One of the wackiest but most unique and eye-catching comedy films of the 2000’s got a sequel and boy, were we happy with it. This cult comedy movie combined some of the top tier comedic actors of their generation with an ingenious script that you can already tell left a lot of leeway to the stars. So, when the sequel came around the corner in 2013, everyone was excited for the same humour and brilliant characters to reappear with even bigger jokes and bigger collars.

Not only does this off beat and quirky workplace comedy showcase some hilarious slap stick and insults but also provides a refreshing commentary on women in the workplace that no one expected.

This sequel lived up to the hype and brought back all the original cast but also upped the game when it comes to squeezing in cameos. Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, David Koechner and Christina Applegate all came back for the second with the late great Fred Willard backing them up.

But then James Marsden, Dylan Baker, Meagan Good, Kristen Wiig, Chris Parnell and even an appearance from Harrison Ford all signed on. Then audiences were shocked by just how many cameos were included: Drake, Sacha Baron Cohen, Marion Cotillard, Will Smith, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Carrey, Tina Fey, Liam Neeson, Amy Poehler, John C. Reilly, Vince Vaughn and Kanye West.

The Reason Why You Forgot– Most of the cameos on this list are such blink and you miss it appearances from such huge stars that it’s as if the filmmakers are utilising that off-cuff brand of humour in the film. Each cameo is so mediocre for the star involved it just adds another layer of hilarity to this already hilarious sequel.
