When a work is populated by more than one Large Ham, and at least two get a scene together, it will usually turn into Ham-to-Ham Combat, where they try to out-over dramatic each other. The scene can become either really funny or really corny, or both, and really fast. Note that they do not have to be enemies. It can be the Big Bad and The Dragon trying to out-evil-laugh each other, or a pair of heroes spouting Bond One Liners as they mow down the Mooks. The point is that their screen presences and overacting are competing. Compare World of Ham. If they're villains trying to creep each other out, that's Eviler than Thou. Bigot vs. Bigot is when these characters are not only hammy, but extremely opinionated as well. Contrast Snark-to-Snark Combat. |

Megamind and Metro Man engage in a lot of this Megamind. In their final battle, they have an extended sequence in which Megamind comments "In case you haven't noticed, you've fallen right into my trap," to which Metro Man replies "You can't trap justice. It's an idea, a belief," and Megamind replies "Even the most heartfelt belief can be corroded over time," and so on, and so forth. Eventually, non-stereotypical Damsel in Distress Roxanne Ritchie interrupts to tell them "Girls, you're both pretty" and ask if she can go home now. Later in the film, when Megamind creates Titan as a new hero to fight because of his And Then What? boredom, he's confused when Titan won't engage in this with him and instead has him Talk to the Fist. | |

Alan Rickman versus Ralph Fiennes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, at the very beginning. Interestingly enough, rather than go the whole nine yards with their roles ("NYEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!" and "POTTER!" respectively), they seemed to be having a contest about who could be the most subdued while still being the most dramatic. At several points, Fiennes even uses dramatic pauses like Rickman is famous for. | |

Channel Awesome: Apparently it's some kind of employment requirement for Channel Awesome to be able to ham it up when necessary. And sometimes when it's not, too. In Kickassia, very much a World of Ham, The Nostalgia Critic and The Spoony One 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. The battle between Nostalgia Critic and Dr. Insano is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Haminess. Played With in The Nostalgia Critic's review of Dungeons & Dragons (2000), when he ordained a contest between Profion's hammy overacting and the Empress' quiet underacting. Ultimately he decided they both sucked equally. And again in The Langoliers, when the very hammy villain gets into an argument with a hallucination of his equally hammy father; the Critic decided to give them points based on how far their mouths opened while screaming. The ham continues and escalates in To Boldly Flee as we get scenes with General Zod (played by Doug Walker) Mechakara (played by Lewis Lovhaug) and Terl (played by Noah Antwiler). It is pure, unfiltered pork. Lindsay, Elisa and Nella go all out with each other in the Dark Nella Saga. Nella just about wins through Evil Is Hammy, but the other women put up a surprisingly good fight. Linkara's crossover with Spoony to review Warrior #2 and #3 causes Insano versions of much of the Channel Awesome crew at the time to manifest at the end of the review and start fighting each other whilst taking advantage of the opportunity to gleefully overact. Special mentions go to Dr. InsanJoe, who channels Emperor Palpatine's over the top gesturing, and Dr. Bearsano, who in spite of being a teddy bear riding atop a mind-controlled Benzaie, manages to overact for two without actually speaking. |

In Umineko: When They Cry, Ham To Ham Combat is actual combat! Battler and Beatrice (and more characters later) launch theories and arguments at each other, full with Giving Someone the Pointer Finger, Laser Blades and red and blue flashes at each sentence. And it only gets hammier with each Episode. Except Episode 7, but that's only because Battler and Beatrice aren't in that one. | |

Gotham is a live-action Batman show full of comic-book gimmicks and villains. Hamtastic showdowns are inevitable. Putting Penguin and Riddler in a room together, especially when they're feuding, will usually result in a titan clash of egos. Even when they're not arguing, they still tend to overwhelm every other character on screen with their Suddenly Shouting and Hair-Trigger Temper tendencies. Barbara and Fish Mooney are also good sources of this, especially when paired with one of the above two characters. |

