* [[http://downinfront.net/ Down In Front]], a podcast which has less to do with snark and more to do with intelligent conversation about whatever film is the subject of that particular week, along with plenty of laughs and tidbits along the way. The creators and hosts are big fans of Wiki/TVTropes, and reference various tropes on nearly every episode.

* [[https://itun.es/i6625Tn Back Row Chatter!]] commentary tracks go from snarky to analytical to tangential, depending on the film.

The commentators repeatedly state that the podcast is meant to work just as well whether or not you're actually watching the movie.

* ''WebAnimation/BrokenSaints'' Chapter 19 Act 1 features a hidden audio track that basically consists of the creators goofing around making jokes about the episode and saying the lines in funny voices.

** 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.
** The Creator/{{MGM}} versions of ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap'' have commentary from Creator/ChristopherGuest, Creator/HarryShearer and Michael [=McKean=] as the band members they play, attacking director Marty [=DiBergi=] for the "hatchet job" he made of them.

* During the Creator/RussellTDavies era of ''Series/DoctorWho'' episodes were accompanied by two different commentaries.

* One of the commentaries on the ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'' DVD is by the moose brothers Rutt & Tuke, played by Creator/RickMoranis and Dave Thomas. You even get MST-like silhouettes when they get up to answer the door for their pizza. Said pizza man then joins the commentary.
* The DVD issues of the pre-1989 ''Doctor Who'' stories have a couple of examples. "The Five Doctors" had an PromotedFanboy (and Fangirl) commentary by Creator/DavidTennant, producer Phil Collinson, and writer Helen Raynor, and "Survival" had an alternate commentary on the final episode only by some fans who won a competition in ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine''.

* ''Film/TheRulesOfAttraction'' features a commentary track by Creator/CarrotTop, who has never seen the film before and cracks jokes throughout. This was intended as a meta-joke by the director.
* The commentaries for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames'' are full of Podcast/RiffTrax-like comments intended for the show's PeripheryDemographic. ''Rainbow Rocks'' in particular has a ToiletHumor comment about some mystical green smoke (representing the "negative energy" the Sirens feed on) in the cafeteria, some {{Gag Dub}}s, EpilepticTrees, and suggestions for fan-made spinoffs.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' did this twice. The DVD of the movie have sections of the movie where the girls do a commentary. The 10th Anniversary Box Set had two episodes where a character did a commentary - the Mayor did a commentary on ''Something's A Ms'' and Mojo Jojo did a commentary on ''Slumbering With The Enemy''.

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 [[Administrivia/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.
