Those are muses, not this trope.: Greek Chorus

This trope is not a bunch of singer that happen to be Greek.

Kind of five faces (and lampsheded by the caption!), but... they look Greek... and they look like a gospel quintet... it's okay...

Again, those traits are not really what make this trope.

They are, in fact, in-story commentators. Like I said, not much better than JFFAAC. But I think a little better.

Okay, I haven't seen the movie, but since this is about being a commentator, dialog is actually necessary to show the trope.

Here's the old thread...it didn't go anywhere. The pic was added back in October.

BTW the key difference between a Greek Chorus and a Peanut Gallery is that the former is on-stage / part of the show, and the latter is off-stage / not part of the show.

In which case, the current pic is a Peanut Gallery, and not this trope.

Uh, no. Part of the show, not story. The muses in (Disney's) Hercules are definitely a Greek Chorus. In The Muppet Show Show Within a Show, Statler And Waldorf are in the audience. And are a Peanut Gallery.

Ah. nm, then.

But the picture doesn't show them doing the trope. It would be like a picture for Pimped-Out Dress where a character is in a swimsuit, even though she wears very fancy dresses in other parts of the show.

Yep. I don't think it's very good.

The dress analogy isn't right though, they don't "change outfits".

Any good examples from comics we could use?

Clocking for inactivity.

It could technically count as a Visual Pun (which iirc are sometimes allowed), since they are a chorus in a Greek-Mythology-themed movie. It would be nice if we could find something demonstrative, however.

Clock has expired. Locking as inconclusive. If you wish to reopen the discussion please holler.
