There is a recent topic for best callouts. How about worst callouts? Ones that you cringe when hearing.
To start things off in High Roller Casino the callout "I'll take them anyway I can get them. . . just like my women" makes me cringe and I hope people don't overhear it.
Any other awful callouts?
My wife and I get a good laugh out of the terrible Bally/Williams over sexualized 90s tables, mostly TOM's "Shoot for the magic trunk!" but a lot of them like JackBot, TOTAN. You just gotta feel bad for the girl voice actor who was just given these lines to say suggestively and probably has never played a game of pinball in her life.
I dunno about worst but here are a few imho.
The most annoying: Jackpot callout in Earthshaker.
The completely indistinguishable: whatever Homer Simpson says with the kickback on the DE Simpsons.
Cringifest: High Roller Casino the callout "I'll take them anyway I can get them. . . just like my women"
One that makes me the angriest on location: ToM - "You must concentrate!" THE HELL DO YOU THINK I'M DOING???
Breakshot can be grating at times, I like the machine though.
Laughing girls in Houdini can be a bit much as well (though not sure those are callouts as much as sound effects).
Quoted from maf-mi:Stargate by a mile, SHOOT THE PYRAMID.
Worse than "Shoot the spinnnnner......Shoot the basket!!!" ? 
Now let's leave before the Gottlieb lovers start telling us how to disable those call outs
Quoted from radial_head:The completely indistinguishable: whatever Homer Simpson says with the kickback on the DE Simpsons.
That's Apu saying "come again". The left targets and outlane is the Kwik-E-Mart.
I could start listing them but I hope ur not busy for about a month. 
The ones that immediately came to mind
SS
Met
Xmen
TWD
Americas most haunted
BK3
alot of JP3. "Why would Nedry do this"
Oh man I gotta stop before I make myself sick.
Here's my question and something that makes me so sad.
How did they ever get a final approval. Its terrible.
Oh I forgot and damn u QuietEarp for making relive these atrocities of voice over work.
GOTG and worse of all SMvault 
Quoted from Doctor6:What in the fuck are you talking about?
Sorry it confused you. The call outs in Metallica are embarrassing. What do you find appealing about those guys telling u to make shots and the other rotten call outs that are meant to be funny and just aren't at all. Its awful. I like the music, expect for anything after Justice but I could live with that, otherwise. Garbage. U know what am talking about?
The Sean Mockery vo in Indiana Jones, worst vo acting I've ever heard in a pinball game. In fact most Stern games have awful vo, I think they do it themselves to save a few quid.
Quoted from ViperJelly:Breakshot can be grating.
Breakshot by a mile!!
That girl’s voice is nails on a chalkboard.
Fastest I have ever sold a machine- all because of that voice...
Bone's callouts on Stern Star Trek are pretty weak. I don't blame Karl Urban though, I have a feeling it was a lack of coaching on how to do good callouts.
Quoted from Coindork:Any licensed them that didn’t get the actual actors voices and voice actors sound nothing at all like the original.
Good call, stern potc annoys the hell outta me.
No Good Gofers. Voted number 1; Route tech complained of broken glass and vandalism.
You don't know how to play this game. great
I like most of the call outs in MET expect for Lars’ stupid ones. Especially “Hey kid we’re gonna fry him real good” or some shit like that. Dumb. Say something like hey dude, or bub, or man or something other than kid.
Draining your last ball on Riverboat Gambler the lady says in an obnoxious way:
Cashing out?
But she holds onto her syllables way too long.

Shoot the death star?
Quoted from sunnRAT:DE Star Wars: C3PO's crying obsession for you to "SHOOT THE DEATH STAR"
Crap you beat me to it.

Not really? If you have better ideas for what could be said maybe I could understand. They are just band dudes. Not much else you can do.
Quoted from Viggin900:Not really? If you have better ideas for what could be said maybe I could understand. They are just band dudes. Not much else you can do.
Here's a better idea. Have the call outs all sound like Charlie Browns teacher that would have been better. The best option? do the same thing as IronMaiden. Those were good sounding voice actors for the theme, decent call outs too. I don't want to hear Lars say anything while I'm playing a game, and the other 3. It was very bland and dry and just bad. Hey if u like it good. Luckily I was able to attenuate them out of existence and loved my Pre.
Quoted from BillySastard:Bone's callouts on Stern Star Trek are pretty weak. I don't blame Karl Urban though,
That was as stupid as having Winston doing call outs on GB's. Just use the movie qoutes and a voice actor for the jackpots and stuff.

I felt that when stern first implemented them it was a train wreck. They just recorded and slammed them in with no editing. Then, they went back and mixed them in properly with the correct queues, mixing quality, and proper variety; and now, on the current code I think theyre awesome and fit the game very well.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Hazzlehoff they're not THAT bad dude. At least they used the real band. Imagine how shitty it would be been with voice actors lol.
Jimmy Hetfield woulda never let that happen cause he's a pinhead like us.
I didn't like them. I agree though if they had voice actors pretending to be the band it would have been shit and rather disturbing. 
I personally would have preferred no band members. Imagine if they made a Slayer pin and ruined with K King call outs, wouldn't u prefer and nice deep evil voice by a seasoned voice actor. I know you would Gryszzz, I just know it.
