well that was unnecessary welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 most
Awkward TV cameos ever looking for more
WatchMojo videos with a British twist
well pack your bags and take a trip to
WatchMojo UK for even more bloody
brilliant content for this list we’ll be
looking at unnecessary and awkward
cameos and minor roles from celebrities
in a television show whether they’re
playing themselves or a fictional
character we won’t be considering the
celebrities acting talent unless of
course it’s bad enough to drag down
whole scenes but we’ll be focusing on
how awkward needless fan pandering or
immersion breaking the Cameo or minor
role was number 10 jean-claude van damme
friends jean-claude van Damme I don’t
know he was in this movie is so what we
know we just said that we wouldn’t be
taking acting ability into account but
holy cow is jean-claude van Damme really
not in his element here granted he was
never really known for his acting
prowess but rather for his fighting
skills she thinks you’re cute you don’t
think I’m cute jean-claude van Damme
appeared in the friend season 2 episode
the one after the Superbowl and that
title is rather indicative of the
episodes overall quality because Rachel
told me we were dying to have a
threesome with me and drew Barrymore by
the way who has some ground rules it’s
clear that they wanted to capture as
many demographics as possible which
included the masculine fans of football
and of Van Damme who wouldn’t normally
tune into friends his awkward and
chemistry free inclusion felt like a
relatively obvious ratings ploy can’t
you see what’s going on here this friend
is dying
number 9 Pete Wentz One Tree Hill yeah
heard that band sucks the bass players
pretty cool
some musicians make a flawless
transition from music to screen think
Will Smith or David Bowie others like
Pete Wentz should probably stay in the
recording booth whence the bassist and
lyricist of rock band Fall Out Boy
appeared with the entire band in the One
Tree Hill episode an attempt to tip the
scales playing their song dance dance
[Music]
fair enough a scripted performance by a
popular band is always a welcome
addition to any teen centric series
however things get a little dicey when
when starts dating Peyton later in the
season so I thought you were blowing me
off I said I’d be here he’s not the
greatest actor and his forced inclusion
feels more like fan baiting than a
worthwhile story addition I mean even
though we just met each other I feel
like I know you pretty well number eight
Chris Brown the OC seeing the world
through the eyes of an animal forces us
to see the world and ourselves in a new
life thank you Chris Brown appeared for
a three-episode arc in the fourth season
of The OC which aired in 2007 yes this
was before the Rihanna incident when
Chris Brown was a significantly less
loaded name but this OC cameo wasn’t
very good nonetheless Brown plays will
an intelligent student who takes the
rebellious Caitlyn under his wing as her
tutor and the two soon grow in
attachment kind of weird since we barely
studied last night it’s typical high
school drama TV but it’s brought down by
Browns rather inadequate acting he
mumbles through his lines delivers them
as if he’s reading off a cue card and
conveys the same expression no matter
what the content of the scene I thought
she liked it you know who else is a dork
it’s not Lucy check but I mean she’s got
a pretty hot pot for a dark number 7 ed
sheeran Game of Thrones for hands of
cold Game of Thrones has been a lot of
things over the years
gruesome bleak provocative and
absolutely addictive but it wasn’t
really the sort of show to include
celebrity cameos it’s a pretty song
I’ve never had before it’s a new one and
then suddenly in season 7 they inserted
one of the most popular pop artists of
the decade with no narrative
justification of course if you don’t
know who Sheeran is his cameo may have
slipped by you as he wasn’t singing
shape of you or doing anything to draw
attention to himself but millions did
recognize him and many of them saw this
as a pointless immersion breaking cameo
in an otherwise respectable drama number
6 Larry David Hannah Montana does
anybody work here if there’s a group of
people who would appreciate a Larry
David cameo it’s the Hannah Montana
demographic right Larry David creator of
two of the most acclaimed comedies in
television history Seinfeld and Curb
Your Enthusiasm
seemingly randomly appeared in the
episode my best friend’s boyfriend
playing the typical Larry David