Batman Begins makes this a plot point; Ducard teaches Bruce Wayne that theatricality can be a powerful weapon, and Bruce Wayne, the character, starts Chewing the Scenery to intimidate criminals. He ends up facing Dr. Jonathan Crane, who dresses up as Scarecrow and uses similar tactics. The Dark Knight follows the same concept; Bale vs. Ledger is going on, but Batman vs. Joker is ham to ham combat in the story. | |

Judge Dredd. Dredd, as an over-the-top police officer, and Rico, as an over-the-top villain, ham it up throughout the entire movie. When they finally meet near the end, though, the pork hits the fan, culminating in the dialogue quoted atop this page. Justified, in that they are revealed to be long-separated twins. Clones, actually. | |

The Muppet Show: Miss Piggy, as you would expect, is a reigning champion at these kind of scenes. The most literal example is probably Piggy and fellow pig Link Hogthrob trying to upstage each other while performing "La Ci Darem La Mano" from Don Giovanni in faux-Wagnerian Viking outfits. Some of the human guest stars attempted to go one-on-one with the Muppets. A few of them - through training, conviction, and presumably two days of fasting to make room for all the scenery they had to chew - even managed it, such as Zero Mostel mocking Sam the Eagle behind his back or John Cleese whenever his in-character temper ran out, which was often. For the musical equivalent, both Buddy Rich and Harry Belafonte took on Animal in drum battles. Both survived, narrowly. |

Mommie Dearest is infamous for Faye Dunaway gobbling up scenery as a mean and abusive Joan Crawford. Once the daughter grows up, Diana Scarwid tries to overact as much as Dunaway, running the whole gamut from "Tranquil Fury" to "screaming her lungs out". | |

In the film version of Arsenic and Old Lace, director Frank Capra told Cary Grant and Raymond Massey to go wild on camera. The result is Grant playing the dashing yet hapless hero Mortimer to the scenery-chewing maximum, while Raymond Massey plays his psychotic older brother Jonathan in reverent homage to Boris Karloff whom his character is supposed to resemble. | |

Wicked has a scene set almost immediately after Dorothy leaves munchkinland in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz where Elphaba and Glinda begin bickering and eventually catfight. Now, Glinda is miscast if she's not a Large Ham 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. | |

The argument between Severus Snape and Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix escalates quickly into childish name-calling. Considering both characters are scene-stealing and bombastic on their own, the fact that they have a scene together at all should make the wizarding world explode. Just imagine if the scene had been in the movie. | |

The Dark Knight Trilogy: Batman Begins makes this a plot point; Ducard teaches Bruce Wayne that theatricality can be a powerful weapon, and Bruce Wayne, the character, starts Chewing the Scenery to intimidate criminals. He ends up facing Dr. Jonathan Crane, who dresses up as Scarecrow and uses similar tactics. The Dark Knight follows the same concept; Bale vs. Ledger is going on, but Batman vs. Joker is ham to ham combat in the story. The Dark Knight: Christian Bale vs. Heath Ledger as Batman and the Joker. And then, in The Dark Knight Rises, there's Batman vs. Bane, whose nature is also rather hammy. |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: The latest thus far is Goku vs Frieza. The latter loses his cool the more Goku demonstrates his stupidity by being oblivious of Frieza's insults and making random shouts at each other. Frieza finally snaps and goes all Large Ham and so does Goku upon becoming Super Saiyan. Recoome spends his sweet time boasting and yelling in his fight with Vegeta, who in turn tried to shut him up, right after they had a theme song introduction. Ginyu vs Goku. Impressive considering the fight was only seen for a few seconds. Ginyu compliments Goku's skill in battle whereas Goku comments on his skin color (purple). |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor: L.A.M. gives us a celestial-level Ham-to-Ham Combat when the Norse gods took it to scenery eating levels. During the banishment scene, arguably the scene featuring this trope, Hopkins takes this to new levels when he inexplicably barks at Loki. (This has become a meme among the fandom. "HAAAAWWWWWRRRRR!") Avengers: Infinity War: When the Guardians of the Galaxy rescue Thor, Quill attempts to reassert his authority as most of his team is entirely subjugated by Thor's appearance (and Rocket is snickering at him losing it), including a failed attempt at making his voice more dramatic.

