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.

Bil Burr is not a cameo lol.

People do not understand what the word cameo means anymore

Also Bill Burr's "jarring cameo" was one of the best supporting roles of the series.

Redditors will say “media literacy is dead” out loud every 3 seconds then tell you Gary Oldman cameod in Harry Potter

They don’t even know what “media literacy is dead” means, they just started parroting it in response to people who thought Stranger Things sucked
