9. Alice Cooper - Wayne's World
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5FT3IGXtAk A brilliant and transfixing cameo that on first appearances doesn't seem weird at all; in fact, placing Alice Cooper in a comedy about rock music seems like the snuggest, most natural fit ever. It's when he opens his mouth, then, that this is completely up-ended, as devoted fans Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) expect him to regale them with stories of a particularly challenging overdose, or the night he had a foursome with some Playboy playmates. Instead, Alice defers to educating the pair on the history of the American Midwest, specifically Milwaukee - including its original pronunciation and surprising number of Socialist mayors - while still decked out in his stage garb, surrounded by various band-mates, roadies and groupies. The look on Wayne and Garth's faces is priceless.