Shadow of the Conqueror: Daylen and Ahrek occasionally get into this. Ahrek is usually calm, but he's capable of matching Daylen shout for shout. After Ahrek helps Daylen escape the custody of the Archknights, Ahrek and Lyrah positively pommel each other, with Lyrah even giving him the in-universe equivalent of the Precision F-Strike. They agree to have Lyrah join the group to keep track of Daylen shortly afterwards, but nobody is happy about it, especially not Daylen. Daylen and Lyrah are both such Hot-Blooded Determinators that their first few conversations are practically endurance matches until their related psychological issues force them to retreat to their rooms to recover. |

Stargate SG-1: Put two System Lords in a room together, and this is the inevitable result. It helps that their voices are extremely deep and they often like to display their Glowing Eyes of Doom. Or put Anubis (who takes the traits of your average System Lord to extremes) up against President Henry Hayes, who goes full confident folksy politician. While relatively subdued compared to Anubis, after their conversation is over he asks his staff "Did I overdo it?" |

Then there was the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Rules of Engagement". In the red corner: Avery Brooks as Ben Sisko, one of the few Starfleet captains who could give Kirk a run for his money. In the blue corner, Ron Canada as targ-acting Klingon Amoral Attorney Ch'pok. Given that the judge was a Vulcan, and thus unlikely to be swayed by mere volume, presumably they were trying to intimidate each other. | |

The Colbert Report: Stephen Colbert vs. Steve Carell. Even Jon Stewart gets in on the action. Behold! In a similar vein, Colbert squared up with Papa Bear O'Reilly on an episode of The O'Reilly Factor. It was Colbert with his energetic antics versus O'Reilly and his legendary Snark. The battle was truly legendary. |

Star Trek: In just about every episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, William Shatner brings enough ham to the table to feed a small nation. But in "The Doomsday Machine", he meets his match in Captain Matt Decker. Shatner wisely chose not to engage Ham-to-Ham with William Windom. His performance is for the most part very subdued, making Decker look even more deranged. The TOS episode "Whom Gods Destroy" featured a veritable clash of the titans between Shatner and Steve Ihnat. When Inhat's character disguises himself as Kirk (and is thus played by Shatner) it's a miracle that the universe didn't collapse in on itself. About Shatner: look at most of the big-name guest appearances on most of his shows. Basically, Shatner is the Iron Ham, and any show he's on automatically becomes Ham Arena. Presumably, it's every actor's dream to go Ham-to-Ham vs. Shatner. On Star Trek: The Next Generation, Ambassador Sarek comes aboard the Enterprise — and brings aboard a Hate Plague in the form of Bendii Syndrome, a degenerative disease causing him to lose his emotional control. Coupled with Vulcan telepathy, it causes him to inadvertently project bursts of anger onto random people, leading to such disturbances as a Bar Brawl and a shouting match between Picard and Riker on The Bridge. Then there was the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Rules of Engagement". In the red corner: Avery Brooks as Ben Sisko, one of the few Starfleet captains who could give Kirk a run for his money. In the blue corner, Ron Canada as targ-acting Klingon Amoral Attorney Ch'pok. Given that the judge was a Vulcan, and thus unlikely to be swayed by mere volume, presumably they were trying to intimidate each other. As if that wasn't ham-tastic enough, "Waltz" provides Sisko's next major competitor: former Cardassian ruler (i.e., Dominion pawn) Gul Dukat, driven insane by the loss of both his conquest of the Alpha Quadrant and his daughter, Ziyal. And just to make it an even bigger ham sandwich, hallucinations of Kira, Weyoun, and Damar take turns screwing with what's left of his mind. If they hadn't been able to escape the uninhabited planet they were stranded on, they could've feasted on their own ham for the rest of their lives. Star Trek: Voyager: Much of "Message In A Bottle" is made up of two cantankerous EMHs arguing with each other. |

In a recorded production of Jekyll & Hyde starring David Hasselhoff 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 Ham-to-Ham Combat with HIMSELF. | |

Chicago: The climactic scene of the original play note not the musical is a contest between Billy and Roxie to decide who can do more to guilt the jury into exonerating her.

