** Whenever [[TheHero Yami Yugi]] and [[TheRival Kaiba]] duel, the clashing of their ham surpasses even the power of their [[PhysicalGod Egyptian God Cards]]. This goes back to the beginning, when Kaiba freaks out at the summoning of Yugi's Exodia.
---> '''Kaiba:''' Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yugi.\\
'''Yugi:''' My grandpa's deck ''has'' no pathetic cards, Kaiba, but it ''does'' contain... the unstoppable Exodia!\\
'''Kaiba:''' [[OhCrap AAH!]] [[ThisCannotBe IMPOSSIBLE!]]\\
'''Yugi:''' I have assembled all five special cards! All five pieces of the puzzle!\\
''(Exodia emerges, dwarfing the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons)''\\
'''Kaiba:''' Exodia! I-It's not possible! No-one's ever been able to call ''him''!\\
'''Yugi:''' EXODIA... '''''OBLITERATE!!!'''''\\
''(Exodia fires an energy blast that vaporizes all three Blue-Eyes)''

* ''Anime/DancougarNova'' features the first conversation between the very hammy [[EvilIsHammy Moon Will]] and the usually [[ColdHam more subdued Earth Will]], but [[TalkingToHimself both of them are voiced by the same guy]], the normally hammy Creator/NorioWakamoto so it ends up counting.

* ''LightNovel/KnightsAndMagic'' has quite a number of these but the biggest one is in the final episode between [[TheHero Ernesti]] and [[MadScientist Horacio]] who [[SeriousBusiness argue between the aesthetics of]] a [[HumongousMecha Silhouette Knight]] and a [[CoolShip Levitate Ship]] with Doroteo also screaming for blood in the background, trying to kill Ernesti's Ikaruga.

* In ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'', someone managed to get [[AxCrazy Ladd Russo]] and [[TalkativeLoon Graham Specter]] into the same enclosed space for a bit. The results were... ''explosive''. About five minutes after Graham's introduction at that!

%% This page has been alphabetized. Please add new examples in the correct order.

* ''Anime/AngelBeats'':
** The OVA takes this [[ExaggeratedTrope to extremes]]. As part of a plan to trick Angel, Yuri pretty much orders an Apocalypse of Ham where everyone tries to out-ham each other with the Tension Meter. If the plan fails, everyone fasts (including no water) for a week. [[spoiler:Shiina]] of all people wins, bringing the Tension Meter up to [[OverNineThousand 9999]] just by saying "CUTE!!!" [[spoiler:The plan still fails, though. Good thing DeathIsCheap!]]
** Yuri herself brings the Tension Meter to it's second highest rate (99) a few minutes earlier due to [[EvilLaugh laughing her ass off in the most maniacal way imaginable]] when she's thinking about how well the plan is going and how it looks to be successful. [[spoiler:It could be argued that she ends up the winner when her shouting that the Battlefront must not eat for an entire week at the top of her lungs causes the Tension Meter to rapidly drop all the way down into the negative numbers for everyone around her.]]
* In ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'', someone managed to get [[AxCrazy Ladd Russo]] and [[TalkativeLoon Graham Specter]] into the same enclosed space for a bit. The results were... ''explosive''. About five minutes after Graham's introduction at that!
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Creator/TiteKubo admitted he struggles to write fights in a serious way and can only do it by involving jokes along the way. Many characters therefore ramp up the ham during battles. Only the most important battles lack any humour to showcase just how significant they are. To wit:
** Yumichika versus Charlotte kicked off with Yumichika trying to fight with his eyes closed so he wouldn't have to look at Charlotte and them calling each other ugly until they agreed the loser would be the ugly one. It sets up an abrupt MoodWhiplash into a very serious LetsGetDangerous reveal of Yumichika's true power.
