[Applause]
welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 worst celebrity cameos in
video games
all right let's go bro
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
for this list we're looking at cameos
made by celebrities that were
questionable underwhelming or just all
around
terrible which celebrity cameo made you
say wtf
let us know in the comments below number
10
justin bieber nba 2k13
it's the toronto raptors taking on the
celebrity team
in a sports sim series like the nba 2k
games
one would think the developers wanted to
keep the spotlight on the incredible
athletes that made basketball so
exciting to watch
however nba 2k13 got its roster
overshadowed by the mere presence of
singer
justin bieber we'll go to dorisburg who
spoke with head coach dwayne casey
what's the news doris
his focus kevin seemed to be on the task
of breaking down this defense
it's hard to think of a good reason for
him being in the game
did he just convince the game's
executive producer and fellow musician
jay-z to add him to the game
because no matter how bieber got onto
the court we're pretty sure that most
nba fans weren't begging for his cameo
did 2k13 need the publicity that badly
that's gonna be over and back
not watching for the line that time
number nine
just lane raza aka star wars kid
tony hawk's underground two gas station
burritos plus a van cram with dudes
nothing like a 90 mile an hour dutch
oven the star wars kid became an
unintentional internet legend after
recording where he showcased his love
for the sci-fi franchise
turned into a viral video unfortunately
his appearance in tony hawk's
underground 2 has turned the game into a
product of its time
[Music]
somewhere in the game you can jump into
an apartment and find him displaying his
lightsaber skills in his living room
although it may have been meant as a
harmless easter egg to immortalize raza
the cameo still feels a little
mean-spirited
given how much the real raza was
harassed for the original viral video
it would have been better to honor him
with a move or just made him a playable
character
excuse me i'll invent a move called the
franklin
number eight jamie kennedy espn
nfl 2k5 hey it's jamie kennedy
let's get the party started huh all
right
let's go bruh after jamie kennedy
presented activision's 2007 e3 press
conference while intoxicated
he garnered a notorious reputation in
the video game industry
with this in mind his appearance in espn
nfl 2k
becomes even more cringe-worthy to look
back on than it already was
paul decides to take it out of the end
zone
all righty the 16. the comedian comes
with his own celebrity football team
known as the upper darby cheesecakes
he also likes to comment on almost every
play made with
childish trash talk or smarmy comments
kennedy gets so annoying that there are
times we'd rather shut the game off and
go outside
this game honestly would have been fine
without kennedy's presence
owens that's six in the bank now watch
again
interesting number seven
dualipa fifa 21.
then i'm taking it with a highlight
in espn's soccer sim dua lipa was made
playable as one of the volta
groundbreakers
if you win a match against her you'd be
able to recruit her as part of your team
why does this cool idea get on the list
well you don't really get to see your
team's faces all that much in these
games
the only time you really get a good look
at your players is from when goals are
made
or if you're watching replays so outside
of her stats her cameo is
sort of pointless the worst part is that
she was only available for a limited
time
making the cameo look like she was only
there to generate
buzz this queen deserves better damn it
number six michael jackson ready to
rumble boxing
round two
you can't win the title's mine
don't you know who you're messing with
the ready to rumble games were known for
featuring odd celebrity cameos
the second game weirdly featured
shaquille o'neal and bill clinton as
playable characters
however the most bizarre of them all was
michael jackson
while he was definitely known as an
incredible dancer we're not sure about
the extent of his boxing skills
the king of pop's in-game weight of 125
pounds also put him at an additional
disadvantage against heavyweights
like mama tua or even shaq realistically
jackson's lack of experience relative to
his opponents and slim
figure made it hard to believe he could
win any of the game's matches
[Applause]
who's the king number five
the burger king fight night round three
sports games costing around
60 to 70 bucks today players are growing
less and less tolerant of product
placement
and in-game ads but sadly sports games
have been doing this for a long time
one of the most obnoxious examples could
be found in fight night round three
[Music]
[Applause]
this title received heavy scrutiny for
letting you enlist the burger king
as your trainer while his appearance is
brief his face was
clearly a shameless attempt to squeeze
in more sponsorship money
for the game even the game's
achievements weren't safe from branding
several of them were tied to real life
companies however
the achievement for winning the burger
king invitational fight
had to be the most obnoxious of them all
number four terry crews crack down three
oh there we go
while this is less of a cameo and more
of a leading role
the significance of terry crew's
presence made it impossible
not to include throughout crackdown 3's
marketing we were given the impression
that cruz was going to have a heavy hand
in the game's story
as commander isaiah jackson imagine
our excitement when we booted up the
game eager to have cruz yelling
ridiculous things in our ears
instead we technically play as a copy of
his character who says a small
heaping of lines
we may as well have played as a random
avatar with his voice if they weren't
going to give his character a deep
personality after the first 10 minutes
number three jesse james tony hawks
underground two
what's happening slick
there was a time where jesse james was a
highly respected figure in the world of
reality television
and modified cars so some players found
it cool to see him in a game like tony
hawk's underground too
but alas this is another cameo that did
not age well
his reputation took huge hits in the
years after the game came out between
his legal troubles
and personal controversies james also
had a very public divorce from sandra
bullock
after he was caught being unfaithful to
her in light of his major setbacks most
people who come across this cameo today
would feel like he was undeserving of
the honor
[Music]
number two avenged sevenfold
call of duty black ops 2. let's go kill
this thing rob
double time that means you menendez
granted avenged sevenfold has a lengthy
history with the call of duty franchise
they've been making songs for the
franchise since the first black ops
however there was one scene in the
second black ops that felt
rather forced
[Music]
in a post-credits scene the band puts on
a concert
as they play carry on characters from
the game are seen dancing in the
audience
unnecessary yes hokey
also yes we're sure the idea for this
sounded good on paper
but felt like an ending similar to
cookie cutter animated films marketed
towards
families couldn't they have come up with
a short bit for laughs instead
[Music]
whatevs
before we reveal gaming's worst
celebrity cameos here are a few other
wtf
mentions jeff goldblum the lost world
jurassic park he only shows up upon
completing the game
and lectures you way to go way to go
you made it through you made it through
you spent all that time
and now you're done you did christopher
walken
ripper his delivery says what am i doing
here
all right visiting hour is over there's
nothing here you haven't seen
at the other murder sites except a few
extra gallons of body fluids
funk master flex espn nfl 2k5
can we all just agree the whole thing
was a weird sports sim
that's the way uh-huh i like it

number one kurt cobain guitar hero 5.
[Applause]
this one was just outright disrespectful
for those unfamiliar with nirvana cobain
served the band as the lead singer and
often conveyed a strong stance against
commercialism
tragically the legendary musician would
take his own life in april of 1994
fast forward to 2009 where activision
used his likeness to make him a playable
character in guitar hero 5.
his portrayal sparked backlash and even
discussions of lawsuits from courtney
love who was married to cobain
the bizarre decision to include his
avatar also made gamers question the
ethics
behind commercializing those who have
long since
passed overall many felt this cameo as
more insensitive
than honorable
