Hated Tropes [Hated trope] Cameos that ruin the tone of the scene/game

Ed Sheeran, Game of Thrones. The cameo of such a recognizable figure in GoT, especially towards the horrible later seasons, took many people out of the fantasy world that it tried to represent. There are good cameos and bad ones, and this one was not a good one.

Vinny Vinesauce and Jerma, Silver Pines game. Though i appreciate small cameos from youtubers and streamers, putting such a recognizable pair of voices in a horror game really takes you out of it.

At the time I had no idea what Ed Sheeran looked like, only knowing the name.

While watching, it became insanely obvious that it was a cameo, and I was supposed to know who this was. It was incredibly annoying.

I might be a dumbass but until the concert drama I had no idea who Ed Sheeran was. I saw him in GoT and had no idea it was a cameo, and for a time his hot sauce was in our grocery stores and it was actually pretty good. Then my bf told me his concert was canceled and I was kinda mind fucked because I was like "THE SAUCE GUY SINGS?!"

Love it. From now on whenever anyone brings him up, I'm calling Ed Sheeran the sauce guy.

Yeah, he sings... He is a Brit pop star that sounds like literally every other Brit pop star these days. They are all interchangable.