** Ikkaku's fight against Shishigawara is PlayedForLaughs due to him using it to teach Shishigawara how to fight like a man... by them beating the snot out of each other with their fists. Ikkaku wins the fight with a massive, hammy [[UseYourHead headbutt]] -- but not before he pops his dislocated shoulder back into place with a [[TestosteronePoisoning muscle flex]] while screaming "FUCK YEAH", much to [[OhCrap Shishi's horror]].
** Mila Rose and Apacci from Harribel's AmazonBrigade simply ''can't'' be in the same scene/panel ''without'' punching/kicking/screaming/etc. at each other. In the meantime, Sung-Sun will [[SurroundedByIdiots snark]] at them from the background.
** Being two LargeHam {{Mad Scientist}}s, Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Szayel Aporo Ganz's match was not just a matter of who was the [[CreepyAwesome creepiest]], but also of who was the '''hammiest'''. [[spoiler:And Mayuri wins ''spectacularly'' in the end.]]
** Renji Abarai and Buzz-B scream [[VolleyingInsults insults]] at each other until Renji insults Bazz-B's mohican. Bazz-B's so enraged, he reveals he had really liked Renji's tattooed eyebrows. Renji is utterly thrilled, but Bazz-B tells him it's too little, too late. Meanwhile, a disbelieving Rukia snarks their behaviour in the background.
** Mayuri's decision to fight Giselle turns into chaos due to Mayuri's decision to bring "allies" that he has secretly implanted with punishment devices to inflict ElectricTorture directly inside their brains. He ends up arguing more with them than with Giselle. [[spoiler:He revives Cirucci, Dordonni, Luppi and Charlotte ForScience with their personalities intact. Cirucci and Dordonni are obsessed with finding Ichigo and Uryuu, Luppi resents [[SurroundedByIdiots being saddled with them]] and they all mistrust Mayuri. Meanwhile, Charlotte's busy annoying Yumichika, accusing Giselle of being a DragQueen and randomly trying to hit Mayuri with Bambietta's body.]]
** As of 630, there's a really GLORIOUS ham duel between Askin and [[spoiler: Grimmjow]]. It starts with the first surviving a massive attack from the latter, then trying to [[KnowWhenToFoldEm make a run for it]] when the other's distracted [[HilarityEnsues and it goes downhill from there]].
** After Askin's fight is over, an oversized Gerard Valkyrie take the center spot and engages several captains at once, one of which is Kenpachi, who gladly matches the Schutzstaffel boast for boast.
--->'''Hitsugaya:''' Is it just me... or are these two like a match made in heaven... maybe hell is more appropriate...
** Almost at the end of the manga, there's a gloriously porky exchange and fight between none other than Yhwach and... [[spoiler: '''Aizen''', of all people.]] It has to be read to be believed.
* This happens twice early on during a ''Manga/CityHunter'' arc.
** The first instance combines this trope with VolleyingInsults:
-->'''[[HandsomeLech Ryo]]''': Show some respect while talking to your elders, enemy of my penis!
-->'''[[GirlOfTheWeek Kimiko]]''': Shut up! I'm not obligated to show you any respect, you lowdown playboy!
-->'''Ryo''': Lowdown?! Take that back right now! I'm a very upright, earnest, and honest playboy!
-->'''Kimiko''': And who's supposed to believe that?!
-->'''Ryo''': You! Now apologize to my penis!
-->'''Kimiko''': I won't! Everything was your fault!
-->'''Ryo''': Do you know how much I suffered?!
-->'''Kimiko''': Not one bit less than you deserve!
-->'''Ryo''': Do you know how painful it was to [[ItMakesSenseInContext retain a mokkori for sixty minutes? Had I relaxed even one bit, I would have been thrown off the train!]]
-->'''Kimiko''': Ha! If you die, all women in this world would win!
-->'''Ryo''': If I die, more women would cry than the sky has stars!
-->'''Kimiko''': Oh, do you know how many stars there are in the heavens?!
-->'''Ryo''': I was just using an euphemism, stop taking everything literally!
-->'''[[GentleGiant Umibozu]]''': [[BigShutUp SHUT UP!!]]
