ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet. [[LargeHam Hams]], on the other hand...

----
* If you thought ''LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}}'' was a large ham, does his best friend and possibly BigBrotherMentor ''LetsPlay/ProtonJon'' have one that reduces Chugga, [[LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun Tim]], and his other friends into a pile of [[{{Corpsing}} laughter]]. Together with [[LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys them]] or other hammy friends as co-comentators in his live streams can it evolve into a WorldOfHam. Even his [[LetsPlay/LucahJin wife]] is a LargeHam.
* Franky from WebVideo/HeroHouse is a strong example, dominating every scene he enters.
* Gaylord Steambath, the [[Main/BigBad antagonistic]], [[Main/ForTheEvulz sociopathic]] [[{{Main/Griefer}} griefer]] server operator from [[{{Webanimation/Minecraft The Noob Adventures}} Minecraft The N00b Adventures]], who constantly alternates between a theatrical, grandiose shout and a creepy, low and somewhat flamboyant tone with random pauses and who, on a slight off note, [[Main/AmbiguouslyGay may or may not be gay]], is quite a straight example of this trope. For further explanation, read the following quotes (but be wary of the '''major spoilers''' on the second one):
-->'''Gaylord:''' They call me Gaylord Steambath... I am the ''operator'' of this server. But... ''you'' may refer to me as... [[Main/AGodAmI god...]]
-->'''Gaylord:''' Fine! You win this battle! But heed my words, and heed them well, inferiors! You may think removing my powers will save you from grief, but there are hundreds, ''thousands'' more just like me! Enjoy your moment of serendipity, for I, '''Gaylord Steambath, Eater of Worlds, shall-'''
-->[[spoiler:'''Lord Server:''' [[Main/ShutUpHannibal Uhuh, yeah, that's nice, bye!]]]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Gaylord Steambath has been banned.''']]
* The let's player ''LetsPlay/JohneAwesome'' does his best to make his let's plays a way to cheer you up as much as possible. Even when ''depressed'' himself!
* ''' HELLO MY LOYAL SUBSCRIBERS! THIS IS [[LetsPlay/PhantomSavage PHANTOMSAVAGE]] AND WELCOME BACK TO ''' (insert LP here)
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'':
** Yami/Pharaoh certainly qualifies.
--->"I can do anything I want, because I'm voiced by [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment DAN GREEN]]!"
--->"'''ATTENTION DUELISTS! MY HAIR HAS BECOME AN INTERNET PHENOMENON!'''"
** And then we have Marik.
--->"Foolish fools! There are no women in Yu-Gi-Oh! There are only extremely girly men! And I am the most girly of them all!"
* [[LetsPlay/JackSepticEye *WHA-PSH* TOP O' THE MORNING TO YA, LADDIES! ]]
* ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'':
** Nathan Fillion puts the "ham" in Captain Hammer. But he's playing a smarmy, self-absorbed superhero caricature--it would be ''impossible'' to portray the character any other way. Fillion remarked that it was the only time in his career a director had to tell him to be ''more'' of a ham.
---> '''Captain Hammer''' (singing while giving Dr. Horrible the finger): "Everyone's a hero in their ''WAAAAAAAY''?!?"
** Doctor Horrible himself becomes Doctor ''Ham''ible in the last act, during the song "Slipping", and Act II - ''Brand New Day'' is a delicious slice of ham.
* ''WebVideo/TheTimeGuys'' uses this for its fair share of characters, most notably Christopher Columbus, [[{{Determinator}} Caveman in Episode III]], and Alexander the Great [[spoiler: at Knocken]].
* Creator/RoosterTeeth is full of people enjoying themselves too much:
** All of the members of ''Creator/AchievementHunter''' could qualify in one way or another.
*** Geoff can get very shouty when things don't go his way, and when he becomes the M.C in contests, there's even less limits.
*** Ray for his iconic "LLLLLLLLLET'S PLAY!" OnceAnEpisode.
*** Whenever he assumes his [[TokenEvilTeammate Mad King persona]], Ryan takes a hold of every single piece of pork, and refuses to let go. Taken to even more [[UpToEleven extreme levels]] for his appearance in ''WebAnimation/XRayAndVav''.
