recordings. |
| 580 | * Ivan Turgenev's play Fortune's Fool features the entry of wealthy neighbour Flegont Alexandrovitch Tropatchov bursting onto the scene and dominating the stage with a breathless monologue before asking the poor Kuzovkin if he's boring him. |
| 581 | * In the [[ScreenToStageAdaptation stage musical]] ''Film/KinkyBoots'': |
| 582 | ** Lola has several moments like these, notably in the finale, "Raise You Up". |
| 583 | --->'''Lola:''' Don't go thinking it was your sappy phone calls that brought me here. I've come for one thing and one thing only--ADULATION! |
| 584 | ** Don also has his moment in the same number when he and the rest of the Price and Son's employees show up on the runway wearing kinky boots: |
| 585 | --->'''Don:''' Look out, Milan, here comes Don,\ |
| 586 | And Don has brought some friends along! |
| 587 | * ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'': |
| 588 | ** ''HERE COMES THE [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington GENERAL!]]'' |
| 589 | ** The Pride of Mt. Vernon, GEOOORGE WASHINGTON! |
| 590 | ** Let's be honest, this is practically [[PhraseCatcher Aaron Burr, Sir's]] ''job''. |
| 591 | ** ''Two'' ham songs, ''Guns and Ships'' to introduce Lafayette ('''EV'RYONE GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICA'S FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCHMAN!'''/ '''LAFAYETTE!''') and ''Yorktown'' to introduce [[note]]That's right,[[/note]] '''''[[spoiler:HERCULES MULLIGAN!!!]]''''' |
| 592 | ** Three if you count the end of "Farmer Refuted" ("Silence! A message from the King, ''a message from the King'', '''a message frooom the Kiiiiiing!'''") leading into [[UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfHanover King George III's]] introduction in "You'll Be Back" |
| 593 | ** And another in "What'd I Miss": |
| 594 | --->'''Burr:''' But someone's gotta keep the American promise, you simply must meet Thomas. Thomas!\ |
| 595 | '''Chorus:''' ''Thomas Jefferson's comin' hooooome...'' |
| 596 | * ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'': |
| 597 | ** "WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HEEEEEEEERE?!" This immortal line was uttered by ''Snape''. In fact, Joe Moses in general, if ''Theatre/{{Starship}}'' is anything to go on, too. |
| 598 | ** "Did somebody say DRACO MALFOY?" is probably the best example from the show. It gets special mention because nobody had actually said "Draco Malfoy". Draco's cue line was "Now let's leave these big baby childish jerks alone" before [[CrosscastRole s/he]] interrupts the scene. |
| 599 | ** In the sequel, Goyle has a triple Incoming Ham moment which references ''three'' different Incoming Ham in a row: "WHO DARES DISTURB MY SLUMBER? GET OVER HERE! IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!" |
| 600 | * In ''[[Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung Siegfried]]'', the HotBlooded title character makes his first entrance shouting wildly while driving a bear onstage. |
| 601 | [[/folder]] |
| 602 | |
| 603 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 604 | * ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'': Sanger Zombolt takes the cake. |
| 605 | -->'''Sanger:''' SHUT UP AND LISTEN! I AM SANGER... SANGER ZOMBOLT! THE SWORD THAT SMITES EVIL! |
| 606 | * ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' demonstrates this with the loveable [[spoiler:bar of soap,]] Balrog. |
| 607 | -->'''Balrog:''' ''[in the original language]'' [++HEEEEEEEYYYY!++]\ |
| 608 | '''Balrog:''' ''[in the FanTranslation]'' [++HUZZAH!++]\ |
| 609 | '''Balrog:''' ''[in the official translation]'' [++OH YEAH!++] |
| 610 | * ''VideoGame/CosmicBreak'': The Game Masters always do this in each and every VS. Chaos event. |
| 611 | -->'''GM:''' [++FEEL THE POWER OF MY CRUISE CONTROOOOOOL++]\ |
| 612 | [++"MY KEYBOARD ISN'T READY FOR THIS"++] |
| 613 | * ''VideoGame/CityOfVillains'' |
| 614 | ** In a mission where you are sent to stop the Circle of Thorns from summoning Baphomet, Bat'Zul's arrival is preceded by four waves of herald demons who announce his impending arrival. Talk about ego. |
| 615 | ** For that matter, almost every Archvillain or Elite Boss or allies, and many boss-level enemies have a few lines to introduce themselves. Most of them aren't too pretentious, although Lord Nemesis! is behind everything. |
| 616 | * ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'': "Enter the Amazing Guy!" |
| 617 | * ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' |
| 618 | ** "And he cried in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' And Lazarus did arise from the grave...." |
| 619 | ** "Kane Lives in death! Kane Lives in death!" "KANE... LIIIVEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!" |
| 620 | ** All hero units (and some late game units) in the games announce their presence on the battlefield with this trope, especially the original Commando and Tanya. |
| 621 | * ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': |
| 622 | ** [[spoiler:Ansem/Xehanort's Heartless introduces himself: "It is I, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness."]] |
| 623 | ** Maleficent gets one as well, when she goes into her OneWingedAngel dragon form: "THE TRU-U-UE DA-A-ARKNESS!" |
| 624 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA85IsVR6Zo WELCOME TO THE LEAGUE OF DDDRRAVENN.]] |
| 625 | * ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': [[spoiler:Godfrey, First Elden Lord's transition into his second phase. It's thematically important, too, since Godfrey grafted the lion Serosh onto himself to sate his [[BloodKnight lust for battle]], so him removing Serosh and reverting to his true identity as [[BarbarianHero Hoarah Loux]] is a sign that he is done playing games and is about give you a serious ass-whooping.]] |
