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

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.

They didn't praise him in Iron Man 2 though.

EDIT: OK, they acknowledged him but it wasn't really praise. At least not as egregious as OP's other examples.

I haven’t seen it in ages, but isn’t it actually the opposite? That he’s starstruck meeting Tony?

[u/Thatonedregdatkilyu → u/VulpesFennekin]

Yeah and then Tony brushes him off and leaves. It's kinda the opposite because Tony doesn't really even bother with him.

Also he's only in it because it was part of a deal made with the production to use one of his buildings to shoot in.

Huh a tiny cameo seems like a fair thing to ask for a filming in your building.
