* Ren from ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' in almost every episode. '''"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT4YbO_1mvA What do you MEAN you don't agree with me?! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH??!!!!]]"'''
** "''Do you have to keep tapping like that?!'' You bloated sack of protoplasm!"
** From the episode ''Stimpy's Fan Club''':
---> '''Ren:''' "I... I was nice today. Nice to all those insipid little monkeys... Answering their ''stupid'' letters. My hands... DIRTY! THE DIRT WON'T COME OFF! '''''AAAAAAAHHHH!''''' [Lying in bed] President... What a joke. President... President of WHAT?! [Enviously looking over at Stimpy] ''His'' fan club?! How they love ''him''! Look at him, lying there asleep. [Creeps over to Stimpy's side] The idol of millions. He's a fool! A blind, silly little fool. How easily I could end the farce... With these hands! These DIRTY hands! '''AND WITH THESE HANDS I HOLD THE FATE OF MILLIONS!!!''' They think he's a ''god''... But he's as mortal as we. I know! [Visually drawing a dotted line along Stimpy's neck] Just... One... Quick...'''''TWIST!''''' And it's over... Just one... Just... [a single hair on Ren's head twitches] '''''AAAAH! IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!!! MY BRAIN!!! MY HOT... STINGING... BRAAAAAIIIINNN!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! [[RuleOfThree WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!]]'''''"
** For the ''LAST'' TIME! I! WANT YOU! TO BE! '''''QUIET'''''!!!!!
** "It is not '''I''' who am crazy. It is I who am '''''mad'''''!"
** "Oh no! I know what you want! '''''YOU COVETETH MY ICE CREAM BAR!'''''"
** "I've had this ice cream bar since I was a '''CHILD!!''' PEOPLE! ALWAYS TRYING TO TAKE IT FROM ME! '''''WHY WON'T THEY LEAVE ME, AAAALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNEEEEEEEE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?'''''
** "'''''YOU FILTHY SWINE!''''' I WILL '''''KILL''''' YOU!!!!"
** Stimpy sometimes slips into this on a few occasions, with the most notable scenery-chewing moment being his crying at the beginning of the ''[[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon Adult Party Cartoon]]'' episode "Ren Seeks Help".
** We only hear singer Stinky Whizzleteats on a record in "Stimpy's Invention" but he also qualifies: "I told ya I'd shoot! But you didn't believe me! '''''WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!'''''"
* Sweet holy mother of Glob, Creator/JustinRoiland's ''gorgeous'' performance as Lemongrab in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. He didn't chew the scenery- he completely DEVOURED IT! And he came back a year later later to reprise the role, HUNGRY FOR MORE SCENERY TO RAVENOUSLY FEAST UPON!
-->'''Lemongrab:''' This castle Is... In... UNACCEPTABLE CONDITION! ''UNACCEPTABUUUL!!!''
-->'''Lemongrab:''' NO ONE... NO ONE UNDERSTANDS! I AM ALONE! AND YOU MADE ME LIKE THIS! YOU MADE MEEE! '''YOOOU MAAADE MEEE!!!''' YOU'RE... MY... GLOB! '''YOU'RE MY GLOB!!!'''
** In the words of Tom Herpich (one of the two writers of Lemongrab's episodes) on Justin's performance as Lemongrab: "He crushed it perfectly."
** There are some scenery-chewing moments with Jeremy Shada as Finn:
-->'''Finn:''' I'LL KILL YOU, LUMPY SPAAACE!!!
** And also Creator/TomKenny as the Ice King:
-->'''Ice King:''' I have powers, TOO, you BUTTS!
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': HE IS '''ZIM!!!'''
--> '''''FOOLISH EARTH PIGS!!'''''
--> '''''LIES!''''' THIS FILTHY EARTH BOY '''''LIES!'''''
--> No! You lie! YOU '''LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!'''
** ''Any'' character voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz will chew the scenery given half a chance.
--> "But, invader's blood marches through my veins, like giant RADIOACTIVE RUBBER PANTS! THE PANTS COMMAND ME! DO NOT IGNORE MY VEINS!"
* [[spoiler:The vampire Joker]] is like this constantly in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula'', constantly screaming and moaning and even once said the titular line, right before eating a cockroach.
