I was reading another thread about Monster Bash and it brought a smile to my face because it reminded me of the first time I ever played the game, and how the Frankenstein coming alive with the "IT'S ALIVE!!" call out and the flashers going next to it just hit me as being one of the coolest things I've ever seen on a pinball machine. It stuck with me for a long time until I could finally buy a MB, and to this day it's still my absolute favorite Pinball "call out". No others are quite as special to me for some reason, and I know there are a lot of cool ones. Perhaps it was just the timing and the fact that I did not expect it at all since I had never seen it before playing one.

So what are your favorite or most memorable pinball "call out" moments and why?

The close second for me, mainly because I rarely get it, is on AFM.. when you are in alien attack mode and hit all of the aliens except for the one next to the scoop, and then you hit the scoop.. and the game stops for a second and the alien lights up and jumps up and down and say "HA HA YOU MISSED ME!!!". I laughed my ass off for the entire night over that.

These are the things that have made pinball such an addiction for me... I doubt I'm alone on this one. Let's hear yours..

The martians saying "JACKKKKKKKPPPPAUUUTTTT!!!" on AFM during Multiball.

The martians saying "Ohhh, no no no!!!! SSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPERRR JACKPAAAAAUTTTT!!!!!!!! OH BAI-BAY!" on AFM when obtaining Super Jackpot.

Gomez going "SHHHHHHHHOOWWWTime!" on TAF.

"It has to warm up....SO it can KILLLLLL YOU!!!!!! - SHHHHHHOOOOWWWWWTIME!" on TAF.

Any time the TREX roars on JP - particularly during the "match" sequence at the end.

I love earthshaker's "head for the shelter!", followed by the girl saying "gimme shelter!"

twilight zone has a bunch, the robot saying "don't touch the door!", when the powerball comes out the guy saying "the ball is mine, give it back"

Viper night drivin eggs you on, if you hold onto the ball, mancow heckles you saying things like "come on wussy, take the shot!"

Hey,

About a year ago, I played a Monster Bash for the first time. I don't recall it exactly, but the comment from Dracula about his semi-circular motion stuck out, so I guess that one's stuck with me. Favorite? Not sure. "A little to the left" in Big Bang Bar sticks out as well.

I love it on NGG when Buzz says "you hit your own cart" and then right after says "do it again" always get a chuckle out of that.

agree with "Showtime" from TAF. Gotta add Williams' IJ "Super Jackpot!". John Rhys-Davies gives all there is on that one.

Raul Julia and Angelica Houston really knock it out on TAF. Dozens of great callouts! Good show old man, you're really on the ball, now you've done it, don't torture yourself, you should now better, rest in piece, and of course SHOWTIME!!! After almost 20 years, that multiball sequence is still one of the best light shows in pinball IMO.
The different knights, damsels and trolls on MM make it a close second for me.

For me it's LOTR on the TT MB. Gimli yelling DOUBLE/or TRIPLE jackpot 1-7. Then when you get to the super jackpots... Him screaming SUPER JACKPOT and doing his hardy laugh. Makes me smile every time.

BSD video mode: "Listen to them...the children of the night." I quote along with my best Gary Oldman impression every time it comes up.

I remember being mesmerized when I saw the movie as a kid, particularly that scene...played a big part in me getting into horror and special effects / art. So happy to have the pin!

- I like the "thank you me data" sequence in STTNG.
- I also like the Martians and trolls comments on AFM and MM
- I like the "you cheat dr jones" when you lock a ball without knocking down the targets.
- I like the "hey look, your shoe is untied" on AFM hitting the flipper button in between games

Besides what was already mentioned ( I think AFM is my favorite maybe) POTO has some hillarious call outs. I dunno who is doing the falsetto voice but its pretty horrible and to me that makes it pretty damn funny. Sing again! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

Cyclones Hey you with the face!! was the first one that popped into my head when reading the title of the thread...

On AFM...It just bugs me when the martians taunt you with the you missed me haha!!
and then there is also the one where when you hit the left orbit...the martian says ahhh WOMEN!! Then I have to hit that orbit again ASAP...because the next time he says AHHHH MORE WOMEN!!

On SM when you loose the ball during the ball save, and he says heres your ball back don't ask me again...or when you are in Doc Ock MB, and you loose the ball he says 8 arms maybe he should be playing the game...

Congo when you light one of the top roll over lanes that spell AMY at some point Amy says, I want green drop drink...

Bad Cats when you light the top roll over lanes a girl says ooohhhh nice toy!! and then gotta love the meow meow meow when you go around the center ramp...and the grooowwwwllll when you go around the tiger ramp!!

There are a few others that are cool..... but I figure that is enough for now!!
