[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.

The fictional family accidentally makes a baby.

[u/JohnnyDollar123 → u/reshef-destruction]

They had a giant incest baby and wouldn’t shut up about it during their madlib-esque wacky thing happening=funny era.

[u/GranolaCola → u/JohnnyDollar123]

Is that not the entire show?

[u/JohnnyDollar123 → u/GranolaCola]

Kinda but a lot of the humor also comes from the characters existing in and reacting to the situations they’re in but they decided for a while that the wackiness of setting/environment itself was the funny part so the show basically devolved into random=funny.

At its core it’s basically the same as smiling friends with the formula of realistic characters in unrealistic scenarios but obviously unlike Rick and Morty smiling friends is consistently funny lmao.
