One of the sure signs of fascism or totalitarianism is big TV screens, radios and loudspeakers (occasionally mounted on vehicles) and posters plastered all over the streets, with speakers blaring propaganda and messages from the Glorious Leader reminding his subjects to obey authorities, smile because they live under the best leader in the world, and report dissidents. This is different from having a PA system in a private location just broadcasting instructions to visitors or to the staff, because most of the time, people in free countries don't expect to have someone care about their actions and whereabouts at home, on the street, or in public transit. La Résistance may or may not get the chance to hack into the system and broadcast a message of rebellion. If this trope is Played for Laughs, then it may be an example of Megaphone Gag. Related to Big Brother Is Watching. See also Propaganda Piece. Contrast Loudspeaker Truck, a passing vehicle makes a very loud noise to indicate awkwardness. There's also Intercom Villainy, which is when a villain will make passing comments or mock the heroes opposing them over the PA system they are using and give some personality to the what is happening on-screen. |

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2: Kang has loudspeakers allowing him to broadcast his thoughts to the entirety of Chronopolis, including telling someone who beat his high score at a video game that he hates them, or asking the citizens to throw stuff at the Avengers. Everyone, including the NPCs, acknowledge how annoying they are, and a sidequest involves smashing the loudspeakers. | |

Federation Starbases in Star Trek Online have a pool of PSAs that play randomly over the PA, just audibly enough to remind players that, "unaccompanied tribbles are an environmental hazard," or that "starship traffic has right of way". One of them is, "security to the transporter room," intoned with a complete lack of urgency. | |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. features a few. A military roadblock in the Cordon, at the south end of the Zone, mixes warnings for the general populace to stay away from the dangerous Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and a drunken officer yelling at his troops. The other factions - namely, the militaristic Duty and the anarchistic Freedom - spew propaganda to encourage neutral stalkers to join. It's most notable in Clear Sky, the second game. |

In Achille Talon: Le Roi des Zôtres, this is used as part of a Zero-Approval Gambit: the cheap-ass record is supposed to sound like adoring crowds mindlessly repeating their leader's call to war, but starts skipping in the middle. Every listener easily recognizes it as a fake (one noting it must be at least forty years old) and revolts — All According to Plan. | |

The Rainbow Six Siege map "Border" includes looping audio complete with the memetic line "Do NOT attempt to board the helicopter!" Choosing to shoot out the speakers or not is a gameplay decision, since the sound can cover up some of the quieter operators' movements. | |

There are large loudspeakers all over London in V for Vendetta, which implies that the Norsefire government engages in this trope. They get used by the government a grand total of once in the very beginning, announcing that a "yellow-coded curfew is in effect". Otherwise, the only use they get is when V hijacks them to provide a soundtrack for his fireworks-laden bombings. | |

Hyperion-controlled locations in Borderlands 2 tend to have this; the content of the recordings vary depending on where you are and whether the area is populated mostly by robots or people (yes, they speak canned orders over PA to robots; don't think too much about it, it's cool). Mostly it's delivered by an automated voice, although sometimes it's a recording of Handsome Jack instead, and in Lynchwood it's always the Sheriff or Deputy Winger. | |

Half-Life 2: The usual orders from Overwatch to the Civil Protection troops (which are transmitted over loudspeakers for everyone else to hear) are often mixed up with short motivational speeches and warnings of the consequences of resisting Combine rule. Episode 1 hints that Overwatch is some sort of AI, as damage to the Citadel causes her to malfunction, issuing gibberish orders in the same stilted monotone and repeating phrases over and over. By Episode 2 she's been replaced with a new system who speaks in a terse, colder tone. Doctor Breen's "Breencasts" certainly fit as well, since they praise the regime of "Our Benefactors". Sure enough, La Résistance hacks them at one point, and Dr. Kleiner begins broadcasting a message of hope, rebellion, and whatever else happens to come to mind at the moment of recording, including a very sesquipedalian recap of events thus far in the storyline and urgings to take advantage of the collapse of the Combine suppression field to, ahem, do your part for the re-population of humanity. Which is unfortunate, since it's supposed to be brief evacuation notice. |

