Reply to comment by zak55 in Buffy The Vampire Slayer 1992 is freaking weird by zak55

You don't know who Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) is? That wasn't just some no name cameo.

If a role depends on you knowing who an actor is and what they've done before, it's a bad role.

In most scenarios, sure. But it in a comedy like Buffy, having a comedic cameo role by a well-known actor - in this case, a famous children's TV host - adds a lot more humor. Similarly, Tom Cruise's role in Tropic Thunder or Liam Neeson's cameo in Life's Too Short we're integral to the jokes.