character you know what
I completely forgot my little girl’s
birthday no it isn’t he certainly wasn’t
bad by any means in fact he was quite
funny it’s just incredibly jarring
seeing a comedy legend appear in a
children’s show and his brand of comedy
doesn’t really mesh with hannah
montana’s it’s all right there mine was
two months
you wanna eat David’s appearance allowed
him to get his real daughters who are
big fans on the show but that doesn’t
excuse the awkward pairing I need a kid
number five
Kevin Federline CSI crime scene
investigation man your week wait wait
wait
remember when Kevin Federline was a
thing good times Federline appeared in
the season seven episode of CSI entitled
fanny smacking and it was every bit as
embarrassing as you can imagine you’re a
joke
he played Kol Trent the ringleader of a
gang and in one scene was punched in the
stomach
after taunting Nick this moment almost
seems to be some form of wish
fulfillment as Federline’s reputation
was still in the dumps around the time
of the episodes initial airing mostly
for leaving the pregnant Shar Jackson
for Britney Spears some time before the
question this cameo raises is why cast
Federline when a more experienced actor
could do better anybody get that on
video and I’ll take a picture myself
number 4 Bristol Palin The Secret Life
of the American teenager I left you note
on the door last night when I see it
still there was it really necessary to
cast Bristol Palin daughter of the often
mocked politician Sarah Palin will
answer that for you know with this
performance Bristol proved that she has
no business or future in scripted
television delivering arguably one of
the most uncomfortable performances in
popular television history for all teen
moms and musicians her line delivery is
utterly robotic and her facial
expression never changes it’s like
watching a cyborg or video game dialogue
sequence in real life it’s so forced
that you assumed the character is
supposed to be acting off as if she’s
setting up Amy to be murdered just
outside the room you’re the world’s
greatest French horn player and I’m
yo-yo ma number 3 Hulk Hogan Randy
Savage and Ric Flair Baywatch what he
doesn’t understand who’s gonna be
running wild to the 80s and 90s boasted
some of the most iconic wrestlers in the
history of the industry such as Hulk
Hogan Randy Savage and Ric Flair you
know what else was popular in the 90s
Baywatch and you better believe that the
two were brought together the result one
of the most silly episodes of television
you’ll ever watch the three wrestlers
appeared in the episode bash at the
beach fittingly named after and
shamelessly promoting the WCW
pay-per-view event the story revolved
around Ric Flair
challenging both Hulk Hogan and Randy
Savage to a wrestling match to decide
the fate of a youth center
seriously we wish we were making this up
number two Justin Bieber CSI crime scene
investigation why is your gun your vest
your badge
who on earth green-lighted Justin Bieber
to be in an episode of CSI oh excuse us
two episodes of CSI because why not
Bieber appeared in the eleventh season
as Jason McCann a serial killer and
bomber yes they cast Justin Bieber as a
serial killer and that was the moment
when many fans would say CSI lost all
credibility
I can’t they will kill me Bieber’s
acting is wooden at best and his boyish
appearance and squeaky voice is about as
threatening as your kindly grandmother
who bakes cookies wired he’s got a boss
and then they shoot him which like
Federline was almost certainly scripted
to go viral
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions no we have to go
out and my brother would kill me
[Music]
you come and go
number one Kim and Khloe Kardashian 902
I know nothing says your back like
backless plus it’ll make your ass look
like a ripe little melon all right these
two aren’t number one for the sole
reason of their being Kardashians even
Snoop Dogg was really awkward on nine oh
two one oh and we love us some Snoop
Dogg you know what don’t even trip I got
my new single in the car you want to add
to the Kardashian’s credit they aren’t
the worst actresses ever it’s just a
completely pointless and grating scene
that serves no purpose other than to
scream look we have the Kardashians on
our show and to promote their sisters
expensive and luxurious clothing line
Naomi and we’re running a business here
combining a cringe-worthy storyline some
could be better performances and
shameless celebrity advertising this
cameo just had to top our list Kim