In Paranoia, Friend Computer has always used the PA system set up throughout Alpha Complex to efficiently broadcast timely and pertinent official messages and mandatory quarter-hourly morale enhancement to the citizenry. The introduction of personal data devices to each citizen merely makes this system more perfect. Naturally, these messages are always useful and coherent and are never bizarre, unworldly gibberish, nor does a Troubleshooter's personal data device ever deliver such messages when he is trying to sneak somewhere, and anyone claiming that such things take place is a traitor and should be executed. | |

SCP Foundation: In the fan film SCP: Overlord, the voice of the leader of a New Age cult can be heard as the MTF team move in to investigate the Unknown Phenomenon. The recording continues even after they've shot the cult leader concerned, much to their annoyance. SCP-1678 is a replica of Victorian London placed underneath the real London. It's intended to serve as an Apocalypse Bunker, a fact revealed from the pre-recorded propaganda message that plays whenever someone enters it. Other announcements play every hour, warning citizens to be vigilant about various SCP threats. |

Batman: Arkham Series: In Batman: Arkham Asylum, Joker takes over the PA system along with the rest of the island. He does the same in the prequel Batman: Arkham Origins, this time in Blackgate Prison. Various rules are spoken out throughout Batman: Arkham City by Dr. Hugo Strange throughout your time in the city, including the countdown to Protocol 10. Once Protocol 10 is initiated and Strange is later killed by Ra's al Ghul, the announcements stop. |

Warframe: The Grineer deploy Regulator drones in certain tilesets that broadcast a constant stream of propaganda. The propaganda actually buffs nearby Mooks. The Kuva Fortress, the seat of the Grineer's power, has video screens throughout that occasionally display broadcasts from the Worm Queen. The Narmer faction, from The New War into the Veilbreaker questline, utilize propaganda drones in many of their maps. In fact, during a specific map, Kahl can activate these drones to lure away Narmer Deacons from his intended path. |

Underwater.

Red Faction: The EDF have... let's see... the Voice of Mars, an almost unnoticeable military announcer (usually drowned out by explosions or gunfire) for base PAs, the obviously-canned "Get out of the vehicle and you will not be harmed!" vehicle PAs, and finally another civilian announcer for the curfew timer and other minor notifications, such as asking civilians to report suspicious activity. After a sector is liberated, the announcements change to friendlier (and often pro-Red Faction) announcements. The first game has Ultor using the mines' PA system to boss miners around. |

Negativland's song "Christianity Is Stupid" takes the piss out of a terrible Christian propaganda film (see it here) by Sampling a sermon by Rev. Estus Pirkle. The preacher describes what he thinks the U.S. would be like under totalitarian Commuist rule, with loudspeakers constantly blaring "Christianity is stupid! Communism is good! Give up!". The remix repeats these words obsessively and completely out of context over a musical backing of insistently pounding drum machines and ominous Heavy Metal guitars. Conceived and produced by the late Richard Lyons after he found an album by Pirkle in a thrift shop, it was later used to create one of the group's more massive scandals. | |

Borderlands: In Borderlands, all of the major arms manufacturers seem to enjoy doing this (particularly Atlas and Jacobs, who have both featured prominently in DLC). Hyperion-controlled locations in Borderlands 2 tend to have this; the content of the recordings vary depending on where you are and whether the area is populated mostly by robots or people (yes, they speak canned orders over PA to robots; don't think too much about it, it's cool). Mostly it's delivered by an automated voice, although sometimes it's a recording of Handsome Jack instead, and in Lynchwood it's always the Sheriff or Deputy Winger. Parodied in a quest of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! wherein an unfortunate female announcer is saying ridiculous stuff (like "booty salads") because she just sits in a dark room and reads what's she's given, and who's giving her stuff is some bored Dahl soldier Mooks.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: This always seems to be happening on Cardassia Prime. According to the Star Trek Novel 'Verse, a permit is required to not have them playing in any public space, such as a restaurant. They even play them in mess halls aboard Central Command starships. In the episode "Civil Defense", Sisko, O'Brien and Jake are working in one of the old ore-processing centers when O'Brien accidentally triggers a leftover Cardassian program designed to put down a Bajoran workers' insurrection. Dukat repeatedly pops up in pre-recorded videos telling the "workers" to surrender before they get killed. Sisko attempts to surrender, initially resulting in another pre-recorded message from Dukat praising the decision; however, they are unable to supply the proper Cardassian security codes to confirm their "surrender", resulting in yet another pre-recorded message from Dukat lamenting their choice as the program releases a lethal gas into the ore processing chamber. The program eventually sends out a pre-recorded distress signal, which the real Dukat receives. He transports onto the station, gloats about their impending doom, and tries to transport back out; the transport fails, and one final pre-recorded message plays, this time from Dukat's then-superior in the Cardassian government. The message excoriates Dukat for trying to flee the station, revokes all of his security codes, and encourages him to die like a Cardassian. Dukat's phrase "ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS" has become a meme in Star Trek fan circles. |

