I tried to dig up an old Friends thread, but my search skills seem to be weak.

I am of the opinion that Brad Pitt's cameo on Friends is one of funniest on any sitcom, ever. Not only was he funny in it, the episode itself was great.

Basically, I wanted to post my appreciation of this episode, but that would be a terrible thread so... what are your favorite cameos in a sitcom?

Henry Winkler's recurring role on Arrested Development was brilliant.

Indeed. Although I'd probably consider him part of the cast, just not as frequently used.

Matt Damon on Will & Grace was really funny.

I thought when Julia Roberts was on Friends that was hilarious. Susie underpants.

'I almost had Awesome Blossom coming out of my nose'The part you quoted isn't very funny. "My blood's red, just like yours" is great, though.

Undeclared had some great cameos during its short run. My favorites being Will Ferrell and Martin Starr.

Also, Freddy Rodriguez's short stint on Scrubs as Carla's brother Marco is hilarious.

But, I think the brief cameo of Conan O'Brien on Valentine's Day episode of The Office is my favorite. If you blink, you'll miss it.

Brendan Fraiser on Scrubs was the best dramatic guest star of all time.

Seth Green is going to be guest starring in Grey's pretty soon. That should be interesting.

I think AD wins for best total...but maybe not best single guest star. There were SO many.

Dan Castellanetta (sp is probably way off) was a great guest star in Friends.

I will agree to an extent. I'm not well versed on dramatic guest star appearances, but I don't know if I'd say all time.

Super good call. That is such an amazing episode in general.

Stewart's description of his show was so great. I'd give the nod to Radcliffe though, based on the quantity and quality of his lines.

He was the Shrepa in the Season One episode "The Script and The Sherpa" He has long hair and a huge beard in the episode. It is hilarious, one of my favorite episodes.
