* ''[[RidgeRacer Ridge Racer 6 & 7]]'', the DJ won't shut up unless you turn off the voice.

* PeterCullen does some {{Toonami}} promos, even including the ''{{Hamtaro}}'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CicpFu7MLbg promo]]. Despite it being about cute hamsters, Cullen managed to make it sound badass.

* ''Eggman'', of all people, in ''SonicColors''. Snarky announcements from Sonic's nemesis will often play over a PA system in each level (coinciding with the theme that all the stages are part of Eggman's "[[AmusementParkOfDoom amusement park]]"). Since the game's script was written by the guys behind ''MadWorld'', these, too, are some of the best parts of the game.

* ''RidgeRacer 6 & 7'', DJs won't shut up unless you turn off the voice.

* Mickey Cantor in ''MondayNightCombat''. Not only is he an extremely energetic play-by-play announcer ("It's kill city out there, fans! The mortality rate is at an all time HI-OOOH!"), he's also an expert corporate mouthpiece ("Aptilube! Patience, practice and persistence now come in bottle form!"). He seems to especially enjoy encouraging the pros -- and any fans who happen to have brought their sniper rifles from home, to kill MNC mascot Bullseye.

* The Administrator from ''TeamFortress2'', who started out just as TheVoice. Then Makani, a BigNameFan, [[http://makani.deviantart.com/art/mission-begins-in-five-102983857 designed the actual character]]...then {{Valve}} [[SureWhyNot adopted the design offically.]] What really makes her character is the poisonous contempt she displays for the teams.
