![]() ![]() New Generation returned for Seasons 3-4 and the movie and went right back to their original hammy style. Headline's very straight dub for Season 2 was really underwhelming in comparison. The writing was very self-aware, and the performances were exaggerated to hell and back. The cast and crew working on the dub knew how trashy the show was. New Generation Pictures were the first to try this with Ikki Tousen.Jamie Marchi is the most obvious example. Knowing the audience isn't exactly watching for high drama, the actresses tend to indulge in the over the top sleaze and have fun with it. This seems to be the Funimation staff's method for dubbing fanservice-heavy anime.Case in fucking point, here's the digest.Not because it's a bad series, far from it, but given its reveling in some of the most suggestive dialogue and gross-out humour this side of South Park, they're all clearly having a blast, especially the two leads who take all the double-entendres and filthy lines of dialogue coming from the angelic divas as passionately as they can. ![]() The English dub of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is a glorious slab of glazed ham exactly for this reason.Given that Sentai Filmworks seems to have licensed it for contractual reasons, and the general reputation of the series, they seemed to have put as much intentional ham as they could, knowing it's not exactly an arthouse masterpiece. That being said, it is generally agreed that the anime would have been less enjoyable if it wasn't for the overly dramatic voice acting in the English dub, particularly Chris Patton's Ayato and Maggie Flecknoe's Yui. Diabolik Lovers, in terms of its sadomasochism and the misogynist nature of the series, many are left disgusted at the fetishized abuse. ![]() For the ham without the cheese, see tropes such as Large Ham and Incoming Ham for good alternates. NOTE: This is not for listing hammy roles in good or even decent works. Compare Chewing the Scenery, Wag the Director. Compare the Rule of Sean Connery the rule often applies to actors who know exactly when to serve up the Ham and Cheese.Ĭan overlap with WTH, Casting Agency? and Awesome, Dear Boy. Also, compare One-Scene Wonder both roles/actors in these films play memorable, often over-the-top enjoyable performances and can make them one of the best parts of a film. You may notice that these performances tend to appear in tandem with ones that Took the Bad Film Seriously if only because they are such obvious Foils for each other. What could go better with all that cheese than a big slab of HAM? If it's going to be a well-remunerated bad movie, you might as well enjoy yourself, eh? And who knows? You might even end up saving the film.Īfter all. Or you could unleash The Hog, milk that great big heifer dry, and chew the scenery into a fine pulp. You could just say " Screw This, I'm Outta Here", storm off and refuse to associate with the film ever again, you could take the project seriously, and try with all your might to make it work. You arrive on set to find what seems to be a film Gone Horribly Wrong, complete with Special Effects Failure, horrible actors, and a script with so much cheese and so many holes it might as well be printed on deli Swiss. So you pick the one that gets you the most cash or sounds the most promising in general. You're hot stuff in Hollywood, with directors throwing money at your feet to be in their film. Say you're an actor and a damn good one at that. Michael Ironside on his role of General Katana in Highlander II: The Quickening ![]()
