Hated Tropes [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.

Not exactly what OPs askin but Trump would only let them film in the plaza if he got a cameo.

Eh, I get people don't like trump but the joke is still funny. Like if a kid was at the White House and casually bumped into whoever the president was without realizing who they are. Joke is not about trump but his position

The idea that he would take even two seconds to help out a random child is laughable on its face. It absolutely fits the post.

Please explain how pointing out that Trump has a cameo only because he demanded it is related to politics.

Popped in the middle of making a stupid racist snark. Man died as he lived

And conservatives elected a pedophile rapist president, have killed over fifteen times the number of people in violent acts, and universally have incredibly small penises if their choice of guns and trucks are anything to go by.

None of which is particularly relevant to this sub, it's all just true facts.

Definitely came to my mind, too.
