I think the most boring i ever listened to is The Farrelley Brothers for Me
Myself and Irene

the entire commentary is a role call for every single extra in the film,
"That's Bob smith in the back there, he was my dentist for 7 years" "That
man walking by is my dad" "That woman is friends with my wife" "That's my
neighbor from 1973" with interspersed "That wasn't in the script, Jim did
that on the spot and we liked it"

very unfunny, very dull
