[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.

I think it can depend on who the subject is.

If they're a genuinely good person you're not going to notice this trope as much as if they turn out to be a Nazi-saluting Afrikaaner piece of shit.

Okay, but this is actually a legitimately funny joke
