Line 94:
** Sarah, the town telephone operator.
** Then, of course, there was "Juanita," the waitress that Barney sometimes flirted with on the telephone.
* ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'': Sparky, the radio operator at I-Corps who Radar or Klinger often speaks with, pretty much fits this trope... although he did make a single, brief appearance in the season 1 episode "Tuttle."
** The camp's P.A. announcer was both this and [[The Voice]].
** The characters' loved ones back in the States, obviously...although some of them did "appear" via home movie, including Henry's wife Larraine, Frank's wife Louise, B.J.'s wife Peg, and Radar's mother (played by [[Uncanny Family Resemblance|Gary Burghoff in drag]]).
** B.J.'s wife Peg appears again in the surreal episode "Dreams", in a depressing [[Nightmare Sequence]] that is meant to show how much he misses her and how he believes the war has pulled him away from her. Naturally, everyone else is suffering a case of this throughout this particular episode.
** In the "Run for the Money" episode, Charles gets a tape recording from his sister Honoria, so we get to [[The Voice|hear her voice]] (which includes a bad stutter).
** Colonel Potter's wife in the states, Mildred, does not appear in the main series (save as a photograph on his desk), but is a regular character (played by [[The Other Darrin|two different actresses]]) in the short-lived spin-off ''[[
* The physical incarnation of this particular trope is undoubtedly Wilson from ''[[Home Improvement]]''. If it wasn't the fence hiding his mouth, it was a tree branch, a grill, other people, a Santa beard, or even a yam!
** Also, Al's mother.