** After the scene above ends, the other one takes place, right after Kimiko decides that she wants Umibozu instead of Ryo to be her bodyguard, in defiance of the wish of her grandfather, who has hired Ryo to guard her:
-->'''Kimiko's grandfather''': Impossible, Kimiko! I already decided that Mr. Saeba will be your bodyguard!
-->'''Kimiko''': No way! Uncle baldy over there is much better!
-->'''Ryo''': Yes! Choose baldy! Choose baldy!
-->'''Umibozu''': Wh-Who's bald? I shaved my head!
* In ''Anime/CodeGeass'' this is what happens when you get [[TheEmperor Charles]] and his son [[MagnificentBastard Lelouch]] together. They don't even ''need'' to be anywhere near each other to engage in this -- they once hammed at the whole world by [[DoNotAdjustYourSet hijacking television in sequence.]]
* ''Anime/DancougarNova'' features the first conversation between the very hammy [[EvilIsHammy Moon Will]] and the usually [[ColdHam more subdued Earth Will]], but [[TalkingToHimself both of them are voiced by the same guy]], the normally hammy Creator/NorioWakamoto so it ends up counting.
%%* Episode 43 of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure2020'' features a round of this between Etemon and Volcamon.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
** The fight between Alex Louis Armstrong and Olivier Armstrong to take over the family mansion in the manga, expanded in ''Brotherhood''.
** Whenever Alex is in the same room as Izumi's husband Sig Curtis. PecFlex contests inevitably ensue.
** When Alex and Sig teamed up to [[spoiler:take care of Sloth]].
** In the first episode of ''Brotherhood'', Isaac [=MacDougal=] gets a chance to do this with Alex.
* ''Anime/{{Gintama}}'': Happen usually when Gintoki [[LetsGetDangerous stop goofing around]] to fight the [[ArcVillain Arc Big Bad]]. Like his fight with Hosen, one of the rare cases where he had to [[DualWielding Dual-Wield]]. But the kabuki-cho four devas arc take the cake with the confrontation between the Yorozuya and the mob lead by Saigo, and the final fight between Gintoki and Jirocho when they charge at each other while screaming.
* ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'': Alucard vs. Alexander Anderson. On other words, Creator/JojiNakata vs. Creator/NorioWakamoto, or Creator/CrispinFreeman vs. Steven Brand.
-->'''[[WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged Alucard]]:''' '''''YOU BROUGHT ME A PRESENT!?'''''
* ''WebComic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': This show may be [[AnthropomorphicPersonifications anthropomorphic personifications]] of countries on the surface, but you'd be surprised on how much screaming occurs more than talking between at least two characters.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' is filled to the brim with those, but usually the final battle of each part takes the cake when it comes to haminess, such as Dio Brando vs. Jonathan Joestar, Joseph Joestar and Rudolph Von Stroheim vs. Kars or Jotaro vs. DIO.
* ''Anime/KillLaKill'' set a new standard for WorldOfHam in anime, so it's expected that they'll have some of this:
** [[GenkiGirl Mako Mankanshoku]] and [[LargeAndInCharge Ira Gamagoori]] wind up in a cheering contest for their respective sides during the [[BossRush Naturals Election]]. It's just as ridiculous as it sounds.
** When [[TheHero Ryuko]] and [[StudentCouncilPresident Lady]] [[TheRival Satsuki]] fight in their Kamui Uniforms, they're yelling at each other at the top of their lungs about ambitions, aspirations, and kicking ass. This time, it's completely serious.
* ''LightNovel/KnightsAndMagic'' has quite a number of these but the biggest one is in the final episode between [[TheHero Ernesti]] and [[MadScientist Horacio]] who [[SeriousBusiness argue between the aesthetics of]] a [[HumongousMecha Silhouette Knight]] and a [[CoolShip Levitate Ship]] with Doroteo also screaming for blood in the background, trying to kill Ernesti's Ikaruga.
