10. He's Been Dissed On The Cleveland Show More Than Any Other Celebrity
When it comes to the subject of parody in American comedies; there are sitting ducks, and then there's Kanye West. His entire make up from his music, to his style, to his personal brand, right the way down to his twitter feed makes him an almost irresistible target for script writers looking for an easy joke. South Park's "fishsticks/fish-dicks" skit being one, his rinsing by Jimmy Kemmel being another, but nowhere has given him a rougher ride than Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show. So regular are the jibes at West's latest antics, that the show has an entire character based on him named Kenny. Featuring in every season of the show, Kenny's an aspiring rapper who was first introduced by getting humiliated (think first battle scene in 8 Mile humiliated) by Cleveland Jr. Since then he's been living in his car and wears sunglasses all the time to cover a lazy eye. But who could the show's creators turn to to voice such a character? Who could carry the necessary gravitas, the weight of brilliance, or the depth of inspiration? Well, it's actually Kanye West himself. Don't say he hasn't got a sense of humour.
