History Main / LargeHamAnnouncer

* [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam GUNDAM FIGHT ALL SET! READY? GOOOO!]]

* Andy Richter's overenthusiastic introductions for ''Series/{{Conan}}''. And before him, Creator/ConanOBrien was introduced by Joel Godard, a comedian with a very grating case of NoIndoorVoice.
** Steve Higgins also does a comedically exaggerated version of this as [[Creator/JimmyFallon Jimmy Fallon's]] announcer.
** As did Alan Kalter for Creator/DavidLetterman.

* The ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' multiplayer announcer.

%%* Dr. Dealgood in ''Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome''

* Webvideo/UrinatingTree's videos run on this, and the fact he's doing bombastic descriptions of [[EveryYearTheyFizzleOut sports failures]] makes it all the funnier.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''

* The {{Music/Starbomb}} song "SMASH!" features LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} as the voice of the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' announcer, a role he fills well.

* ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' has [=GLaDOS=] as its own hilarious announcer. And an actual automated Announcer in the [[VideoGame/{{Portal 2}} sequel.]]

** "[[Wrestling/JimRoss Good God Almighty! They've killed him! As God is my witness, he is broken in half!]]"

* The Administrator from ''VideoGame/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 Creator/{{Valve|Software}} [[AscendedFanon adopted the design officially]]. What really makes her character is the poisonous contempt she displays for the teams.

* ''Franchise/StarWars Episode One: Film/ThePhantomMenace'': That two-headed announcer for the podraces wouldn't shut up about how awesome everything was. And, funnily enough, the podrace announcer speaking Basic was voiced by Greg Proops, who was also [[VideoGame/MadWorld Howard "Buckshot" Holmes]].

-->-- '''The TitleScream for the original [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash Bros]]'''

* Benjamin Bright (Voiced in full ham mode by Creator/TomKenny) from ''[[Anime/IGPXImmortalGrandPrix IGPX ]]''

* ''Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory'' notably does '''something''' to this trope — possibly Administrivia/NotASubversion — by having announcers make everything ''funnier''. Jason Bateman's character in particular is an absolute riot.

* VideoGame/CapcomVs, especially the FountainOfMemes in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium''. ''This battle is about to explode!'' '''FIGHT!'''

* The ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' [[LargeHam announcer]]''[[TheOtherDarrin s]]''. The announcer changes with each game, and each is hammier than the last. '''SETTLE IT IN SMASH!''
** [[Creator/XanderMobus The announcer for]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU the Wii U and 3DS iterations]] is the hammiest to date, as best exhibited in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ 50-Fact Extravaganza]]. It's so good he came back for [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate the next game]].
--> "We, of course, have a good number of songs available in the Nintendo [=3DS=] version, but there will be even more in the Wii U game! '''''IN FACT, IT'S NOT EVEN COMPARABLE!!!'''''"

** The dev's previous game ''[[SerialNumbersFiledOff Chaos League]]'' also uses two announcers - the professional StraightMan and his [[TheAlcoholic heavy-drinking]] counterpart who bears more than a passing resemblance to Rik Mayall.

** Additionally, whenever Sonic [[spoiler:or Eggman in the final boss]] uses wisps and the trick ramps, an actual announcer calls them out. This announcer returns in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' (for the Planet Wisp stage), ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'' and ''Videogame/SonicForces''.
* ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing]]'' features an [[https://youtu.be/UY34TmNu3_I enthusiastic announcer]] who talks and sounds like something straight out of a motocross rally.

* ''SEGA Bass Fishing'' for the Dreamcast has an [[https://youtu.be/ahP41mLAyLw announcer]] whose first language clearly isn't English, but that doesn't stop him from getting really excited about fishing.

* The Administrator from ''VideoGame/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 Creator/{{Valve|Software}} [[AscendedFanon adopted the design officially]]. What really makes her character is the poisonous contempt she displays for the teams.
** Speaking of which, some people have taken voice clips and effectively used them to make hilarious commercials: [[http://youtu.be/B7QIcxoJU4g Scout Advertised Slap Chop]], [[http://youtu.be/LHgEnN2PFzo Heavy Sells Kaboom]]

* ''VideoGame/FZero'': "You've got boost power! ALL RIGHT, FIRST PLACE!"

* "{{FINISH HIM}}!" ''[[Franchise/MortalKombat Mortal Kombat's]]'' very own Shao Kahn even announces ''when he's the one fighting''.

* ''VideoGame/Dota2'', (the sequel to the aforementioned mod), is also a WorldOfHam. While the general announcer manages to come off as fairly reserved, the [[http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Announcer_responses "Mega Kill" announcer]] is a definite example of this trope. What's more, this only takes into account the defaults, which is to say nothing of the multitude of custom [[http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Announcers "cosmetic" announcers]] available from the in-game store, some of whom are outstanding hams even while narrating general events. Notable examples include the hero announcer packs for [[AxCrazy Axe]] and [[CloudCuckoolander Storm Spirit]].

* The DJ's of ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer'' series are this in general, VideoGame/RidgeRacer 6 and 3D take the cake, though.

* ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlue THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING!]]'' '''[[VideoGame/BlazBlue REBEL 1!]]''' '''''[[VideoGame/BlazBlue ACTION!!!]]'''''

* In addition to the aforementioned [=GLaDOS=] and ''{{VideoGame/Gauntlet}}'' announcer making appearances, ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions'' has commentary over the multiplayer battle arenas by the undisputed king of large hams, Creator/BrianBlessed.

--> "First match. Gorrrrrro! MMMAJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Verrrrsus! DAVID...DIABORRRRRRRU-KUN! RRRRRRRRRREADY? FIIIIIIIIIIGHT!"

* ''VideoGame/MutantFootballLeague'' features Tim Kitzrow as "Grim Blitzrow", the loud, bombastic, and energetic lead announcer counterpart to CuckoolanderCommentator Brickhead Mulligan.
* ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'' has the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Arena_Battlecaster Arena Battlecaster]] who is a wrestling style announcer for the Noxus arena.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDyuBpnbC6g ABadFeeling's "E-sports" video]] of ''Intruder'' -- a ''Videogame/SplinterCell''-esque stealth/combat game - has Boon narrating his every move by yelling it over his microphone, where every nearby enemy player can hear him.

* The 'epic voice' in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN3bFGJzY9s&list=PLSQLREUw9vwlh8bzgvZCt_WS8615trN5H&index=5 The Hyrule Warrior.]]

* ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'' has the Arena Battlecaster[[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Arena_Battlecaster]] who is a wrestling style announcer for the Noxus arena.

See also InAWorld For being applied to works of fiction, see LemonyNarrator. In video games, this is particularly common in CompetitiveMultiplayer, with the announcer belting out the IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels as the player racks up a KillStreak. May overlap with CuckoolanderCommentator. Compare LargeHamRadio and the HammyHerald.

* VideoGame/CapcomVsWhatever, especially the FountainOfMemes in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium''. ''This battle is about to explode!'' '''FIGHT!'''

* The Gobowl Announcer in ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'' has only ''one'' volume, and it ain't even close to conversation level.

* Mickey Cantor in ''VideoGame/MondayNightCombat'', who is a direct descendant of Andres Cantor, the soccer announcer pictured at the top of the page. Not only is he an extremely energetic play-by-play announcer, he's also an expert corporate mouthpiece. 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 announcer from ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' was so memorable, the voice clip was stolen for ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' genre-changing mod ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients''. "OWNING!"
* ''VideoGame/Dota2'', (the sequel to the aforementioned mod) being itself a WorldOfHam.
