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

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.

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.

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" ?
