During Star-Lord's final battle with Ego, Ego briefly transforms himself into the very man Peter would pretend was his father as a kid: David freaking Hasselhoff.

That's right, The Hoff has a quick cameo in the third act playing himself in a Knight Rider-esque get-up, and while you can argue it's a needless jolt of comedy in a fairly serious scene, the sheer "Is this really happening?" appeal of seeing him in a Marvel movie basically speaks for itself.

In a film absolutely riddled with cameos, he might get the most wonderfully weird and unexpected of all. Further still, he also contributes to a song that plays through the movie's credits. How bizarre.
