{{quote|''"Ginny and Demelza scored a goal apiece giving the red-and-gold-clad supporters below something to cheer about. Then Cadwallader scored again, making things level, but Luna did not seem to have noticed; she appeared singularly uninterested in such mundane things as the score, and kept attempting to draw the crowd's attention to such things as interestingly shaped clouds and the possibility that Zacharias Smith, who had so far failed to maintain possession of the Quaffle for longer than a minute, was suffering from something called 'Loser's Lurgy.'"''|''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Half -Blood Prince|Harry Potter]]''}}
 
It's the [[Big Game]], everyone is in the stands and excited. They can't wait to see what happens, to hear the announcer as he or she comments on the action and keeps the crowd up to date. Too bad said announcer is off in his own little world and not really paying much attention to the actual game.

== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[DodgeballDodgeBall: aA True Underdog Story]]'' gives us Pepper Brooks, known for his [[Captain Obvious|staggering powers of deduction]] and assortment of non sequiturs. While Cotton McKnight isn't exactly a shining paragon of sanity, he usually plays the [[Straight Man]] to Pepper by popping a [[Fascinating Eyebrow]] and choosing not to respond to Pepper's more... outlandish comments.
* Fred Willard's character in ''[[Best in Show]]''. He's a former [[American Football]] player turned sportscaster, who is desperately trying to treat the dog show like it was a football game.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* The example quoted above is the result when Luna Lovegood is made a Quidditch commentator in ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Half -Blood Prince|Harry Potter]].'' Professor McGonagall acts as her Minder.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Banjo -Kazooie]]'': Gruntilda, during that game show thing at the end. At least, I think she's the host.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Pinkie Pie in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is the commentator alongside Spike for the contest between Applejack and Rainbow Dash during the annual Running of the Leaves.
{{quote| '''Spike:''' You know, Pinkie, these two ponies have a bit of a grudge match they're trying to settle, trying to prove who's the most athletic.<br />
'''Pinkie:''' ''Yes!'' And "grudge" rhymes with "fudge"!<br />
