14
15[[SelfDemonstratingArticle THIS. IS. DIALOGUE. TRANSFORMED. INTO.]] '''[[SuddenlyShouting SPECTA-]]''' um, sorry about that issue. This is {{dialogue}} [[MundaneMadeAwesome transformed into]] {{spectacle}}. It is normally used in ChewingTheScenery and with accordance to the RuleOfCool, and is a favorite {{handwave}} for AcousticLicense. A person who does this often will come across as a LargeHam or just someone with NoIndoorVoice. Done badly, [[{{Narm}} it can torpedo a dramatic scene]]. Done well, it can be part of a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, although rarely the ''only'' component.
16
17Often it's done with exclamation points to invoke the dramatic power of an emotional character, who's showing that you'd better take him seriously.
18
19For a character who's [[ColdHam cool, calm and unfazed]] (but no less professional and serious) it is done with periods, sometimes to show being serious, others to show whomever just used the exclamation points that [[NoSell they're not impressed]].
20
21Many times invokes the RuleOfThree. If so, can overlap with WorstWhateverEver. Sometimes a part of a SkywardScream or SpellingForEmphasis. If each word is accompanied with an attack then it's a PunctuatedPounding. If the delivery ends with a swear, then it's ThisIsForEmphasisBitch.
22
23A frequent variant, notably in AnimeAndManga, is when a [[AlwaysFemale female character]] articulates the end of a sentence on a quiet, seductive tone to tease a male one ([[SayItWithHearts heart optional]]). Just. Like. This. โ™ก
24
25Often leads to the line [[MemeticMutation becoming memetic.]] An interesting experiment is to go on a MemeticMutation page and see how many of the entries ''aren't'' due to ChewingTheScenery, Punctuated! For! Emphasis!, or hilarious {{Narm}} (often because of the other two).

84
85[[folder:Pin! BALL!]]
86* Early "talking" solid-state {{Pinball}} games could only talk this way, often combining it with MachineMonotone and MadLibsDialogue. With a few years, however,, it was now possible to include longer recorded voice samples, making this trope's use strictly an artistic choice.
87* ''Pinball/{{Gorgar}}'' was the first commercially-release talking pinball.

