Punctuated For Emphasis / Live-Action TV

Examples. Of. Punctuated! For! Emphasis! In. Live. Action. Television. Series.

---

• Basically in any game show where the prize is some large amount of money, for example: "One. Million. Dollars!"
  • Done by the audience in the opening of "WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!" Somewhat less badass than other examples, at least until someone spins $5,000 or so.
  • And let's not forget "This... is... JEOPARDY!"

---

• American Idol: Simon Cowell. "What. The Hell. Was That?"
• The Therapy Buddy from American Inventor: Everything. Is. Going. To. Be. All. Right.
• Angel: Harmony. "Chanel's. Not. TACKY!"
• Ashes to Ashes (2008): We are police officers. And we are Un. Bloody. BREAKABLE!
• Babylon 5: No more! No more of you! No more Nightwatch! No more hostages! No more LIES! Not on my station! Not on my watch! NO MORE!
• Battlestar Galactica (2003): But I was! Elected! To Office! Which is more. Than Roslin. Can claim.
  • And, notably: I. AM. COMING. FOR. ALL. OF. YOU!
• The Big Bang Theory: Our whole universe was in a HOT! DENSE! STATE!
• The Big Comfy Couch: HEY... WHO MADE THIS BIG MESS!!?
• Avon's famous This Cannot Be! reaction in the final scene of Blake's 7. "Is it true? Have you betrayed us? Have. You. Betrayed. ME?" (Shatner would be proud.)
• In The Borgias, Rodrigo has had a few of these moments, most notably "We will. EXCOMMUNICATE! FLORENCE!" Then there's Juan, who's not exactly sane at this point, yelling "MACHIAVELLI! KNOWS! EVERYTHING!" as part of a rant blaming Cesare and Machiavelli for not telling him another army was joining the battle.
• The Bozo Show: GRAND! PRIZE! GAME!
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I. Owe. You. Pain.
  • "They got. The mustard. OOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUT!" The musical cadence and crescendo forced him into it, but it counts.
  • Then there was "The Prom", where Buffy is arguing with her friends because they want to help her fight the loser who wants revenge rather than attend the party.
    Oz: Buffy, it makes sense to...
    Buffy: Have. A nice. Time.
    • Her Death Glare, and the fact she threatened to kill everyone on the face of the planet to make sure the prom goes ahead, makes them skedaddle.
  • Flooded: NO! MORE! FULL! COPPER! REPIPE!
• Chappelle's Show: FUCK! YOUR! COUCH! NIGGA! FUCK! YOUR! COUCH!
• Chef!: "Who — made — this — sauce?"
  • "CLEAN! THIS! FRIGGING! KITCHEN!"
  • Mixed with Gratuitous French: "MISE! EN! PLACE!"
• Stilgar in the Children of Dune miniseries, in response to being told that Alia has placed a bounty on his head: "Well I say unto you! Send. Men. To summon. WOOOOOoooooorrrrrmmmmssssss. And we shall go to Arrakeen. To collect it." Also, in response to Muad'dib relaying an alliance offer from the spacing guild: "We haven't forgotten about the Guild...how they BLACKMAILED us for SPICE!". In fact, Stilgar's actor in the Children series (different from his actor in the first miniseries) delivers enough of these lines to qualify as a Large Ham.
• CSI: Miami: Horatio talks like this to show that things are really serious now. For instance, to a perp who thrives on taking advantage of his father's diplomatic immunity, "You forget one thing: We. Never. Close."
• CSI: NY: Lab Rat Adam Ross once describes his boss as "not a patient man." Case in point, when questioning a former Nazi war criminal in interrogation, Mac loses it and demands, "You have something to say, Braun? DO YOU! HAVE SOMETHING! TO SAY!?
• Deadliest Warrior: Who? Is? DEADLIEST?!
• The Doctor Oz Show: Dr. Oz and his audience introduce the GAME! OF! THE! DAY! in this manner.
• Doctor Who is in love with this trope and always has been, right back from the camp days of the 60's and 70's (or is it 80's?) right up to the (arguably just as camp) present, with epic scale ham.
  • EX-TER-MI-NATE! The Daleks emphasize every single syllable, and it's made them icons of British TV. And the Dalek Emperor says that yes, actually, this is blasphemy.
    "THOSE. WORDS. ARE. BLASPHEMY!"
    • "DO! NOT! BLASPHEME! DO! NOT! BLASPHEME!"
    • E-LE-VATE.
  • And who could forget — "THERE ARE! NO! MACRA!"
  • The Dalek Emperor: "DO! NOT! FIGHT! IN! HEEERE!"
  • In "The Three Doctors", Omega, who is one of the largest hams what ever hammed, even by Doctor Who standards, speaks pretty much all of his lines this way. "I. AM. THE. CREATOR. OF. TIME. LORD. SOCIETYYYYYYY!"
  • Davros, the Daleks' creator, taught them how to talk this way, so naturally he does it himself. Big Finish Doctor Who has one of the more epic examples: "I! Will! Not! Cower! I! Will! Not! Die! I! Will! Not! Die! This! Is! Not! The end! This! Is! Only! THE BEGINNING!"
    • "YOU! WILL! TELL! ME!"
    • "I! WILL! SHOW! YOU! THE FOLLY OF YOUR WORDS! DOK-TOR!"
    • "YOU FOOLS! YOU! CANNOT! KILL! ME! I! AM! DAVROS!"
    • I! WILL! GO ON!
    • Or this exchange between Davros and the Seventh Doctor:
      Davros: THE DALEKS! SHALL! BECOME! LORDS! OF! TIME! WE! SHALL! BECOME! ALL-
