* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
** Crack Stuntman, the in-universe voice of Gunhaver on ''WebAnimation/CheatCommandos'', is physically based on veteran voice actor Creator/FrankWelker.
** A minor character who appears as TheVoice in some latter-day cartoons is Tucker Donaldson, a stuffy spokesman for fake websites about Halloween safety and campus safety who accuses the Brothers Chaps of making fun of the former organization and Marzipan's band Cool Tapes of starting a riot at a student union. His stuttering vocal cadence seems to be a parody of conservative pundit Tucker Carlson.

I did, however, have sex with that woman, that woman, those two women, and possibly that guy.", or "I did not inhale. I took it rectally, and I did not enjoy it as much as I had hoped."
