Commentaries with actors in character..
 

I just finished watching the Reno 911!: Miami DVD with two commentaries by the actors in character as the deputies. I found them very enjoyable. They reminded me of two other commentaries with actors in character (This is Spinal Tap & Bubbo-ho-tep), both of which I also enjoyed.

My question is...What other DVDs, if any, have commentaries with actors in character?

Thanks

Isn't Jason Mewes basically being himself as Jay? Especially on the Mallrats commentary.

IIRC the one on Bubba Ho Tep is done this way.

I'm Alan Partridge: Series 1
Snide and Prejudice
Fubar: The Movie
Ali G Indahouse: The Movie

The Ali G one is especially hilarious.

The Comeback has Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish in a commentary for an episode.

Greg the Bunny has the puppets for a commentary for an episode.

Space Jam
Powerpuff Girls Movie (Select scenes only)

Bubba HO-TEP commentary is accually Bruce campbell doing it as if he were the real elvis (the real elvis as in the real elvis in real life, not the real elvis in the movie) in an undisclosed location, watching the movie bubba ho-tep which he has never seen befor staring some guy with a big chin, named bruce campbell playing him (elvis) and a small role as an elvis impersonater

"Mr. Show" has some of this. At times, the commentators play different characters (not characters from the show IIRC though).

Does the Mickey Mouse commentary on "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Fantasia count?

I remembered some more. The Brak Show: Volume 1 has commentary with Brak. I believe The Convent (2000, Lion's Gate) has two characters doing one of the commentaries. Brother Bear has in-character commentary from Rutt & Tuke. And Eight Crazy Nights has a commentary where Sandler appears as some of the characters.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned this Spinal tap yet, and ther is at least one track on the freaks and geeks dvd with the actors in character.

I would have mentioned Spinal Tap if the OP hadn't mentioned it first. :)

Sorry I didn't see that before I post it.

Theatrical version of Talladega Nights has a 30 years later commentary

Incident at Loch Ness. Zak Penn and Werner Herzog play themselves in the film and stay in character during the commentary. There is a hidden commentary if I remember where they actually talk about the film.

I haven't seen it yet, but Notorious C.H.O. has Margaret Cho commenting as her mother.

There's at least one of the Ren & Stimpy Show eps with commentary by John K as Ren and that other guy who isn't Billy West as Stimpy.

Family Guy (some/part of commentaries)
Space Ghost C2C (at least 1)
King of the Hill (some commentaries)
Shaun of the Dead R2 (read it has commentaries by the zombies, not sure if that means in character or not, unconfirmed)
Muppets from Space (read it has commentaries with Kermit, Gonzo, and Rizzo, unconfirmed)

Special Note: Blood Simple has a commentary by a fictional film historian and critic, Kenneth Loring.

Edit: I KNEW there was already a thread on this: Commentaries done "in character" ?

Even though it sucked <b>August Underground</b> has a commentary with the "killer".

If I remember what I read about the zombie commentary it starts off like it is an in character zombie commentary and then becomes a real commentary with the actors who played featured zombies

I've always hoped they'd release a SouthPark the Movie SE with incharacter commentary.

Garth Merenghi's Darkplace has commentary in Character on all the episodes and it's amazing.

occasionally they break out into a communal


waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-oooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!

(gun shot)

[splat!]

no in all seriousness the commentary track is quite fun to listen to, sad to see it relagated only to the R2 disc.

I thought those two tracks were hilarious. rotfl

I think Freaks & Geeks has an episode or two with the actors playing their roles. Mr. Rosso is one, I think.

hmmm.... sounds like it's time to hit E-Bay and put my Region-Free player to work...
