| Greek Chorus | comment |
A minor character or group of minor characters who offer commentary and/or opinions on the actions of the main characters, usually by Breaking the Fourth Wall and addressing the audience directly. Often, they say what the audience thinks (or should think). While a lead character can do this himself, it doesn't make him a Greek Chorus; a proper Greek Chorus differs by being removed from the action and thus able to view it with something approaching objectivity. The role is frequently played by Those Two Guys. It's one use for the First-Person Peripheral Narrator. Strictly speaking, an omniscient narrator usually wouldn't qualify as a Greek Chorus. However, the lemony type who repeatedly breaks the Fourth Wall and makes asides to the audience to the point that they're a "character" unto themselves might reach the point where they overlap with it. If the narration is revealed to be by an actual main member, retroactively telling the story to someone else, it may count, but the important qualifier is that their opinions are objective and express what the audience would think (if they are retroactively self-deprecating of even their own actions, etc.). Named for the choruses of ancient Greek theatre, who did exactly this. Aristotle discussed them in Poetics and warned that they should be used as little as possible, because (in modern paraphrase), what they do is, by definition, commentary, not story — and so the story-teller should avoid being sidetracked by using more than it needed to help the story. If you were looking for actual choruses in the Greek language, that might fall under Gratuitous Greek. The Snark Knight, if not the main character, often fits this role. See also Fourth-Wall Observer. Compare this to MST, when the comments come from outside the story. |

Mischief In Musutafu and Other Such Tales: The vestiges of the previous horders of One For All become this after All Might gives One For All to Kirishima. They are more often than not Entertainingly Wrong about their commentary, because they are locked out of several loops and missing several pieces of vital information about Izuku and his family.

Ultimate: While no new stages with similar functions were added, all previous functions return. Palutena's Guidance adds new conversations for the base roster's newcomers, as well as the DLC roster from the previous game and veterans absent from the previous game. Some conversations from the previous game are also edited, while others have been completely revamped (DLC characters added to Ultimate itself, save for Piranha Plant, only get the same generic "Who is this?" response present in the previous game). This isn't the case of Snake's conversations, due to the passing of Roy Campbell's Japanese voice actor, meaning that attempting to perform a call for information about a character who wasn't in Brawl won't work. | |

The Order of the Stick: The Demon Cockroaches follow Xykon and Redcloak around providing comic relief. They actually do get directly involved with the main action in later strips, where one of them tries to talk the Monster in the Dark out of a Heel–Face Turn, warn the others about O-Chul's escape, and then gets skewered by the paladin's improvised spear. Even before that Miko used one to light a fire (they can do that) to make an escape. Belkar also lit a fire with one, to cook stew. | |

Roll and Protoman in their coffee breaks for Bob and George. Once Roll complained about being a plot device after realizing they had just explained the significance of the last comics. Then again, the series as a whole has No Fourth Wall, characters who Rage Against the Author, the Author himself as a main character, and pretty much everyone gets in on the act of commenting about plot lines, Plot Holes, (there are none) the yearly attack by some random villain, the various holiday and anniversary party strips... Can your entire cast qualify for a Greek Chorus? | |

The Delta Nu girls from Elle's old sorority in Legally Blonde serve as this as she journeys to Harvard, acting as a Guardian Angel to her (but somehow are still able to appear to Paulette during Bend and Snap, despite them just being in her mind). The real Delta Nu girls end up appearing to support Elle during her big trial, with Elle originally confusing them for her imaginary Greek Chorus. | |

In the Soviet adaptation of Treasure Island, Captain Flint and his some of his crewmates occassionally break into song numbers that are mostly supposed to be moral lessons for the viewers, admonishing the pirates in the story for their greed and unhealthy lifestyles while directly asking the viewers to live healthier, though these lessons are hilariously Anvilicious. Unlike the rest of the two-parter, these scenes are in live-action, and they served to give the animators more time and money to work on the animated parts. | |

On Shadow Moses Island, Snake can contact Mei Ling, Otacon, or Colonel Roy Campbell (or Slippy Toad) via codec for information on each specific fighter. Though this is retained in Ultimate, only the fighters who appeared in Brawl have calls due to the death of Roy Campbell's Japanese voice actor in 2012; fighters added in for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U or later, as well as fighters who were present in Melee but absent from Brawlnote Mewtwo, Pichu, Roy, Dr. Mario, and Young Link, will get no response. |

In Revolutionary Girl Utena, the Kashira Shadow Players (or Shadow Play Girls) act as this. Their shadow plays usually parallel the events of the episode, with varying degrees of subtlety. Once, though, they actually invite some characters (Utena, Anthy, and Akio) to see one of their plays, a subtle-as-a-kick-to-the-head story about Anthy and Akio's past. Additionally, when the shadow play (each of which ends with a question) is performed near Utena, Utena answers the question that is posed at the end. | |

In Bored of the Rings, Lavalier (parodying a similar scene with Galadriel in Lorien) recites an ancient Elvish lament, which is followed in the text by a translation. The lament, which starts out in gibberish Elvish modeled closely on Tolkien's original ("Dago, Dago, Lassi Lima rintintin / Yanqui unicycle ramar rotoroot...") ends with the repeated line "Honi soit la vache qui rit, / Honi soit la vache qui rit", which the subsequent text translates as "We are the chorus, and we agree. We agree, we agree, we agree." | |

