10 INSANE TV Cameos You've Never Seen
These TV cameos will melt your brain.
Who among us doesn't love being surprised with a cameo?
Cameos by their nature are usually intended to draw attention to themselves and be widely discussed by audiences, and yet sometimes they manage to slip through the cracks for one reason or another, and for better or worse.
That's especially true in the world of TV, where a series' sheer number of episodes and seasons can make it tough to keep track of everyone who shows up on-screen throughout.
And so, inspired by this recent Reddit thread on the very subject, we come to 10 insane TV cameos that you've almost definitely never seen. And even if you've objectively watched them, you probably didn't realise quite what you were looking at.
These cameos range from surprise sitcom crossovers to bizarrely low-key appearances by major celebrities, and even a cartoon character showing up in the world of live-action (sort of).
If successful cameos should be surprising and totally unexpected, than these 10 knocked it way out of the park, even if many still don't know about them decades after they originally aired...
10. Matthew Perry - Caroline In The City
Even though Friends' Chandler Bing is of course one of the most iconic TV characters of all time, did you know that Matthew Perry also played him during a cameo appearance on hit sitcom Caroline in the City?
In the show's sixth ever episode, Annie (Amy Pietz) visits the video rental store - remember those? - to pick out a movie, at which point Perry's Chandler can be seen browsing titles in the "sports" aisle.
Upon clocking Annie and clearly showing an interest in her, he puts the sports tape down and picks up the decidedly classier art-house flick The Piano instead.
Chandler then uses this to start a conversation with Annie where he attempts to project an image of himself as a refined lover of cinema, but when he asks Annie what she's renting, she reveals she's going to watch Sorority House Massacre II.
Upon realising his gaffe, Chandler hilariously quips, "So I could've pretty much just been myself," and when Annie insists that he indeed be himself, he panics, freezes up, and promptly leaves the rental store.
Even die-hard Friends fans are still learning about this cameo, no matter that Caroline in the City was a hugely popular sitcom in its own right.