| 626 | -->[[spoiler:'''Godfrey:''' [[TheGlovesComeOff I've given thee courtesy enough]]. Now, I fight as Hoarah Loux, '''WARRIOR!''']] |
| 627 | * ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'' |
| 628 | ** Zetta's first line, being an impressive EvilLaugh along with a declaration that ''"[[NothingCanStopUsNow Nothing Can Stop Me Now!]]"'', qualifies for this trope in flying colours. Zetta then goes on to [[ChewingTheScenery ham up the next two scenes something fierce]] until he mellows down after [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds destroys his own netherworld by being stupid.]] |
| 629 | ** Zetta is later out-hammed by [[LargeHam King Drake the Third]], with his introduction of "I am the king of the universe! The galactic hero; the creator of all things, decently sized! Say my name if you know it! I am... [[StuffBlowingUp * dramatic explosion* ]]... '''KING DRAKE THE THIRD!'''" The fact that King Drake III is voiced by Creator/NorioWakamoto in the Japanese track (who is practically the Patron Saint of Hammy Seiyuu) helps. |
| 630 | * ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'': Lots of Reapers demonstrate various levels of hamminess. Sho Minamimoto manages to beat them all out. |
| 631 | -->'''Minamimoto:''' Sooo Zetta Slow! How long does it take you to crack a Z-Class code! You factoring Hectopascals! |
| 632 | * Waka, from ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. |
| 633 | -->"Hark! The call of the heavens, the earth, the sea... They summon me forth to defeat evil! Waka, the gods' gift to man, is here! Bonjour!" |
| 634 | * ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': Every time Mettaton makes an entrance. '''"OHHHHHH YESSS!"''' |
| 635 | ** Gets even better when he says it right as he's transforming into his EX form, as that time it's fully voiced. ''This is one of the only instances of voice acting in the entire game.'' |
| 636 | * ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' |
| 637 | ** ''Warcraft II'': "[[TheUndead I'm aliiiiiiiiive!]]" |
| 638 | ** ''Warcraft III'': "[[StuffBlowingUp Mortaaar combaaat!]]" "[[DarkIsNotEvil At last, we shall have revenge.]]" |
| 639 | ** All mere ''insects'' before Archimonde: "Tremble mortals, and despair! '''[[DoomyDoomsOfDoom DOOM]] has come to this world!'''" |
| 640 | * ''[[Franchise/MassEffect Mass Effe]]''[[AC:[[InterruptingMeme Assuming]]]] [[AC:[[VideoGame/MassEffect2 direct]]]] [[AC:[[VillainOverride control.]]]] |
| 641 | ** [[AC:[[VideoGame/MassEffect1 You are not Saren]].]] |
| 642 | * ''VideoGame/{{Sinistar}}'': '''"BEWARE! I LIVE!"''' |
| 643 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Every. Single. Raid. Boss. ''Ever.'' The top two are probably Kael and Malygos. Kael gives a hammy speech that lasts several minutes every time you engage him, and later returns to inform you that [[MemeticMutation He knows what you're thinking. But Tempest Keep was merely a setback!]] Malygos? '''WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH HERE? TO EMPLOY MAGIC? AGAINST ME? [[EvilLaugh Bwahahahahahahaha!]]''' |
| 644 | ** '''TOO SOON! YOU HAVE AWAKENED ME TOO SOON, EXECUTUS!''' |
| 645 | ** Also, the Headless Horseman. '''EACH OF YOU SHALL PAY THE FINAL SUM! CRRRRRY FOR MERCY! THE RECKONING HAS COME!!''' |
| 646 | ** '''''[+YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!+]''''' |
| 647 | ** Lord Marrowgar. '''THIS IS THE BEGINNING, AND THE END MORTALS! NONE MAY ENTER THE MASTER'S SANCTUM!''' |
| 648 | ** Sindragosa. '''YOU WERE FOOLS TO HAVE COME TO THIS PLACE!''' |
| 649 | ** Deathwing, in ''Cataclysm's'' [[http://youtu.be/Wq4Y7ztznKc?t=17s intro cinematic.]] The opening note of music, silence, then: '''"PAAAAAAAAAAIN! AAAAGONYYYYYYY! My hatred BUUUUURNS through the CAVERNOUS DEEP!"''' |
| 650 | ** An interesting twist is in the Frost Lord Ahune encounter. When he is summoned, the player is the one delivering the lines - one of the rare instances in which the game makes a player character talk. Also done in the Headless Horseman encounter, actually. "Horseman rise/ Your time is nigh/ You felt death once/ Now, know demise!" There is never any other indication in the game that your character [[RhymesOnADime is the poetic sort.]] |
| 651 | ** More recently, Ultraxion. I am the beginning of the end! The shadow which bolts out the sun! The bell which tolls your doom! '''For this moment ALONE was I made! [[LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair Look upon your death, mortals...and despair!]]''' Most of the dragons do this. |
| 652 | ** In Mists of Pandaria, we have Lei Shen, the Thunder King. '''"You! You have earned my ire. I will make an example of you, such that all who look upon my might will tremble and SUBMIT!"''' Some of the Sha count as well, particularly Anger, who has an appropriate line each time he appears. [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred "Yes, YES! Bring your rage to bear! Try to strike me down!"]] |
| 653 | ** One of the best parts of running Trial of the Crusader? Lord Jaraxxus, Who is possibly the king of making an entrance. '''"TRIFILING GNOME. YOUR ARROGANCE WILL BE YOUR UNDOING!, YOU FACE JARAXXUS! ERADAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION!!!"''' |
| 654 | %% * : |
| 655 | %% ** Any time in a game when introduces himself. Sonic and Shadow do this too, to a lesser extent. |