98[[/folder]]
99
100[[folder:Pod! CASTS!]]
101* ''Podcast/RiffTrax'' makes fun of this trope, especially while riffing 300.
102-->'''Bill Corbett:''' Well, I think he certainly proved that THIS! IS! SPARTA!\
103'''Mike Nelson:''' Yeah, his kids make fun of him cause when he's handing out stuff on the 4th of July he insists on saying, "THIS! IS! A SPARKLER!"\
104'''Kevin Murphy:''' Or, when he's giving his car a tune-up and his kid asks, "Hey Dad, what's that small white thing with the metal at each end?" he always replies "THIS! IS! A SPARKPLUG!"\
105'''Bill Corbett:''' Or, when he sits down to a meal of juice, toast, milk, and Trix cereal...\
106'''Mike Nelson:''' Uh-oh, where's he going with this?\
107'''Bill Corbett:''' And he looks at his bowl of Trix and he says, "THIS! IS! SPART OF A BALANCED BREAKFAST!"\
108'''Kevin Murphy:''' Wow!\
109'''Mike Nelson:''' You pulled it off; nicely done!\
110'''Bill Corbett:''' Thank you very much.
111** Later, there's "This! Is! Dinner!"
112** And in the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' Rifftrax, "THIS! IS! Forks High School: Home of the SPARTANS!"
113[[/folder]]
114
115[[folder:Professional! WRESTLING!]]
116* Being filled with barely-dressed super-manly-men, ProfessionalWrestling has a number of examples:
117** Wrestling/ShaneDouglas: And [[Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance they]]... can all... KISS! MY!! ASS!!!
118** And tomorrow night, [[Wrestling/CarleneMoore Jazz]] will ''KICK''! YOUR! ASS!
119** Vince [=McMahon=]'s "YOU'RE! FIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!"
120** Whenever [[Wrestling/DGenerationX DX]] is together, Wrestling/TripleH is bound to ask the crowd if they're ready. Then, he'll clarify for them that he did, in fact, ask "ARE?! YOU?! REEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAADY?!?!"
121** After the requisite Michael Buffer schtick was concluded, Shawn Michaels would without fail conclude with this exchange.
122-->Shawn: "And if you're not down with that, then we got TWO! WORDS! FOR YAAAAAAA!!"
123-->Crowd: "SUUUCK IIIIIIT!!!!"
124** Triple H would like to tell you that "I!! AM!! THE GAME!! And I AM! THAT! DAMN!! GOOD!!!"
125** "THE HEART! BREAK! KID! [[Wrestling/ShawnMichaels SHAWN! MICHAELS!]] LAYS DOWN! FOR ABSOLUTELY! NOBODY!!!"
126** Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage's catchphrase back in Wrestling/{{WCW}}: "You will FEEL! THE! BANG!"
127** Used by Pro Wrestler Wrestling/TheUndertaker, though he doesn't shout each word so much as he treats each one like its own sentence. Oh, and he draws the last one. "Rest. In. PEACE."
128** Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin: "OH! HELL! YEAH!"
129** "RAW! IS! [[Wrestling/ChrisJericho JERICHO]]!"
130** Wrestling/BookerT:
131*** FIVE TIME!! FIVE TIME!! FIVE TIME!! WCW CHAMPION BOOKER T!!
132*** You didn't say that. Tell me...you did NOT...just say that!
133*** NOW! CAN! YOU! DIG! THAT!? '''''SUUUUUCCCCCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!'''''
134** "[[Wrestling/RobVanDam ROB! VAN! DAM!]]"
135*** He punctuates this by pointing both of his thumbs at himself.
136** BECAUSE I'M Wrestling/{{THE MIZ}}! AND I'M! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEESOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMME!!!!!!
137** Wrestling/RandyOrton will. Do. This. Quite. OFTEN~! Got a problem? Then meet the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment history: [[FinishingMove R. K.]]--[[Wrestling/MattRiddle BRO!]]
138** Fighting out of GREEN...BAY...WIS-CON-SIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN...is [[Wrestling/KenAnderson MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... Kennedy]]. Kennedy.
139*** He's now MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... Anderson
140** Wrestling/{{Kane}} during Wrestling/TheUndertaker's ({{kayfabe}}) funeral in 2010: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKbI_mdhPQE THERE! WILL! BE! VENGEANCE!]]"
141** Wrestling/{{Batista}} couldn't believe Wrestling/JohnCena would STOOP! THAT! LOW! and resort to [[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]] to win their Last Man Standing match.
142** Two examples from Wrestling/MichaelCole: "NOT! THIS! WAAAAY! NOT! THIS! WAAAAY! DAMMIT!!!" And of course, to our collective chagrin, "AND! I! QUOTE!"
143** IF! YOU! SMEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL... WHAT [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson THE ROCK]]! IS! COOKIN'!!!
144** Wrestling/JackSwagger's "WE! THE PEOPLE!"
145** Brother Love:
146-->"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!"[[note]]"But that doesn't mean I LIKE you!" (He didn't always say this line, however.)[[/note]]
147** Wrestling/ShawnMichaels did not sleep with that young intern. As a matter of fact, he was "UP! ALL! NIGHT!".
148** "I'm...going...full...force!"[[note]]"Jumpin' Jeff Farmer. Now let's go to the ring."[[/note]]
149** When introducing his [[Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling NJPW]] stable, Wrestling/TetsuyaNaito always ends with "Nosotros [[Wrestling/LosIngobernablesDeJapon Los Ingobernables DE!! JA!! Pร“N!!!]]
150** This trope is also present as part of Wrestling/JoeyStyles' [[WorkedShoot rant]] before leaving WWE: "WWE...CALLED '''ME!''' I didn't call this company because I needed a job. I didn't need a job. WWE...CALLED ME!"
151** Wrestling/EnzoAndCass have only ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOU! AND THEY'RE GONNA SPELL! IT! OUT! FOR YOU: S-A-W-F-T! SAWFT!" But before that, Enzo introduces himself with this trope in effect: "MY NAME IS ENZO AMORE, AND I AM A CERTIFIED G AND A BONAFIDE STUD! '''AND YOU CAN'T! TEACH! THAT!'''" With Big Cass in tow, he also adds "AND THIS RIGHT HERE? THIS IS BIG CASS, AND HE'S 7-FOOT-TALL! '''AND YOU CAN'T! TEACH! THAT!'''"
152** Wrestling/BraunStrowman:
153*** I'M! NOT! FINISHED WITH YOU!