* Creator/MarkHamill's Fire Lord Ozai in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', particularly in the series finale War Room meeting. In fact, any of Hamill's villains could fit on this page, especially the Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and the Hobgoblin in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries''.
* Professor Dementor in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' was created with this trope in mind.
* ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'':
** Henry Gyrich was always a little unhinged, but his appearance in the last episode shot him straight into scenery-chewing territory. Acoustic feedback from his microphone fails to slow him down. By the end of the scene, for the character's swan song, Barry Flatman shifts gears from merely chewing the scenery to practically ''devouring'' it.
** Storm was wondering if you could MEET HER AT THE MONORAIL!
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'':
--> "I LOVE BEING MOTIVATED! '''[[SeriousBusiness I LOVE BEING MOTIVATED!!!]]'''"
-->"WE'RE HERE TO MAKE EVERYTHING METAL! BLACKER THAN THE BLACKEST BLACK TIMES INFINITY!"
-->"CA-CA-CA-YEAAAAAH! IT'S ME DOCTOR ROCKZO THE ROCK 'N ROLL CLOOOOWWWWWWN! YOU KNOW WHAT I DO BA-BA-BA-BABY?! I DO COCAAAAAAINE! CA-CA-CA-YEAH! COCAINE!"
* Calculon of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' and his '''[[BadBadActing UNHOLY ACTING TALENT]]''':
--> '''[[MemeticMutation UNHOLY ACTING DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!]]'''
--> ROOOOOOOBOOOOOOOT HOOOOOOUUUUUSEEE!
* Decepticons in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' are prone to scenery-chewing:
--> '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwAjddZzNqI YOU INTERRUPTED MY SPEEEEECH!]]''' But don't worry. [[TheStarscream It won't happen again.]]
** Lugnut. Especially with anything in regard to his ''[[MemeticMutation GLORIOUS]]'' leader.
--> '''"STASIS LOCK ITSELF COULD NOT DETER ME FROM YOUR GRAND AND GLORIOUS PLAN! OH WISE AND NOBLE MEGATRON!"'''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'': '''FUCK YOUR COURT, NYUKKA!'''
** Colonel [[MeaningfulName Stinkmeaner]] is probably the best example.
--> "Bitch ass, punk ass, faggot ass, pussy ass, BITCH ASS NIGGA!"
--> "NIGGA! You better have insurance! Ass-whooping insurance! [[PreAssKickingOneLiner And you're about to pay a DEDUCTIBLE!"]]
--> "Who in the hell parked in my spot! That's like calling 1-800-COLLECT-AN-ASS-WHOOPIN', but NO, that ain't no toll-free call!"
** Gin Rummy is a frequent culprit as well. Being voiced by Samuel L. Jackson probably makes it more severe
--> "I'd be dead on his ass like Spenser For fuckin' Hire. I'll hunt him down and feed him his own testicles. And I'll do it in a jiffy. And I don't care if his mama there, his grandmama, innocent bystanders, little kids, baby-sitters, bill collectors. Whatever! ''I'll leave his whole block filled with hot brass if I have to. And you know why?'' '''BECAUSE I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK!'''
* My ability of chewing the scenery must be the work of...'''[[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents FAIRY GOD PARENTS!]]'''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'':
** "'''SILENCE YOU IMPERIOUS ''MORON''!'''" Oh, Doc Ock. You shift between this and a boderline CreepyMonotone so well it's almost scary. It should be noted this is [[IncomingHam his first line after officially becoming a villain]].
** "WE'RE '''VENOM'''!!!"
** "MYSTERIO, MASTER OF THE ARCAAANAAA!"
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'':
** [[LampshadeHanging Notably lampshaded]] in an episode where Cyborg gets a virus that messes with his programming. As a result, he ''literally'' starts eating the scenery...[[HilarityEnsues you can guess what happens]].
** Whenever Slade gets pissed. For example: "But the only thing you care about are your '''WORTHLESS LITTLE''' '''''FRIENDS!'''''"
** "[[SeriousBusiness YOU! RUINED! MY! DRESS!]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'': "We've [[MemeticMutation GOT]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYWdHe4tQ4 to have]]......'''MONAY'''!!!"
