What's the most hilarious joke or phrase spoken by a game announcer?

I enjoyed Tom Nader dong the week one FTC events where he generates a completely fictitious account of what the robots are doing as they all sit non-moving for the entirety of the auton period.

Our heros, climbing the mountain etc...

Kinda jacking this thread a bit but for drivers/coaches/operators do you hear the game announcer or really anyone around you outside of your alliance. I literally block everything out and only when I re-watch recordings of our matches do I hear what the announcer actually said about us.

Before the match and after the match, no. I always listen.

During i only hear the drive team's. Nothing else exists.

Anything from Sir Charles, particularly a few of his 2010 matches.

This past year, my team had a rubber duck named Alfred that sat on our robot. Tom Nader would talk to the duck all the time and acted like he was the one doing the scoring, congratulating him on the stacks as they went up.

Curie, 2014, every time the ball bounced off the truss, the announcer would proclaim, "Rejected by the truss!!!!!" with the excitement of a basketball announcer who just watched a defender block a dunk.

Its a funny image to imagine the truss going up for a block on the court, but that might just be me.

My favorite one.
Archimedes :33 seconds in. Maybe a bit inappropriate but definitely funny.

I spent all three of my years as a student on the drive team and one year as a mentor coach my first year mentoring after graduation. As a rookie I was human player, and for the next two years I was a driver, and the year after graduation, I was coach. I've played all the positions throughout four seasons and I can tell you rarely did I ever hear what the announcer was saying, except for when the remaining time was announced. This is a skill that can be difficult to acquire as a coach, because you have to filter out everything to communicate with all the alliance members, but also keep your ears peeled for when the announcer says X:XX time left in the match. For those who have a hard time doing that as a coach, I just recommend watching the digital countdown clock on the opposing alliance station.

"Curry Field"

Same announcer at Champs introduced us at one point or another as, Circus Circus, Citrus Circus, Citric Circuits, and probably another one or two I can't remember at the moment.

I might have to borrow this idea.

I did it last night at a league meet for my team's league, and the team that didn't pass inspection thanked me for doing play by play of the wishing and dreaming their robot was doing (and I think the audience liked it too)
