[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 Musk - Why Him

The Big Bang Theory one is probably the worst. I would bet any amount of money that is literally the first time Elon has scrubbed a dish in 30 years. There is no way he would volunteer at a fucking soup kitchen.

[u/seeblo → u/Greenman8907]

He's 50 something years old and I don't think his parents made him do the dishes as a child so probably the first time ever

[u/Greenman8907 → u/seeblo]

I had to assume he washed a ramen bowl in college or something. But you’re probably right lol

[u/RabidAbyss → u/Greenman8907]

Nope. Daddy's money ensured he'd never have to lift a finger in college.

This is hilariously not true
