    Examples of Cast Full of Writers include:

    Film


    Live Action TV


    Sketch Comedy


    Video Review Shows


    Western Animation

    • The Venture Bros has a lot of this - writer/creators Jackson Public and Doc Hammer spend a lot of time talking to themselves, between them they voice something like twelve characters.
    • Same thing with South Park, but more so. Trey Parker and Matt Stone voice pretty much anyone who's not a woman (though Trey Parker voiced Ms. Choksondik until she died in season six and also voiced a one-time female character—the S'mores Schnapps lady—on the episode "The Red Badge of Gayness." Mary Kay Bergman was supposed to voice her, but was replaced following her suicide). Or Chef (who was voiced by Isaac Hayes until season nine).