30 Rock: Whenever occasional guest star Will Arnett's character gets into it with Jack Donaghy. Lampshaded by Liz Lemon when she affects a deep, gravelly, "intimidating" voice and asks if they're going to have a "talking-like-this contest". One episode has Jack encounter an Identical Stranger, meaning Alec Baldwin tries to out-ham himself. |

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. | |

RuPaul's Drag Race runs on this trope. In addition to the Passive-Aggressive Kombat and screaming matches between drag queens that make up a normal episode, the two worst contestants in a challenge are forced into a "Lip Synch for your LIFE!" dance-off. The backstage companion series RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked has also become notorious for its bitchfights, though past contestants have admitted that, at least in the earlier seasons, they were getting drunk off endless free cocktails during the Untucked portion. Eventually, production limited the queens to only two drinks, but this didn't entirely stop the fighting: | |

Really, any "good" match. Professional Wrestling is built on a solid foundation of PURE HAM. Promo confrontations between feuding wrestlers literally are an undiluted form of this trope. And in the setups to multi-man matches like the Elimination Chamber or Money in the Bank, you'll inevitably get a scene where every participant in the match comes out to cut a promo at the same time. | |

Star Trek II. William Shatner on one starship, Ricardo Montalbán on the other, spending the entire film blasting the crap out of each other while shaking the galaxy with their thunderous overacting. Via video link — they never share a room with each other. Scream it with me now: KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! Shatner and Montalban never even met on set; they filmed their roles months apart and were hamming it up with (mostly) the script girl who was reading their counterpart's lines. | |

In Hook, two very large hams (Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman) chew the scenery to pieces in their individual scenes (which takes place in a World of Ham), but when they come together for battle, it's magic. | |

Thor: L.A.M. gives us a celestial-level Ham-to-Ham Combat when the Norse gods took it to scenery eating levels. During the banishment scene, arguably the scene featuring this trope, Hopkins takes this to new levels when he inexplicably barks at Loki. (This has become a meme among the fandom. "HAAAAWWWWWRRRRR!") | |

Invader Zim: Anybody going against Zim will inevitably be involved in one of these, although Tak is probably one of the best examples. Dib vs. Zim is an odd aversion: while both are accomplished Large Hams in their own right, whenever they have a scene together one or the other will generally fall into a more subdued Straight Man role...generally. | |

The Princess Bride: Very interestingly averted: when Cary Elwes and Chris Sarandon finally meet, it looks like they're about to engage in ham-to-ham combat, but Elwes' character instead instantly defeats the prince with his classic To the Pain speech. The "Battle Of Wits" between Cary Elwes and Wallace Shawn, however, definitely qualifies. Which is rather a bit of a subversion as well, because Cary Elwes subdues his part quite a bit while Wallace Shawn, well... |

Pirates of the Caribbean: 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. Which makes perfect sense that the next film's focus is around Jack and Barbossa. Because like the first film proved, how can one not have fun watching Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, two of the finest actors alive, having a ham contest in pirate garb and dialogue? Then after that, another ham steps in: |

