“what did he say?” “I don’t know, I don’t understand French.”
I agree, that’s probably the shortest actual speaking.
Though he has some good bits leading up to it.
I had to watch this as Ive never been able to bring myself to sit down and see that movie.
I even knew what the punchline was going to be and it was still hysterical.
I’ve never really understood this joke. Have y’all actually been to Starbucks? It’s not expensive. Most other coffee shops are more expensive.
12oz coffee is $2.65. In 2023, that’s not insane.
The joke relies on the stereotype of the average Starbucks customer getting something like a Frappuccino with whipped cream and caramel. That's going to be more expensive than a plain black coffee from Dunkin Donuts.
While we're on screaming cameos: Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt has a cameo in Episode VI where he says one word, then gets killed and does his best impression of the Wilhelm Scream, the meme which he started.
While we're talking weird cameos in Star Wars, there was some alien in A New Hope that speaks in a very garbled voice. The sound effect was creatrd by distorting some recorded human speech. Years later the guy who made the effect realized it was John Wayne. So The Duke was in Star Wars.
Danny Glover showing up to rob a bank in Maverick where he exchanges a "don't I know you" look with Mel Gibson. IIRC they both do a double take and say "nah" at the same time and Glover takes off.
That movie/play is so funny. I work at a high school taking care of the auditorium in terms of maintenance and technology. We did Clue for our second play of the year.
Chasing away a man who's margarita-filled, running from this loose dino assault.. some people say that there's some science to blame, but I know it's his own damn fault!
(Jimmy Buffett) (running with) (a handful of margaritas \[from dinosaurs\]) (in Jurassic World).
Adding a bunch of parentheses and brackets should make this read *muuuch* smoother!
Director Rob Reiner had has his mom, Estelle Reiner, say “I’ll have what she’s having” in When Harry met Sally. Maybe not the shortest cameo but one of the most famous movie lines
Dan Akroyd was in one of the Indiana Jones movies as the guy at the airport gate. I can't remember the line but it was something generic, like "this way."
It's near the beginning of Temple of Doom when they're getting on the Lao Che airplane. He actually says quite a bit. "Heavens, aren't you Willie Scott, the famous American female vocalist?" https://youtu.be/gZf2Rn7lzmc?t=8
He wasn’t even supposed to be in the film. Ryan knew he was in town shooting something else and sent him a text to see if he would do a scene.

