Milking the Giant Cow | comment |
Among drama students, "Milking the Giant Cow" is a term that refers to the practice of holding your hands skyward (or merely gesticulating wildly) to show emotion. May be accompanied by a Skyward Scream. If they fall to their knees while doing so, they are contractually obligated to raise their hands to the heavens, grasp the invisible teats tightly, and pull down a few times, as if milking an oversized bovine. This also occurs when a character just can't sit still. A character may pump their hands up and down theatrically while speaking... "for emphasis". If played for laughs, they may do so while holding a beverage, or some sort of blunt object — which will, of course, go flying everywhere. If it is done in order to Chew the Scenery, it may be necessary to Milk The Cow. Not to be confused with Ham and Cheese. Unless the actor chooses to milk while ordering Ham and Cheese to chew. Or other dairy products. A critical part of being a Large Ham. See also Big "NO!", Angry Fist-Shake, Futile Hand Reach, Gloved Fist of Doom, Got the Whole World in My Hand, and Skyward Scream, as well as particularly over-the-top cases of Italians Talk with Hands. In a World of Ham, everyone does this. Often part of Going Through the Motions. If one tries to dial back on this, they might go Finger-Tenting instead. Not related to milking a franchise or the trope about actually milking cows. |

Wonder Woman (1987): At first Ares has quite the flair for the dramatic, and doesn't seem capable of speech at all if he's not making large grandiose gestures. He becomes more subtle after his encounter with Wonder Woman shows him the downsides of all-out war in the nuclear age. He can still ham it up on occasion but it's a sign he's up to something and the cheesiness is a misdirection. | |

Because player characters in Dark Souls may be covered in a wide variety of armors, many of which obscure the face, the gestures made to communicate with others players tend to be extremely broad and flamboyant. The most famous is one exclusive to members of the Warriors of Sunlight called "Praise the Sun", where you raise your arms above your head in a "V" shape. | |

Battle Beyond the Stars. Caymen of the Lambda Zone does this a lot, especially in his introductory scene. He's a reptilian humanoid so his actor probably felt his facial features weren't articulate enough, but it also fits his Large Ham nature. | |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Kamina makes a frequent habit of waving his arms wildly when delivering his bombastic speeches (aside from his heaven-bound dramatic pointing), whether in a mecha or not, even disregarding that he's in the middle of a heated battle, completely ignoring the enemy's presence, much to the annoyance of everyone (save Simon, Nia, or Kittan). | |

Characters in 8-Bit Theater do this occasionally to represent despair, surprise, or just to emphasize a point. Of course, it's because 8-Bit Theater is a Sprite Comic of an 8-bit game, and thus has few sprites to express any emotion. Occasionally, it's lampshaded. ("Put your hands down!") | |

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio: WW2 Italy setting withstanding, a lot of characters tend to make animated hand gestures, especially Sebastian the Cricket since his mouth is barely visible and his face has a more limited range of emotions and thus he makes up for it by gesturing a lot whenever he speaks to appear more lively and expressive. | |

In Power Rangers, suited characters often kick the wild gesturing up. It's especially noticeable when still suited characters act outside a fight scene (when figuring out a device, etc.). In the early years, these gestures would be accompanied by the same swishing-through-air sound as martial arts strikes. | |

Skull Face in Metal Gear Solid V, being Evil Is Hammy incarnate, is also a profligate user of this trope. When introducing the Sahelanthropus as he stands in the palm of its hand he cheerfully flourishes his arms in the manner of a game show host's lovely assistant showing off the fabulous prizes. Bonus points for using the same tone of voice in which the host himself might say "a brand new car!" | |

Kamen Rider Build: The Prime Ministers of Seito and Hokuto are well-known for Chewing the Scenery because the Artifact of Doom made them into Card-Carrying Villains. Acting civil would be more conductive to their plans, but they simply can't stop themselves from putting on the grand gestures and Obliviously Evil speeches. It doesn't make them any less dangerous because they're still backed up by armies and states. | |

Metal Gear: Old Snake in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, complete with Skyward Scream. "liquiiid!" Also, Liquid Snake in The Twin Snakes. He seems to have graduated top of his class from the William Shatner School of Acting. Also from Metal Gear Solid 4 is Liquid Ocelot, who really enjoys clenching his fist whenever he can. Skull Face in Metal Gear Solid V, being Evil Is Hammy incarnate, is also a profligate user of this trope. When introducing the Sahelanthropus as he stands in the palm of its hand he cheerfully flourishes his arms in the manner of a game show host's lovely assistant showing off the fabulous prizes. Bonus points for using the same tone of voice in which the host himself might say "a brand new car!" |