Drowtales, due to being set in a World of Ham. Just about anytime a fight gets serious you can expect this. Quain'tana, Zala'ess (even more so when they're in the same scene) and pretty much all of the Knight Templar Kyorl'solenurn clan seem to have a steady diet of the comic's scenery. The hammiest moment, bar none, is during Sil'lice's flashback where she battles the equally hamtacular Kalki, and Sil'lice's ham-a-thon when she returns to the Sharen fortress afterwards. They literally start knocking down the scenery. Sil'lice herself is no slouch as seen when she fights Yaeminira/Vy'chriel. It starts with Vy'chriel knocking down the door of the Sarghress fortress with a Humongous Mecha and Vy'chriel shouting a challenge and ends with Sil'lice repeatedly slamming her sword into Vy'chriel's forehead while naming the virtues the Sharen who betrayed them have lost, all while freezing Vy'chriel solid. Kalki seems to be involved in a lot of these, including one with Kiel that even resembles the trope image. |

After Jack Nicholson had Batman (1989) all for himself, the three other movies had a Villain Team-Up that served as an excuse for the bad guys trying to overact each other. Then again, it is Got Ham City. Danny De Vito (The Penguin) and Michelle Pfeifer (Catwoman) in Batman Returns. Even canaries are (nearly) chewed along with the scenery. Batman Forever buries the needle on the Ham-o-meter when Tommy Lee Jones (Two-Face) and Jim Carrey (The Riddler), team up in the middle of the movie. Observe. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Mr. Freeze) and Uma Thurman (Poison Ivy) in Batman & Robin. Helps both are pungeon Masters. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Guest star "Weird Al" Yankovic gets into a music battle with the show's biggest ham, Pinkie Pie. The result is what you would probably expect. A villainous example occurs in Season 7 when Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, Luna and Celestia's Super Powered Evil Sides, face off against each other in Starlight's dreamscape and unleash war cries and boasts to match their magical attacks. |

