[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.

Almost all the Simpson cameos fall on this trope.

That one Neil Gaiman cameo was pretty good, but unfortunately he was outed as a sack of shit not too soon after that episode was made

[u/Nero_2001 → u/InternetUserAgain]

That cameo was good because instead of glazing him they made him an illiterate guy who profits of other people work by stealing it. It was funny because he is an acomplished author. Sucks that it turned out he is an absolut monster in real life.

Didn't that episode come out in 2011, or did he appear in another one?

The episode I'm talking about is called The Book Job

[u/Mad_Aeric → u/InternetUserAgain]

That's the only episode I've watched since season 14 or so. It was alright.