When The Nostalgia Critic expresses his displeasure with John Travolta's hammy acting in Battlefield Earth, Terl (played by Spoony) interrupts the review to take umbrage not with the Critic being mad at his performance, but with the way he expressed his anger. Terl suggests that the Critic show him how angry he is through exaggerated grimacing and hand gestures, which does its job of making the Critic angry... at Terl for wasting his time and making him look stupid. | |

The animation for the "Rally" combat action in Dragon Age: Origins is this; Loghain, already a Large Ham, is particularly fond of this action. In the sequel, loose cannon party member Anders does this while casting Firestorm, accompanied with "MY MAGIC WILL DESTROY YOU!" or wordless screams of rage for maximum ham potential. | |

Star Trek: Along with his oddly placed vocal pauses and emphasis on unusual syllables, this is a key element to the William Shatner acting style, famously perfected as Captain Kirk on Star Trek: The Original Series. Indeed, one Filk Song ("Star Trek Rhapsody") even name-checks it: This is quite common in The Original Series in general. Many of the actors were originally trained for the stage, where overemphasized actions were expected; on screen, this translated to hokey action scenes and sometimes hilariously overdone body language. Randy Spears does this while playing Captain Quirk in the Sex Trek parodies. The Doctor in Star Trek: Voyager does this on occasion, as he's the hammiest character on the ship. It's also seen in guest stars who aren't used to playing Rubber-Forehead Aliens and therefore feel they need to gesture more to compensate. |

Code Geass: Lelouch Lamperouge, being a Large Ham, does it all the time. Even when simply removing a contact lens, which coincidentally unlocks his Geass power, but that's details. At some point, C.C. asks him why he needs to be so theatrical when he uses his Geass, and he tells her to shut up. It should be obvious to C.C. and the audience; if he's only exposing his eye during the instant of one command, a flourish would draw the required attention to that eye. | |

The Incredibles: Bob's Mean Boss Mr. Huph makes a lot of animated hand gestures to emphasize his points. He even does the "Italian" hand gesture with both hands when he yells out "We're supposed to help our people!" Syndrome does this with hilarious results as he wears an Arm Cannon shooting a beam of energy that suspends his target in mid-air. Later, Syndrome stops a fuel truck falling on a woman and her child. Once again, he does his dramatic introduction, sending the fuel truck flying over his shoulder where it explodes in a ball of flame. |

Doctor Who: In "Survival", Sylvester McCoy overclocks the ham, making a serious line sound very, very, very melodramatic: The Eighth Doctor does it in the TV movie. Matt Smith delves into this consistently as the Eleventh Doctor, though considering what type of character he's playing, it really, really works. Lampshaded in "The Day of the Doctor": The Twelfth Doctor, as much of a ham as any of his predecessors, gets to do this in "The Husbands of River Song", while parodying the usual Bigger on the Inside speech. |

Blake's 7 has a number of Evil Is Hammy villains, so this trope comes up on several occasions. In "Cygnus Alpha", BRIAN BLESSED!!!!! explodes after demonstrating this trope, though due to being Tele Fragged rather than an overload of ham. In "Rumours of Death", a politician is rehearsing a grandiose speech in honor of President Servalan, with plenty of emphatic gestures. In the Season 3 finale "Terminal", Servalan finally gets her hands on the Liberator, so does an open palm version when ordering "Maximum Power!" The perils of excessive hamminess are then demonstrated when the Liberator tears itself apart and blows up. In "Headhunter", an android loses his head and starts gesturing dramatically to compensate. As a Mad Scientist, Egrorian from "Orbit" does the appropriate scenery chewing. |

In Evita, Eva Peron gesticulates during her speeches, especially the inaugural speech. It's likely a stage direction in the original musical as well. The real Eva Peron was actually a big fan of this gesture when she spoke, so it is, at least, historically accurate. Look up pictures of her speaking and you're sure to see her doing this gesture. | |

Parodied in Hercules Returns, an Australian Gag Dub of an Italian sword-and-sandal movie. Whenever the actor playing Hercules does this, the voice actor pretends he's about to burst into song.

Kingdom Hearts: Xehanort, the franchise Big Bad, tends to over-exaggerate with his hands throughout the series, but his earliest incarnation as Master Xehanort takes milking the giant cow (of darkness!) to a fine art. The man is seemingly unable to make speeches without making clutching/grasping motions of some sort. Justified with his Nobody counterpart, Xemnas. As Nobodies are (in theory) incapable of emotion, Xemnas uses this exaggerated gestures as part of his overall Cold Ham persona. |

In Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, depending on the actor (although this is usually done by the actors) Erik (The Phantom) does this so often he could be considered the Giant Cow Dairy Farmer. | |
