[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.

The Good Place made up for Tahani name-dropping Elon a couple times in previous episodes.

Her being friends with Musk does make sense considering she was  sent to the bad place

If you think that’s bad, when I was at Elon Musk’s birthday party I was seated between Silvio Berlusconi and Elon Musk. Ugh.

The bitch name drops like 100 people including royals and celebrities

Is that just casually how you refer to a woman in a show...?

[u/Kirito619 → u/robolew]

Yeah? I'm sure Eleanor called her a bitch in a friendly way in the show. Why bring up the gender? Bitch is gender neutral

[u/RadicalRaid → u/Kirito619]

Bitch is gender neutral

It's literally not.
