Truly, your wife would be pleased. However, I have a final trump your side cannot counter: a force-field which I have activated. It encases this entire floor, above it, below it, and on all sides. Your allies cannot penetrate it. Nor can you. But there is a way in."
Batman: "What is it?"
Kobra: "We have always known it would come down to this. The final battle, the Ragnarok. If I am your Midgard Serpent, and you are my Thor, then we must fight. However, no one has yet prophecied which of us will be slain, and which be slayer." - Hellsister Trilogy: Darkseid is fond of polysyllabic verbiage and has no concept of indoor voice. Nemesis, the Kryptonian/Zeroxian hybrid whom Darkseid has raised, takes after his father and is prone to histrionics and speaking in all caps.Darkseid: "I have had three prior sons, boy. Two of my body, one of my charge. But you, my fourth son...you have had advantages your forebears never knew. I left their upbringing to others. I was busy. You, I have tended to with all my attention. With all my knowledge. Do you know why, boy?"
Nemesis: "Because I am the greatest of the four. Because I am the one who will break our enemies like pottery shards. Because I will avenge you, my father. Avenge you, and...my mother."
Darkseid: "Just so. Do you... remember who undid my plans, a thousand years ago, boy? And who, not so long ago... undid your mother?"
Nemesis: (whispering) "The Supergirl."
Darkseid: "Just so. It will be some years before you are of age, boy. It will be some years before we can reveal ourselves. The United Planets, the Guardians of the Universe, they must be kept... unknowing. Timing is all-important, boy. Any general can tell you that. Timing is everything."
Nemesis: "Do you really believe she will come back?"
Darkseid: "She will, boy. They will summon her."

Nemesis: "I will avenge my mother's death. I will avenge your honor. I will make her pay for blocking the True Path. I WILL DESTROY THE SUPERGIRL."
Darkseid: "And so you shall, my boy. And so, one day, you shall." - A Force of Four: Mars is a very pompous and verbose War God who loves histrionics.Power Girl: "Aren't you tied to Earth? If you destroy it, how will you survive?"
Mars: "Mars is not tied to Earth. Mars is tied to war. And what better war than that of vast empires within the second Heaven? Where billions may die, billions more be enslaved, and the bloodflow which results nourishes my power with every drop. No. Earth is unnecessary. A canker in my being. When it is destroyed, only my pain will vanish. But it will not be destroyed yet." - Parodied in Shazam! fanfiction Here There Be Monsters. The villain known as Acrobat is not good at making overdramatic speeches and he lacks the power to back his threats, so nobody takes him seriously.The Acrobat: "I'll kill you. I'm man enough, madman enough, to kill you all! Disc or no disc, I've got the power of ten men when the moon is out, and I ought to have enough strength here to do you all in!"[...] I'll destroy you all! One by one, I'll tear your heads off and make lamps out of them! I'll use your bodies for baseball equipment! I'll–"

- In Kira Is Justice, Fiona's few lines of this is this and Creepy Monotone, indicated by her bold speak.

- Mugal in the Fan Film Godzilla vs. the Kaiju Killer."I SAID PICK IT UP!"
- How Friendship Accidentally Saved Magical Britain: The shard of Tom Riddle bound to the Diary Horcrux often goes on pages-long rants in the Diary about how stupid "Forge" is, complete with foul language and novel insults that the Weasley twins can't help but record for later use. This lecturing/ranting tendency continues once Tom exits the Diary and becomes a fully human student, where he gets on his metaphorical soapbox in the Slytherin common room and rants about things like the student body's disdain for divination.Diary-Tom: "Fuckwitted, imbecilic bastards – both of you! I cannot believe you two boneheads deluded yourself into thinking that this was a good idea. I swear to Morgana, if you pull anything like this again, I will show you the true meaning of…"

"YOU ARE TOO OLD AND YOUR ALZHEIMERS IS DANGEROUS! YOU MUST RETRY OR VOLDEMORT WILL KILL YOUR STUDENTS!"
- The Home We Built Together: When Hiccup and Astrid trained the arena dragons to pretend to fight them, the Hideous Zippleback takes the Ham Award for Overacting.The two-headed dragon was sparring with the twins – it'd seemed to have taken an interest in the Thorstons and always gravitated to "fighting" them. The two heads playfully dodged the swinging weapons, occasionally firing off a small blast for theatrics. The left head didn't dodge fast enough, or maybe it'd let itself be smacked on purpose. As Tuffnut's mace smashed into it, the head flopped to the ground, its tongue sticking out as if it had croaked over dead from that one blow. The right head looked down at its twin then without hesitation flopped onto the floor without so much as a threat, its forked tongue dangling out of its gassy mouth.
- Invader Zim: A Bad Thing Never Ends: The Announcer is this, with his melodramatic speaking patterns, his constant use of holographic special effects to highlight whatever point he's trying to make, and his habit of narrating things.
- Kingdom Hearts: The Antipode:

