10 Greatest Comedic Cameos That Dominated Their Respective Films

5. Bruce Campbell €“ Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Spider-Man 3 was mostly a mess of a film. What didn't work was predominantly villain-overload; with Harry's Green Goblin 2.0, Sandman and Venom. Not to mention emo-Peter was unintentionally hilarious. His ridiculous Saturday Night Fever-inspired dancing didn't help much either. What did work however was Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy and the ever-reliable Bruce Campbell in his best cameo of Sam Raimi's wall-crawler trilogy, as in Spider-Man he was an unimpressed ring announcer who first called on Peter Parker as his famous alter ego. In Spider-Man 2, he was the "obnoxious usher" (as Peter puts it) who refused to let him into the theatre part-way through to see Mary Jane performing in The Importance of Being Earnest. In Spider-Man 3, he donned a fantastic pencil-'stache and French accent as the maître-d trying to help Peter propose to MJ. It's his longest cameo out of the three films, and by far the funniest. Listening to Ash from Evil Dead continually mispronounce Peter's last name Parker as "Pecker" never gets old. Neither does the moment when he misinterprets Peter's hand signals in a massive comedy of errors and keeps trying to bring the glasses of champagne with the ring at the bottom of one of them. It's one of the most awkward and uncomfortable failed attempts at proposing ever put to screen, and made all the better by one Mr. Bruce Campbell.
