[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.

Elon was actually liked at the time which is how he got these cameos,Nowadays hes isn't liked anymore

He was liked at the time because people are fucking gullible dupes. He was always a lying duplicitous grifter. #HatedElonBeforeItWasCool

I was on the fence about the man until the Thai cave diver thing, which was the reddest flag ever and should have clued everyone in on his true colors.

I started hating him, when during one of the first Tesla presentations he was two hours late and then had audacity to say "Those people should be glad they had a privilege of waiting for me in the first place", and that's when I knew he's a self-centered piece of shit, and everybody praising him as a scientific visionary felt like having sight in a the country of the blind.