In Mass Effect 3, as you storm through Grissom Academy, the Cerberus commander in charge for attacking the facility and abducting the last few students remaining attempts to demoralize and sway the students over the intercom. You can shut him up if you find and shoot the generator powering the computer that's hijacked the academy's PA system, which then allows Kahlee Sanders, the level's Mission Control, to do a heroic version of this trope. | |

In V for Vendetta, unlike the movie (see below), the public address system is used for a nightly broadcast from the Voice of Fate (which V enjoys toying with, first driving the man who provides the voice insane, and later hijacking it for his own address). Later, after Finch reports that V is dead, the government wastes no time getting that news out over the public address system. | |

Halo Infinite: One of the objectives you can fulfil is the destruction of Banished Propaganda Towers, which broadcast messages from a Grunt communications officer. Their propaganda messages are a mix of the communications officer giving some insight into life in the Banished's forces and demoralising remarks towards the scant UNSC remnants still on the ring. As the player progresses, these reports gradually devolved into hilariously transparent attempts to cover up the Master Chief's dismantling of the Banished's garrisons and leadership. | |

Mass Effect: The Trope Namer is Mass Effect 2, in which you hear Jedore, a Blue Suns officer, doing this during the mission on Korlus. None of your team members are impressed, and one of them inevitably serves up a Lampshade Hanging. Here is a list of all the squad reactions to hearing the loudspeaker for the first time (including characters that you shouldn't have at that point in the game). Even the henchmen get in on it after a while, noting it'd be more helpful if their boss came out and fought instead of yelling at them. In Mass Effect 3, as you storm through Grissom Academy, the Cerberus commander in charge for attacking the facility and abducting the last few students remaining attempts to demoralize and sway the students over the intercom. You can shut him up if you find and shoot the generator powering the computer that's hijacked the academy's PA system, which then allows Kahlee Sanders, the level's Mission Control, to do a heroic version of this trope. Mass Effect: Andromeda has three separate examples. During the side mission "Dissension in the Ranks", they find canned orders sowing discontentment and treason through the ranks of the kett. Ryder tries to track down the source of the signal, only to find that they were intentionally led to a bunker with a communications system set up by the Primus, the kett's second-in-command. The Primus wants to help Ryder take down the Archon (for her own benefit) and will attempt to strike a deal. Alternatively, should the player leave this mission till after taking down the Archon, the mission plays out differently — Ryder finds many Archon loyalists executed, and messages from the Primus detailing her plan of action is now that she's in charge: Kill any remaining Archon loyalists, then call home for backup. During Jaal's Loyalty Mission, Jaal's former friend-turned-Absolute Xenophobe, Akksul, has anti-alien propaganda blaring over speakers through his base. Ryder's team lampshades how annoying the repeated message is and that, knowing the type of person Akksul is, there's probably no way of turning it off. The mission to the Archon's ship has a kett blaring out angry instructions over the loudspeaker as Ryder and their team massacre their way through the ship. They eventually stop when Pathfinder Zavin Raeka introduces herself to the guy via her guns. |

In Dishonored, not only are there canned orders over loudspeaker, but you also hear one of the main villain's announcements. One of the Low Chaos options you have is to make the guy playing the recordings switch them out and play a rather revealing message that shows the main villain for what he really is. You can also assassinate the voice of the recordings and they will be replaced by a different person in later missions. | |

