Trivia / The Commentary Community

• Acting for Two: Many commentators “co-op” with their own characters, often voiced by themselves.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: A frequent occurrence with retired commentators who delete all the commentaries on their channel is that other YouTubers will archive the missing videos onto alternate channels to preserve their existence and so that people who enjoyed the videos in the past or missed out on them when they were available can still view them. However...
  • Missing Episode: There are still a number of commentaries that have completely vanished into the ether for one reason or another. Some reasons include no archives of the video existing, the user not wanting the video re-uploaded (whether it be due to past regret, personal drama, or any other reasoning), or the user suddenly disappearing with no means of making their videos accessible among other things.
• Special Guest: Even outside of co-ops, commentators still sometimes appear in the works of others to make cameos, provide another perspective on a situation, or act in skits throughout the video.