      Seventh Doctor: [interrupting him] -POWERFUL! Conquer the galaxy! Crush! The lesser races! UNLIMITED! RICE! PUDDING! ETCETERA! ETCETERA!
  • "HOW! MANY! NIMONS?"
  • Seven in "Battlefield": "STOOOOOOOP! I COMMAND IT! THERE. WILL. BE. NO. BATTLE HERE!!!"
  • The 1996 Eighth Doctor TV movie gave us "THIS! IS! AN! AMBULANCE!" from the Master.
    • WHO! AM! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII??????????????????!!!!!!
    • The same film gave us "I! AM! THE DOCTOR!"
  • Nine in "Father's Day": "Jackie Tyler, do as I say! GO! AND CHECK! THE DOORS!"
  • "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances":
    • The Child and his army of gas-mask zombies sometimes do this with their Madness Mantra:
      "Are. You. My. Mum-mmy?"
    • The Ninth Doctor: "GO — TO — YOUR — ROOM!" Arguably lampshaded right after, with the Doctor saying he's glad it worked because "those would have been terrible Last Words."
    • EVERYBODY!!! LIVES!!!!!!!
  • "The Christmas Invasion":
    • The Sycorax leader and the newly-regenerated Tenth Doctor both speak like this: "I DEMAND TO KNOW. WHO. YOU. ARE!" "I. DON'T. KNOW!"
    • Also, the Doctor's Declaration of Protection:
      "By the ancient rites of combat, I forbid you to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when you go back to the stars and tell others of this planet, when you tell them of its riches, its people, its potential, when you talk of the Earth, then make sure that you tell them this... IT! IS! DEFENDED!"
  • "New Earth":
    Rose: [laughing] So you're talking out your–
    Cassandra: Ask. Not.
  • "School Reunion":
    Sarah Jane: THE. LOCH NESS. MONSTER!
  • "The Idiot's Lantern";
    Mr. Connolly: I! AM! TALKING!
    The Doctor: And I'M! NOT! LISTENING!
  • "Human Nature": Father of Mine, when crashing the village dance:
    "YOU! WILL! BE! SILENT!"
  • A villainous example by the Master, done in a menacing hiss and far more effective as a result, from "Utopia":
    "I. Am. The Master."
    • And this one, which was just a bit louder: "HERE! COME! THE DRUMS!!!" Right before pumping out Voodoo Child by the Rogue Traders, which has the repeated refrain, "Here come the drums, here come the drums!"
  • Donna pulled this off when she first saw the Doctor again in "Partners in Crime", although we only see her mouthing the words (through soundproof glass): "Oh! My! GOD!" followed by, "This! Is! BRILLIANT!"
  • "The Doctor's Daughter" contains the line "I. Never. Would." Cranking that Tranquil Fury.
  • "Journey's End":
    • Courtesy of Davros:
      "THIS! Is my ultimate victory, Doctor! THE DESTRUCTION! OF REALITY! ITSELF!"
      "DETONATE! THE REALITY! BOMB!"
      "NOTHING! CAN! STOP! THE DETONATION! NOTHING! AND! NO ONE!"
      "NEVER FORGET! DOCTOR! YOU! DID THIS! I! NAME! YOU! FOREVER! YOU ARE THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS! AAAAARRRGGGHHH!!"
    • The absolutely epic Moment of Awesome from Dalek Caan, of all characters, ends with:
      "And I decreed: No! More!"
  • "The Waters of Mars": I am the Last of the Time Lords! The Laws of Time are mine! And They! Will! Obey me!
  • "The End of Time":
    • As the Master comes back to life: "NEVER! NEVER! NEVER DYING! NEVER DYING!"
    • Lucy Saxon gets hers in this dueling Punctuated! For! Emphasis! with the resurrected Master:
      The Master: DON'T! YOU! DARE!
      Lucy: TILL DEATH! DO US PART! HARRY!
    • "Worst! Rescue! EVER!"
    • FOR THE END! OF TIME! ITSELF!
    • Timothy Dalton's furious "I will NOT! DIE!!!!"
    • The Master's Heroic Sacrifice: "YOU DID THIS TO ME! ALL OF MY LIFE! YOU! MADE! ME!! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! FOUR!!!!"
  • "Victory of the Daleks":
    • "YOU! ARE! MY! ENEMY!" (each word punctuated by the Dalek in question being pummeled by a big wrench) and later "I am the Doctor, and YOU ARE! THE! DALEKS!"
    • The Daleks in that episode as well: "WOULD! YOU! LIKE! SOME! TEA?!" "I! AM! YOUR! SOLDIER!" and "YOU! DO! NOT! REQUIRE! TEA?!"
  • "Flesh and Stone": "LIKE! ME! FOR! INSTANCE!" Matt Smith can yell with the best of them.
  • "The Vampires of Venice": "WE! ARE! VENETIANS!!!"
  • "Amy's Choice": "THIS VILLAGE! IS SO! DULL!"
  • "The Pandorica Opens": "Could you lot just stay still for a minute, 'cause III! AAAAM! TALLLLKIIING!"
  • Rory gets an excellent one in "A Good Man Goes to War": Where. Is. My. Wife.
    • Bonus points for this being delivered in Roman uniform.
    • Even more for managing to scare the living crap out of the Cybermen.
    • The Doctor to Colonel Manton, aka Colonel Run-Away: "When, in the future, people come to you and ask you whether coming after me through the PEOPLE! I! LOVE! is in any way a good idea, I want you to tell them your name."
    • When Rory and Amy are reunited with their daughter, the Doctor awkwardly tries to bow out to let the family have some private time. Rory insists that the Doctor come in to meet Melody, saying, "Oy! You. Get in here. Now!"
  • "The Wedding of River Song": "Doctor Who!? Doctor Who!? DOC!TOR! WHOO!?"
  • "Asylum of the Daleks": "I AM! HUMAN, I AM NOT! DALEK! I! AM! HUMAN!"
  • "The Snowmen": "CLARA! OSWIN! OSWALD!"

