History Main / TheCameo

** Also, fellow ''Rings'' alumnus CateBlanchett appears as SimonPegg's ex-girlfriend...who is only seen with a mask covering her face.

* In ''GoodEats'', Alton Brown has ensured that all of his crew make at least one-time appearances as characters on the show.

* ''WebVideo/AndreTheBlackNerd'' makes a guest appearance in ''VideoGame/AngryVideoGameNerdAdventures''.

* [[ElviraMistressOfTheDark Elvira]], Elvis, and WonderWoman can be seen on the backglass of ''Pinball/MonsterBash''.

** Snake makes a cameo in ''VideoGame/{{Boktai}}'', although he's dressed in a different outfit and calling himself "a man with no name" (since the game is [[DollarsTrilogy spaghetti Western-themed]]). When you save him, he'll start an Item shop and sell you Boxes.

* In an episode of ''TheBigBangTheory'', Raj is excited about appearing on People Magazine and brags about it to a random guy sited on his back to him at a bar. But the random guy turns out to be CharlieSheen. He says: "Call me when you get the cover."

** [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]] is seen walking into the Arendelle castle in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}} Bites! 2: Pants Macabre'' includes [[CatsAreMean The Evil]] from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' and Roger the were-coyote from ''CollegeRoomiesFromHell!!!''.

** In the first movie by Sam Raimi, several actors from the TV series he's produced get bit parts, including Lucy Lawless from ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' and Bruce Campbell from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series. Oh, and let's not forget the car that Uncle Ben was driving, also from ''Evil Dead''.
** Bruce Campbell returned in cameo roles for the next two films as well.

* In the first ''Film/SpiderMan'' movie by Sam Raimi, several actors from the TV series he's produced get bit parts, including Lucy Lawless from ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' and Bruce Campbell from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series. Oh, and let's not forget the car that Uncle Ben was driving, also from ''Evil Dead''.

** ''{{Blood}}'' hit back by including a partially dismembered Duke Nukem hanging from a chain. On finding him, Caleb quips "I've got time to play with ''you''"; pressing use on it makes it swing in place, to which Caleb says "Ooh, shake it baby."

* [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]] is seen walking into the Arendelle castle in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''.

* The first batch of ''VideoGame/{{McPixel}}'s'' DLC had stages for YouTube {{Lets Play}}ers who supported the game, such as JesseCox & LetsPlay/PewDiePie.

* Brad Garrett, better known as [[EverybodyLovesRaymond Robert Barone]] carried a short lived series called ''Till Death'', in which in one episode he's trying to apologize to his wife in an Italian restaurant, causing Ray Romano to turn around from his table and go "C'Mon lady, what more do you want!?". His wife asks "Who was that?" "[[LampshadeHanging Looks like someone I used to work with.]]"

* ''VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale''. A crossover fighting game, so it's a no-brainer. Each stage involves elements from some other game interfering with that one, you can get chibi versions of certain characters to cheer you on in fights, story modes involve characters from the same franchise as that character, etc. Also, some finishing moves include cameos from other characters of that franchise too. ([[VideoGame/SlyCooper Sly's]] Lvl. 1 finishing move has Murray come out and attack, [[VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper PaRappa's]] Lvl. 3 finishing move has him put on a concert with characters such as Lammy and Katy Kat watching, etc.)

* While the ''Anime/YuGiOh'' anime and [[Manga/YuGiOh manga]] aren't as bad, [[TabletopGame/YuGiOh the card game]] itself often features cameo appearances from various {{Konami}} game characters ([[GanbareGoemon Goegoe the Gallant Ninja, Lady Ninja Yae, Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke]]) and weapons ([[{{Gradius}} Gradius, Victory Viper XX03, anything with B.E.S. in its name]]) as cards in the game to fill out sets and make new decktypes. Granted, while Konami rarely makes them too useful, it does make them.

* ''VideoGame/WarioLand 4'' has a really, really obscure one. The professor from the bonus rooms is actually Dr. Arewo Stein from the Japanese game ''VideoGame/ForTheFrogTheBellTolls''. On that note, Mr Game and Watch (from both VideoGame/SuperSmashBros and the GameAndWatch handheld games) appears, although he turns out to be a magically disguised ghost princess/cat being.

* SonicTheHedgehog appears in the Sega game ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}!'', twice. The first is a bonus level where Bug was able to race him (Sonic's route was a lot longer and uneven, so it balanced out), and the second one was a secret area where Sonic would appear and leave a bunch of powerups on a platform.

* WarioLand 4 has a really, really obscure one. The professor character from the bonus rooms is actually Dr. Arewo Stein from ForTheFrogTheBellTolls. On that note, Mr Game and Watch (from both VideoGame/SuperSmashBros and the GameAndWatch handheld games) appears, although he turns out to be a magically disguised ghost princess/cat being.

* [[spoiler: [[{{Okami}} Amaterasu]]]] makes an appearance in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' in one of the episode recaps. Considering both games are published by Capcom, and are based on Asian Mythology, it makes a lot of sense.