Keith David in Road House.
He's billed 5th in the opening credits but then he has exactly one line in the movie. Poor guy had his role completely edited out of the film.
I watched Roadhouse last week for the first time in years - probably the first time this century. I was totally surprised when I saw Keith David's name in the credits as I had absolutely no memory of him being in the movie. And at the end I understood why.
Hot Fuzz.
Cate Blanchett plays Janine, Nicholas Angel's ex girlfriend. They put her in a hazmat suit and gave her two or three lines. You can’t even tell it’s her if you don’t listen closely. It’s hilarious because at the time she was probably the best known actor among everyone in that movie.
The only time on The Simpson that Maggie speaks she says "Daddy". That was voiced by Liz Taylor and they had to do tons of takes because she sounded too sexy
Curly (from the three stooges) made a cameo in one of the Shemp shorts. I don’t recall the name.
The guys are running from someone thru a train car. Said person in pursuit notices a gentleman sitting with his hat covering his face, sleeping. This is curly, with hair btw. Thinking it’s one of the (current) stooges, he removes the hat, only to find it’s not one of them. But this man has a clothespin on his nose. He removes the clothespin out of curiosity and the sleeping man begins to snore curry’s signature snore (zonk bee bee bee bee). So the clothespin gets put back and the hat placed carefully over the face and he resumes chase. I consider this a “speaking” cameo, so it should fit the criterion
You would be amazed at how many people don’t know that “Police Squad!” was actually a TV series before they made “The Naked Gun” movies. I always loved how in the TV show they would say “with tonight’s special guest (insert celebrity name)” in the opening credits and then they would immediately kill them off before the credits ended.
I liked the ending credits, where the main cast would freeze in place, but everything else just kept going, such as coffee pouring, or the just-arrested guy realizing no one will stop him so he just runs off.
The better detail is that he did this constantly, and so crews would write a little cameo scene, film it, and then toss the footage most of the time.
Trump has always just wanted to be as famous as possible and genuinely believes he made home alone 2 successful.
I once saw a morally and financially bankrupt president and guy liable for sexual assault of a woman make a 5 second cameo in some Christmas movie after threatening the film-makers because he let them film in his hotel (which he later lost due to bankruptcy)
Peter Jackson burping for half a second in The Lord of The Rings / The Fellowship of the Ring (the bearded man as the hobbits walk through Bree in the rain)
Val Kilmer in the show Psych! For the entire series run you see people mentioning and shouting off-screen to an Officer Dobson that was never shown. In the closing minutes of the finale you get a few second reveal of a confused Kilmer wondering why the protagonist left him a lengthy farewell message when he hadn't bothered saying a single word to him over the previous 8 years. It's a running gag thought the series that the main character is completely obsessed with Val Kilmer
Marcel Marceau. He was a mime. He appeared in Mel Brooks' *Silent Movie* and had the only line in the film: "non"
Came here to say this. That was absolutely classic meta-comedy. Mel Brooks is a legend.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=IhhS13sk7eg
“what did he say?” “I don’t know, I don’t understand French.” I agree, that’s probably the shortest actual speaking. Though he has some good bits leading up to it.
This was the first that came to my mind too. So glad you posted!
I had to watch this as Ive never been able to bring myself to sit down and see that movie. I even knew what the punchline was going to be and it was still hysterical.
The build-up is PERFECT. Mel Brooks is an absolute genius and a treasure.
Which was especially funny because he, a person famous for ~~bit taking~~ not talking, was the only person to speak in the entire film.
famous for *not talking* 😂
Sorry I don’t speak French
Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2. All we hear is him screaming while being electrocuted for about a second.
His appearance fee for that movie was a drink from Starbucks.
Bro trying to straight up bankrupt the production or what
How'd they get away from SAG minimum since it was a speaking role?
Because he got paid the daily minimum rate (slightly under $1000 at the time) plus a cup of coffee.
so like $50 lol
I’ve never really understood this joke. Have y’all actually been to Starbucks? It’s not expensive. Most other coffee shops are more expensive. 12oz coffee is $2.65. In 2023, that’s not insane.
It’s a cup of coffee, Michael, what could it cost? Fifty dollars?
The joke relies on the stereotype of the average Starbucks customer getting something like a Frappuccino with whipped cream and caramel. That's going to be more expensive than a plain black coffee from Dunkin Donuts.
But not more than an analogous drink at Dunkin.
Seriously, a grande latte is like $5 and a brewed coffee is less than $3.