  • The Electric Company (1971): We. Are out. Of SWEETROLLS!
• Entourage — GET! THE FUCK! OUT!
• From "The Equalizer": LEAVE! THE LADY! ALONE! and YOU!.. ARE!!.. SCUMMM!!!
• Eureka has almost the exact quote in the bowling episode.
  Bismark: This is blasphemy! Okay! This is madness!
  Fargo: This! Is! EUREKA!
• Everybody Loves Raymond: When Raymond has a meltdown because of an approved snacks incident. "I don't think THAT'S! AN APPROVED! SNAAaaAACK!!"
• Family Matters: "Carl! Carl … Otis … Winslow!" Said by Harriet, reprimanding her husband (for accidentally discarding her late aunt's cremains in with fireplace ashes and keeping quiet) … shortly after Carl had lectured Eddie about gambling at an underground casino to cover up the fact that, while being an unlicensed driver, he was involved in a car accident with the family car.
• Farscape: "HUMANS! ARE! SUPERIOOOOORRR!"
• Father Brown:
  • "The Hammer of God": After hearing the confession of Wilfred Bohun and the reasons why he committed the crime and doesn't feel guilty about either the crime or the possibility that Elizabeth could hang for it, because the events were divinely guided, Father Brown yells, "God! Is not! Your scapegoat!!" The fact that this is pretty much the only occasion over the course of the whole series in which the sleuthing priest raises his voice in anger/outrage, it isn't just the punctuation that emphasises the line. Brown himself in fact looks more stunned afterwards than Bohun.
• Father Ted: Most of the time, Father Jack, who tends to stick with a handful of words. Namely "WHAT?!", "NO!", "DRINK!", "FECK!", "ARSE!", "GIRLS!"
  Father Jack: NUNS! NUNS! REVERSE! REVERSE!
• Frasier: I! AM! WOUNDED!
• Freaky: In "Dog":
  • "Okay, you've taken it too far. The joke's over. Let. Me. In. Now!"
  • "I! Am not! An animal! I'm a human being!"
• Hilariously, in a tour promoting his film (Law Abiding Citizen), Gerard Butler of 300 fame appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, and was asked (persuaded? bullied?) to introduce each and every guest in exactly this way. He introduced heavyweight champion of the world David Haye, Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding and comedian Michael McIntyre. Who then introduced Butler himself in similar style, complete with kick.
• Friends has Janice's Incoming Ham phrase "Oh! My! God!", that makes Chandler's balls "jump back up inside his body".
  • Ross does it twice in the same scene. An emphatic version of an infamous phrase ("We! Were! On! A! Break!") and "Front — and back'''!"
  • And Ross again in this scene. As in:
    Ross: It. Was. My. Sandwich.
    Colleague: Now, now. Calm down — come look in my office. Some of it may still be in the trash. W-well, it was quite large; I had to throw most of it away!
    Ross: You-you-you-you. Threw. My. Sandwich. Away? My sandwich?! MY!! SANDWICH!!!!
  • From The One with the Boobies:
    Rachel: YOU! Were supposed! To be in THERE! So I! Could SEE YOUR THING!
• In Full House:
  • Regarding Jesse's driving test:
    Danny: How was your—
    Jesse: DO — NOT — ASK — ME — ABOUT — MY — DRIVING — TEST — CAPISCE?!
  • During the episode "The Apartment", Danny asks Kimmy for Steve's phone number due to D.J. being at Steve's apartment, and Kimmy obliges... only to tell Danny that Steve hasn't got his phone hooked up yet. Danny promptly lets loose a rant on Kimmy (over the phone, at that), at one point saying: "Get. That. Address. Right. Now!", before the scene shifts to Steve's apartment.
  • When Danny is having trouble with the coffee-maker:
    Jesse: I said: Read. The. Instructions.
    Danny: They're! In! Italian!
• Fun House (1988): Let's! Get!! MESSY!!!
• Game of Thrones:
  • King Joffrey's response to his uncle threatening to geld him.
    "What did you say? What...did you...SAY?!"
  • And later when he is dismissed for insulting his Dragon-in-Chief grandfather.
    "I'm not...TIRED!!"
  • And later still, when he's trying his hardest to publicly humiliate his uncle. This really seems to be his main tactic for intimidation.
    "Kneel. I said...KNEEL!"
  • The Master Torturer: "I. Want. The. Truth!"
• Gotham: There's an unusually drawn out example when Gordon, who has spent the entire series thumbing his nose at absolutely everyone with any power in the city, finally has enough.
  Gordon: I'm done being careful.
  Bullock: You think you've been careful so far?
  Gordon: I'm taking them all down.
  Bullock: You think you've been careful so far.
  Gordon: The mayor, Falcone, and every dirty cop I know about.
  Bullock: You think. You've been careful. So far.
• In an episode of Happy Endings, Jane sees Penny's new helmet that she has to wear because of her most recent (of many) head injuries, and goes so far as to say the punctuation in her sentence. "What question mark is question mark that question mark?"
• A variation in The Heavy Water War. The female SOE captain, unimpressed with the lousy shooting of the Norwegian recruits on the firing range, draws her pistol and puts a neat bullet through each bullseye while giving a What the Hell, Hero?.
  "Being enthusiastic...is not the same as being ready. (fires) Wanting to do something, is not the same as being able to do something. (fires) And being hungover, is not being fit to fight! (fires, then walks off)
• Hell's Kitchen: Look! At! This! Look! LOOK! LOOK! What the fuck is this!?

