WEBVTT 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.000 [Military Men Conversing] 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.000 <v Stan Lee> Private Stan Lee, reporting for duty! And proud to be a cameo artist! 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:40.000 <v Stan Lee> Hello, Academy. It's Stan Lee here. I wanna talk about a serious problem with the Oscars. I haven't won one. You know, the Oscars have turned a blind eye to my body of work as a cameo artist. I don't know. People think that cameos are fluff and nonsense. Dead wrong! 00:00:41.000 --> 00:01:07.000 <v Stan Lee> Every boy wants to be a superhero, right? Not me. I wanted to be a cameo actor. They're the real heroes. Everything must be encapsulated into one golden moment. One line. It's the hardest kind of acting there is. Indulge me for a moment. 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:17.000 <v Stan Lee> You know, I guess one person can make a difference. 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.000 <v Stan Lee> Walk on, drop the moral lesson of the whole film, walk off. Boom! 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.000 <v Male Actor> You look great, Hef. 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.000 <v Stan Lee> How did they get Hugh Hefner? That was me! I'll give you a second to put your brain back in your skull. 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:54.000 <v Stan Lee> Do you have any idea how unnatural it is to just let go of a glass bottle? I've got a letter here written by Sir Lawrence Olivier and Shia LaBeouf. Now, those guys might have some pull with the Academy, right? Let me read it to you. 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:26.000 <v Stan Lee> Most actors are pansies. They're pretty know-nothing's who say words they barely understand. Not so, the cameo artist. The cameo artist is humble. He creates joy in the hearts of the audience, and he exits gracefully. A film without a cameo is dead inside. Signed, Larry and Shia. 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:54.000 <v Stan Lee> There you have it. You know, you can take the actors out of a movie, and it still works. You can't cut the cameo without killing the flick. Let's fix the Oscars by adding a best cameo category. You know, I think it would be a good choice to close the show. 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.000 <v Scarlett O'Hara> Where shall I go? What shall I do? 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.000 <v Rhett Butler> Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:10.000 <v Stan Lee> But, you should give a damn. About the cameo artist. Drape man here to fix the drapes! Damn, that was good!
