When a work is populated by more than one LargeHam, and at least two get a scene together, it will usually turn into Ham-to-Ham Combat, where they try to out-overdramatic each other. The scene can become either [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny really funny]] or [[{{Narm}} really corny]], and ''really fast''. If it goes too far, it may reach a [[AWorldwidePunomenon Hormel Event Horizon]].

* SylvesterStallone and Ricardo Montalban were archnemeses in SpyKids 3. They knew exactly what kind of movie they were in. They enjoyed themselves.

*** Wouldn't that be a [[IncrediblyLamePun Mexican ham-off]]?

* Frequently seen in high school drama classes, both on stage, and even more often it will happen when participating in improvisation games.

When a work is populated by more than one LargeHam, and at least two get a scene together, it will usually turn into HamToHamCombat, where they try to out-overdramatic each other. The scene can become either [[CrowningMomentOfFunny really funny]] or [[{{Narm}} really corny]], and ''really fast''. If it goes too far, it may reach a [[IncrediblyLamePun Hormel Event Horizon]].

Note that they do ''not'' have to be enemies. It can be the BigBad and TheDragon trying to out-[[EvilLaugh Evil-Laugh]] each other, or a pair of heroes spouting {{Bond One Liner}}s as they mow down the {{Mook}}s. The point is that their screen presences and overacting are competing.

Compare WorldOfHam.

-->'''Simon:''' Take this! Finishing move! [[spoiler: Super Tengen Toppa]]... Giga... ''Drill''... ''BREAKER!!''
-->[[spoiler:'''Anti Spiral:''' Interesting! Then; Anti Spiral... Giga... ''Drill''... ''BREAKER!!'']]

* The fight between Alex Louis Armstrong and Olivier Armstrong to take over the family mansion in ''FullmetalAlchemist'', [[CrowningMomentOfFunny expanded hilariously]] in ''Brotherhood''.

* Pretty much every card game in the ''YuGiOh'' series.

* The final 15 minutes of ''{{Akira}}'': "TetSUOOOOOOOOO!" "KaneDAAAAAA!"

* As quoted above, in the JudgeDredd movie, Dredd, as an over-the-top police officer and Rico, as an over-the-top villain [[LargeHam ham it up]] throughout the entire movie. When they finally meet near the end, though, the pork hits the fan.

* ''AFewGoodMen'': "YOU WANT ANSWERS?!" "I WANT THE ''TRUTH''!" "'''YOU CAN'T ''HANDLE'' THE TRUTH!'''"
* ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', in the first movie where Barbossa and Jack Sparrow face off with each other, and really, whenever they share a scene at any time in the film trilogy.
** By the third movie, pretty much everyone is trying to out-ham the other, including Hans Zimmer, the sound-track composer.

* The LiveActionAdaptation of ''JosieAndThePussycats'' has a scene where ParkerPosey and AlanCumming try to out-laugh each other. Out-EvilLaugh each other, to be exact.
* WilliamShatner says that scenes in ''StarTrek: The Undiscovered Country'' between him and Christopher Plummer were like "two ham-asauruses".
** In the Rifftrax of the same film, when Iman turns into William shatner in one scene, a joke is made that William Shatner is trying to out-Ham ''himself''.

* Both literally and figuratively, Alan Rickman vs. Kenneth Branagh in the dueling scene in ''HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets''.

** Well, it kind of goes without saying that this trope would be applied quite liberally in ''FlashGordon'', what with Prince Vultan being played by [+ [[BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED!]]+ ]
* The Duke and Zilder in MoulinRouge, most noticeable in the "Like a Virgin" scene.
* Charles Laughton and Peter Ustinov in ''{{Spartacus}}''. Proof positive that Hamdom does not-- [+ [[BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED!]]+ ]
* In another literal example, John Travolta vs. Nicholas Cage in ''FaceOff.''

* Very interestingly averted in ''ThePrincessBride''. When Cary Elwes and Chris Sarandon finally meet, it looks like they're about to engage in HamToHamCombat, but Elwes' character instead instantly defeats the prince with his classic ToThePain speech.