Doctor Who is practically a Ham-to-Ham Warzone. Even the cast and crew weren't averse to a bit of it among themselves. Roy Skelton, one of the Dalek voice actors during the classic series, says he and his colleagues would often compete with each other on set, to see who could be the most evil-sounding Dalek. Averted, surprisingly, in "The Underwater Menace". The normally quite over-the-top Patrick Troughton prepares to go up against the incarnation of Evil Is Hammy in the form of Professor "Noffink in zuh VORLD can SHTOP ME NOOOW!!" Zaroff... and scales his performance right down so he manages to upstage Zaroff by using his own ham against him. This is something his Doctor tended to do a lot — only ramping up the drama against a hammy villain if it was as part of a bluff, or when he's completely losing his cool at the end of "The War Games". Showdowns between the Doctor and The Master. Any of them. The entire Jon Pertwee era is just one huge Ham-to-Ham Combat zone. If it isn't Pertwee and Roger Delgado, it's Pertwee and Nicholas Courtney. Any time there's a multi-Doctor story: "The Three Doctors" between William Hartnell (First Doctor), Patrick Troughton (Second Doctor), and Jon Pertwee (Third Doctor). However they are all restrained thespians compared to OOOOOOOOMEGAAAAAAA!! "The Five Doctors", between Richard Hurndall replacing Hartnell, Troughton, and Pertwee, with Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor positively restrained in comparison. Extra ham from Anthony Ainley as The Master and Richard Mathews as Rassilon. "The Two Doctors", with Troughton and Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor. "Time Crash": 7 minutes of non-stop hamming from David Tennant (Tenth Doctor) and Peter Davison. Even "The Next Doctor", while not a true multi-Doctor story, has David Morrissey out-hamming Tennant. "The Day of the Doctor" has Tennant's Ten, Matt Smith's Eleven, and John Hurt's Eight-and-a-Half hamming it up together. And then Tom Baker shows up and blows Matt Smith off the screen in a performance that is even relatively restrained by his standards. "Twice Upon a Time" features Peter Capaldi as Twelve hamming it up with David Bradley as One, replacing Hurndall and Hartnell. This happens any time one of the Doctors confronts Davros. Tom Baker is clearly having an excellent time going up against the outrageous Pirate Captain in "The Pirate Planet" in the scene that calls for him to dispense with the cutesy Obfuscating Stupidity and launch into an Unstoppable Rage. "The Horns of Nimon": Lalla Ward almost manages to out-ham Tom Baker himself. He resists the onslaught, but then, unbelievably, they are both beaten — completely and utterly beaten — by Graham Crowden as Soldeed. His famous DREEEeeeAAAAaaAaAAAAms of CONquest are only the icing on the cake. He overacts so outrageously that he manages to corpse during his own death scene and it was still put in because it wasn't breaking character. "The King's Demons", for the master class in ham from Gerald Flood's King John and Anthony Ainley's Master. Gerald Flood's performance is utterly magnificent. It's been a while since they boilllled someone in oilll. "The Mark of the Rani" has a three-way ham-fest among Colin Baker's Doctor, Anthony Ainley's Master and Kate O'Mara's Rani, and it is glorious. Colin Baker again in "Timelash" where he squares off against Paul Darrow. As has been said elsewhere, the resulting combat has to be seen to be disbelieved. There's a truly spectacular ham-off between Colin Baker and BRIAN BLESSED in "Mindwarp". 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. "Ghost Light" is famous for two things: its Neon Genesis Evangelion level of incomprehensibility, and the sheer level of glorious over-acting by every. Single. Cast. Member. Even the extras. Somehow, though, it manages to be utterly awesome and a firm fan-favourite. "The Christmas Invasion": The Tenth Doctor argues with the Sycorax leader. While still in his jimjams and dressing gown. "Doomsday": The Cybermen and the Daleks meet for the first time... and promptly proceed to bitch at each other for a good five minutes. It's hilarious. (Not in the least because they're all voiced by magnificent ham Nicholas Briggs.) Whenever the Tenth Doctor and Donna get into a ham-off, it's epic. And Catherine Tate's very first appearance as Donna Noble had her up against the Racnoss Empress, truly one of the largest hams the series has ever seen. Tate as Donna Noble also has another special distinction: In "Partners in Crime", thanks to a sheet of soundproof glass, she and David Tennant had what might be one of the first silent examples of Ham-to-Ham Combat. Let's not forget Donna's epictacular send off — the FOUR-WAY Kombat between the Doctor, the Doctor-Donna, the Donna-Doctor and Davros in "Journey's End". It is GLORIOUS. The mexi-ham standoff between the Doctor, the Master, and Timothy Dalton from "The End of Time". River Song is an incredible ham when she's very young, and Alex Kingston has a lot of fun overacting when her character gets to meet the Doctor for the first time (from her perspective). Eleven decides to accessorize with an impeccable top hat and tails tuxedo for the occasion while wildly gesticulating with a cane. It's absolutely incredible. Every time Strax shows up. He will find an excuse to pick a fight with anything that moves and promptly obliterate it with anything from laser monkeys to acid traps, and grenades. ESPECIALLY grenades. "The Crimson Horror": In one corner, Matt Smith as the Doctor. In the other, Dame Diana Rigg as the Axe-Crazy old crone Mrs. Gillyflower. The winner: Everybody. "Nightmare in Silver" has Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor compete against an even hammier Matt Smith as the Cyber Controller, and it is glorious. "The Time of the Doctor": Matt Smith hams it up against every Dalek attacking Trenzalore. "The Husbands of River Song": River Song, the 12th Doctor, and a constantly-shouting Hydroflax (even when he's just a head in a sack). Gloriously over the top. Special note of the Doctor's Bigger on the Inside speech when River doesn't know yet who he is and they enter the TARDIS, and he describes how he thinks such a speech really should go. |

Dungeons & Dragons (2000) features the rare treat of Jeremy Irons locked in a battle of the hams with his own eyebrows. A scene had a weird variant: Overacting vs Underacting, with Irons' bombast against Thora Birch's Dull Surprise. | |

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger: Being a pair of Large Hams, both Ryuunosuke and Genta fall into this when they argue. A good example is at the start of Act 19, where their argument of whether Genta is an authentic samurai involves both yelling and slamming their chests against each other while Mako and Kotoha try to pull them apart. | |

