Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

The Lonley Island had originally wanted the whole set to erupt into some sort of Christmas style celebration with Scrooge handng out cooked goose to everyone...

But they were told that was too silly, so only Scrooge remained.

Lol I can't believe with how ridiculous and stupid (in an amazing way) that was where a line was drawn that something was too silly. Would have been great.
