There’s just no stoppin’ smilin’ Stan, is there...?
If you’re a regular viewer of CBS’ the BIG BANG THEORY, you’re getting Stan-sized cookie in your usual geeks-in-situational-comedies meal tonight. Stan Lee will be showing up in his Fantastic Four robe. Probably not for the entire episode - - but there’s photographic evidence above that he will be rocking the outfit at some point, at least. Anyway, like a riddle from the sphinx, here’s CBS’ cryptic synopsis for tonight’s episode "THE EXCELSIOR ACQUISITION".
Sheldon misses his chance to meet comic book legend Stan Lee when he has to attend traffic court after receiving a ticket because of Penny.
Wow... and it would FIGURE that the DMV would find another way to hassle you, going so far as to prevent you from meeting your comics idol. I’m surprised Stan never came up with a super-villain who embodied that institution of inconvenience during all his years writing for Marvel. Sheesh… people thought the WWF’s IRS (Irwin R. Shyster) the evil tax man was an easy villain to hate. He’d have nothing a Damien Meterman Valencia, a DMV-themed villain I just came up with. But I digress…
Stan's accumulated quite the filmography of guest appearances, even if you discount his cameos in Marvel films. He’s done guest spots on the SIMPSONS, MALLRATS, that IDENTITY game show, THE TOXIC AVENGER 4 right off the top of my head… what else is left for the Stan Man?
Help me out here, trivia-minded Comic Vine community. What other Stan guest spots am I forgetting here? What has special appearances have slipped from my memory’s grasp?