* In the 1936 KatherineHepburn and Fredric March film ''Film/MaryOfScotland'', the ''entire cast'' seems to be engaged in HamToHamCombat, with the possible exception of John Carradine, who during filming once said to "Katherine of Arrogance," who had expressed a desire to play both [[MaryOfScotland Mary Queen Of Scots]] and [[TheVirginQueen Queen Elizabeth I]], "If you did that, how would you know which queen to upstage?"
** If John Carradine is the ''least'' hammy member of your cast, something has GoneHorriblyWrong. Or maybe [[GoneHorriblyRight right.]]
* WilliamShatner and ErnestBorgnine commenced Hammification against each other in the SoBadItsGood ReligiousHorror flick, ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072869/ The Devil's Rain.]]''
* Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes as Zeus and Hades, respectively, in the 2010 remake of ''ClashOfTheTitans''. Any time they are onscreen together (or hell, onscreen with any other actor). No exceptions.
* ''BatmanForever'' buries the needle on the Ham-o-meter when Tommy Lee Jones (Two-Face) and Jim Carrey (The Riddler), [[strike:appear in the same movie]] team up in the middle of the movie. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7WornrF-gs Observe]].
** Let's not forget Danny De Vito (The Penguin) and Michelle Pfeifer (Catwoman) in ''BatmanReturns'', or Arnold Schwarzenneger (Mr. Freeze) and Uma Thurman (Poison Ivy) in ''BatmanAndRobin''. Then again, it is [[IncrediblyLamePun Got Ham City]].
* Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz in ''InglouriousBasterds''. Both are massive Hams stealing the attention of any scene they are in separately, and when they meet at the end there is clear competition.
* Malcolm [=McDowell=] is tough to outham, but Lori Petty manages to match him in ''TankGirl''.
* In an outtake from ''LiarLiar'', the opposing attorney defeats Jim Carry in a shouting match with the accusation: "[[LampshadeHanging Overactor!]]"

* The scene with Lynch and Pike in the car together in ''TheATeam'' movie screams of this. It's clear they're both just having fun with the movie, and then they get in a conversation together...

* A scene in ''{{Friends}}'' has Joey and Gary Oldman devolving into one of these as both attempt to spit more in their dialogue.
* ''DoctorWho'' is a bastion of Ham to Ham Combat.

*** "The Five Doctors", between Richard Hurndall replacing Hartnell, Troughton, and Pertwee, with [[PeterDavison Peter Davison's]] Fifth Doctor positively restrained in comparison. Extra ham from Anthony Ainley as the Master and Richard Mathews as Rassilon.

*** "Time Crash", 7 minutes of non-stop hamming from DavidTennant (Tenth Doctor) and Peter Davison.
*** Even "The Next Doctor", while not a true multi-Doctor story, has David Morrissey out-hamming Tennant.

** There's a truly spectacular ham-off between Colin Baker and [+ [[BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED]]+ ] in Trial Of A Time Lord (episodes 5-8). No wonder Peri (Nicola Bryant) left the show after this; it would be physically impossible to be exposed to such overwhelming hammy glory for more than five minutes without ending up either dead or pregnant.

** Don't forget showdowns between the Doctor and the Master. ''Any'' of them.

-->'''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Devastation]]''': That was your lesson for today! Your homework: Feel the emotion that rages within you. It is called--FEEEEEEEEAR! [Best if imagined in Macho Man Randy Savage's voice.]

* Ham to Ham Combat was really the basis of Hawkeye and Trapper's (later B.J.) whole relationship in ''[=~M* A* S* H~=]''. This was as much their characters desperately trying to deflect the horror around them with silly puns, as it was Alda, Rogers, and Farrel having altogether too much fun working together.
* [[BabylonFive Londo and G'Kar,]] pretty much every time they met in the first couple of seasons led to a spectacular argument with actors Peter Jurasik and Andreas Katsulas trying to out-ham each other.

* The British impressions show ''DeadRingers'' had a [[RunningGag repeated sketch]] in which Ian [=McKellen=] and Alan Rickman battled it out in HamToHamCombat for token British bad guy roles. They were inevitably blown out of the water by a [[IncomingHam dramatic entrance]] from [+ [[BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED!!]]+ ].

* On [[{{ptitleolsdue4jfzga}} 30 Rock]] whenever occasional guest star Will Arnett's character [[HoYay gets into it]] with Jack Donaghy.
-->'''Devon''': I'm honestly not trying to make this sound gay.
-->'''Jack''': No one is, it's just happening.

* StephenColbert vs. SteveCarell on an episode of TheColbertReport . Even [[TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]] gets in on the action. [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/340910/july-07-2010/steve-carell Behold.]]

* This is part of why the rivalry between [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]] and Stone Cold Steve Austin was so fun to watch. (The other was that the men were good friends in real life and relished the opportunity to give the other a good-natured ribbing.)