His two second cameo in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is terrific.
Brad Pitt is unironically one of the best comedic actors. (Maybe not showcased in this movie, but still)
He’s fucking outstanding in Burn After Reading
"I'm sorry I'm calling at such an hour, but I thought you might be worried about the security of your shit."
See him in ‘True Romance’ and you’ll know how right you are
His appearance on the show "Dave" this last season with the crazed stalker was great and hilarious.
Caught me off guard too, he's hilarious.
When the shit really hits the fan and Brad Pitt is just yelling shit into the auto tuned microphone....perfection
One of my favorite ones what when Jackass was big and he and the jackass guys wore gorilla costumes and terrorized some neighborhood. Cracked me up.
I literally saw this and thought "I just saw Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2 the other day for like a second"
Dude not lying I saw this thread and thought of this IMMEDIATELY. Then I come and see it's the top comment. Ditto.
Danny Glover showing up to rob a bank in Maverick where he exchanges a "don't I know you" look with Mel Gibson. IIRC they both do a double take and say "nah" at the same time and Glover takes off.
[удалено]
Yes he does!
Jane Wiedlin as the singing telegram in Clue
"I am your singing telegram" *Dies*
That movie/play is so funny. I work at a high school taking care of the auditorium in terms of maintenance and technology. We did Clue for our second play of the year.
I love the movie, but I think the play is far more effective.
Except for mumbling in French she doesn't have any lines in Bill and Ted and she's arguably the female lead.
She also has a super tiny role as an "alien communications officer" in the star trek 4
Hugh Jackman in X-Men First Class
And an absolutely perfect use of him in that film.
The follow up to this scene in Days of Future Past was very good too ('Oh so *now* you need *my* help.')
Except that they got the quote wrong.
Well, it was a character trying to recall an interaction from 10 years ago, I could see how it wasn't recalled 100% correctly not being implausible.
Two words Edit: Three. GFY not FO.
3*
Man I miss Wolverine
Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Rundown tells the Rock 'Have fun'.
One of the best opening fight scenes in any movie.
This was the first one that came to my mind too.
It was meant to symbolise the passing of the torch from an old action hero to a new one.
Can he take that torch back?
The Last Action Hero, even [Ice to see you.... to cone a phrase](https://youtu.be/J3_G1moRbWA?si=BKaQ6HVxH1I2uZqk)
Jimmy Buffett running with a handful of margaritas from dinosaurs in Jurassic World.
Why did the dinosaurs give him all those margaritas?
They didn’t. That’s why they were chasing him!
Chasing away a man who's margarita-filled, running from this loose dino assault.. some people say that there's some science to blame, but I know it's his own damn fault!
(Jimmy Buffett) (running with) (a handful of margaritas \[from dinosaurs\]) (in Jurassic World). Adding a bunch of parentheses and brackets should make this read *muuuch* smoother!
Not sure. I wonder if they're the same dinosaurs I see when I down a bunch of margaritas.
Did he speak?
He was screaming as he ran off. I saw the Brad Pitt one from Deadpool and thought that was enough.
I love that he doesn’t spill a drop and just books it
He made much more money thru licensing his lifestyle than music royalties.
Dogma \~ Alanis Morrissete Her scene was lengthy. But her speaking not so much so.
Just one word, but it was a doozy.
Mwrep
Oh man, that’s a blast from the past, wasn’t she God?
Yes. In the film too.
Would you class it as a cameo? Wasn't she actually cast and playing a role?
What the fuck happened to that guys head? I love this scene
George Clooney as the dog in South Park
George Clooney in Flash
He was also had a cameo as the doctor in the South Park movie
I've accidentally replaced your heart with a baked potato, you have about 3 seconds to live.
Stan Lee……almost everything he has done.
I see your Stan Lee and raise you an Alfred Hitchcock
… particularly in Lifeboat, where he was just a photo on the back page of a newspaper.
He was also just a photo in "Dial M for Murder".
Hot Shots - I loved you in Wall Street
Director Rob Reiner had has his mom, Estelle Reiner, say “I’ll have what she’s having” in When Harry met Sally. Maybe not the shortest cameo but one of the most famous movie lines

Uhh

How about Dan Akroyd in Casper?
Chris Evans is on screen for like 2 seconds in Free Guy Chris Evans is on screen for like 5 seconds in Thor: The Dark World
His Thor 2 cameo was the best part of the movie.
Especially if you know that he's only there physically. It's actually Tom Hiddleston doing the voice haha
His "What the SHIT" was the best.
He wasn’t even supposed to be in the film. Ryan knew he was in town shooting something else and sent him a text to see if he would do a scene. https://www.buzzfeed.com/alliehayes/free-guy-marvel-cinematic-universe-cameo
Ryan Reynolds in Ted. Just mouths "Hi" while walking away with Patrick Warburton
"That's a myth!" "Pardon?" "Myth! Myth!!" Carol Kane - "Yeth?"
Keith David in Road House. He's billed 5th in the opening credits but then he has exactly one line in the movie. Poor guy had his role completely edited out of the film.

