Other breaking bad thing: in the scene after the plane crash with people looking about in Walt's pool with their respiratory protection and suits and stuff there is like, loving Darth Vader breathing apparatus noises, but the dude is just wearing a mask without any filters or a respirator attached so he should be breathing normally.

He's the office clown, he always makes those noises when he puts on those outfits, even though nobody laughed the first time he did it.

I don't know what to call it, so let me try to explain it.

In a lot of comedies about schlubby normal dudes (a lot of stoner comedies, too), there's often this weird idolization of some c/d-list celebrity that usually isn't even from the generation of the cast. It becomes this worship where they will say "X would never do that to a bro!", or "what would X do!", and then lo and behold there's a cameo "as himself" and he gets to give sage advice or be really weird and self referential and I kind of hate it. Off the top of my head I can think of Neil Diamond in Saving Silverman, Neil Patrick Harris in Harold & Kumar, and I think there was a guy in Dude! Where's My Car?. That movie This Is The End is basically this: the movie...

This is the End shouldn't really count because the main characters are celebrities too. The cameos all make sense.

Adam Sandler movies use this trope all the time, usually with athletes.

You have to give the man credit for being more of a drunken clusterfuck than Oliver Reed. That takes dedication.

Also, he hit Norman Mailer with a hammer. He gets a few points for that one.

He was also in quite a bit of the first season of Supernatural but doesn't come back until the last episode of the second season. After that he's gone forever.

In the various Buddies movies that spawned from air bud, it always irritates me how terrible the owners of these puppies are. Puppies should be at home, not going into space, finding ancient egyptian treasure, defeating the howloween hound or participating in a sled dog race. I mean, they always end up being fine in the end, but most people assume their puppies can't talk to other puppies and know that the only adventures they are going to have outside the house will be running into a highway and dying.

And even then he's said he will come back for an appearance in the last season of Supernatural if they ask him. So the only thing that's stopped him returning is that they can't seem to stop making Supernatural.

When I was a freshman in college my roommate came home drunk every night the first semester, stoned the second, and woke me up microwaving his ramen and tripping all over his poo poo on the floor. He learned how to buzz pennies by snapping your fingers and he chipped my (the last I ever had) CRT monitor by pinging one over my shoulder trying to buzz my ear as close as possible. He denied as long as I knew him that his penny did that chip and that he owed me even so much as an apology. His friends stole my wallet and then he found out and got them to return it and asked me every day if I found my wallet yet and kept moving the hiding place to more obvious places until I found it. He didn't wash his clothes, he febreezed them. He never took out the trash. Not once. It was just down the hallway. He would stack trash up as high as the trash was deep but he would literally never, never, never take out the trash.

The last day, moving out, I flipped out on him. Not about any of the other poo poo like damaged/missing property but about the trash. I threw the most shameful hissy fit of my life demanding he take this one symbolic bag of trash out to the dumpster and he did it making a "whoa, okay buddY" look the whole time.

That is why Buscemi didn't pay him for the car. He was at the end of his rope dealing with a lovely roommate and chose the worst possible moment to draw a line in the sand.

Well, i'm pretty sure if/when they release a buddies movie involving time travel it just might turn me autistic.

And I mean, to be fair, they really ARE bad owners, but I am repeatedly watching movies designed for 5 year olds where "making sense" takes a back seat to "talking baby animals", hence why it is irrationally irritating.