*** But the crown has to go to Michael. Here's why:
-->"'''''GAVIN, YOU FUCKING DUMB SHIT!! I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR HAND!!'''''"
** ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' has in its main characters moron Caboose, CampGay moron Donut, and angry Southern moron Sarge, all giving excuses for the actors to go crazy. On the bad guys there's O'Malley, a CardCarryingVillain AI who loves to do an EvilLaugh ("Now be careful, mustn't give away our position with maniacal laughter!"; "Even though what I want is something frightening! WHAT I WANT is something PURE EVIL, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"); MeanBrit Wyoming ("I don't give a DAMN about you and your committee!"); Temple, a guy who got full of himself while seeking revenge; and Genkins, a TricksterGod who apparently forgot how to be subtle and low-key ("I could create an entire race of beings with butts for faces... and ''faces for butts''! Ah! '''Magnificent'''!"). And side characters include MadDoctor \ MadScientist [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr0UD0p4jN8 Dr. Grey]] and [[MissionControlIsOffItsMeds wacky and unhelpful]] MissionControl VIC, "5-5-5, V-I-C-K!".
** ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has two standout GenkiGirl cases, title character Ruby Rose (played by one of the Achievement Hunters, Lindsay Jones, in a a nasal voice that just helps the ham) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuLBRigqX5A Nora Valkyrie]]. Volume 6 introduces [[GrumpyOldMan grumpy old lady]] Caroline Cordovin, [[TheNapoleon who compensates her small size]] by being highly aggressive, haughty and condescending - and when the heroes steal an airship from her, Cordo [[DisproportionateRetribution tries to take them down with an]] HumongousMecha while angrily spouting hammy threats.
** ''Webanimation/CampCamp'' is just evenly split between a WorldOfSnark and a WorldOfHam, in that whoever isn't a cruel snarker is over-the-top quirky, giving an excuse for the actors to employ weird voices and have loads of fun. A standout is Preston, who has the excuse of being an aspiring writer\actor and yells so much [[http://geordenwhitman.tumblr.com/post/164600189851/ivana-fox-the-reason-why-preston-is-so-loud-is-bc his original VA lost his voice once after a recording session]].
* Strong Bad from ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''. In VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople, when [[spoiler: Dadgeresque, AKA Senor Cardgage, "died"]], and Dangeresque, AKA Strong Bad, sounded like his head was about to blow off his body. This was just one of his many instances of hamminess, however.
-->'''Strong Bad''': "Well, I heard a techno song one time that went like, 'Doom doom doom doom', and then this other part came in and it was like, 'Dudalado! Dudalado! Dudalado! Dudalado!' And there's always this high-pitched noise, you know, like a siren that's like, 'DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!! DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!!!' And then there's the obligatory old movie quote from some sci-fi movie, it's like, 'The system is down! DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!!! DOO-DA-DA-DIDDLE!!!!'"
-->'''Strong Bad''': "WHY? WHY DO MY THIRTY-YEAR-OLD ELECTRONICS KEEP BREAKING ON ME???"
** '''''TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!'''''
*** And the Trogdor comes in the '''''NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!'''''
* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'':
** Liam Black is this mixed with {{Narm}}. [[WordOfGod His handler]] stated this was very intentional (though they did [[OldShame regret it in hindsight.]])
---> "Oh and a girl with silky brown hair and a '''FUCKING LASER'''!"
---> "Then the person threatening James... '''IS YOU!''"
** Jimmy Brennan of v4 is also particularly hammy, alongside [[ClusterFBomb having a ridiculously huge potty mouth]].
** [[WordOfGod According to her handler]], Katie Tanaka of ''Virtua'' is designed to be this sort of character. While it does get played down over time, it's still there.
* The ''WebVideo/Lonelygirl15'' recurring villain Ted [=McKinley=] (aka [[FanNickname PharmaGuy]]), especially in his first appearance.
* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' alternates between somewhat constrained and really exaggerated UnstoppableRage (particularly during rants, and sometimes even silent, like his Kaiju impersonation during the Godzilla video).