• The Honeymooners: Ralph Kramden: "YOU! ARE A! BLABBERMOUTH!!!'"
• How I Met Your Mother: "I am NEVER! Eating RIBS! AGAIN! ...In front of TED!"
  • "IT! WILL! NOT!... yield".
  • This trope is pretty much Barney's default manner of speaking.
  • The best example has to come from Ted, though. "You fight all. The. Time."
• Freddie's countdown in iCarly: "In Five. Four. Three. Two..."
  • And in some episodes when Carly and Sam describe the sketch they're about to do. ex: "MESSING! WITH! LEWBERT!"
• Ezra’s incredulous reaction when Maudie unexpectedly disappears from the classroom via the window in the first episode of The InBESTigators:
  Ezra: What. Just. Happened.
• Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer: The titular Jack Horkheimer would like to remind everyone to "keep...looking...up!"^note He didn't say it this way exclusively, however. This mainly occurred in the early 1990s.
• Jeeves and Wooster: BRRRRUSSEL! SPRRRRROUTS!
  • ANATOLE! HAS! GIVEN! NOTICE!
• Johnny Gilbert's announcement of "THIS! IS! Jeopardy!"
  • Also, "And now, here is the host of Jeopardy... ALEX! TREBEK!"
  • This came full circle on the February 22, 2012 episode, where each clue had Johnny Gilbert reading a famous phrase beginning with "This is…" in the style of the intro. Naturally, one of them was indeed "This! IS! SPARTA!"
• Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger: When the Patrangers summon their mecha we are treated to the following

