Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': When more than one LargeHam duke it out for who wins in ChewingTheScenery to ground bits.
2* '''Straight''': {{Large Ham}}s Bob and Charlie do over-the-top performance one after another.
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** As with the above until [[WorldOfHam Alice, Damon, Edwin, Francis, and Gregory]] came along to spice up the scenery.
5** Alternatively, each of the above's families came along to do some more of what was required complete with MilkingTheGiantCow.
6** An entire city or planet full of them came along to hog everything, '''EVERYTHING'''!
7** The whole universe including angels and demons, aliens and robots, even meteors, stars and others out there are hams that made a war as to who is the hammiest one of them all.
8** WorldOfHam
9* '''Downplayed''':
10** Bob and Charlie try to outham the other for a brief period, but it is not pivotal to the scene.
11** Their volume is not elevated much above normal.
12* '''Justified''':
13** They're actors interpreting characters in a Shakespearean-esque play.
14** They both have huge egos and can only express themselves with large amounts of ham.
15** Bob and Charlie are having their contest over a long distance, and can't hear each other very well otherwise.
16** They're both extremely angry and expressing it by yelling at each other.
17* '''Inverted''': [[TheStoic Bob and Charlie]] duke it out with TranquilFury, seeing who can express the least amount of emotion or under-act the most.
18* '''Subverted''': Only Bob is the LargeHam.
19* '''Double Subverted''': Until Charlie came along to the scene.
20* '''Parodied''': Bob and Charlie challenge each other to perform increasingly insane stunts, trash-talking each other as they do so.
21* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob was the only LargeHam around, then came Charlie in the same scene but was killed or was yanked by another person later on or vice-versa until Alice, Damon and Francis came along.
22* '''Averted''':
23** Nobody is a LargeHam at all.
24** There is no scene with more than one LargeHam.
25* '''Enforced''':
26** Bob and Charlie's actors have become popular for being large hams; the writers write a scene in a new episode where they meet and have reason to ham, because the audience will love it.
27** The movie sucks, and the actors decided to [[HamAndCheese enjoy themselves]].
28* '''Lampshaded''': "This scene can no longer hold this any longer".
29* '''Invoked''': Bob is bored out of his skull, and decides to have a shouting match with Charlie.
30* '''Exploited''': A character triggers an argument between two boisterous people to create a cover while they sneak off.
31* '''Defied''': Bob and Charlie have their voiceboxes and lungs modified to prevent them from shouting.
32* '''Discussed''': "I can't tell if watching two overly dramatic actors interacting is boring or interesting."
33* '''Conversed''': "Anytime you have two guys acting over-the-top in the same room, you can expect them to try and outdo each other."
34* '''Deconstructed''':
35** Bob and Charlie strain their vocal cords yelling at each other.
36** Bob and Charlie do this due to being crazed maniacs...and this is a way to display their craziness to each other before they fight.
37* '''Reconstructed''': Bob and Charlie get speech therapy and take medicine to minimize the effect of the yelling on their vocal cords.