--> "I'm the LORD of the HARVEST!"
--> '''BRING IT DOWN, BRING IT DOWN!"'''
* While on the subject of web reviewers, [[WorldOfHam just about anyone on]] ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' qualifies.
** Of course, there is WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic himself (pictured). But Creator/DougWalker's hamminess really shines as [[WebVideo/BumReviews Chester A. Bum.]]
*** "CAAAAAATTTT!!!"
*** Whenever he starts whining, like his extended run of screams at the beginning of his ''Avengers'' review.
*** In his review of ''Ponyo'' this becomes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbWpSklVzm4 literal ham]]
** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] can serve up the ham, especially as [[MadScientist Dr. Insano]] and [[Film/BattlefieldEarth Terl]] (already discussed [[LargeHam/{{Film}} in the original]]). [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] can be as passionate as his name suggests and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] has his moments too, [[CatchPhrase for HE is A MAN!]], and as of October 2012 Lewis also has [[HorrorHost Longbox of the Ham]].
*** Proving it's genetic, Linkara's dad as Whately in the ''Silent Hill: The Grinning Man'' review, in a wig that wouldn't look out of place in Spinal Tap, and it is glorious.
** Out of the women on the site, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's {{sidekick}} Nella is the one who revels in ham delightfully.
--> For Side-WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}! And {{geek}}ery! [Races away bearing a sword.]
** Elisa, as Dr. Tease and The Makeover Fairy, can hold her own too and even the Chick has a fair amount of moments.
*** To see Elisa really bringing home the ham, [[VampireVords ve don't need to search further than ze]] [[WebVideo/VampireReviews Maven of the Eventide]].
*** Speaking of vampires, WebVideo/ObscurusLupa already gets carried away in her videos and does hammy guest voice work for other reviewers. But her impression of Radu from ''{{Subspecies}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeRFdhL1Awk is so gloriously over the top]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Ptz-TzJ2w&list=PLzSaABvhwN1PSwfK2KBlQLqybyrkOFrVX Lupa opted to give Radu his own show!]]
*** "The Dark Nella Saga" shows that all of Team [=NChick=] can gleefully ham it up like crazy, though Nella and Elisa remain the champions.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_ZtqUqGS8o The Chick's review]] for ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' provides great ''silent'' hamming from Nella!
** While not a reviewer, Bhargav "Bargo" Dronamraju could very easily be the hammiest on the site.
---> "A sci-fi movie so terrible it makes my nipples TINGLE with FEAR! [...] [[BigYes YYYES!]] ''[[Film/BattlefieldEarth BATTLEFIELD EARRRRTH!!!]]''"
** Nowhere are they hammier, however, than during the MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover that is ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}''. [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] exemplifies this trope to an awesome degree. [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] also deserves special mention for an extremely silly scene with WebVideo/MarzGurl.
--> "Take comfort in my masculine arms!"
** They get it on again on ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''. Especially WebVideo/{{Phelous}} as [[Film/TheNeverEndingStory the Rockbiter]] and [[WebVideo/PawDugan Paw]] as [[Film/DungeonsAndDragons Profion]] (a character well discussed in the [[LargeHam/{{Film}} Film page]]).
** ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' continued along the same path, with special mention to antagonists Spoony\T̶e̶r̶l̶ [[WritingAroundTrademarks Turrell]], Rob\P̶a̶l̶p̶a̶t̶i̶n̶e̶ [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed The Executor]] and Doug[[Franchise/{{Superman}} Zod]].
** WebVideo/{{Phelous}} in general, especially when he starts growling his words.
** WebVideo/DiamandaHagan could easily give Nella a run for her money. Ham-off away!
** The UnCancelled Nostalgia Critic episodes include the two actors hired for ''WebVideo/DemoReel'', Malcolm and Rachel. They also ham up like there's no tomorrow, best case so far being in the ''Film/SonOfTheMask'' review, where they are the Devil and his daughter.
