[From the IMDB Trivia](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292644/trivia/): **The home video release comes with several commentary tracks from various cast and crew members. Also included is a track from comedian Scott ‘Carrot Top’ Thompson, who had no involvement with the film and was obviously watching it for the first time. According to the director, its inclusion (and existence) was a meta-joke: “Like all performance art pieces, sometimes people just don’t get it,” Roger Avary explained in an interview. “I intended the inclusion of a Carrot Top commentary to itself be a comment on the mindset of the average American multiplex viewer who had totally misunderstood what they were seeing. I thought it was a brave stroke.” However, it was later revealed that there was a much more mundane reason for Carrot Top’s involvement: author Bret Easton Ellis was originally supposed to do the commentary, but due to his heavy drug use at the time, he had overslept. When he finally arrived at the recording session, he was barely able to make coherent sentences, so his commentary track was not used and the Carrot Top idea was conceived.**

There’s probably a real good reason that this wasn’t available… And I’m thinking that reason is because Carrot Top suuuuuuuucks.Â

I highly recommend checking out the Talladega Nights commentary that the cast and director’s son recorded in 2031
honestly probably better than most commentaries , also you want a funny “meta” commentary, Tom Green on “Freddy Got Fingered” he basically just spends the whole time telling you whats on screen “Here is Rip Torn” honestly I can’t tell if he was just doing it as a bit, or if literally he had nothing to talk about.
