Narrator: Difference between revisions

* Alphonse Elric in the [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Anime)|2003 anime adaptation]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)|Brotherhood]]'', it's implied to be {{spoiler|Father}}.

* ''[[Kaiji]]'' has a particularly popular narrator, due to his overly [[Serious Business|serious]] tone and use of [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|overblown metaphors]] to describe what's going on.

* The [[Gao Gai Gar]] Narrator explains all the scientific Keys to Victory without really letting emotion into it. He doesn't need to - explaining ''how'' the [[Monster of the Week]] will be getting its ass(es) handed to it in through what is basically the Japanese version of [[Morgan Freeman]] is enough.

* [[Ookami-San]] has Shirai Kuroko as a [[Lemony Narrator]] who also makes frequent observations about the main heroines' [[A Cup Angst|lack of endowments]].

* Likewise George, of ''[[Dead Like Me]]'', who narrates from a distance, sometimes showing omniscience and talking directly to the audience, and sometimes just within her head.

* Classic example: the series ''[[The Untouchables]]'' was narrated by famous columnist/political commentator Walter Winchell. His distinctive, urgent, sharply voiced, melodramatic announcements became a television icon, selling corny set up lines similar to this: ''"As Al Capone and his henchmen talked of murder over steaks and bootleg champagne, Eliot NESS and his UNTOUCHABLES made plans to topple his empire of crime!"''

* Jim Dale in ''[[Pushing Daisies]]''.

* JD of ''[[Scrubs]]'' narrates his own life in his head, as well as the lives of nearly everyone he has regular contact with, so he is essentially the narrator of the show. Lucy Bennett takes over this role in the last season.