*** After Rachel left before an entire month of hammy Creator/NicolasCage movies, she was replaced by Tamara in NC's ''Film/TheWickerMan2006'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj_CRnwJTk8 review]], and quickly showed she was a great and hammy replacement. Even outside the show [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eotplSdWn4&list=PL0AQIMR-tpomHjCs4q1K4V0tLWTOYK7sI&index=68 Tamara is over-energetic and full of herself.]]
** WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows is no exception, especially his occasional dips into {{Angrish}} and [[SophisticatedAsHell short-lived lapses into Deep Critical Analysis.]]
--> "And then, the uncultured harlot was so overwhelmed, she attempted to consume her vichysoisse with a desert spoon! ''A-HWAH-HWAH-HWAH-HWAH!"''
*** The opening of his [[Music/{{Train}} "Hey Soul Sister"]], when he attempts to invoke TranquilFury. Especially when he briefly brings up the song "This is Why I'm Hot": "I haven't heard it in ''years,'' and that suits me ''fiiine!"''
** Webvideo/TheCinemaSnob is more contained than most other reviewers, indulges in ham in moments of shouting, smooth "snobby" voice, or impersonations (just see him [[https://youtu.be/Un-5YRzt8LU imitating Sylvester Stallone]]). Special mentions goes to when he either fake laughs or [[https://youtu.be/uBzIvr4OiEY angrily laughs]].
** Admiral Crackers of ''WebVideo/BradJonesDemoReel'' is larger than life in his mannerisms and dialog.
* Mille Chanteau of ''Literature/IlivaisX'' is the ''queen'' of ham. If she's in battle, it's all but guaranteed anything she says is an epic speech of some kind, and it's not limited to then either. Of course, there's also Seyne (that comes with being a [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Sanger Zonvolt]] {{Expy}} though), most of the [[ElementalPowers GEKICOM]] and [[CombiningMecha STRUQ]] members, hell, even BrokenBird [[ReiAyanamiExpy Iriana]] has her moments.
* From such web podcasts as ''Podcast/WithSpecialGuestLaurenLapkus'', James Adomian's oft-used Tom Leykis impression. James Adomian takes Tom Leykis' eccentric personality and dials it UpToEleven. What we have is a screaming, raving, self-aware misogynist who never lets anyone get a word in edgewise.
* Bottom of ''WebVideo/WormtoothNation'' hams it up in every scene. This is understandable since he is based on the character of the same name from ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''.
* [[Radio/TrueCapitalist "I'M A CAAAAAAAAPITALIIIIIIIIIST!!! AND I DESERVE. THE RESPECT. ACCORDED THAT GODDAMN TITLE I'VEBEENSAYINGTHATSINCE DAY WWWUUN!!!"]]
* ''WebVideo/ThereWillBeBrawl'' is a series that plays {{melodrama}} so straight that it's almost a parody, so this kind of acting is a requirement. [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]] and [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]] (played by Ham extraordinaire Kyle Hebert) deliver.
* "And now, a DramaticReading of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NmbljTGqCg a real break up letter from a real person...]]"
* [[http://baumanletters.ytmnd.com/ "THIS is TRUE LUNACY!"]]
* ''WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC'': [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]] (who's also a big fan of Willem *[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgLd26dxDRg DAFOE!]]*'s performance) and SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}. [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], to an extent... and there's Comicbook/GhostRider [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11EgDKxjOm0 doing an homage]] to [[Creator/NicolasCage the ham who portrayed him]].
* In ''Website/GaiaOnline'':
** Pretty much everything [[spoiler: Labtech X]] says.
** Then we have JOHNNY GAMBINO.
---> "[[EvilLaugh BWAHAHAHA!]]"
** Who could forget the Overseer?
---> "[[NakedPeopleAreFunny FEELS GOOD MAN!]]"
** Rigel and Mintaka are beginning to show hints of this as well.
---> "SOOOO FABULOUS!"
* Mugal in the FanFilm ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}} vs the Kaiju Killer''.
--> "I SAID PICK IT UP!"
* Nappa from WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged": "This is gonna be my BEST... DAY... EVER!"
** Of course, he was accompanied by Vegeta.
--> "I ''AM'' THE HYPE!!"
** Then there's Super Kami Guru.
--> "NAAAAAAIIIILLL!!! Stop making out with boyfriend. I can hear it from here!"
* LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} deserves mention as well.
--> "I GOT A '''[[VideoGame/AnUntitledStory HEART!]]'''"
--> "JUMP HEIGHT! '''UPGRADED!!!!'''"
* Butterfree in Box of Danger's ''WebVideo/PokemonTheAbridgedSeries''. Also counts as MemeticBadass.
* Raye/Sailor Mars in ''WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged''.
-->'''Raye/Sailor Mars:''' IT'S THE LAST TRAIN, ONE WAY TRACK TO HELL!
** Also, Zoycite, Queen Beryl, Mina/Sailor Venus, Molly, and just about every character that KrisRix plays other than Amy.
--->'''Mina/Sailor Venus:''' [[BigEntrance HELLO! I'm up here!]] [[ValleyGirl Look at, like, my flowing long locks! Aren't you excited? Guys, you don't look excited. You totally should be excited!]]
** Pretty much [[WorldOfHam everyone]] in Sailor Moon Abridged... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg but Amy]]. Well, except for in the {{Anime/Pokemon}} mash-up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOiG4nv1_ds episode.]]
--->'''Amy/Sailor Mercury:''' It's a change you cannot resist. [[SoundEffectBleep [BLEEP] ]]ALL YOU CREATIONISTS!
* Music/DoctorSteel goes through a ''lot'' of [[ChewingTheScenery scenery]]; consciously PlayedForLaughs.
* Creator/SeanMalstrom, as exhibited in [[http://malstrom.50webs.com/glossary.htm this blog piece]]:
-->"'''Malstrom'''- World-wide sex symbol to women. When a new article appears, his mailbox gets flooded by the ladies demanding passion from him. "A business article on video games? That is so hot!" they squeal. Each Malstrom article also gains him a million dollars from jet-sitting super secret investors. Malstrom is also prone to self-delusions. ("Hey," he says, "if you are going to have delusions, might as well go for the really satisfying ones!")"
* Many, ''many'' {{Dramatic Reading}}s, but Tropers/ManWithoutABody's epic readings of ''Literature/AtlantaNights'', ''Fanfic/MyInnerLife'', ''Fanfic/ThirtyHs'', and other classics of SoBadItsGood particularly come to mind.
* WebVideo/InternetPersonalityVangelus, reviewer of {{Transformers}} and Franchise/KamenRider toys alike. Likewise, his alter-ego ''TheMilkDaddy''.
--> "YOU'RE ABOUT A THREE MISSISSIPPI COUNT AWAY FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF A RAPE, BROTHER."
* Most of the cast of ''[[Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse The Golden Age]]''. Of course, the fact that it was entitled the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] was kind of your first clue. Not too subtle, UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks.
* If you thought the line "I will now enjoy my fruit snack." couldn't be said in a hammy way, you need to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu56cDhLxPM change your opinion right now.]]
* "[[CatchPhrase Hey]] [[OpeningNarration everybody]], [[OnceAnEpisode it]]'s {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}}!"
* Pipes! of the LetsPlay/FreelanceAstronauts. "Whenever the mic input volume meter jumps up into the red, I know I've told a good joke."
* These mad scientists in ''ComicBook/LenoreTheCuteLittleDeadGirl''. [[http://youtube/QNteJp2u1ng]]
* Video game music podcast ''Podcast/NitroGameInjection'' has Larry Oji. With him, EVERY episode is sponsored by ham.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ATLAHWorldwide James David Manning]].
* '''[[WebVideo/EpicMealTime EPIC MEAL TIME!]]''' It just wouldn't be EMT without ham. And bacon strips. And bacon strips. [[OverlyLongGag And bacon strips...]]
* ''WebVideo/StupidMarioBrothers'' has:
** Any role played by Richard (Mario)
** Wario ''is'' this trope in earlier seasons, and has become one again after season three where he was a [[spoiler:BigBad]].
** VideoGame/MaxPayne in his appearances.
* Ghost of Radio/TrueCapitalist Radio is a massive ham(bone) thanks to his HairTriggerTemper, infinite number of {{Berserk Button}}s and a large number of trolls calling in.