| 656 | * While most of Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik's introductions in ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' count, his entrance line in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' gets extra ham points. "You know NOTHING, fool! It's '''CHAOS''', the '''GOD''' of '''DESTRUCTION'''!!" |
| 657 | * Grahf does a bit of this in ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' whenever he shows up to ruin your day. Saying things like ''"Doth thou desire the power?"'' and ''"Blossom o fallen seed and grant unto thee the power of the glorious Mother of Destruction!"'' His [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic kicking tune]] doesn't hurt either. |
| 658 | * Magneto, in the ''VideoGame/XMen'' arcade game: "X-Men! Welcome... TO YOUR DOOM!" |
| 659 | -->"[[GratuitousEnglish WELCOME TO DIE!]]" |
| 660 | ** That previous line was parodied in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''. |
| 661 | * ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'': |
| 662 | ** The first game has the following line from Minsc when you first click on him: "Stand and deliver, that my hamster may have a better look at you!" |
| 663 | ** And Xzar has: "Montaron! You are so AGGRAVATING! 'Tis disturbing to my DEMEANOUR!" |
| 664 | ** In the sequel, if you weren't expecting Minsc to be hammy after his proclamation that the bars "BEND AND TWIST WITH [HIS] BERSERKER STRENGTH!!", there is very little that can be done to help you. |
| 665 | * Most of the characters have ham-tastic introductory animations before battles in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''. But El Fuerte's grand declaration of '''"IT'S SUPERRRRR DYNAMIIIIIIC COOKING TIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!"''' contains enough ham to choke your arteries. |
| 666 | * The ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' series. Pick your game: |
| 667 | ** '''''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid "BRRRRROOOTHEEER!"]]''''' |
| 668 | ** ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty "KILL ME]]'' '''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty NOW!"]]''' |
| 669 | ** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater "Welcome to my country...]] '''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater AND MY UNIT!"]]''' |
| 670 | ** '''[[QuirkyMinibossSquad "WE ARE THE SONS OF THE BOSS!"]]''' |
| 671 | ** [[SayMyName This]]: |
| 672 | -->'''Old Snake:''' '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIfUB376xvU LIQUIIID!]]'''''\ |
| 673 | '''Liquid Ocelot:''' '''''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots SNAAAAAKE!]]''''' |
| 674 | ** ''Any one'' of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV Skull Face's]] intro lines, but especially "You too have known loss... and that loss torments you still! You hope hatred... might someday replace the pain! But it never goes away!" |
| 675 | ** ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance "How pleased you are to chop away, Jack the Ripper!"]]'' |
| 676 | ** [[spoiler:[[FinalBoss "Well, if it isn't Saucy Jack! Just a little too late... as usual."]]]] |
| 677 | * ''VideoGame/DeadRising'': "THIS IS MY STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!" |
| 678 | * [[EvilChancellor Vice President]] Richard [[MeaningfulName Hawk]] from ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'': "Hello hello hello, hello, Michael! How's life treating you?" He also has a habit of using EvilLaughter for the same purpose. His first line in the game is evil laughter, and sets the tone for his performance. |
| 679 | ** '''''HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW???!?!?!?!?!?''''' |
| 680 | * Everyone in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has their hammy moments, some more than others, so many of their "battle cry" lines -- uttered at the beginning of every round -- count as this. Especially the Heavy and Demoman. Also, the Heavy's Übercharge lines, given the context. "IS GOOD TIME TO RUN, COWARDS!" |
| 681 | ** For the game itself it was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj-Ds70Mhn8 "I am Heavy Weapon's Guy"]], and then the ham just kept coming |
| 682 | ** [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/d/df/Heavy_incoming03.wav?t=20100625224334 This line says it all]] and this says [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/c/c5/Heavy_sandwichtaunt06.wav?t=20100625221932 the rest]]. |
| 683 | ** The Heavy had a literal example as he made his grand entrance in "Meet the Spy". |
| 684 | ** Merasmus the Magician has several lines for him to say when he arrives, and every single one of them is full of ham. |
| 685 | -->"[[TrrrillingRrrs MERRRASMUS]] ARRIVES IN A TIDE OF ''BLOOD''! [[MonsterRoommate Oh, hello Soldier]]." |
| 686 | ** The fan-made, fan-voiced mod known as "Versus Saxton Hale Mode" pits the RED team against TestosteronePoisoning Incarnate Saxton Hale, who will always [[BadassBoast announce himself loudly]] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner at the start of every match]] with [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/3/3d/Saxton_Hale_battlecry04.wav unbelievable amounts of cured pork in every line]]. |
| 687 | * In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' (Advance translation), your first proper battle with [[BraggartBoss Gilgamesh]] is proceeded by: |
| 688 | -->''HA HA! [[InescapableAmbush Guess who's been hiding behind this door the whole time?]] Yes, it's me!''\ |
| 689 | ''Took you long enough, too... [[FriendlyEnemy I was just getting worried you might have gotten lost!]]''\ |
| 690 | ''Anyway! [[PreAsskickingOneLiner It's go time!]]'' |