In NieR: Automata, the Council of Humanity gives occasional uplifting broadcasts from their moon base, urging the Android forces to continue the fight against the alien-built Machines occupying Earth. By the middle of the game, you learn that humans are long extinct and the "Council of Humanity" is a sham put up by Androids' leadership to keep their army from falling into despair. Then you play through an operation that becomes an absolute fiasco, and get to hear one of the "encouraging" Council of Humanity messages while your character is limping away to find a quiet place to die, just for a bit of salt in the wound. | |

Chernobyl uses the real audio of the order to evacuate Pripyat after the titular disaster, beginning with "Vnimanie, vnimanie" (attention, attention). Loudspeakers mounted on military vehicles drive through the city, announcing to the populace that they need to take a few days' worth of luggage for a "temporary evacuation", which ended up being permanent as the town was too irradiated to be safe for human life for the foreseeable future. The ominous announcement is also used in the show's trailer. | |

Final Fantasy X: The Al Bhed's (the rebellious tech-using faction) home is attacked while you're present, and you have to fight your way out while a loudspeaker keeps repeating something in the Al Bhed language. It's not pro-regime propaganda (they're the ones attacking), but it's no less annoying. | |

A secondary Objective early in the Crysis spinoff campaign Warhead has the player character, Psycho, tasked with blowing up a mobile radio jammer the North Koreans are using to spam instructions to surrender to the American Marines. At that point in the campaign, you don't have any anti-vehicle guns, so you can accomplish it by stacking landmines under it and setting them off with a grenade. | |

Blake's 7: "The Way Back" opens with a security camera panning over drugged and docile citizens walking zombielike through white-painted corridors to the cheerful sound of muzak and a voice announcing various government directives. In "Redemption", our heroes are captured by the computer-controlled dystopia that built the Liberator. Despite not being in the Federation they have all the standard tropes of a sci-fi dystopia: black-clad Faceless Goons, bases that look like British nuclear power stations, and this trope calling on guards to capture and eliminate a group of rogue slaves (it serves a foreshadowing when one of these slaves turns up to help them). In "Killer", as a Synthetic Plague sweeps through a Federation base, tannoy speakers announce that the situation is under control and everyone is to remain at their post, after a scene where people are shown fleeing in panic and dying in the corridors. In Season 4, the Terran Federation has spread its empire due to Government Drug Enforcement. In "Warlord", secret resistance video shows Federation citizens with zombie-like expressions and numerals stamped on their foreheads, moving listlessly up and down elevators while a soothing voice tells them, "You are cared for. You are loved." The voice continues even when the guards get bored and start shooting people for fun. |

Macross: Do You Remember Love?: Though not really propagandistic, the civilians aboard the Macross are on the receiving end of a couple throughout the film, usually warning that the ship is under attack/about to transform and that it would be a very good idea to seek shelter or shelter in place. A later sequence shows Admiral Global taking over the ship's civilian broadcasting network to announce the brokering of a peace treaty between the Macross and Vrlitwhai'snote Britai/Breetai's fleet. |

Mass Effect: Andromeda has three separate examples. During the side mission "Dissension in the Ranks", they find canned orders sowing discontentment and treason through the ranks of the kett. Ryder tries to track down the source of the signal, only to find that they were intentionally led to a bunker with a communications system set up by the Primus, the kett's second-in-command. The Primus wants to help Ryder take down the Archon (for her own benefit) and will attempt to strike a deal. Alternatively, should the player leave this mission till after taking down the Archon, the mission plays out differently — Ryder finds many Archon loyalists executed, and messages from the Primus detailing her plan of action is now that she's in charge: Kill any remaining Archon loyalists, then call home for backup. During Jaal's Loyalty Mission, Jaal's former friend-turned-Absolute Xenophobe, Akksul, has anti-alien propaganda blaring over speakers through his base. Ryder's team lampshades how annoying the repeated message is and that, knowing the type of person Akksul is, there's probably no way of turning it off. The mission to the Archon's ship has a kett blaring out angry instructions over the loudspeaker as Ryder and their team massacre their way through the ship. They eventually stop when Pathfinder Zavin Raeka introduces herself to the guy via her guns. |