* He is the [[CatchPhrase Terror that Flaps in the Night]]. He is the Caped Crusader who chomps chewy chunks from the scenery as he counters cheesy chumps. He is [[{{Beat}} ...]] ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck!'' Every single character on the show has moments of this. One especially cheesy episode lampshades this trope by showcasing a giant space slug which chews up the set in the background. Darkwing (of course) thinks it's [[HypocriticalHumor ridiculous]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Some of the characters Trey plays can leave a hole in the scenery.
** Cartman lives and breathes this:
-->'''Cartman''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I... AM...]] '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis GOD!!!]]'''
** Randy. Constantly. In later episodes.
** Unusually, Mr. Mackey in "Royal Pudding".
-->'''Mr. Mackey''': ''(to [[NoRespectGuy Kyle]], taking over Ike's role as Tooth Decay)'' You call rolling your fat ass out on the stage and lazily blurting out your lines like a turtle takin' a [[PrecisionFStrike shit]], '''YOU CALL THAT TRYIN'?!'''
* ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''. Three words. '''FOR THE ROYALTY!!!'''
** Well before Inferno, dear old Megatron proved that you don't have to [[NoIndoorVoice constantly lose control of your volume]] in order to devour the scenery; simply speaking in a more grandiose fashion than a trained Shakespearean actor among a troop of cretinous morons and one [[TheStarscream expectedly duplicitous spider]], oftentimes using [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness unnecessarily long words]], and occasionally while doing things like [[FunnyBackgroundEvent brushing the teeth of your giant T-Rex head for an arm]]. Probably to clean the bits of scenery out of it, [[VerbalTic yyyeeeeessss]].
*** In the Season 2 finale, Megatron proves you can chew the scenery without saying a word, making his entrance by mugging for the camera while planting his foot on someone he'd just shot.
** ''Beast Wars'' is very much a WorldOfHam, with most of the Predacons, and even some of the Maximals, gnawing on the early-CGI landscape.
* Aku from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': "Samurai, samurai. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Why.]] [[LargeHam Won't.]] [[WhyWontYouDie You.]] '''''[[NoIndoorVoice DIIIIIEEEE?!]]'''''"
** "...and '''GREAT FLAAAMMING EYEBROWS!'''"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' Seriously, is there a single character who isn't Hammy to the extreme?
* Benson from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', big time, but only when provoked.
* Binky the Clown from ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' spends the whole time screaming, to the point where there were shorts called "SCREAMING WITH BINKY". The cartoon played this for laughs quite often; at one point he was temporarily given a job as a newscaster, where he kept his signature mannerisms.
** "HEY!!! I WANT MY PANTS BACK!!!!"
--->'''Garfield''': "After being unable to find work, Binky eventually did what so many other clowns end up doing - he went into politics."
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Robotnik from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' often overdoes his lines, like here.
--->'''Robotnik''': Why is my precious rocket ship drifting off into deep space?! Why am I reaching you at the coordinates of the abandoned space station?! WHY?! WHY?! WHHYYY?!
** In the ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' episode "The Meteor", Sonic and Eggman [[FreakyFridayFlip end up swapping bodies]]. The real kicker? They keep their original voices. When Sonic speaks with Eggman's ham and inflections, he pulls out all the stops.
* Hank Hill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'':
** '''LOSER! YOU'RE A LOSER!''' ARE YOU FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF?! WELL YOU SHOULD BE, 'CAUSE YOU ARE '''DIRT'''! YOU MAKE ME '''SICK''' YOU BIG BABY! BABY WANT A BOTTLE? A BIG '''DIRT BOTTLE?!'''
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Rarity. Oh so very much. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E23InspirationManifestation Inspiration Manifestation]]", You can almost imagine Tabitha St. Germain desperately trying to hold back the maniacal laughter in her rant at the end, especially with the [[ForDoomTheBellTolls omnious bells]] chiming in the background.
--->'''Rarity:''' ...until there isn't an inch of Equestria that hasn't been ''utterly transformed by'' '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis my! creative! GENIUS!]]'''''
** Also Luna, in "Luna Eclipsed", who combines LargeHam with NoIndoorVoice, GaleForceSound ''and'' FloweryElizabethanEnglish in one package. It probably helps that both she and Rarity are both voiced by Creator/TabithaStGermain.