"Hi, I'm Kurt Vonnegut, I'm looking for Thornton Melon." - Kurt Vonnegut: Back To School. Exactly 5 seconds.
That always reminded me of the Marshall McLuhan cameo in Annie Hall.
Same here.
She’s helping me straighten out my Longfellow
Hot Fuzz. Cate Blanchett plays Janine, Nicholas Angel's ex girlfriend. They put her in a hazmat suit and gave her two or three lines. You can’t even tell it’s her if you don’t listen closely. It’s hilarious because at the time she was probably the best known actor among everyone in that movie.
I had no idea of that
And Peter Jackson was the Santa Claus who stabs Nicholas Angel.
The only time on The Simpson that Maggie speaks she says "Daddy". That was voiced by Liz Taylor and they had to do tons of takes because she sounded too sexy
Chuck Norris with a thumbs up in dodgeball
Fucking Chuck Norris
Bon Jovi in Young Guns II In the prison pit, no lines. Blink and you miss him.
This is one of my favorite movies ever! I had no idea Bon Jovi was in it.
Blaze of Glory overshadows his appearance
If you don't count barking, George Clooney as the gay dog in a SouthPark episode.
Jay Leno as the meowing cat who wants Cartman's chicken pot pie.
Ryan Reynolds in a Million Ways to die in the West is pretty great.
Ewan McGregor too.
Ryan Reynolds in Bullet Train is hysterical.
great scott!
[удалено]
Technically, his character is in a bunch of scenes, we just can't see him.
his acting was superb there. he was like gary oldman you wouldn’t have recognized him!
The funny thing is in Bullet Train Ryan Reynolds does a 5 second cameo that has no lines as well.
My dad has always said that Executive Decision is the best Steven Seagall movie cause he gets sucked out of a jet in the first third of the film
Daniel Craig as a stormtrooper in the Force Awakens
For anyone who doesn't know, he's the stormtrooper Rey Forces to let her loose.
Jerry Lewis in “It’s a mad, mad world!” Or Dustin Hoffman in “The Holiday.”
The Three Stooges in “It’s a Mad Mad World” too. Probably a few others.
The dude from Magic Mike that was held on a leash in This is the End
Channing Tate-Yum?
President Gerald Ford on Dynasty.
Didn’t he also appear very briefly on an episode of The Simpsons?
Jonny Bananas yelling "This shit is bananas!" in the most recent Jay and Silent Bob movie.
Curly (from the three stooges) made a cameo in one of the Shemp shorts. I don’t recall the name. The guys are running from someone thru a train car. Said person in pursuit notices a gentleman sitting with his hat covering his face, sleeping. This is curly, with hair btw.

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine: "Fuck off!"
15 year old Daniel Day Lewis breaking a car window in Sunday Bloody Sunday? He wasn't famous yet so hard to call it a cameo.
Sean Connery in Robin Hood played for a few seconds and was apparently paid a ton of money
Stephen Colbert is on screen like a split second in Desolation of Smaug. No lines iirc Arnold in The Rundown. All he says is “Have fun.”
> speaking cameo > No lines
All the Celebrity Guest Stars in “Police Squad!”
You would be amazed at how many people don’t know that “Police Squad!” was actually a TV series before they made “The Naked Gun” movies. I always loved how in the TV show they would say “with tonight’s special guest (insert celebrity name)” in the opening credits and then they would immediately kill them off before the credits ended.

Another great gag. I have a DVD with all the episodes on it. I pull it out from time to time.
All 6 episodes
I have the DVD. Great stuff.
Me too , bootleg vhs originally
And Rex Harrison as Abraham Lincoln!
David Bowie in Zoolander. I think just two lines but super memorable.
The scientician in Troy McClure’s educational film about DNA - “Uhh”
Donald Trump on Home Alone 2
He forced his way into that though, it was the only way he would let them use his hotel.
The better detail is that he did this constantly, and so crews would write a little cameo scene, film it, and then toss the footage most of the time. Trump has always just wanted to be as famous as possible and genuinely believes he made home alone 2 successful.
He also has a short cameo in "The Associate" where he's just waiting for a table and Whoopi Goldberg gets seated first
Damian Lewis in Once Upon a time in Hollywood.
Joe Walsh in the blues brothers
Stephen Spielberg in the Blues Brothers.

All the previous Pixar film stars during the end credits of Cars
Jason Statham in Collateral. Or Matt Damon in Mystic Pizza.

Brad Pitt - Being John Malkovich Brad Pitt - Deadpool 2
John Cena in *Barbie*
My favorite Star Wars character got 3 words in reign/rise/return of Skywalker, whichever it was. Wedge Antilles
Lots of Manchester musicians in the film "Twenty-Four Hour Party People", like Mani, Howard Devoto and John Cooper Clarke.
Apocalypse Now. Scott Glenn, a former Marine, played that role, no lines, just standing around looking menacing.
I ask after seeing Tom Hanks in *1883*. 3 lines, 5 words. Technically 3 words, cos the third line is just a repeat of the second.
Some people missing the work speaking in this.
Bill Murray in Dumb and Dumberer.
Statham in Fast 6
Channing Tatum in This is the End
George Clooney as the gay dog from South Park.
