This troper and her friends have a habit of nicknaming each other. And at times, BecomingTheMask in the way of in-character jokes. Currently, this troper is Fujimoto and one friend is Mello. This is sort of self-explanatory.

Made even more humorous by the fact that this troper is ''usually'' a major ShrinkingViolet.)

One time in This Troper's theater class in middle school we had a competition to see who could act the best. Let's just say that metaphorically the auditorium collapsed from the combat.

In my high school's production of ByeByeBirdie I was playing Harry MacAffee (the dad), while a close friend played 'Mama'May Peterson. We were both enormous hams. LIKE AS HUGE AS THE TITANIC. Although we had zero interaction, and appeared in only two scenes together for a total of a few minutes together onstage, we still tried to out-ham the other. During rehearsals it we unintentionally had ALL of our conversations in the hammiest way possible. Off-stage I won. On stage, the audience loved her just a little bit more than me. It helps that her character is meant to be overacted.

This troper had an impromptu outbreak of this: out in the Tasmanian bush, I and a few friends were filming a very silly pick-a-path style movie. Practicing my lines, I came out with something along the lines of "Yes, I am...Not Very Evil Man!" A walker in the area then suddenly yelled out "This cannot be! For I am...Very Evil Man! Let us do battle!" Very sadly, the cameras were not running.

This Tropette and her friend always get it big loud arguments (always in good fun) solely for the purpose of us hamming it up. "Where were you?" "I-- I was on the moon. With Steve." "Who's Steve?" "This guy." "Who's this guy?" "He has two arms and two legs!" "What are they called?" "Rufus, Luke, Albert and HIM."

Many competitions between this troper and his friends end up like this, and most of the rest follow this trope from the beginning. How many games of Go do you know of that were preceded by un-sound effects, accusations of arson and a dramatic entrance?

Me and a friend of mine sometimes have phone calls that start off normal but OneThingLeadsToAnother and next thing we know we're shouting out pop-culture references and memes at each other, yelling over the phone, singing poorly, silly impressions and the list goes on.

This Troper was on a trip in Italy in 2008. During the tour of Pompeii, the tour guide got into an argument with a teacher giving a tour, since teachers in Italy aren't allowed to give tours, you have to be a certified tour guide. The two started going at it stereotypical Italian-style. The battle was glorious.

This troper was at a big conference on equality put on my his college, where one activity was a series of plays put on by the drama department depicting discrimination - in this case, homophobia. The angle was, at any time, an audience member could jump in to the lead character's role and see if they could do a better job in the situation. One was a confrontation with the character's father, played by a drama geek friend of mine who gets a little too into his roles (i.e. entirely). A guy who I'm going to go out on a limb and assume is gay got up and switched with the lead character. Now I'm guessing he had some issues to work through, because by the end of the play the two of them were shouting at each other at the top of their lungs, red-faced, while everyone else was laughing hysterically. My friend was so into the role that, he told me afterwards, he was not far off hitting the poor guy and yelling "You're no son of mine!"

Even to this date, the only possible reason that I can think of, is that we were a bit bored.
