Revision as of 21:59, 20 October 2008

In the Homestar Runner universe, generic announcers are often heard publicizing shows and advertisements, reading sentences out loud, and delivering speeches about specific topics. Compared to The Announcer, who did the same in Strong Bad Sings, sibbie, and suntan, they are never seen in person.