| 691 | ** What is probably his most infamous line in the entire franchise: |
| 692 | -->"Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh...''IT IS MORPHING TIME!''" |
| 693 | ::''Any'' time [[BraggartBoss Gilgamesh]] shows up, you can be guaranteed that there will be enough ham to feed a city block for a week. |
| 694 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': |
| 695 | ** Kefka: "Phooey! Emperor Gesthal's stupid orders! Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live in the middle of a stinking desert?!? These recon jobs are the pits! ...AHEM! There's SAND on my boots!" The audio helps, as his unique and immediately recognizable laugh precedes some of the greatest ham the series has ever served up, and his [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic theme music]] adds to the effect by being at once humorous and intimidating, just like the man himself. |
| 696 | ** Ultros: "Uwee ee ee, Game Over! Don't tease the Octopus kids!" |
| 697 | ** [[BoisterousBruiser Sabin]]: "Give it up, Vargas!" |
| 698 | ** Both versions of AtmaUltima deliver a big one, ending with "feeble creatures, die[[NeverSayDie go]]!" to cement it. |
| 699 | * ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':' "I am the man of love and justice, Bang Shishigami!" And while we're at it: "I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction. I am Hakumen. The end has come!" |
| 700 | * ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': |
| 701 | ** The opening cutscenes for the games let you know [[WorldOfHam just how dramatic the game is going to be]] (true to its source, ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''), so they're the games' Incoming Ham line in a sense. |
| 702 | ** There are also these two lines in the ''Dawn of War II'''s opening cutscene: |
| 703 | --->'''Eldar Farseer:''' You lost this war before you even started, fool.\ |
| 704 | '''Space Marine Captain:''' ''(in the absolute loudest scream possible)'' TAKE COVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR! |
| 705 | ** The Assault Marines in the first ''Dawn of War'' were rather fond of shouting "[[DeathFromAbove DEATH FROM ABOOOOOOVE!!]]" while activating their jump packs, followed by crashing down onto whoever was unlucky enough and unleashing the full force of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'''s extra-strong brand of ChainsawGood. |
| 706 | ** In addition, in ''Dawn of War II'' every single boss creature except [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Tyranid beasts]] gleefully indulges in this. |
| 707 | * From ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YKb06ERDYs CHAMPION OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE... GRAND PAPILLON!!!]]. This coming from [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot a gay vampire wrestler who thinks he's a superhero.]] |
| 708 | * ''VideoGame/PunchOut'': Super Macho Man gives a truly hamtastic line when you first fight him; |
| 709 | -->"Are you ''READY?!'' 'Cause ''I'm'' gonna put on a ''SHOW!''" |
| 710 | * "You ''forget'' what it means to be 'human', Pius!" -- Alexander Roivas, ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' |
| 711 | * ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}'': |
| 712 | ** "I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask a question: Is a man not entitled to the ''sweat'' of his ''brow''?" |
| 713 | ** "I'M SANDER '''FUCKING''' COHEN!" |
| 714 | * ''Videogame/CrashBandicoot3Warped'': "Mwahahahahahah... free, at LASSST!" |
| 715 | * ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'': "Did someone just page the King of Awesome?" |
| 716 | * ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}} 2'': Colonel Radec arrives to say "Haven't I killed ALL of you yet?" |
| 717 | * ''VideoGame/Fallout3'': Meet the HumongousMecha! '''LIBERTY PRIME IS ONLINE. ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL. WEAPONS: HOT. MISSION: THE DESTRUCTION OF ANY AND ALL CHINESE COMMUNISTS.''' |
| 718 | ** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas: Old World Blues'': "[[EvilLaugh Ahahahaha]]! I am on-line once again! Tremble world before my electric heating coil of doom!" This coming from a '''toaster'''. |
| 719 | *** From the same DLC, Dr. Klein ''tries'' this intentionally on the PC, but gets distracted in the midst of scarfing down [[ChewingTheScenery scenery]] by the fact [[NoIndoorVoice someone messed with his volume knob]]. |
| 720 | ** ''VideoGame/Fallout4'': If you side with the Brotherhood, [[spoiler:Liberty Prime is back online, as hamy as ever]]. |
| 721 | * ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' |
| 722 | ** "ZEUS!!! YOUR SON HAS RETURNED!!! I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS!!!" |
| 723 | ** "''You challenge '''me''', mortal? A GOD OF OLYMPUS?!''" |
| 724 | ** Zeus' opening RousingSpeech in ''III'' definitely qualifies. |
| 725 | ** "''Behold the GLORY of '''HELIOS!!'''''" |
| 726 | * ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks'': |
| 727 | -->'''Malladus''': RELEAAAASE MEEEEEE!!! |
| 728 | * ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' is [[WorldOfHam rife with this,]] but special mention goes to '''[[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Captain Gordon]], [[MemeticMutation DEFENDER OF EARTH!!!]]''' |
| 729 | * ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'': WE-ARE-THE-RHOMBULANS. YOUR-PATHETIC-PLANET-IS-NOW-OURS. |
| 730 | ** Setting the tone for the entire damn game: '''AGENTS ARE...''' '''''GO!!!!''''' |
| 731 | * ''Every'' unit says one of these lines upon being produced in ''VideoGame/StarCraft''. |
| 732 | -->"[[MilitaryMaverick Alright, bring it on!]]"\ |