  • Kamen Rider Decade: Kuuga! Agito! Ryuki! Faiz! Blade! Hibiki! Kabuto! Den-O! Kiva! Final! Kamen! Ride! Decade!
  • Kamen Rider Double: The belt announces things this way, e.g. "Cyclone! Joker!"
  • Kamen Rider OOO: Taka! Tora! Batta! Ta! To! Ba! Tatoba! Ta! To! Ba! (And similar for the other combos - though the combo names don't get this apart from Tatoba, the individual medals are ALWAYS announced this way.)
  • Kamen Rider Fourze: Three! Two! One! Henshin!
  • Kamen Rider Wizard: The Wizardriver announces spells like this, in the form of "(Spell Name)! Please!" Kamen Rider Wiseman and Kamen Rider Mage's belts substitute "Now!" for "Please!".
  • Drago Time! Set up! Start!
  • Driver on! Please! Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! Flame! Please! Hii! Hii! Hii Hii HII! (And similarly for the other forms.)

• Kenan & Kel: "I! Dropped a screw! In the Tuna!"
• One of the Kitchen Nightmares openings has Gordon exclaiming "That! Is! Amazing!", possibly one of the rare occasions he's used this trope in a positive manner. His more-or-less Once an Episode Catchphrase of "Shut the place down!" is usually said without emphasis, but on some occasions where things have been REALLY bad, it was emphasised "Shut! The place! DOWN!"
• Merritt Rook in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Authority": "PUSH! THE! BUTTON!"
• The League of Gentlemen: WE! BELONG! LOCAL!

  • From the first season, also courtesy of Higgie-baby: "ZEUS! APOLLO! KILL!"
• Malcolm in the Middle: Malcom's friend... Stevie... always talks... like this. (It's because he has severe asthma and only really has enough breath for one or two words at a time). This actually worked to his advantage at one point, when he unleashed sweet revenge on Reese while yelling (well, as much as he can yell) "Reap... the whirlwind!"
• In the "Harper vs. Harper" episode of Mama's Family, Thelma and Naomi are arguing over a broken vacuum and a burnt rug. The judge gets increasingly agitated by their antics and delivers several lines WITH! LOTS! OF! WORD! EMPHASIS!:
  • When Thelma tries to call Vinton as a witness:
    Naomi: He's my witness!
    'Thelma: He's my son!
    Naomi: He's my husband!
    Judge: IT! IS MY! COURTROOM!
  • After a subject diversion about Thelma's Aunt Minnie:
    Judge: I don't care about your Aunt Minnie!
    Thelma: Well, neither did Uncle Dooly. I think that's what pushed the woman right over the edge...
    Judge: I only care... about getting this case settled... getting you OUT! of my COURTROOM! and OUT! of my LIFE! Now you tell me! WHAT! HAPPENED! WITH! THE! CLEANER?!?!
  • After Thelma tries to demand the money from Naomi:
    Judge: Now, I will not tell you again! LET! ME! HANDLE! THIS! CASE!

  • Later played straight: Will asked Mac not to tell anyone the story of why they broke up. Then she accidentally sent an e-mail, explaining in some detail what happened, to the entire office...
    Will McAvoy: You know how sometimes something happens in an instant that's so astonishing you just... shut down?
    MacKenzie McHale: Of course, that's understa–