This is part of why the rivalry between 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). Just about any time The Rock and Mick Foley were together could be described as this. Whether they were feuding, or teaming up as 'The Rock N Sock Connection', they always seemed to be trying to outdo one another in hamminess. Another example is D-Generation X. Shawn Michaels thought Triple H was funny as hell behind the scenes, Triple H started trying to crack Shawn up on television, and it just evolved into Ham To Ham Combat meets No Fourth Wall. |

The main characters in How I Met Your Mother absolutely love, love, LOVE doing this, usually over very bizarre, trivial, or theoretical disputes, and usually while sitting in their booth in McLaren's. So commonplace is it to see them over-dramatically (and often over-eloquently) yelling and cussing at each other in the middle of the crowded bar over, say, what the most common food in America is, that Fridge Logic forces the conclusion that their Ham To Ham Combat must be a well-known, taken-for-granted fixture of the bar, or else it would draw dozens of gawking spectators or scare customers away. | |

The Gentlemen's dispute series of videos between CaptainSparklez and Markiplier. The whole thing's so hammy you could feed a third world country with the amount of ham it creates. See here for yourself. And that's just the first video. The follow up video might be even hammier than the first one as it involves a prolonged scene of acting at the beginning of it. |

Frasier: The rivalry between Frasier and Cam Winston was truly a joy to behold. Whenever Frasier and Niles got worked up with each other was the cue for an impromptu ham-off, due in equal parts to their natural pompous demeanors, their high education levels and established familiarity with theater, opera, and musicals, and their Sibling Rivalry urging them to show off by trying to outdo each other in the dramatically complex insults and long, hard-to-pronounce words departments. Also, Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce having too much fun for their own good. |

Babylon 5: 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. Ham is part of the job description for any Centauri ambassador. The climax of "Moments of Transition" turns into three-way Ham To Ham Combat between Delenn, Neroon, and Shakiri. The part where Neroon makes his Heroic Sacrifice elevates the whole thing to Narm levels. |

Mary of Scotland: In the 1936 Katharine Hepburn and Fredric March film, the entire cast seems to be engaged in ham-to-ham combat, with the possible exception of John Carradine, who during filming once said to "Katherine of Arrogance," who had expressed a desire to play both Mary, Queen of Scots and 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 Gone Horribly Wrong. Or maybe right. | |

Transformers: Optimus and Megatron are the masters of this trope, pretty much in every continuity (and they usually play it up during actual combat). Megatron and Starscream have their moments, too. Unicron, Primus, and the Original 13 (7?), too, ham it up every time they activate their vocal processors, and go into overdrive when running combat subroutines. Near the end of the Rebirth story arc, which serves as the conclusion to the original G1 cartoon, Spike Witwicky!Fortress Maximus and the evil Nebulan Lord Zarak!Scorponok have such an epic confrontation. In particular, Spike not only out-fights Lord Zarak, he arguably also manages to out-ham him. It has to be heard to be believed. In Beast Wars Megatron and Tarantulas have formulated an Evil Plan. They begin to laugh in celebration. This becomes an Overly Long Gag as they try to have the last laugh. Just about every fight between Autobots and Decepticons are this. |

Death Becomes Her is all about Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, and Bruce Willis indulging in Ham and Cheese - and the latter two also each have a scene with Isabella Rossellini, who might be even the worst of them all. The "combat" part is specially prevalent as a just-dead Hawn indulges in a shovel fight with Streep, both shouting insults at the top of their lungs. | |

On Star Trek: The Next Generation, Ambassador Sarek comes aboard the Enterprise — and brings aboard a Hate Plague in the form of Bendii Syndrome, a degenerative disease causing him to lose his emotional control. Coupled with Vulcan telepathy, it causes him to inadvertently project bursts of anger onto random people, leading to such disturbances as a Bar Brawl and a shouting match between Picard and Riker on The Bridge. | |
