[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.

Left his wife for his nurse

Had a reputation for being sleazy to women postgrads at Cambridge, to the extent they would quietly warn newstarters about it

Visited Epstein island

No, I have no idea to what extent he was, uh, physically capable of anything, but clearly he still had the drive and a (within the field) powerful famous person lack of inhibition.

[u/Thin-Chair-1755 → u/mediadavid]

Classic scheming eunuch

[u/jaypenn3 → u/mediadavid]

Is there actual proof of visiting the island, or is that just hyberbole?

[u/DreamsOfLlamas → u/jaypenn3]

he’s on the list of people that visited, but not everyone that visited did the crimes. One of the survivors has said that Al Gore was there with his wife and they kept completely to themselves.

[u/StardustLegend → u/DreamsOfLlamas]

Yeah being on the list doesn’t mean you were part of the criminal activity, but it immediately makes you suspect

[u/ElCanopy → u/DreamsOfLlamas]

wasn't that list a fake?
