Huh. I just saw this, wonder if it fits. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but if I understood the scene correctly, Tim is mocking Terence's emotional reaction, i.e., he's implying that his dad is being corny and a LargeHam.

EDIT: Ugh, fucking YKTTW formatting. Also, apparently we don't have a page for the film. That's surprising. Anyway, potholed it to display correctly.

Film (It was a stage production first, but I've never seen it on stage so I don't know if these lines are in the stage version):

* A rare instance of this trope being {{Invoked}} [[PlayedForDrama for Drama]] occurs in ''[[Film/TheresNoBusinessLikeShowBusiness There's No Business Like Show Business]]''. After Tim [[spoiler:gets drunk and crashes his car with a passenger, both of them miraculously surviving with barely a scratch]], the stress of learning what happened combined with Tim's lack of remorse causes his father Terence to tell him off.

-->'''Terence:''' What's got into you? Who do you think you are? I'll tell you what you are. You're nothing, because you've made yourself nothing, you conceited little punk. I wouldn't care if I never saw you again.
-->'''Tim:''' Well, come on now, pop. I heard there was a big crop of corn this year, but--
-->'''Terence:''' What?
-->'''Tim:''' Corn. H-A-M. Corn. ''[Terence slaps him across the face and storms out of the room.]''