* Just about [[WorldOfHam ''everyone'']] gets in on this at some point in WebVideo/ShinyObjectsVideos.
* Rowdy C on WebVideo/TVTrash.
* Both Creator/{{Egoraptor}} and WebVideo/JonTron have a good amount of ham in their works, so quite naturally the WebVideo/GameGrumps can ham things up, for instance breaking into song at quite a few moments and interacting with Barry for the CaptionHumor.
** [[MemeticMutation "Fuck you!...]] ''[[MemeticMutation I AAAIIINNN'T HAVIN' THAT SHIT!"]]''
* Most Volus on ''Roleplay/CerberusDailyNews'' are this by default. But the standout case would have to be the duo of Jorgal Dwick and Terrorbyte. [[http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/valiant/forum/board/thread/?t=1139 example]]
* [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]] is a natural ham to begin with, so you can probably imagine how things get any time something excites him.
* '''"[[RidiculouslyCuteCritter I'M]] [[WebAnimation/BravestWarriors CATBUG]]!"'''
** His voice actor ''is'' 6 going on 7, after all.
* '''"[[WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory EPIC! RAP! BATTLESOFHISTORY!!!]]"'''
* Everyone who is cartoonified in ''WebVideo/TheCartoonMan'' saga.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/GhettoNN Daym Drops]], providing '''[[CatchPhrase SUPER OFFICIAL]]''' fast food reviews with even more ham than the food itself contains (which admittedly is not hard, since the food usually contains bacon, not ham). He once did a video in his normal voice, just to prove he actually has one.
* While Cecil from ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' has his moments, perhaps the best Night Valean example comes from Jackson Publick's Hiram Mcdaniels. Well, two out of five, anyway.
--> '''Green Head:''' '''''Do you hear the beating of my terrible wings? Do you feel the flames lick at the corners of a life you once thought belonged to you?'''''
--> '''Purple Head:''' '''''AND YOU WILL NEVER HEAR IT! IT’S A SECRET! AND BURIED IN A SECRET PLACE!'''''
* Big personalities are a common sight at WebOriginal/AwesomeGamesDoneQuick. For example, the acting in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7EBmJZVHOxM#t=1305 2013 Final Fantasy IX run]] is a hilarious cross between LargeHam and BadBadActing.
* Aspiring voice actress [[https://www.youtube.com/user/brizzyvoices Brizzy Voices]], [[ManOfAThousandVoices woman of a thousand voices]], and [[https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.179410748927717.1073741829.167099453492180&type=1 even]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx1oXIv6Ks8 more]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d64K9Msv0Dg facial]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwvOz71fTbM expressions]].
** Her cross-country friend [[https://www.youtube.com/user/tessaROXX Tessa Netting]] too. When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J9AKrwN0dY both]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay4G3FRzgj4 meet]], it's HamToHamCombat to the max, and they can't hold the laughter.
* The BigBad of ''WebAnimation/DusksDawn''admits to enjoying himself while he casts disaster on Ponyville, and seems to be the most energetic actor. This isn't saying a whole lot, as everyone else is stiff or unintelligible sometimes.
* [[LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} The Yogscast provides a few]], although most members do have a degree of hamminess.
** LetsPlay/SimonLane takes the cake even by his group's standards. He takes NoIndoorVoice to the extreme, often disrupting other people's recordings because he's screaming ''from several rooms away, once setting off a car alarm outside''. Yogtowers is in an office block and a few floors off the ground.
-->'''Duncan:''' (after Simon has spent several seconds screaming in VideoGame/PropHunt) That was loud, even from the next room!
** LetsPlay/{{Sips}} enjoys hamming it up from time to time, most commonly in VideoGame/GarrysMod's Murder mode when he's DrunkOnTheDarkSide.
** LetsPlay/DuncanJones gets in on the ham whenever he does an EvilLaugh.
** LetsPlay/LewisBrindley often freaks out over the straw that broke the camel's back.
* Chonny, of ''WebVideo/{{yourchonny}}'' fame, alongside his parents...or him acting as his parents.
