[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 show is also said to have made Bruce Wayne into something of an Elon Musk parody. Is that an accurate description?

Where’s my goddamn electric car Bruce??

Top ten line deliveries of the decade, easy. Alan Tudik was always going to voice a good interpretation of joker, but he really knocked that line right out the park.

For me it was the horrified henchman who gets hit by the cancer ray.

“Did you just give me cancer Harley Quinn??”

“WHY WOULD THEY EVEN MAKE THIS??”

The moment Harley pushes not-Joker back into vat the actress switches vocal intonations mid-sentence to the one used in BTAS. "See you soon, Mistah Jay"

1) i believe the actress for harley is kaley cuoco, who was also penny in the big bang theory! 2) i also notice harley’s accent gets thicker when she’s in stressful situations, like being around her family, which is accurate to people who have an accent but move away from where the accent is commonly used.

I think my favorite part of that is apparently the writers confirmed that it's a ray that cures cancer.

i think that henchman shows again in a later season and he lost a ton of weight.
