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

[RoboChair]

"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.

Our heros, climbing the mountain etc...

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)

If I remember right that came from students yelling at him when he said the awards were presented as poems (Eric should let me know if I'm wrong).

I'm surprised no one has posted the joke that has been a part of reveal videos for the last 3 years.

The Printer(not a joke, very good robot)

Although these are great inside joke videos for those in FRC, they haven't been mentioned since the thread is about funny things that game announcers have said. Good suggestion for joke videos though!

During Hopper qualifications a robot fell onto its side and Tom Nader said "Looks like team xxxx decided to switch their drivetrain to the z-axis.

[Amanda Morrison]

"I don't wanna say it's ovah, but there's not... much... hope..."
- Ron Partridge trying to announce an almost un-announceably boring match.

Way back in 2004 as a field volunteer, Dan Green would ask us for phrases to slip into the game announcing to keep it lively. Our favorite accomplishment of Dan's was the phrase "goats do roam in villages". Pretty impressive!

At Hopper last year, we always had a good laugh at the announcer that would yell, "Good shootin'!!!" during matches. I honestly have no clue how it was relevant to Recycle Rush, but it was sure entertaining for all of us. (And I'm sure it's lack of relevance made it even more entertaining)

[IronicDeadBird]

A stream host at Colorado decided to use the phrase "His Majesty of Points" last year.

[Mark Holschuh]

I believe it was at a practice match at the 2012 IRI competition, Paul Copioli introduced Fondy Fire, Frog Force and Wings of Fire as, "a bunch of effin robots."

[Jarren Harkema]

I always enjoyed Tom Nader's commentary on the results of 2014's autonomous. "There are 3 albatrosses on the field!"

That man speaks pure gold.

[ice.berg]

On Hopper for 2015 for our teams 3 tote auto, it would be "1 potato, 2 potato, 3 potato, SCORES!" Usually followed by a "Good shootin' guys"

I dodn't understand how totes could be related to potatoes but whatever.

There's no game announcing experience quite like the Paul Copioli show. The show never disappoints.

Not quite FRC competition, but I remember very clearly a few years ago during a VEX competition in St. Catherines where Karthik was MCing:

"Lets just take a moment to appreciate what's going on here... Which is not very much."
