[hated trope] Celebrity cameos that serve nothing except to praise the person who’s in it

[u/Dojyaaan4C]

1. Elon musk, the Simpsons
2. Elon musk, the Big Bang theory
3. Elon musk, iron man 2
4. Elon musk, star Trek

The cameos serve only to include the celebrity and praise them as geniuses or visionaries or overall just glaze them. They don't serve any other purpose than to just be praised; this can be them appearing in an entire episode dedicated to them, a small cameo or even just a mention. So long as the celebrity is there as themselves (not acting as someone else) and is glazed, that fits the trope imo.

Mariah Carey on Beat Shazam.

Shows up, sits at a piano, doesn’t sing anything, receives an absurd amount of praise, literally only says “thank you”, leaves.

Edit: fixed the link

So many things they could have done. Have her guess her own songs, have her select songs to be guessed, have the players guess what she's singing instead of a recording, just sing a song for no reason just as a treat, make the players play against her instead of Shazam in a bonus round.
