Any "in character" commentaries?
 
Has there ever been a DVD released where the cast did commentaries as the characters they play? Example, instead of hearing a commentary by the actor that does the voice for Homer Simpson, you get a commentary by Homer himself?

This seems to me like it would have much potential for hillarity. Never heard one though.

Spinal Tap

William Fuld 03-08-04 01:16 PM

This is Spinal Tap
King of the Hill - Seasons 1 and 2

Aphex Twin 03-08-04 01:17 PM

Did you see the Barbarian Walters interview with Shrek after the Oscars?

Pants 03-08-04 01:27 PM

Yeah, it was almost as good as her interview with The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Does anyone remember that? Why this woman still has any credibility with audiences is the mystery of the ages.

Damfino 03-08-04 01:27 PM

The Spinal Tap commentary is hysterical.

I'm surprised this isn't done more often.

Damage 03-08-04 01:51 PM

Tap, KotH, and the mighty FUBAR...

"Just give'r."

A few of the powerpuff girls have commentaries from Mojo Jojo and the Mayor. They're pretty funny.

Mondo Kane 03-08-04 02:18 PM

Uh, Mickey and Donald in Fantasia 2000?
Bugs & Daffy in Space Jam?

Apocrypha 03-08-04 02:19 PM

one of my favorite commentaries is
Mr. Show season one where most of the participants lapse into characters (some from the show) to hilarious effect.

scott shelton 03-08-04 02:20 PM

It's hard for the "characters" to keep up with comments...

The Muppets did one once, and it was funny for about 30 minutes, then it became clear they had nothing of substance to say.

BROTHER BEAR and BUBBA HO-TEP have character commentaries coming up.

ThatGuamGuy 03-08-04 02:32 PM

'Country Bears' has two really, really funny guys -- Stephen Root and Dietrich Bater -- playing their characters from the movie.

What? You didn't say they had to be good movies.

Venom 03-08-04 02:35 PM

the mike mendez film the convent has these two retarded wannabe satanists in the film and they do a in character commentary for the film.

NYHOFSTRA 03-08-04 02:52 PM

The upcoming Freaks and Geeks DVDs have in-character commentaries on some discs, I read.

Margaret Cho's Notorious C.H.O. has a commentary with her as her mother.

Megatron 03-08-04 02:55 PM

muppets in space

galaxy quest

punkmonkey 03-08-04 02:57 PM

Boy, was the Notorious C.H.O. "Margaret's mother" commentary not entertaining. The actual comedy performance itself was hilarious, but don't rent it for the commentary.

bboisvert 03-08-04 02:58 PM

Kermit's Swamp Years

ReduxGuy 03-08-04 02:59 PM

The Bubba Ho-Tep DVD has a "Bruce Campbell as Elvis" commentary which should be hysterical.

BobSolo 03-08-04 03:20 PM

I remember hoping for an in character commentary for South Park the movie, but no luck.

Falc04 03-08-04 03:34 PM

The Fairly Oddparents...although Wanda and Cosmo's voices start to wear on you after a while....

"I'm Barbara Walters, and I used to be... a respected journalist."

madmoose1 03-08-04 04:09 PM

santa clause 2 - the director keeps talking like the north pole and elves are a secret. REALLY ANNOYING!

JestersTear 03-08-04 04:30 PM

Doesn't the new National Lampoon's Vacation DVD advertise a commentary track from the Griswold family?

RevKarl 03-08-04 04:34 PM

I understand the U.S. is being charged with Geneva Convention violations for forcing Taliban prisoners to listen to
Dana Carvey's commentary as "The Turtle Guy" for The Master of Disguise.

MEJHarrison 03-08-04 05:36 PM

The Jonah Veggietales movie has an in-character commentary.

JuryDuty 03-08-04 06:08 PM

Tim Allen's GalaxyQuest has an in-character audio track by the aliens.... :)

These commentaries are hilarious. :up:

harpo787 03-08-04 11:06 PM

Another one: Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights...one commentary track is Whitey and Eleanore and one of the writers. I only heard about 5 minutes or so of it...interesting to hear Sandler start swearing in those voices...but just couldn't tolerate the voices in general...

How about Carrot Top's commentary for Rules of Attraction? No, he's not actually in the movie...but nonetheless...he's such a character! Sigh...that wasn't funny...but his commentary for that flick is pretty funny..."Hey Eric Stoltz...my brother! How about hooking me up with a movie role?"

DarthMarino 03-09-04 11:22 AM

Martin Landau is in character for the introduction of the Ed Wood commentary.

Actually, the Galaxy Quest is not a commentary track per se. It is billed as a Thermian Dialogue track - the intent was that the dialogue was 'dubbed' in the alien thermian language...

Mexican Menace 03-09-04 01:00 PM

Ice Age has a "Movie Overview" commentary by Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo) that's pretty good.

RockyMtnBri 03-09-04 01:47 PM

Mojo Jojo's commentary on "Slumbering With The Enemy" is a riot! "Go Mojesha, it's yo' birfday!"

In the Fairly Oddparents Movie, at one point Cosmo laughs and points out that Timmy's dad turns the video camera off when Mom is in the scene!

Fubar rules and so does the in character commentary.

Dammit 03-21-04 10:00 PM

I actually came here to ask this question again, nearly forgetting that's what I did last time I posted. I thought I thought about doing it, but never did it. Errr, hmmm. :p

Thanks for the replies. The Simpsons just BEGS for something like this. I hope they do it on at least one episode by the time all the DVD's are out.

NitroJMS 03-21-04 10:21 PM

On the Family Guy commentaries, Seth McFarlane and the voice actors occasionally slip into character to make comments on the show.

bub2000 03-21-04 10:56 PM

Same with the Futurama commentaries. John Di Maggio and Billy West often go into Bender and Fry voices (and the rest). Billy tries to go all out on one of them as Fry, not knowing who Billy West is.