| 733 | "[[TankGoodness Ready to roll out!"]]\ |
| 734 | "[[WarriorMonk My life for Aiur!]]"\ |
| 735 | "[[TheCorruption Live for the Swarm!]]" |
| 736 | ** The Overmind, when it gives you a briefing at the beginning of Zerg campaign. |
| 737 | ** Continued into ''VideoGame/StarcraftII''. |
| 738 | -->"[[GrenadeLauncher Let's have a blast!]]"\ |
| 739 | "[[TheAhnold Thor is here!]]" |
| 740 | * ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'': '''I... AM AVALON CENTRIFUGE!''' |
| 741 | * ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky]]'': "'''I HAVE FOUND YOU AT LAST! THE DEFILERS WHO ARE CAUSING... THE DISTORTION OF SPACE!'''" |
| 742 | * While damn near all capital ships in ''VideoGame/SinsOfASolarEmpire'' are hammy special mention goes to the Vulkuras Desolater... because... well... just listen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry8jbwtAWoM to this]]... thats just what he says when he spawns... |
| 743 | * The Beast of ''VideoGame/HomeworldCataclysm'': |
| 744 | -->"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSOScp3dLDs&t=308s We liiive.]]" |
| 745 | * ''Franchise/StarFox'': All of Star Wolf introduces themselves as different cuts of ham. First, Wolf (standard Large Ham) with the {{memetic|Mutation}} "Can't let you do that, '''Star Fox!!'''", then Leon (ColdHam) with "Andross has ordered us to take you down.", then Pigma ({{Jerkass}} Ham) with "Peppy! Long time no see!", and finally Andrew (FamilyHonor Ham) with "Andross' enemy is MY enemy." |
| 746 | * ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'': '''Villians are no match for Pyrrhon!''' |
| 747 | ** Hades' first appearance, in which he RIPS THE CREDITS OFF THE SCREEN, and introduces himself with "[[IronicEcho sorry to keep YOU waiting!]]", then proceeds to refer to you as "Pitty-Pat". Really, any time he speaks could qualify. "Good morning, do-gooders!" and "Paluteeeeenaaaa! Oh, pretty Paluteeenaaa! Can you hear me?" are particularly wonderful examples. |
| 748 | * Approach any named character in any of the [[VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi many]] ''[[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Warriors]]'' [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors series]] [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriorsGundam of]] [[VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarKensRage games]] and prepare to be greeted by ham. Only natural, after all--all these games take place in their own WorldOfHam. Even the [[EliteMook generic officers]] will greet you with boasts and threats, ranging from the basic to the overblown, neatly underscoring that there is ''nothing'' understated about Koei's HackAndSlash mainstays. It fall short of PreAssKickingOneLiner because in some instances they're not expected to live long enough to ''finish'' their lines. |
| 749 | * Murray's introduction in ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'' consists of him ''bellyflopping through a glass ceiling''. |
| 750 | -->THUUUUNDER FLOOOP!! |
| 751 | * In ''VideoGame/YuGiOhCapsuleMonsterColiseum'', Marik's entrance is loud, evil, and hilariously over-the-top. |
| 752 | -->'''Marik:''' Ah, ''there'' you are, Pharaoh! Are you ready to lose ''everything'' you hold dear? |
| 753 | * [[VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft Being reduced to a card]] did nothing to cut Lord Jaraxxus' ham down. |
| 754 | -->''[[IAmYourOpponent You face JARAXXUS]]! EREDAR LORD of the BURNING LEGION!'' |
| 755 | ** Joining him in terms of hammy 'replace your hero' characters is Ragnaros when called up from Majordomo Executus' battlecry. |
| 756 | -->''TOO SOON! You have awakened me TOO SOON, Executus!'' |
| 757 | * Not just limiting the ham to World of Warcraft, Blizzard loves this trope--in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', some characters will use their selection call to ham it up to the moon. [[BigGood Reinhardt]] especially loves to do this. |
| 758 | -->'''Reinhardt:''' Don't worry my friends, '''''I!''''' '''AM YOUR SHIELD!''' |
| 759 | ** Upon being [[StatusBuff nanoboosted]] by Ana, every character (except Ana) will yell the phrase "I AM UNSTOPPABLE!" (or some variation thereof.) |
| 760 | * ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' has the Dragon Knight, who presumably relishes just being able to speak during his release from that statue. (Sadly now replaced by the voiceover of his much-less-hammy wife.) |
| 761 | -->''LET YOUR ENEMIES '''BURRRNNN'''!'' |
| 762 | * ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'' gives us the Skeleton King, who's first words to the PlayerCharacter are "You dare to bring the warmth of life into my tomb?!" |
| 763 | * [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Tiesel Bonne]] by this point in ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' has already established himself to have as much ham as an [[Film/StreetFighter M. Bison on rye]], but before attempting to blow The Flutter out of the sky he feels the need to not only laugh maniacally, but to [[https://youtu.be/2iSHdAbywLA?t=1m21s broadcast his laughter over the P.A. so Mega Man and Roll know what's coming.]] |
| 764 | * [[PsychopathicManchild Mister]] [[NoIndoorVoice Torgue]] of the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' franchise first introduces himself properly in the "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage" DLC by [[DoNotAdjustYourSet hijacking Patricia Tannis' mostly-scientific announcement of a new Vault discovery]]. |