* In a recorded production of JekyllAndHyde starring DavidHasselhoff as the eponymous character(s), he's at his highest level of ham in the climactic song Confrontation. Why is that an example of this trope? Because Jekyll and Hyde both sing that song. That's right, The Hoff can have HamToHamCombat with [[CrazyAwesome HIMSELF]].

-->'''Irenicus''': "Once my lust for power was everything, but now I hunger only for revenge, AND I. SHALL. HAVE IT!"
-->'''Minsc''': "I am tired of shouting battle-cries at this mage! Boo will finish his eyeballs once and for all so that he does not rise again! EVIL! MEET MY SWORD! SWORD! MEEET EEEEVIIIIL!"

** ''Metal Gear Solid:'' Ocelot, Grey Fox, Vulcan Raven, Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, LIQUID!
** ''Metal Gear Solid 2:'' OCELOT!, Vamp, Fortune, Fat Man, Solidus.
** ''Metal Gear Solid 3:'' Ocelot, Boss, Volgin, THE PAIN!, the Fear, the Fury.
** ''Metal Gear Solid 4:'' Snake, Ocelot, Raiden, Vamp, Laughing Octopus, Raging Raven, Screaming Mantis.

* At the end of the level "The Covenant" in ''[[{{Halo}} Halo 3]]'', the Arbiter, Gravemind, and The Prophet of Truth all have a scene together. Truth's participation ends with;
-->'''Truth''': I! Am! Truuth! The ''vooiiice'' of the '''Covenant!'''
-->'''Arbiter''': And so, you must be silenced. (Stab)

--> Now the gate has been unlatched, headstones pushed aside! Corpses shift and offer room, a fate you must '''ABIDE!'''

* ''TeamFortress2''. A better selection of fine military-grade ham you are not likely to find. While the [[BoisterousBruiser Heavy]] ([[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/c/c3/Heavy_specialcompleted10_Waaaaaaaahhh%2C_uwaaaaaaaaaaahhh!.wav "YEAAAAAH!

You are also ugly!"]] [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/f/f7/Medic_specialcompleted10.wav "Oops! That was not medicine!"]] [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/1/17/Medic_taunts16.wav "A-ha-ha!

Even the ''[[TheUnintelligible Pyro]]'' has hammy-sounding muffled grunts and a truly porcine interpretation of a [[StarWars Tusken Raider]]. The least hammy are the [[TheEngineer Engineer]] and the [[MagnificentBastard Spy]], but even those two can have their moments.

* Shadow vs Mephiles in ''{{Sonic2006}}''. Mephiles spends his sweet time chewing the scenery while Shadow tries to [[ShutUpHannibal Shut Him Up.]]

* In ''{{Kickassia}}'', very much a WorldOfHam, TheNostalgiaCritic and TheSpoonyOne have a particularly {{egregious}} example of this at the beginning of part 2. It stands out against all of the other extremely hammy cast members, and that says something.

* Anybody going against [[InvaderZim Zim]] will inevitably be involved in one of these, although Tak is probably one of the best examples.

* Frequently seen in high school drama classes, both on stage, and even more often it will happen when participating in improvisation games.

** Those two don't need ham. A short "Oh dear, I made quite a mess" is more effective than anything else in the game. Especially if you just got stabbed...
** The Engineer's EvilLaugh does wonders whenever he breaks it out, and additionally his subdued "[[http://tf2wiki.net/w/images/3/3c/Engineer_specialcompleted09.wav I told you don't touch that darn thing]]" still manages to be hammy.

YOU are not WELCOME in MY WORLD!") and the [[ViolentGlaswegian Demoman]] ("I'm gonna stick me ''thumbs'' in yer ''eyes'' and hang on 'til ye'r ''dead!''") are the obvious choices, we also have the [[FragileSpeedster Scout]] ("BONK!"

Why is that an example of this trope? Because Jekyll and Hyde both sing that song. That's right, The Hoff can have HamToHamCombat with HIMSELF.

* ''{{Wicked}}'' has a scene set almost immediately after Dorothy leaves munchkinland in ''WizardOfOz'' where Elphaba and Glinda begin bickering and eventually catfight. Now, Glinda is miscast if she's not a LargeHam but the special treat in this scene is the actress playing Elphaba beginning to ham it up as well. It's also the last comic scene in the show too, so the actresses clearly like to have fun with it.