* Judge Dead from the ''Franchise/{{Noob}}'' franchise, whose onscreen actions usually consist of acting as JudgeJuryAndExecutioner due to his MMORPG Game Master profession. When he has to carry out a sanction, he exposes the fault and the punishment in a very loud, enthusiactic and microphone-altered towards being deep voice while moving his arms around. He sometimes throws in an EvilLaugh or two.
* [[{{WebAnimation/TOME}} NNNYYYYYYYYLLLLOOOOOOCCCCCKKKKKEEEE!!!!!]] [[Creator/LittleKuriboh DRAGON OF THE COLD STEEL!]] '''''[[CatchPhrase WHOOOSH!!!!!]]'''''
* [[EldritchAbomination The Simurgh]] of ''Literature/{{Worm}}''. How can a silent angelic figure be a ham? By being a drama queen. The telepathic song she uses to MindRape people? She doesn't actually need that - she's just showing off and providing hints as to who she hit directly. Come the endgame[[spoiler: , she upgrades Leviathan by falling from the sky to stab him with a sword containing the upgrade - it's explicitly described as being like an Angel descending from on high to slay the Serpent. And let's not forget her decoy's desperate grasping for the sky as she fakes her death vs Zion in the same fight.]]
* ''Podcast/RandomAssault'': Mitch, if he's given too much rope.
* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' is a D&D campaign played by a group of famous voice actors. Ham is inevitable. Almost everyone has gotten in on it except for [[TheStoic Vax]] and [[TheHeart Pike]]:
** [[Creator/TravisWillingham Grog]] is a master of the NoIndoorVoice style:
-->'''Grog:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext THERE IS NO PHILIP]]! THERE IS ONLY...GROG THE VENGEFUL!!!
** [[Creator/SamRiegel Scanlan]], being a bard, loves to randomly break out into song and has a flair for the dramatic:
-->'''Scanlan:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext YOU LEAVE WHEN BURT REYNOLDS TELLS YOU TO LEAVE!]]
** [[Creator/OrionAcaba Tiberius]] is generally a kind of AbsentMindedProfessor archetype, but he can often be hammy for the sake of comedy - and occasionally, intimidation:
-->'''Tiberius:''' Nobody threatens a goddamn STORMWIND!
** Keyleth, being pretty much the definition of {{Adorkable}}, usually does this in situations where her NoSocialSkills flaw gets her into trouble.
-->'''Keyleth:''' I'M SORRY. I'M TRYING TO REMAIN CALM!
** Percy is usually the OnlySaneMan, but his [[GadgeteerGenius gadgets]] tend to make him go a [[LaughingMad little nuts]]. At one point he goes on a shooting rampage in his pajamas. Then, of course, there's his AxCrazy rampage in Episode 25:
-->'''Percy:''' Your soul is FORFEIT! DIE, DIE!
** Similar to Keyleth, Vex is usually the group GenkiGirl - but she's also got a large case of GoldFever, and her reactions to things going wrong can be fantastically passionate.
-->'''Vex:''' (after Grog "haggles" away a good chunk of their money) YOU'RE SUCH A DICK!
** The cameo characters get in on it too, particularly [[Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn Zahra]], who is an IceQueen until she kills [[spoiler: Rimefang]]
-->'''Zahra:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Yes I FUCKING CAN!]]
** And, of course, [[Creator/MatthewMercer Matt.]] [[ManOfAThousandVoices Matt]], [[CliffHanger Matt]], [[EvilGloating Matt]]. From the villainous speeches to his excellent descriptions and metaphors to the dramatic death scenes, Matt goes through every possible flavour of ham - but the fan-and-player favourite is probably [[CampGay Gilmore.]]
-->'''Matt (narrating)''': The beaded curtain swishes open with a grandiose gesture of one slightly meaty hand, and stepping out in his fine, gold-trimmed [[PurpleIsPowerful purple robes]]...
-->'''Matt as Gilmore:''' I'm ''sorry'', was I being summoned?
* ''WebVideo/TheBenHeckShow'': Ben himself is a rather large ham.
* WebVideo/{{Caddicarus}} can be quite hammy at times.
