5. Goldberg: Desperate Housewives

One of the more well-known entries on this list it may be, but the idea of retired ex-WCW and WWE ribcage destroyer Bill Goldberg showing up in Desperate Housewives, of all things, is as big a hoot in 2021 as it was in 2005.

Big bad Bill doesn't exactly seem like the most natural fit in a universe built around the delicate balance between family life, crime, and rampant infidelity. Nonetheless, he rocked up in the fourth episode of the show's second season, playing "Inmate #2" in My Heart Belongs to Daddy, in which Goldberg and his other prisoners instigate a riot by threatening Eva Longoria's lawyer when he tries to strike her.

What kind of pencil-necked geek would try such a thing in Goldberg's presence? An idiot lawyer on a soapy 2000's comedy drama.