| 765 | --> '''Mister Torgue:''' BOOOOOORING. You don't wanna hear about that, Vault Hunter! You wanna hear about ''loot!'' And ''pecs!'' AND ''EXPLOSIONS!'' I'm Torgue, and I'm here to ask you one question, and one question only: [[StuffBlowingUp EXPLOSIONS]]?\ |

| 767 | '''Mister Torgue:''' THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE! |
| 768 | * Tom Phan (AKA The Phantom) in ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' is one of the only two characters in the game to have full voice acting, and he makes damn good use of it: |
| 769 | -->'''Phantom:''' ''HA!'' You think ''yours'' is a real mustache?! |
| 770 | * Wario [[spoiler:once he becomes Wario Deluxe]] in ''VideoGame/WarioWareGold''. |
| 771 | -->'''[[spoiler: Wario Deluxe]]''': Oh! The money! The power! I can feel it—inside! Gurgling!...Building! It's...it's, uh...EXPLOSIVE! |

| 773 | * The Dung Defender in ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' opens his boss fight with a bellow. It sets the tone admirably. |
| 774 | -->'''BAAAAA HUNDAAAAAAA!''' |
| 775 | * Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa from ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'' starts his boss fight by screaming at the top of his lungs. |
| 776 | -->'''MY NAAAAMEE!!! IS GYOUBOU MASATAKA ONIWA!!! AS I BREATHE! YOU WILL NOT PASS THE CASTLE GATE! |
| 777 | * When Rubber Band from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing'' first appears onscreen on the stage of the Big Sho' Theater, it makes sure that everyone's attention would be ''solely'' on it. |
| 778 | -->"No, no, NO! The star of the show isn't Mario, you uncultured HACKS! The real superstar...is MEEE!" |
| 779 | * ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium'': The first words the player hears from the [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain fascist]] [[EliteMook bruiser]] Measurehead gives them an idea what to expect. In a [[ColdHam level]] yet [[NoIndoorVoice booming]] voice, he bluntly (and [[JerkassHasAPoint with some justification]]) informs [[PlayerCharacter the Detective]]: |
| 780 | --> "YOUR BODY BETRAYS YOUR DEGENERACY." |
| 781 | * ''Videogame/{{ULTRAKILL}}'''s got few voiced characters, but they make their presence ''very'' known from the get go. |
| 782 | ** Gabriel's true potential for Ham only gets shown in battle (and during his VillainousBreakdown), but even when he's being measured and self-contained he can't help but let some out. |
| 783 | --->'''Gabriel:''' Machine... Turn back, ''now''. The layers of this palace are '''not''' for your kind. Turn back, or you will be crossing the Will of God. |
| 784 | ** [[spoiler:Minos Prime]] has been holding it in for ''centuries'', and lets you know it as soon as you break him free of his prison. |
| 785 | --->'''[[spoiler:Minos]]:''' Aah, free at last... Oh, Gabriel, ''now'' dawns thy reckoning... ''AND THY GORE SHALL '''GLISTEN''' BEFORE THE TEMPLES OF MAN!'' |
| 786 | ** [[spoiler:Sisyphus Prime]] is a more measured ColdHam when he's not in battle, but you can feel the intensity in his words (and general being) from the get go. |
| 787 | --->'''[[spoiler:Sisyphus]]:''' A visitor? Indeed. I have slept long enough. The Kingdom of Heaven has long since forgotten my name, and I am '''eager''' to [[ImpliedDeathThreat make them remember]]. |
| 788 | * One can always tell when Tsuruno Yui is about to show up in ''VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory'', because she will nearly always shout about how the '[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mightiest Magical Girl]]' is coming. The resulting hyperactive and loud girl will then appear, speaking at the top of her lungs and speaking a mile a minute. |
| 789 | * Majima's iconic "KIRYU-CHAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!" in ''VideoGame/YakuzaKiwami''. It speaks for itself. |

| 797 | * In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', when her cover is blown, the BigBad [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]] admits to being the mastermind with an over-the-top [[FakeBrit impression]] of UsefulNotes/QueenVictoria. |
| 798 | -->'''[[spoiler:Junko:]]''' ''(wearing a crown and putting on an exaggerated British accent)'' [[RoyalWe We]] have been ''waiting!'' Waiting ''so very long'' for peasants like ''you'' to appear! |

| 809 | ''[sounds of glass breaking]''\ |
| 810 | ''[evil laughter]''\ |
| 811 | '''Giovanni:''' Greetings, Sweet Jazz Museum! We're the BANZAI BLASTERS! And we're here to ROB YOU BLIND!!! |

| 815 | ** "GREETERLINGS! THIS IS A GOOD-LOOKING BEARD YOU HAVE THERE, SIR!" -- [[spoiler:Kaldor Draigo]], who went just a ''bit'' more off the rocker than expected. |
| 816 | ** [[DynamicEntry *CRASH*]] "[[VocalDissonance Chapter Master!]] I, [[GloryHound Cato Sicarius]], would like to speak to you~!" -- Cato Sicarius, ruining Papa Smurf's day just a little more. |
| 817 | ** The dramatic appearance of [[spoiler:Horus]] in the April 1st joke episode, which followed him [[KillItWithFire roasting the Custodes to death with an explosion of fire]] for added emphasis: |
| 818 | --->'''[[spoiler:Horus]]:''' I FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO CRAWL MY WAY OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF HELL! [[spoiler:FATHER!]] MY UNDYING WISH TO DESTROY YOU ALLOWED MY RETURN! |
| 819 | ** "DID SOMEBODY SAY... '''BRAWN'''?" -- Santodes, proving in a few seconds that being [[ManInTheMachine interred into a Dreadnought]] is no excuse to stop being ''[[MachoCamp fabulous]]''. |
| 820 | * ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' shows in Nora's first scene how she'll be the standout of a WorldOfHam, greeting her awakening friend Ren with "Wake up, lazy bud!" before jumping all over the room singing "♪It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!♪". And that's before she rambles on and on with Ren not even changing his expression. |
