10 INSANE TV Cameos You've Never Seen

5. Amy Poehler - Community

Lost Rob McElhenney
Sony Pictures Television

Community's rolodex of cameos and guest stars is absolutely stacked deep, but here's one kinda-sorta-cameo you almost certainly never spotted yourself.

In the season two episode "Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking," you'll surely remember the gut-busting sequence where Troy (Donald Glover) is rendered literally speechless by the presence of his childhood idol Levar Burton.

This prompts Troy to privately freak out in the hospital's lunch room, where he iconically shouts, "You can't disappoint a picture!" If you can somehow avert your eyes from Troy's riotous breakdown, though, there's a very interesting poster hanging on the wall.

It's really tough to catch, but the poster, for the hospital's junior volunteers program, contains a stock photo of a young Amy Poehler of all people.

The poster is adorned with an image of Poehler, who was a stock photo model in her youth, dressed as a hospital candy striper, which the show's prop team evidently couldn't resist including here.

Awesome as it would've been to see Poehler appear on the show in earnest, this is a pretty damn hilarious substitute.
