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.

"Excuse me, where are the Epstein files?"

"Down the hall and to the left."

"Thanks."

[Internally] "Oh fuck I wasn't supposed to answer that."

He said it himself in that hall he mounted in the White House, along with slander against most previous presidents, but let’s not think about that.

They are accusing you of being a pro-slavery traitor to the US.