| 821 | * ''WebAnimation/TheMostEpicStoryEverToldInAllOfHumanHistory'': [[BigBad Ridiculously Epic]] introduces himself to the series by dancing on a stage [[MadeOfExplodium next to some explosions]] and [[NoIndoorVoice singing loudly and aggressively]]. And he only [[LargeHam gets hammier from there]]. |
| 822 | * ''WebAnimation/StarterSquad'': Geodude. How does this Pokémon make his entrance? By SCREAMING A HEAVY METAL SONG AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS, that's how! [[https://youtu.be/ozWvFP-vXNY?t=428 It ''has'' to be seen to be believed.]] |

| 828 | ** O'Malley gets a few, such as his WhamLine that closes season 1 ([[EvilSoundsDeep "My name is O'Malley"]]), his EvilLaugh when shown in Caboose's head, and the first time he manifests possessing Doc: " If I ever meet him, I'm taking his eyes as souvenirs!" |

| 958 | ** While it's not his first line in the series (by far), GIR's "GUESS WHO MADE WAFFLES?!" in Zim Eats Waffles qualifies. |
| 959 | ** After 13 years of hiding, Zim finally does this in the television film ''[[WesternAnimation/InvaderZimEnterTheFlorpus Enter the Florpus]]'': '''"YES! IT IS I!!!"''' |
| 960 | * [[WorldOfHam Almost everybody]] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' has hammy first lines, but the Music Meister raises the bar high by introducing himself with a [[VillainSong musical number]]. |
| 961 | * ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': "[[MrExposition Long ago in a distant land]], I, [[LargeHam Aku]], the [[BigBad Shapeshifting Master of Darkness]], unleashed an '''UNSPEAKABLE EVIL'''! BUT, a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I '''[[{{Narm}} TWOAH]]''' open a portal in time, and flung him into TheFuture, where [[EvilOverlord my evil is]] '''[[EvilOverlord LAW]]'''! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo [[BadFuture the future that is]] '''AH-KU'''." |
| 962 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' |
| 963 | ** "Grand Galactic Inquisitor" is 12 feet tall and shines what amounts to floodlights from his Eye. His voice is so powerful, his voice can be felt "in [your] ''chonies''". However, his incoming line is "'''IGNORE ME!!!!!'''" |
| 964 | ** [[BigBad The Monarch]] and [[DarkIsNotEvil Dr. Orpheus]] also have been known to make grand entrances. Most of Orpheus's early dialogue was underscored with ''trumpet fanfare''. |
| 965 | ** "WHO WANTS PIZZA ROOOOLLLSSSS?" |
| 966 | * ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': |
| 967 | ** Creator/MarkHamill's first appearance as the Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' set the tone for his whole hammy run as the character by opening with his operatic rendition of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veju4PxhuGc "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells."]] |
| 968 | ** Then there's his entrance in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'', where he [[ItMakesSenseInContext shoots up a wall of singing theme-park robots with a tommy gun]]. |
| 969 | --->'''Joker:''' I ''hate'' that song. |
| 970 | ** And his appearance in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' as the [[WildCard unsolicited]] final member of Luthor's gang: |
| 971 | --->'''Solomon Grundy:''' [[InadvertentEntranceCue [Luthor,] You're crazy.]]\ |
| 972 | '''Joker:''' And what's wrong with that? It's done wonders for me! |
| 973 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}'': After being taken inside a mysterious mansion, Chuck starts gushing over [[CoolCar a collection of antique stretch limousines]] when a voice screams, "THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE!" Suddenly, pyrotechnics light up a path to a throne as a legion of bodyguards flip into formation, a glam metal theme starts playing and a mysterious figure decked out in jewelry, sports wear and killer shades rises from the floor. The sequence then ends with the mystery man having a fur coat thrown onto him by his second-in command and a single, echoing "HEY!". Ladies and gentlemen, you have just met the Duke of Detroit. |
| 974 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': |
| 975 | ** The titular character always yells something akin to "Hello, friends/buddies/pals!" while entering the scene in extravagant ways like floating down from the sky with an umbrella, crashing a kick-scooter into the couch or suddenly popping out of a conveniently placed box. |
| 976 | ** In the French dub, Olaf the penguin always yells something which translates to "Bow down before your emperor!" whenever he enters the scene. Nobody ever obeys this, and in some cases Mr. Cat even goes as far as beating him up. |
| 977 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': |
| 978 | ** From the very first episode: A gasp. A gasp that lasts four seconds, lifts the gasping pony in the air, and then... she zips off screen. This is one of the longest delayed Incoming Hams, since she doesn't reappear until near the end of the episode -- where we learn that this is Pinkie Pie, who invited the ''entire town'' over to the home of the NaiveNewcomer just to throw her a surprise welcome party. She only gets crazier from then on... |
| 979 | ** [[RealityWarper Discord]] announces his presence via a silkily taunting, teasing disembodied voice, but doesn't actually appear, so it's not an example. When he shows himself in person with {{evil laugh}}ter and lightning in the background [[spoiler:after disappearing all the main cast's horns and wings]], ''then'' he gets hammy. |