164--->'''Cookie Monster:''' EAT! TRUCK!
165[[/folder]]
166
167[[folder:RAโ€ฆ DIโ€ฆ O!]]
168* From ''Radio/AdventuresInOdyssey'': During the "Darkness Before Dawn" arc, [[TheAtoner Richard Maxwell]] crosses paths with middle-management villain "Jellyfish". After being kept in jail about half a year longer than his sentence should have lasted, he isn't happy. As such, he informs him that apart from cleaning up his act, one thing hasn't changed:
169-->''"I. Never. Forget."''
170* From the classic Barbara Frum interview on the CBC Radio show ''Radio/AsItHappens'': [[http://archives.cbc.ca/lifestyle/pastimes/clips/2087/ "WHAT! DID! YOU! FEED! THE! GODDAMN! CABBAGE?!?!"]]
171* ''Radio/BleakExpectations'': Pip Bin when his wife reminds him of the nursery rhyme "Undead Georgie felt no pain/Til Isabella [[RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain destroyed his brain]]":
172-->'''Pip:''' What the ''hell''. Kind of ''nursery rhyme''. Is '''''THAT?'''''
173* Radio/BobAndRay's "Slow Talkers of America" skit offers a nifty subversion of the trope, in that it's the relentless ''lack'' of drama that eventually sends the interviewer over the edge:
174-->'''Bob:''' ''(as president Harlow P. Whitcomb)'' ... the STOA... the Slow...\
175'''Ray:''' Talkers of America, right. Now, you--\
176'''Bob:''' ... Talkers...\
177'''Ray:''' Of America!\

180'''Bob:''' ... America.
181* ''Radio/CabinPressure'': "IT'S! A! CAKE!" (loud SPLAT!)
182* ''Radio/JourneyIntoSpace'': At the beginning of every episode, a voice -- either Guy Kingsley Poynter (Doc) or David Jacobs -- intones "JOURNEY. INTO. SPACE!"
183* ''Radio/LightsOut'': "It...is...later...than...you...think!"
184* ''Radio/LoZooDi105'': The usual response to Herbert's lame puns.
185--> ''"THAT'S! NOT! FUUUUUUNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"''
186* Creator/{{NPR}}'s ''On The Media'' with Brooke Gladstone and Bob Garfield always ends with:
187-->'''Bob Garfield:''' "And edited...by...Brooke".
188* ''Radio/XMinusOne'': The show's title would be announced as "X! MINUS! ONE!".
189[[/folder]]

191[[folder:Role! PLAYS!]]
192* ''Roleplay/GoThroughTheAlphabetBeforeSomebodyPostsAMyLittlePonyPicture'': STOP. RIGHT. THERE.
193* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' has two instances of this:
194** [[spoiler:John Rizzolo]]:[[http://z10.invisionfree.com/SOTF_V2/index.php?showtopic=2760&view=findpost&p=14090745 "YOU! MAXIE! EVERYONE!"]]

196** And now three as of the start of v4, courtesy of [[spoiler:Roland Hayes]]: [[http://s10.zetaboards.com/SOTF_V2/single/?p=8630438&t=7283208 "HIGH SCHOOL! KIDNAPPING! TV! FOUR FUCKING TIMES!"]]

210** Earlier, Galinda said to Elphaba, "You. will. be. POPULAR!"
211* ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'': SO!!! IT IS TO BE WAR!!! BETWEEN US!!!
212** And then there's Raoul with his CallBack to that line: "...but this time, clever friend, the disaster--WILL! BE!! '''YOURS!!!'''" ''Phantom'' contains relatively few spoken lines, but its [[{{Melodrama}} melodramatic]] roots mean an unusual proportion of those that exist can be delivered in this fashion.
213* ''Theatre/AnyoneCanWhistle'': "NOW -- POINT -- ONE!" This and several similar exclamations include the same musical {{Sting}}s and vamp to fade.
214* ''Literature/{{Carrie}} the Musical'': "He! Will! Burn! You!"

236** In the [=SBemail=] "[[Recap/StrongBadEmailE166Unnatural unnatural]]", King Bubsgonzola Supreme's roars turn out to be Bubs shouting "Don't! Eat! Mah! CHICKEN WIIIIIINGS!" [[ResizedVocals slowed-down]].