-->'''Caddicarus:''' ''(to WebVideo/{{Brutalmoose}})'' YOU MUST SUFFER!!
* WebAnimation/AcedemySugoiSeiun: Itachi is always over the top.
* WebVideo/UNHhhh: Both Trixie and Creator/{{Katya}} are large hams on their own, although Katya definitely takes the cake, frequently flailing wildly, screaming loudly, and dancing erratically, among other things.
* Most of the main characters of ''WebAnimation/NoEvil'' are subtle, snarky, or otherwise non-hammy - the loudest of them are goofball coyote Huey and BearyFriendly Canadian Paula. The ''minor'' characters, on the other hand...
-->'''[=McCoy=] Village Idiot:''' I! WILL NOT! LET YOU TAKE! MAAA! VILLAAAAAGE!
* Jessica of ''Podcast/FatFrenchAndFabulous'', in contrast to Janel's DeadpanSnarker, has an over-the-top, bombastic style.

-->"THEY GLOW IN THE DARK!"
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Alex is prone to bragging, and would qualify as EvilIsHammy if he was a straight-up villain instead of being AmbiguouslyEvil.
** Seth is not as hammy as his rival, but its there. He'll describe his actions in bellowing bravado rather often.
** Lisa is especially hammy when she is trolling someone, in which she will banter with extreme bravado.
* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Nik comes off as extremely whiny, but he's just putting on a show.
* ''LetsPlay/{{Mahu}}'': In "Second Chance", the Thadrakos mecenas are more than a little hammy, as fitting their extravagant personas.
* [[WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} Jim Sterling]] just loves to ham it up, in case the "steampunk Music/GreenDay" outfit wasn't enough of a clue. Sometimes he will create or borrow entirely new personae, such as BlueBlood {{Manchild}} [[StopHavingFunGuys Duke Amiel du H'Ardcore]] or deranged SerialKiller [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jimsaw]] or wrestling {{Heel}} Sterdust or [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse literally just Skeletor]], in order to ham it up in whatever new way he thinks will be funny.
-->''It's Friday morning as I record this. The video itself will be up on Monday, too early to do E3 reactions and too late to do E3 predictions. But it's gotta be something to do with E3, what would you have of me? Oh if only Microsoft had done something stupid and vile to such a degree it didn't matter whether it was E3 or not, and I'd have material for weeks! OhWait YES THEY DID!'' (Produces massive knives and starts scraping them against each other) ''Oh, this is gonna be SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!'' (EvilLaugh)
* ''Series/TheWeather'': The host for the "AB 95" tech demonstration spends the scene yelling, chanting, pounding on the floor, and even uses a random PrecisionFStrike against the audience. He then invites the technicians on stage and they all dance quite ham-ily, before fawning over a PC.
* Killsin, from ''Series/TheCallOfWarr'', overreacts to almost everything, and shouts constantly; in-universe, this only serves to startle or annoy the other characters.
* Webvideo/UrinatingTree, who channels a [[LargeHamAnnouncer wrestling announcer]] and says everything bombastically, and given he normally talks about failure, the discrepancy between subject and delivery makes everything even funnier. The ham is incredibly taken up a notch with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL9kXUbiRCQ "Hurricanes Man".]]
* ''WebVideo/TheMostEpicStoryEverToldInAllOfHumanHistory'': [[BigBad Ridiculously Epic]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ridiculously Epic Fail]] are both great embodiments of the EvilIsHammy trope. [[CoolBoard The Epic Skatepark Owner]] is also a rather hammy character, though his hamminess is {{downplayed}} compared to the other two.

** ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has two standout GenkiGirl cases, title character Ruby Rose (played by one of the Achievement Hunters, Lindsay Jones, in a a nasal voice that just helps the ham) and {{Tsundere}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuLBRigqX5A Nora Valkyrie]]. Volume 6 introduces [[GrumpyOldMan grumpy old lady]] Caroline Cordovin, [[TheNapoleon who compensates her small size]] by being highly aggressive, haughty and condescending - and when the heroes steal an airship from her, Cordo [[DisproportionateRetribution tries to take them down with an]] HumongousMecha while angrily spouting hammy threats.
