FWIW, Depp was only really known for 21 Jump Street, Edward Scissorhands and Cry Baby at that point. Which did make him a celebrity, for sure, but not as much of one as he is now. Also he was pretty active in music.

I know all that, but it still has that great feel of
"maybe you could be in the music video. you're already in town."
"sure. What do you want me to do?"
"I dunno. We'll figure that out later"

surely MJ's "Liberian girl" is the king of this (and of pop) !
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 31 July 2015 12:45 (eight years ago) link
Liberian girl video would be better if Neil Kinnock was one of the celebrities in it.
I don't really think the use of Kinnock in the 'My Guy' video is 'lazy' exactly, but I wasn't sure if it was worth starting another thread for muisc vid celeb cameos

has someone outdone MJ since that video in terms of "I know so many celebs", by the way ?

this must come close, 2:38 onwards

the listing of celebs in "liberian girl" is pretty fun (although I have no idea who many of them are !) :

apparently Jerry Sadowitz demanded that the video for Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes be removed from youtube so Blair Booth created a version with him edited out and replaced with Adobe After Effects

Blair Booth 3 years ago in reply to karma freespirt @jimsmirror Hi Jim, Seems we have an imposter on board. anouchkagroce20009 is not Anouchka Groce. Seems this person who I believe's real name is Tracey Weaver and she has 5 youtube accounts. They are: 2007crowdedhouse, emimusicgirl2011, traceyweaver100, terryblairanouchka and anouchkagroce2000-. Seems she has a dislike for Crowded House. Not quite sure what she hopes to gain by her shenanigans. All the best, Blair
who knew things would be so complicated for Blair Booth on youtube?

"Break Stuff":
The music video was shot at Skatelab. The band members are seen in some scenes not playing any instruments and some scenes they are playing each other's instruments. Cameos include Snoop Dogg, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Eminem's daughter Hailie, Pauly Shore, Seth Green, Stryker, Riley Hawk and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and comedian Richard Lewis.

I guess that's not a lazy use, though. Lemmy actually plays a defined conceptual part.

more of an awesomely lazy cameo by a celebrity than an awesomely lazy use of a celebrity in a cameo, but george clinton is beautifully indifferent in the intro to gerardo's other hit - "hey, rico suave!" "i'm gerardo!" "yeah, gerardo suave!"