| 980 | --->'''Discord:''' You should see the looks on your faces! PRICELESS! |
| 981 | ** From much earlier, Nightmare Moon's entrance in "The Mare in the Moon". |
| 982 | ** Princess Luna's entrance from "Luna Eclipsed". |
| 983 | ** "Come one, come all! Come and witness the a''ma''zing magic of the ''[[TrrrillingRrrs Grrreat]]'' and ''Powerful '''[[ThirdPersonPerson TRRRIXIE]]'''''!" Bonus points for making her first appearance in a puff of smoke and sparks while her signature fanfare plays in the background. |
| 984 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'': Ren and Stimpy has "POWDERED TOAST MAAAAAAANNN!!" |
| 985 | * The [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Warner Bros.]] cartoon "The Mouse That Jack Built" has the cast of ''The Jack Benny Show'' giving voice to their [[InkSuitActor cartoon likenesses as mice]], including Don Wilson who thinks he's doing a commercial. When Jack tells him it's a movie, Don suddenly goes into Shakespeare before Jack dismisses him. |
| 986 | * ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future does this pretty much every time he speaks. |
| 987 | * From ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'', the first thing that usually comes out of Beavis' mouth whenever he goes into Cornholio mode is to declare "I AM CORNHOLIO! I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!" or "ARE YOU THREATENING ME?". |
| 988 | * ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PysteqOXj-Q "IT'S ME, WANDER!"]] |
| 989 | * ''Franchise/Ben10'': |
| 990 | ** This is how Ben introduces himself when he transforms, once ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'' begins that is, by screaming the aliens name that he picks. Sometimes subverted when he transforms into the wrong alien. |
| 991 | ** The biggest IncomingHam of the series though is Rath, who is a veritable buffet of every Ham there is to be had. He manages to outham every single character with his introductory name alone. |
| 992 | * ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': |
| 993 | ** GOOOOOOOOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY! This is the lovely [[FunPersonified Sardonyx]], coming to you a-LIVE from the soon-to-be-former Communication Hub! |
| 994 | ** And more recently we have [[spoiler:Smoky Quartz, a fusion of Steven and Amethyst, whose ''very first words'' upon coming into existence are "WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!"]] |
| 995 | * ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'': Lightning, thunderclaps, and chords from a pipe organ are Prime Evil's trademarks. |
| 996 | * [[Creator/TimCurry Finagle the Agent]] of ''Daisy-Head Mayzie'' makes his entrance by taking the titular moniker being chanted by the crowd of children he's standing behind and giving it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uATnnUsUJ9Y one good, long wringing]] himself before starting his [[IAmSong own]] [[VillainSong number]]. |
| 997 | * ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': |
| 998 | ** '''''[[TitleScream "READY! JET! GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"]]''''' |
| 999 | ** "Everybody in their place? Let's go into outer '''SPAAAAAAAACE!'''" |
| 1000 | ** "In the quiet, I hear the stars, calling to me from on '''''HIGGHHHHHHHH!!!'''''" |
| 1001 | ** The Milky Way song is just dripping with this trope. Listen to it for yourself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDXNRJtRK0 here]]. |
| 1002 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|2017}}'' (2017): |
| 1003 | ** The second episode begins with a bait-and-switch initiation video for Glomgold Industries starting with Glomgold kicking down a section of wall, boasting about his wealth and belting out the appropriate slogans, before personally entering the room the video's playing in, cheering his own name. |
| 1004 | ** Overtly modern-day tech billionaire-in-the-making Mark Beaks walks through a hallway with his eyes on his mobile phone, barely recognizes that he's being recognized with a soft "Yup," then barges into the room where Scrooge and Glomgold are locked in a StaringContest. Beaks changes gears to loudly greeting the "old guys", rattling off his position, project, and a string of TechnoBabble, and with a claim he's about to take them to "the future", he uses his phone to hijack their music player and put on a ''dubstep remix'' of the bagpipe music they were listening to. |
| 1005 | * Season 7 of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' has a PoorlyDisguisedPilot episode that features the introduction of Clone Force 99 -- aka, the Bad Batch. Their ship, the ''Havoc Marauder'', [[ComingInHot comes in for a rough (yet successful) landing]], followed by Wrecker (the BoisterousBruiser of the group) shouting "THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED!" |
| 1006 | ** When they're reintroduced in the pilot of [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch their own series]], they're rolling a boulder over a bunch of battle droids and following behind while shooting more droids -- and Wrecker (yes, him again) shouts "MAKE A HOLE!" |
| 1007 | [[/folder]] |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 | [[folder:Real Life]] |
| 1010 | * Former New Zealand cricket player Danny Morrison serves as a commentator for the IPL. His catchphrase when he's commentating a game being played in Pune (home of the Pune Warriors India)? "'''''PUNEEEEE!!! NAMASTE!!!'''''" |
| 1011 | %%* Steve Ballmer - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I14b-C67EXY what can we say?]] |