Crystal, Chiffon and Ronnette in Little Shop of Horrors are an interesting example, going back and forth between standing outside the action and commenting on it to the audience, and interacting with the other cast members using no special out-of-character knowledge.note Originally done out of necessity, as the original production was done off-Broadway with a small cast. In some productions (and the film version), you can keep track by the costumes; when they're characters the girls wear worn-down clothing appropriate to residents of Skid Row, and when they're a Greek Chorus they've changed into sparkly dresses. | |

The Ring of the Nibelung: the leitmotives work as the equivalent of the Greek chorus. Advances in composition and music during the Romanticism era lead Richard Wagner to develop this musical technique. Wagner was a Fan Boy of old Greek dramas, especially those of Aeschylus. Thus, he devised a way to make his operas a seamless and endless flow of music, where commentary about the events happening on stage (much like in the Greek chorus of old) was done by recurring musical phrases: the leitmotives. In a more literal way, the Norns at the prologue of the final opera (Götterdämmerung) work as a traditional Greek chorus: they mention events that so far have happened in the Ring cycle, and they don't interact with any other character in the operas. |

Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond in Celebrity Deathmatch are rare main character examples, as their purpose is to provide humorous commentary on the death matches which are the real focus of the series.

In Disco Elysium this role is filled by the detectives skills represented by voices in his head. In particular the voices of Ancient Reptilian Brain, Limbic System, and Spinal Cord, who aren't associated with skills provide commentary on the detective's actions, especially when he's dreaming. | |

In Hamilton, weirdly enough it's a villain (albeit one who never directly interacts with the main characters) who plays this role: after "You'll Be Back", where King George sings about the revolutionary war from his perspective, his next two songs pretty much stick to commenting on the state of America depicted in the musical at the time, from his own quite unique perspective: | |

Dimensional Links: The Three Golden Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, often comment on the adventures of the group of Links and their progress in defeating Demise and his reincarnations. Commentary is all they can do (aside from giving the heroes gut feelings they should be heading on one direction or the other), because there are non-interference divine laws, and if they do act Demise will be able to track them. | |

for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: In the Wii U version, Snake's codec calls are replaced with Palutena's Guidance where, on the Palutena's Temple stage, Pit can contact characters from Kid Icarus: Uprising (and some other games) to converse about other fighters. Given the nature of the Kid Icarus setting, this would make it an almost literal Greek Chorus. Fighters added via Downloadable Content, however, do not have new calls recorded, Palutena shocked that she doesn't have any data on them and Viridi concluding that they're intruders from another dimension. | |

Illium by Dan Simmons plays with this in its intro. The story begins with the narrator laying out the basics of the story in dramatic fashion, much in the same style as an actual Greek Chorus ("Sing, O Muse..."). Then it's revealed that the narrator is, in fact, the main character speaking in the first person and that he has, in fact, been resurrected from the dead specifically to tell you the story. He actually lampshades the trope: | |

There's also periodic appearances by the dev team, who introduce several patches just to nerf her personally for game balance until she turns herself into a kaiju in the last episode and they give up entirely because her sheer game-breaking nonsense is becoming a selling point for the game. | |

Doctor Who In the First Doctor story "The Gunfighters" we have Lynda Byron performing "The Ballad/Of the Last Chance Saloon". Somewhere along the way, she segues from Greek Chorus to All-Knowing Singing Narrator, as the song starts referring to things that haven't happened yet. In the later serial "Vengeance on Varos", this role falls to married couple Arak and Etta, who are watching the events of the episode on television. |

The slugs in Flushed Away dabble with this. Most of the songs they perform are reminiscent of what's going on in the story at that moment, to the point that it starts to feel like narration. For example, they sing a parody of "Bella Notte" in a scene where Roddy and Rita are falling in love. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Melee: On the Corneria stage, Fox and Falco can give the rest of the Star Fox team a call to give their piece. This functionality is retained when the stage returns in Brawl, for Nintendo 3DS, and Ultimate. Slippy Toad will also chime in during one of the event matches, where he reveals that he invented the Cloaking Device item. Brawl: Along with the aforementioned Corneria calls, the Lylat Cruise stage has a similar sequence that can be performed by Fox, Falco, and Wolf. This is retained in for Wii U and Ultimate. On Shadow Moses Island, Snake can contact Mei Ling, Otacon, or Colonel Roy Campbell (or Slippy Toad) via codec for information on each specific fighter. Though this is retained in Ultimate, only the fighters who appeared in Brawl have calls due to the death of Roy Campbell's Japanese voice actor in 2012; fighters added in for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U or later, as well as fighters who were present in Melee but absent from Brawlnote Mewtwo, Pichu, Roy, Dr. Mario, and Young Link, will get no response. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: In the Wii U version, Snake's codec calls are replaced with Palutena's Guidance where, on the Palutena's Temple stage, Pit can contact characters from Kid Icarus: Uprising (and some other games) to converse about other fighters. Given the nature of the Kid Icarus setting, this would make it an almost literal Greek Chorus. Fighters added via Downloadable Content, however, do not have new calls recorded, Palutena shocked that she doesn't have any data on them and Viridi concluding that they're intruders from another dimension. Ultimate: While no new stages with similar functions were added, all previous functions return. Palutena's Guidance adds new conversations for the base roster's newcomers, as well as the DLC roster from the previous game and veterans absent from the previous game. Some conversations from the previous game are also edited, while others have been completely revamped (DLC characters added to Ultimate itself, save for Piranha Plant, only get the same generic "Who is this?" response present in the previous game). This isn't the case of Snake's conversations, due to the passing of Roy Campbell's Japanese voice actor, meaning that attempting to perform a call for information about a character who wasn't in Brawl won't work. |
