With regard to: Top Ten Memorable Non-Actor Movie Cameos: Tim Burton in Singles, of course.

Kristen Bell on Heroes, although it may seem like a geekerific moment it's more of a Jumping the Shark event.

You'll see

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 21, 2007 3:38 PM

How about Stan Lee in Mallrats...

and/or Stan Lee on every third movie ever made by a fanboy director?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 21, 2007 3:46 PM

Not reading the list before you comment?

That's a paddlin'.

Posted by: litelysalted at August 21, 2007 3:49 PM

As goofy as it sounds, one of my favorite cameos was always Xavier McDaniel in Singles.

Kristen Bell makes me feel funny down where I pee.

Posted by: TK at August 21, 2007 3:54 PM

Hahaha, GreatMango, he's only like the next Martin Scorseeeeeez.

BarbadoSlim, did you want a refill on your Coke? It looks about half empty.

You might not believe it, but the refill is free.

Top Ten Memorable Non-Actor Movie Cameos:

Col. Bruce Hampton, Ret. in "Sling Blade"

"Then like in poetry I go dot-dot-dot, you know, kinda off center, then I drop down and then I go: 'Leavin' his soul! And partin' the waters of the medulla oblongata of - -brrrrrr! - -mankind!' That was a damn good song, wasn't it Doyle?"

Brilliant. Frelling brilliant.

Though I do agree on the Elvis Costello/Mos Def bit from "Talledega Nights".

Posted by: Alabamapink at August 21, 2007 5:20 PM

Alright, how about Quentin Tarantino is Sleep With Me? Which I believe was celebrated on Pajiba.

OR we could go the cliche route and say Hitchcock or Marshall McLuhan and Truman Capote in Annie Hall.

Wait. I got it. Dan Aykroyd in "We Are The World."

Posted by: awesome_awesomeness at August 21, 2007 5:25 PM

Tom Petty in The Postman. I'm glad I was actually awake for that part.

Posted by: redkitten at August 21, 2007 5:41 PM

Joel McHale in Spider-man. "The Soup" needs to be a daily show, and at least a half hour longer.

Posted by: Ellipsis at August 21, 2007 5:44 PM

I tried to read the K-Fed article and my Internet crashed. It's good to know my computer and I have the same taste.

Posted by: Wendi at August 21, 2007 5:48 PM

I never saw The Postman but I second the vote is for anything featuring Tom Petty. Larry Sanders? King of the Hill?! The man is outstanding.

I also second the request for more "Soup."

Posted by: litelysalted at August 21, 2007 5:56 PM

How about a shout out to Larry King in about a million films in the past million years? He's tirelessly advanced the plot of numerous films by hosting a forum where main characters can deliver exposition in a safe environment.

Top Ten Memorable Non-Actor Movie Cameos:

Lance Armstrong in Dodgeball.
So. Very. Painful.

Posted by: Smello at August 21, 2007 6:07 PM

Second Xavier McDaniel, TK. That was inspired.

"Anything left to say, X?"

"Yes: Steve, don't come."

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at August 21, 2007 6:37 PM

Oh crap, yup that's a paddlin' and well deserved Pajivinians.

I just wanted to get a quick post before I went to Wal-Mart.

YES, WAL MART! I also have the right to enjoy low low prices dammit.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 21, 2007 6:39 PM

If they're allowing Jerry Springer as a "non-actor," then I say Merv Griffin in The Man With Two Brains has to be in the top 10.

Posted by: KRK at August 21, 2007 7:19 PM

I vote John Irving in The Cider House Rules and/or The World According to Garp

Lemme see if I get it right(yeah, I went and read the freakin' list, get off my back Salty). Now non actor cameo hmmmmm....ok!:

Hayden Christensen on Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

Definite non-actor/non-person and that shit felt like a very awkward and over long cameo. They say he got the walk-on 'cause Lucas' daughter found him .."cute".

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 21, 2007 9:19 PM

The wildest movie for non-actor cameos was Into the Night with Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer. It had a whole array of directors doing cameos including John Landis, Don Siegal, Roger Vadim, Paul Mazursky, Paul Bartel, Jim Henson, Daniel Petrie, Amy Heckerling, Jonathan Demme, David Cronenberg, and Lawrence Kasdan. It also had David Bowie doing a cameo. I might have missed some but it was fun just to play spot the director doing a cameo.

Posted by: OscarTamerz at August 21, 2007 9:32 PM

When Salty went through Pajiba orientation, was she not informed that any reference to Michael Ausiello must be preceded by the words "whore" or "egotistical douchebag"?

P.S. Brett Favre in There's Something about Mary.

Posted by: MX at August 21, 2007 9:51 PM

David Bowie in Zoolander.

Posted by: m at August 21, 2007 11:01 PM

So far all this "Heroes" young'un casting is boring the shit out of me. When will my Claude be back to slap ol' Pete around some more? 'Cause THAT'S good TV at my house. I want my Eccleston!

Posted by: Shaz at August 21, 2007 11:02 PM

I couldn't agree more, Shaz, I spent the entire second half of the first season saying "Yes, yes that's all fine but when is Claude coming back?"

And then explaining to people that talking to my TV is perfectly normal and that it can both hear and understand me dammit.

Posted by: Alex the Odd at August 22, 2007 4:05 AM

Ahh thank you Pajiba for including a clip from The Chasers War on Everything - that clip is from their "What Pay-TV taught me" section. These guys are hilarious and their take on "The Secret" is even better.

Posted by: Noo at August 22, 2007 5:28 AM

Somebody up there already posted mine.
Merv Griffin in "The Man With Two Brains". I love that movie.

And I must take issue with the "David Bowie" cameo comments. I maintain that David Bowie is a singer/actor. I think when you've played the Elephant Man on Broadway, you've earned the title "actor".

Also--HereHere to The Soup extending the funny. Let's start an internet campaign. You go first.

Posted by: wsapnin at August 22, 2007 7:46 AM

Stephen King in both Creepshow movies. I'm a geeky fan of his, but the boy cannot act.

Posted by: elsworthy at August 22, 2007 9:15 AM

Ray Charles in "Blues Brothers." Or Aretha Franklin. Or James Brown. Or Cab Calloway.

Posted by: wealhtheow at August 22, 2007 10:02 AM

In my mind, Tarantino and Larry King no longer qualify as "non-actors" because of the sheer amount of cameos they've done. Stan is getting close.
Now, putting my nerd hat on, Claude won't be back on Heroes b/c Sylar got him as depicted in the last episode when he disappeared while talking to boring-female-FBI-can't-remember-her-name.

Posted by: ShannonAnn at August 22, 2007 1:51 PM

I like Hunter Thompson's brief cameo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where he shows up in a club to scare his younger self (played by Johnny Depp) with a vision of his future. It's a blink and you miss it kind of thing, but a neat moment.

Posted by: RichD at August 22, 2007 2:20 PM

Alex the Odd--Of course talking to your TV is perfectly normal and of course it can both hear and understand you. The same is true of movie screens and computers. Just because they don't respond, doesn't mean that they aren't listening.

Posted by: tamatha at August 22, 2007 3:06 PM

I knew it!

Posted by: Alex the Odd at August 22, 2007 3:42 PM

re: NOT THE FATHER!

Question is, would it be more or less funny if The Holy Family were black? And, more importantly, would it be more or less funny if the couple's reactions were switched?