* In ''Manga/KotouraSan'', Manabe and Kotoura's grandfather get into a perverted argument about Haruka in episode 4, the grandfather bragging about direct contact with her thighs and butt, Manabe about the joy of seeing her flustered face, by deliberately thinking dirty things about her so as to invoke [[{{telepathy}} her]] DirtyMindReading.
* ''Anime/MazingerZ'':
** In the Dynamic Heroes e-manga (a {{Crossover}} featuring the main Creator/GoNagai series), Kouji Kabuto fought Great Marshall Of Hell as riding Mazinger. The two of them have very hammish tendences. It is noteworthy as it was, maybe, the first time in the history of the franchise Kouji and [[spoiler:Dr. Hell]] faced each other directly as both were riding giant robots. Too bad it was a Curb-Stomp Battle.
** In ''Anime/GreatMazinger'' the legendary duel between Tetsuya and Great General of Darkness. They were trying not only to kill each other but also out-ham each other.
** In ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' the final battle between Duke and Emperor Vega.
%%* ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''. All the freaking time. Especially when it involves Domon and Master Asia together.
* ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'':
** Makoto vs Manabu Takasaki, Go-soccer match.
%%** Mio and Yukko often; sometimes Mai even joins in.
%%* In ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', anything involving Lobelia inevitably turns into this.
* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'': [[RunningGag "Yukimura!" "Your Lordship!"]] "''Yukimura!''" "''Your Lordship~!''" "'''YUUUKIMURA~!'''" "'''''YOUR LORDSHIIIIP!'''''"
* [[TheHero Guy Shishioh]] vs [[BigBad Palparepa]] in ''Anime/GaoGaiGar FINAL''
-->'''Guy:''' I'll show you...the true power of courage!\\
'''Palparepa:''' You will show me?!
* ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}''. [[spoiler: Masako Natsume vs. Yuri Tokikago]]. Much awesome, dramatic flail and weapon flinging issue whenever these two meet.
* In ''Manga/SgtFrog'', the snowball fight between Giroro and Paul was at least one of these in the dub.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' is essentially a continuous series of Ham-to-Ham Combat scenes, with all moments of Kamina and Viral together on screen automatically topping the list.
** The final battle was a concrete embodiment of this trope, as made clear with the dubs:
--->'''Simon:''' EAT THIS!!!''\\
[[spoiler:'''Anti Spiral:''' [[BigNever NEVERRRRRRRR!!]]'']]
** ''Lagann-Hen'' turns this up by having an [[LensmanArmsRace arms race]] with Team Dai-Gurren trying to out-ham each enemy. Case in point:
--->'''Simon:''' Take this! Finishing move! [[spoiler:Super Tengen Toppa]]... Giga... ''Drill''... ''BREAKER!!''\\
[[spoiler:'''Anti Spiral:''' Interesting! Then; Anti Spiral... Giga... ''Drill''... ''BREAKER!!'']]
* ''VisualNovel/TheyAreMyNobleMasters'' has an epic one between Ren Uesugi and Kojyuuro Takeda... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjTCmzVNYdM Only to be interrupted by the Colonel]]. Doubles as an ActorAllusion for all three characters due to their [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam famous]] [[Anime/GaoGaiGar roles.]]
* ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' has Harry Ord vs Gym Ghingham. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aKeU2NqWrE UNIVEEEEEEEEEEERSE!!]]
* Pretty much every card game in the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' series, especially in the 4Kids dub, where all the ham levels are cranked up to eleven.
** Just one example would be Marik vs. Yami Bakura in [[Anime/YuGiOh Battle City]] in the 4Kids dub. The two feel the need to remind the other every ten seconds that ''Once they lose this duel they'll be BANISHED TO THE SHADOW REALM! MWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''
** Even after losing and while being absorbed by the shadows, [[spoiler:Yami Bakura]] doesn't think of dialing down the ham exclaiming: "Don't you realise, that I am the darkness? [...] It's simple, it means I can't be destroyed. You haven't seen the last of me! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
