I think David X has to get it for sheer longevity. He's theonly one to do all of the commentaries, and he's always interesting.
Thats said, Maurice LaMarche's shatner impression on Amazon Women is the best moment ever on a dvd commentary. FACT!

um matt groenig does as well. except on one season 4 when he leaves at the beginning to make a phone call, but matt david are executive producers so of course they do, matt lets david talk more since he's more involved as matt has to spend time on simpsons and other things

I think the best commentaries are the ones that feature both John Dimagio and Billy West at the same time. If I must choose one, I'd say Dimagio, but Billy's Nixon impression is funny stuff!

Yeah, that "Nobody cares" bit was when young Phillip pulls the Breakfast Club soundtrack from the vault. John DiMaggio: I got to work with Anthony Michael Hall on a film. He's fun. Nice guy! Billy West: (singing) Nobody cares, nobody cares... (John DiMaggio joins in) John then sings it again when he tells everyone the classic story of when he saw Simple Minds at Radio City Music Hall as a kid. What a guy.

I'd have to say it's a tie between Billy West and DXC. I love Billy's voice and Mr. Cohen makes some great observations. I think I relate more to DXC because he's just as much a TV, etc... nerd as most of us on this board are.

Well, seeing as this thread's been resurected I may as wll say my favourite parts in the commentaries. Most of them have already been stated but the guess the Zoidberg comp. and John and Billy singing as Bender and Fry during the credits of Pharoah to Remember were hilarious. Also, when David rang Matt during Future Stock. Funny stuff. Favourite commentators: 3 way tie between DiMaggio, West and Cohen. Sorry I can't be more original.

I watched TLOTF at the weekend, it has the best commentary on it I've heard, espicially the 'internet' comments from David x.
I say the best I've ever heard cos I don't remember the rest. straight off.

After reading through some of this thread I've noticed that many people think that Matt Groening is the worst commentator. In a way, I disagree. I mean, he's not as informative as David Cohen, but he does offer some useful bits of knowledge and makes some pretty funny comments. I liked his question in the commentary for "Put Your Head on My Shoulder":
Matt Groening: What's the Harvard comedy writers' obsession with Abe Lincoln?
As you may or may not recall, he asks this question again when Ken Keeler mentions that he thinks that the word underpants is 20% funnier then the word underwear. All I'm trying to say is that Matt Groening does make some good comments. Speaking of underwear, I love it when Susie Deiter starts this conversation in the commentary for "The Honking":
Ken Keeler: Once again proving my theory that the word 'underpants' is 20% funnier than the word 'underwear'.
Susie Dieter: What about panties?
Ken Keeler: What are panties?
Susie Dieter: Well, how funny are panties?
Ken Keeler: What are panties?
Rich Moore: Ken doesn't know what panties are.
Matt Groening: Panties are not funny, panties are arousing.
Laughs
Matt Groening: Extra large panties are funny.
I can't believe I just typed that, but anyway, that also may prove to some of you that Groening makes some funny comments. On another note, Susie Dietter and Ken Keeler are two of my other favorite commentators that aren't regulars.

He also does the Brain. I love that little line he does on the "The Why Of Fry" commentary: Lamarche: "I am in this episode, because I play the Brain." Cohen: "Ofcourse, you're the Brain." West: "Do that voice.. do that creepy voice." Lamarche: "You mean the Brain?" West: "Yeah, the creepy voice." Lamarche: "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? .. Oh, wrong Brain." The panties line is a classic. Speaking of Keeler's theory that the word underpants is 20% funnier than the word underwear (he's right, you know), made methink of this segment from "Futurestock": Fry: "Miss Johnson, could you bring in some more chair fuel?" Dimaggio: "Hey, is ... is gas funnider than fuel? "Bring in more chair gas"." Cohen: "Yep, we blew it." Dimaggio: "I just thought of that. I would have pitched it. I would have pitched it." Cohen: "That's the writers fault." MacNeille: "Gas--" Cohen: "Aaron, defend yourself." Westbrook: "There's no defense for a failure---" (Note, Jeff Westbrook sits in for Aaron Ehasz in this commentary)MacNeille: ""Gas" is always funny." Dimaggio: ""Gas is--- "Chair gas"! ... "Fuel" is funny but "gas"! West: "Allright Rain Man, I get it, I get it."

I loved hearing Tress Macneille in TDTESS saying her lines over the characters. Also, the episode with the "guess the Zoidberg" cracked me up.

Having gotten the S3 DVDs, I can say that Maurice LaMarche is great, as is his Shatner impression ("I don't say sabot awge. You say "sabot awge"; I say sabot ahge. ), as is Tress MacNeille, but I'm going to have to go against my previous comments in this thread and say that Ken Keeler is my favorite. There's a certain quality to his voice that just sounds so... happy.

^ Yup. Commentaries are definitely better when there are 2+ actors present.

A vote for Ken Keeler.He should be in the poll.
I really like the fact that he's trying to make logical sense of the insanity of the future.
IE: whether the Globetrotters are another race or if they colonized a planet. Really funny stuff.

Originally posted by dvdashot: I really enjoy Ken Keeler's commentary, but Billy West is still my pick.
I don't know why the "best commentary" thread had to be closed. This is "best commentators". In essence, very different. Originally posted by Teral: Also, post your favorite lines from them, or just stuff that made you laugh.
It's just that not all people post humorous outtakes. The poll was actually a last minute addition.