- In the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time parody Group of Weirdos turns the Barinade into one of these. Like the above, it is both funny and awesome. Recent chapters have added a second ham in the form of Morpha, though he's more of a Small Ham as he merely uses exclamation points instead of periods, whereas Barinade talks LIKE BRIAN BLESSED!!!
- The narrator from this novelisation of The Wind Waker can come across as this. He often uses Onomatopoeia to illustrate sounds and, when a character screams,it often goes on down the page for several lines.
- Link can also come across as one, due to his aforementioned page-dragging screaming, but he also gets individual lines that make him this, such as this one when he is falling through an illusionary mine and crashing into support beams on the way down:
Link: OW! IT FEELS LIKE MY WHOLE BODY HAS BEEN USED AS A BATTERING RAM!
- Devil's Diary: Not even while writing his private thoughts Magneto can refrain himself of being overly dramatic. Or writing on all caps.I curse myself as a barbarian. I did the right thing, God knows, but I damn myself for the act.
THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE (scratch out words).
I would to G-d sometimes that I had another path to walk.
Irrelevant. This is my part to play. MUST BE STRONG. Like the iron.
I bend the iron to my will.
It is only by strength that I resist the temptation to bend.
- In Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race, Centaur Man was disguised as a wrestling champion, The Centaur, for quite a while. He still retains that attitude.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- Contraptionology!: The Nightmare makes ponies rave about making mundane things last FOREVER!, Doctor von Danger is greatly fond of dramatic announcements and hires Derpy to follow him around with a thundercloud to give his words "the emphasis they require", and ponies under the influence of convolvement become prone to grandstanding, rambling rants about their genius and the ways in which they will crush the fools who stand in their way.

- The Twilight Child: Princess Luna has more or less gotten the hang of modern Equestrian (except when around Cadence), so her moments of true ham are far and few between. Then she finds her dog Cerberus has gone missing. She rushes back to Canterlot and bursts into the throne room (wearing fuzzy slippers, since it gets chilly near the gates of Tartarus) and declares:Princess Luna: "WOE! OH LAMENTATIONS! SISTER, I BRING DIRE NEWS! THE GATES OF TARTARUS STAND UNGUARDED, AND ALL MANNER OF EVIL THREATENS TO LOOSE ITSELF UPON THE WORLD!"

- In Chrysalis Visits The Hague, Chrysalis likes to lay it on thick when complaining or raging – her lawyer Estermann suspects that she herself is enjoying the theatrics.
- Always Visible: Pharqraut, friend of Galbraith. He himself appears in fact only in three chapters, but the inspector remembered his funny phrases for a long time, even when he was in London.
- Guys Being Dudes: Arlo's lines while taking over Pokestops are...grandiose, to say the least, and he accentuates them with overblown pretentious gestures. He apparently wrote them shortly after his breakup with Candela, which might explain some of it.
- Larry Bellowich the Loudred (naturally) of Pokéumans. It only makes sense to make him the tournament announcer, where he literally talks in all caps.
- From Pokemon Opal And Garnet, we have Clopin, who is just as much of a ham as his namesake. This quote says it all:Clopin: It means that WE HAVE BUSINESS! That's right, païkan, BUSINESS IS BOOMING AND WE'RE STARTING TO GET WALKERS! IF ANYONE ELSE IS INTERESTED PLEASE JOIN US IN THE FIGHT FOR CANCER! IT WILL BE TRULY AMAZING! HAVE FUN!
- Butterfree in Box of Danger's Pokémon The Abridged Series. Also counts as Memetic Badass.

- Pretty Cure Hollywood Stars has Cure Western. She's particularly hammy in episode 1 when she beats her own high score on the arcade version of the Atari VCS gorefest The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, episode 7 when she yells at Nick that he'll soon be laughing on the other side of his face, episode 9 when she delivers a Sophisticated as Hell theory on how a modern-day Shakespearean play could be possible, and episode 12, where she lets out an Evil Laugh before letting Nick know she sent a homing bullet toward him.
- Leif's Badass Boast in soulless shell (Redwall) is delivered IN ALL CAPS in a way which makes it look like an example of overacting, though it probably wasn't meant to (unless it actually is a Troll Fic).

- Raye/Sailor Mars.
- In Must Love Ned Flanders, Naomi is a huge ham, to the point of going overseas due to one bad day.
- Astorath in Sonic X: Dark Chaos pretty much either yells or dramatically enunciates everything he says. Considering the fact he's an expy of the Heavy from Team Fortress 2, it's not entirely out of place.
- Maledict loses his cool and goes into full scenery-chewing mode during his climactic duel with Jesus in Episode 75. And that's before the author said that his voice is similar to William Dafoe."I am your god, you half-formed chimp! When you swung from trees, I ruled TIME and SPACE!"
- Allysion is so hammy she could've starred in every single Cecil B. DeMille biblical epic. Everything she says is either a flowery Bible quote, a dramatic threat, or both.

YOU SHALL KNOW TERROR WITHOUT END... YOU SHALL BE TORN ASUNDER FROM EVERY ATOM, AND YOURS SHALL BE THE CRIES OF TORMENT AND HORROR!"
- Maledict loses his cool and goes into full scenery-chewing mode during his climactic duel with Jesus in Episode 75. And that's before the author said that his voice is similar to William Dafoe.
- Zerael in Tengen Toppa Gurren Solvernia. One reviewer noticed that he manage to out-ham the entire TTGL canon cast!

- Alien Cody in Candy for Your Thoughts?, the author said that he would have the same voice as Vegeta.
- Lord Doom was intentionally designed by Taylor to be over-the-top, with the expectation that the PRT wouldn't come down quite as hard on a villain who's amusing. When that doesn't pan out, she keeps going anyway because it's fun.LORD DOOM WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT HIS NAME IS SPELLED WITH ALL CAPS.
