Tim And Eric's Best Cameos

Did you know LeVar Burton is an authority in contemporary dance? Me neither. After being a total boss on Reading Rainbow, Burton began experimenting with astral planes, other dimensions and paranormal phenomena. Naturally, he became stuck in the afterlife. Instead of crying about it, however, he decided to help the living become better at dancing.

Zack Galifianakis dominates most of this clip, but LeVar's cameo is completely absurd and takes the laughter to new levels. The fact that he's playing the ghost of himself is absolutely amazing.

Picture this: Ted Danson, star of The Cheers, 6 inches tall. Is that not perfect?

Following Galifianakis' performance in Little Dancing Man, Ted Danson got into a car accident. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt. Unfortunately, he was struck by lightning and got shrunk. Why did this random electrostatic discharge shrink him and not kill him? I don't know, but it was the best thing to ever happen to his career.

Little Danson Man even features David Cross as Danson's agent and the musical stylings of Peter Cetera. This sketch alone was a cameo bonanza.

Think Steve Mahanahan selling child clown slaves is disturbing? Enter Will Ferrell as Donald Mahanahan, the original child clown salesman and Steve's father.

After Steve is shipped off to jail for touching a clown, Donald corners the market. Donald boasts natural, home-grown child clowns that come from his seed. In case you missed it, he continues to scream it over and over. He only makes it with women have have real clown genes, so I know he's telling the truth.

How they got Ferrell to do this is beyond me, but it makes sense since his partner in crime, John C. Reilly, is a regular on the show.

Danny Trejo is a badass. Not only that, but Danny Trejo is everywhere. To prove it, here's a clip of him on Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job! Trejo is a bad mother%^#$er, and I don't think anyone is man enough to mess with him. Anyone, that is, except David Liebe Hart.

Well, David Liebe Hart's puppet, that is. Danny Trejo gets a puppet-sized slap-down from a cop with some real personal issues. Apparently, his wife is sleeping with everybody and he just can't take it anymore. Not only does Danny Trejo keep a straight face, but he doesn't kill the puppet. Kudos, Mr. Trejo.

When Tim and Eric grow gigantic legs they are able to walk among the clouds. They are so high up, in fact, that they can say hello to the moon. The moon is none other than Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman himself. Nothing is better than a Tim and Eric cameo that is less than five seconds long and completely out of the blue. It makes no sense, adds an extra burst of laughter to the already hilarious skit and will have you rewinding for a double-take more than a few times.

Not to mention you can never have too much Pee-wee.

Rainn Wilson may be known for his more popular role on the American adaptation of The Office, but one of his best performances came out of his cameo on Tim and Eric. Playing the role of a cliche "gamer," Wilson submits a tape to a video dating service. Thanks to the genius of Tim and Eric's editing, Wilson's face is completely scrunched up and his nose is nonexistent. The hilarious image of his mustache right below his eyes is enough to make this sketch a success, but then he opens his mouth and spews some of the funniest shit ever.

Zach Galifianakis has appeared on Tim and Eric on so many occasions he may not even be considered a cameo anymore. Back when he was still fairly new to the show, however, he managed to bring us the Snuggler. The Snuggler is a man with impressive snuggling abilities; capable of snuggling people back to life, into good health and out of depression.

The highlight of this skit is his little dance before he goes soaring through the air, but he also screams at a porcelain animal, wears short shorts and runs in a completely absurd way. Thus, is the Tim and Eric way.

Jeff Goldblum has an impressive filmography and television career under his belt, and he has most recently been seen on the instant TV-hit, Glee. How they got this acclaimed actor and Broadway star to talk about the Jeff Goldblueman Group is something I can't answer. The images of him with his shaved blue head are shockingly hilarious. They even got him to star in Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, having him refer to himself as Chef Goldblum.

Take it away, Chef.

John C. Reilly, like Zach Galifianakis, can hardly be considered a cameo anymore. He even got his own spin-off show playing off his Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! character, Dr. Steve Brule. The first time I saw Reilly lay down one of Brule's Rules, however, had me dying on the floor. Getting words wrong, stuttering and being an all-around imbecile is just the Tim and Eric style, but Dr. Steve Brule takes these staples to new heights.

Here he teaches us how to take down dirtbags with kindness.

Who would have ever thought we'd see Paul Rudd walking down one of the horrible-on-purpose-looking greenscreen walkways of a Tim and Eric skit? Paul Rudd has some serious work to take care of, namely watching different versions of himself dance all day. He boots up a number of sequences, including Celery Man and Oyster. After raising the 4D3D3D3 to the proper levels, he boots up a beta sequence that may not be ready for his eyes.

Now Tayne I can get into.
