 The 

fourth, fifth and sixth season box sets of The Simpsons contain special "illustrated

commentaries" on selected episodes, where two animation directors draw on screen
while commenting on the episode. This is achieved by using subtitle data to produce the
drawings overlaid on top of the video in sync with the audio commentary track.
 The Simpsons and Futurama, both Matt Groening creations, are among the few TV
series to have audio commentary tracks on every episode in their season box set DVD
releases. For Futurama, the commentators point out who voiced minor characters. The
actors for these characters are otherwise unlisted in the ending credits. Doctor Who, Mr.
Show, Red Dwarf, volumes 4 and onwards of Family Guy, the first season sets of Twin
Peaks, The Shield and Goodnight Sweetheart and all episodes and specials of The
League of Gentlemen are other examples of this.
 The commentary for Eurotrip has the writers and director playing a drinking game to their
own film, while giving a commentary.
 When the first season of Veronica Mars was rushed to DVD so first-time viewers could
catch up before the second season began airing in Fall 2005, the creator, Rob Thomas,
recorded an audio commentary for the pilot which was a downloadable podcast because
there was not time to get it on the boxed set.
 In lieu of recording a commentary himself, Michael Moore allowed
his interns and secretary to record the audio commentary for his documentary Bowling
for Columbine.
 On the DVD release of Shaun of the Dead, one (of the four) commentary tracks is given
over entirely to a recording of the actors who played zombies in the movie. The first cast
audio commentary (including Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield, Lucy
Davis and Dylan Moran) also mocks audio commentaries as the cast admit that they
almost never listen to them (with Pegg claiming he listens to them when going to sleep),
as well as Moran saying that they simply involve people saying things like "oh, we used
a steadi-cam for that one because Roger had a bad knee", and that no-one was
interested in hearing it.
 There is a fake commentary on the DVD of Dodgeball: A True Underdog
Story with Rawson Marshall Thurber, Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller arguing. 40 minutes
into it, all three exit and the commentary is replaced with the audio commentary
from There's Something About Mary. The real audio commentary can be found as an
Easter egg on the DVD.
 On the audio commentaries for seasons of The Venture Bros., Jackson Publick and Doc
Hammer have conversations that have little to do with the episodes being shown.
 On the cast and crew commentary for Superbad, Judd Apatow orders the actors not to
swear in front of his nine-year-old daughter Maude, who is also present for the recording.
Actor Jonah Hill restrains himself from cursing until halfway through the movie, and he
proceeds to chide Apatow for "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day." After this argument,
Apatow and his daughter leave to go attend a showing of
the Broadway musical Spamalot, and the remaining cast and crew begin swearing
profusely immediately after their departure.
 The cast commentary of Tropic Thunder features Ben Stiller and Jack Black as
themselves, while Robert Downey Jr. is in character as Lincoln Osiris, and later Kirk
Lazarus, before dropping character at the end. This is a reference to a line spoken in the
film by Lazarus: "I don't drop character 'til I've done the DVD commentary."
