Top 10 Most Hilarious Musician Cameos in Movies


I pretty much has been leaving a
breadcrumb trail of gayness I see that
now we love their music we love their
lyrics and sometimes we get to love them
on the big screen 200 welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 funniest
musician cameos in movies you know we
sell this I don’t know you knew that
it’s too bad man I just stopped smoking
yesterday for this list we’re looking at
well-known musicians who had brief
appearances in a film whether they’re
playing themselves or a fictional
character also some of these cameos come
at the end of the movie so a spoiler
alert is in order on eternity you must
go to find a
number 10 Michael Jackson men in black 2
not a go said the door locks are gone
and the treaty is signed the late great
King of Pop had starred in his fair
share of movies but most of these were
about himself and his music what about
that position you promised me in men and
black so when MJ shows up as a
representative of a men and black sister
organization to ask chief Z if he can be
agent M we can’t help but be amused at
his random appearance in the franchise
yeah you’re breaking up Santeria hello
I’ll call you back I can be agent in sad
you if you look closely during Zed’s
funeral and men in black 3 which was
released three years after the King of
Pop’s death a tombstone with the letter
M can be seen so perhaps the pop icon
got his wish after all said thank you I
can be agent him number nine
Jack white walk hard the Dewey Cox story
dang it was pressing you didn’t have to
rile him up like that
what no no excuse me what since the film
follows character Dewey Cox who is
mostly based on Johnny Cash and centers
on the music industry it isn’t
surprising that a few real artists would
pop up well sometimes you have to go all
out when you’re the king and you can’t
help it you know jewel appears as
herself as do Eddie Vedder and the
temptations the temptations but the
crowning jewel of all the cameos is Jack
White former lead singer of the White
Stripes and a successful solo artist who
plays the king of rock and roll Elvis
Presley why not god looked down all the
millions nose nose of people man and he
decided which one was the best it was me
even though we’re pretty sure the real
Elvis didn’t think of himself as a gift
from God or a brag about his karate
skills to other musicians Jack White
kind of makes us wish he had look out
man look at that to come last you see
that it’s called karate Milan only two
kinds of people know the Chinese and the
king one of them is me number 8 Alanis
Morisette Dogma Alanis Morissette is God
no really the fourth film in the view
askew naver’s featuring the world’s
favorite stoners Jay and Silent Bob has
a Lana’s portraying God at the end of
the movie after she’s released from her
imprisonment in the body of a mortal
homeless man we’re washi imprisoned in a
body though her role is almost entirely
silent when she does choose to speak
it’s to let out a piercing shriek that
causes a destructive fallen angels head
to explode
this is a unique portrayal of God which
is only fitting for such a unique film
about religion never end number seven
Dave Grohl Tenacious D in the Pick of
Destiny
tenacious deed the real life comedy rock
duo after which the movie was named was
formed by actors musicians and funny men
Jack Black and Kyle Gass the movie
follows the two as they search for a
magical guitar pick but it falls into
the hands of its original owner the
devil himself played by you guessed it
the uber talented Dave Grohl
when not playing Satan roll act as the
frontman of the Foo Fighters and
occasionally backs up a multitude of
other artists on the drums
even under the head-to-toe red body
paint there’s no mistaking groll’s
killer vocals
number six Snoop Dogg half-baked
some dogs good off let me get in here
man Shawn cord is our Calvin Broadus jr.
also known as nuke dog also known as new
client has made it no secret that he’s a
fan of marijuana
we almost expect the rapper to show up
in every stoner flick it only to bum a
smoke
let me assume I miss my hidden scavenger
which is of course what he does in this
comedy film that stars Dave Chappelle
and Jim Breuer here he appears as the
scavenger smoker i neva knit the mother
fiat back up Snoop is known for his
popular music and his numerous run-ins
with the law but what his media
appearances keep reminding us of is that
he really is quite funny I’m gonna get
up on it man y’all stay yeah you know I
see you man number five Alice Cooper
Wayne’s World
have you ever built someone up in your
head and then been disappointed when you
finally met them that might be how Wayne
and Garth feel when they go backstage
after an Alice Cooper concert to meet
the man himself Alice is this cool yeah
come on in the two oddball public-access
hosts expect the rock star to be hosting
a massive rager in his dressing room but
instead he just gives them a history
lesson on the City of Milwaukee isn’t
Milwaukee an Indian name yes Pete it is
actually it’s pronounced Milwaukee which
is Algonquin for the good land the do
all bow to him confused number 4 John
Mayer get hard well actually there’s one
more part to your present it’s mr. John
with the voice of an angel
you don’t expect sweet old John Mayer to
whisper the things he does to Will
Ferrell’s character genes when he
performs at his party never seen a
hundred women get wet at the same time
watch this that’s what makes the scene
comedy gold in the minute he’s known him
Mayer reveals that he loves money and
then he’ll pretty much sleep with anyone
she’s nothing I love more nigga money
not even six four dudes after Ferrell’s
character is arrested John Mayer appears
on the Jimmy Fallon show to express how
disgusted he is by him and even shares a
song he wrote about James being raped in
prison hands against the prison wall
choking on a mouthful of all it’s
available for sale on iTunes of course I
hate to admit it but it’s a good song
number three Billy Idol the wedding
singer no way in one of Adam Sandler’s
most iconic roles he plays a wedding
singer who falls in love with a woman
named Julia who was engaged to another
man at the film’s conclusion Sandler
ends up flying first-class and telling
his love story to his fellow passengers
including punk rocker Billy Idol who is
very invested in the romance Glenn
doesn’t deserve her all he cares about
possessions fancy cars CD players
when Sandler finds out that Julia and
her fiance Glenn are on the same flight
Billy is quick to help him serenade her
and send Glenn packing one of our
first-class passengers would like to
sing you a song inspired by one of our
coach passengers if this movie teaches
us anything it’s the Billy Idol makes a
great wingman
how you doing sir chicken or fish you
better get out of my way Billy you’re
gonna get hurt don’t you talk to Billy
Idol that way number two
Eminem funny people I don’t think you
should have took that medicine why not
whenever Eminem shows up on the big
screen he never disappoints honestly man
what are you gonna do now make another
bullshit movie another chick who doesn’t
like you funny people sees Eminem appear
as himself to give Adam Sandler some not
so helpful advice and to tell off Ray
Romano hey ray hello Marshall King
problem here buddy
would you like to fuck me is that what
this is the rapper would make an equally
uproarious cameo a few years later in
the interview where he drops a bombshell
about his sexual orientation when I say
things about gay people that people
think that my lyrics are homophobic you
know it’s because I’m gay since a lot of
Eminem’s music is serious and about
darker times in the rapper’s life it’s
nice to see him take a step back and
laugh at himself can’t go to Chuck E
Cheese I can’t go to Target I can’t go
to Best Buy I can’t go to Walmart Kmart
you name it I can’t go there before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
Jesus Christ
you
number one David Bowie Zoolander alright
who’s gonna call this sucker in the
film’s walk-off scene Derek Zoolander
and Hansel compete against each other in
a battle of wits just kidding they walk
down a runway and pose but the real
highlight of the scene is David Bowie’s
unexpected cameo as the judge of said
walk-off I believe I might be of service
the Space Oddity singer manages to keep
a straight face while pretending to take
notes on the palm of his hand and smiles
and gasps in all the right places we
believe that he’s actually invested in
the outcome of this absurd competition
first model walks second model
duplicates then elaborates okay boys

well the Biebs cameo in Zoolander 2 was
great Oh foot
