Let \(G=\widetilde G(K)\), where \(\widetilde G\) is a simple and simply connected algebraic group that is defined and quasi-split over a field \(K\). Commutators in \(G\) with some regular elements are considered. In particular, it is proved (under some additional condition) that every unipotent regular element of \(G\) is conjugate to a commutator \([g,v]\), where \(g\) is any fixed semisimple regular element of \(G\), and that every non-central element of \(G\) is conjugate to a product \([g,\sigma][u_{\text{reg}},\tau]\), where \(g\) is a special element of the group \(G\) and \(u_{\text{reg}}\) is a regular unipotent element of \(G\).
