* The first season of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' was released without the already recorded commentary tracks due issues that Creator/WarnerBros, the distributor, had with comments Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone made about WB properties. Creator/ComedyCentral had [=CDs=] made as part of a mail-in offer as well as for those who ordered the set directly from them.

* ''CommentaryTheMusical'' to ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingALongBlog'', naturally.

* [[https://itun.es/i6625Tn Back Row Chatter!]] commentary tracks go from snarky to analytical to tangential, depending on the film. During their ''SoulPlane'' episode, the commentators resort to talking about health foods in an attempt to avoid ''actually having to talk about the movie.''
** The commentators repeatedly state that the podcast is meant to work just as well whether or not you're actually watching the movie, although YourMileageMayVary.

* Speaking of Fan Conventions, most anime conventions have the "Bad Anime, Bad!" Panel where a few guests (and the entire audience) team up to rip the worst animation Japan has to offer to hilarious, bloody shreds. These panels are ''notoriously'' hard to get in to as they tend to fill up quickly.

** In a similar vein, the commentary track for ''Film/TropicThunder'' had Creator/RobertDowneyJr.... AS Kirk Lazarus AS Lincoln Osiris (his character from the movie)...
*** Doubly hilarious, since Osiris!Lazarus himself claims in the movie proper that he doesn't drop character until after he's recorded the DVD commentary. Apparently he wasn't kidding.

Apparently, ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' is really popular. With the advent of the DVDCommentary, many, many groups have sprung up to offer their insight onto some of the movies they [[GushingAboutShowsYouLike love]], or [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike hate]], or [[{{Hatedom}} love to hate]], or [[GuiltyPleasures hate to love]]. Some do it much like the original... snarky commentary on bad movies. Some take their favorite movies and add snarky commentary. And some even do snarky commentary on television shows. Whatever the reason, they provide commentaries for your download and enjoyment.

* During the Russel T Davies era of ''Series/DoctorWho'' episodes were accompanied by two different commentaries. One was a podcast available after the episode aired and the other being a regular dvd commentary. Sadly they stopped making the podcast commentaries and even the dvd commentaries aren't on every episode any more.
