10 Strangest Celebrity Cameos In Video Games

2. Gary Coleman In Postal 2

gary coleman In a game where you can literally kill and/or pee on everyone, there is a list of celebrities in my head that would come to mind as candidates for such a game. Gary Coleman was never particularly high on that list. Todd Bridges? Sure, that guy needs to be knocked down from his high horse, but Gary Coleman? Leave him alone. The worst punishment he could have endured was being Gary Coleman. I can't help but wonder the pitch meeting. "Hey Gary. Look, we're in kind of a jam here. We need a celebrity that the player can decapitate and then urinate on and Heidi Klum's agent won't get back to us." One the more underrated aspects of a game like Postal is the meta-game of seeing how long you can interact in the world before actually harming anyone, and indeed, you can wait in a very long line and simply have him sign a copy of his book. Soon after, a group of psychos come in and have a shootout with him, during which Gary Coleman pulls out an assault rifle and grenades, no doubt prepared for all the hazards that come with book signings.