--->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Well... you kinda sound like you're yelling at me.\\
'''Luna:''' But this is the traditional Royal Canterlot voice! It is tradition to speak with the [[RoyalWe royal "we"]], and to use '''''[[GaleForceSound THIS MUCH VOLUME WHEN ADDRESSING OUR SUBJECTS]].'''''
** Pinkie Pie. Give her a big enough megaphone, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Femf0b8PqPI her yelling can]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Femf0b8PqPI push back mountains.]]''
** Kathleen Barr does it too. The relevant equation is Trixie + Stage = '''VOLUME'''.
** You wouldn't think [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] would ever chew the scenery, right? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwp60eYuie0 Wrong]]! Of course, she's suffered SanitySlippage leading up to this.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' "Say my name! ''[[SayMyName SAY MY NAAAAAAME!]]''"
--> "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! AM!]] [[NoIndoorVoice NOT! A! FROOT! LOOP!]]"
--> "[[ButtMonkey IIIIII AM THE BOX GHOST!!]] ''[[CatchPhrase BEWARE!]]''"
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', Will Friedle is clearly getting ''very'' into it whenever his Lion-O recites the famous, "Thunder! ''Thunder!'' '''Thundercats!''' '''''HO!'''''" BattleCry. In fact, it sounds like he's trying to ''roar'' the line more often than not.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Sideshow Mel is all over this trope. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every. Single. Line.]]
** In the episode "Behind the Laughter" during the period where the family split up to pursue solo careers Homer mentions having a short lived stage career where he literally chewed the scenery (as in he ate part of the set).
* Zoe from ''WesternAnimation/{{Littlest Pet Shop|2012}}'' not only chews the scenery, she sets it ''on fire''.
-->"''GAIL'S TRAPPED INSIDE'' '''''THE LARGEST EVER PET SHOP!!!!!'''''"
* Dill from ''WesternAnimation/StickinAround''...actually, scratch that, because saying that he's chewing the scenery would be '''''the {{understatement}} of the CENTURY.'''''
-->"'''''HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MACKEREL!!!!!!!!!!!!'''''"
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''
** Peridot has two sides to her personality: the cold and overly rational DeadpanSnarker side and the hammy side.
--->"''Freedom is MINEEEEEEEEE!!!!''"\\
"'''''DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIED DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!'''''"\\
"Pff, who cares about how SHE feels? '''''WHO CARES ABOUT ANY OF YOU?!!!! YOU'RE ALL JUST ROCKS, RUDDY MUDDY CLODS BENEATH MY GRAVITY CONNECTORS!!!!! GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!!!'''''"
** Pearl also has some moments of this.
--->"WE'LL NEVER ESCAPE!!! '''''THIS IS OUR NEW HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!'''''"\\
"''I'M NOT OVERREACTING!!!!!!!'' '''''GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!!!!!!!!!'''''"\\
"'''''[[BadBadActing Of ALLLLLLLL INDIGNITIES!!!!!!!! Do what you want- I'll NEVER talk!!!]]'''''"
** Ronaldo's full character consists of pure ham. He's a bad case of NoIndoorVoice
--->"Jane!! '''''MY OHIME-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'''''"\\
"'''''YOU CAN'T MAKE UP DRAMA THIS GOOD!!!!!'''''"\\
"''WE'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS THE TRUE POWER OF THE'' '''''SUPREMOOOOOOOOOO!!!!'''''"
* Both Creator/TimCurry and Creator/TressMacNeille in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheWitchsGhost'' as Ben and Sara Ravencroft:
-->'''Ben''': You should SERVE ME!!!!!\\
'''Sara''': I SERVE NO ONE!!!!!!!!!\\
'''Ben''': But I have THE BOOK!!!!! And I will return you back INTO THE BOOK!!!!
** God, almost anything that comes out of Sara's mouth:
--->'''Sara''': FOOLS!!!!!! I SHALL DESTROY THEE!!!!!!!\\
'''Sara''': I WON'T GO BACK '''ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!'''
* Sea Hawk in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has probably significantly lowered Etheria's oceans by ''eating all the islands'' with his overacting. Ironically enough, he's in a more or less confirmed relationship with Mermista, the show's biggest DeadpanSnarker.
-->'''Sea Hawk:''' ''ADVENTURE!''
