Whose cameo appearance is your favorite? For me, it's extremely difficult to choose since I absolutely love all three, but I'll go with Marti simply because she made me laugh the most upon first viewing (and because I think most will vote Joss 😉), though I believe all three are pretty legendary.

I love how well they were integrated into the episodes.
 
I voted Marti Noxon for the following reasons.

1. How she ended up in the cameo. After hearing David was doing one in OMFW she was like 'I want one too! Put me in! Put me in!' and then when Joss actually did she panicked and was like 'Take me out! Take me out!'
2. The lyrics of the song have personified so many bad days of mine that I just love it.
3. The lyrics of the song full stop. Come on, the last line is 'Hey I'm not wearing underwear'!
4. She has a great voice.

Though I did enjoy Joss' Numfar dance. I mean how can I not? Haha

Heh, I didn't know about 1. That would be my reaction too!

The last line is great! Didn´t she say her child (daughter?) asked her why she didn´t wear any? Or something like that?
It got to be Numfar. I mean, really. The others are great too of course. But for me it´s no contest.


And was it Marti or Jane (or even someone else?) that was tricked to be in a scene in the high school cafeteria? Just in the background of course. They told her Joss really liked the idea and he really didn´t at that time. At least that´s what I´ve heard, if my memory doesn´t fail me again (as it´s known to do). Could it be on the "Chosen collection" extra dvd?
 
I went with Numfar, although I adore "They got the mustard ouuut!" (I may even secretly wish that that would be your greeting the minute you clicked on the baords...:whistle: )

But Numfar is seriouly one of my favourite tv moments ...EVER. It's so simple yet so utterly hilarious!

Gah, sorry for misspelling cameos. Don't know how I ended up with the possessive case. I ascribe it to lack of coffee.
 
Of the three, I preferred the Marti Noxon cameo better, but I preferred Fury in "Smile Time," better than any of he choices.

The goat sacrificer in Reprise wasn't bad either.
I voted for Joss as Numfar because really it's just one of the funniest Angel moments! But hohourable mention must also go to David Fury as Gregor Framkin in Smile Time - 'Ooh, courage and pluck, courage and pluck!' :lmao:

David Fury was also in "The House Always Wins." He was in the audience when Lorne is singing.
I voted Joss as Numfar. The Dance of Joy is brilliant, I mean, I can do the Snoopy Dance, but I can't do the Dance of Joy. I tried and failed miserably. :whistle:

The Snoopy Dance is enough, haha
Here's an interesting tidbit of relevant news, I think. Both Marti and David will appear in Joss's online musical Dr. Horrible's Singalong blog. They'll play snarky newscasters.
 
I loved every cameo you listed, but nothing will ever defeat Numfar in my book. My new life goal is to learn the dance of joy.

Same here! I keep trying but I can never get it right.
I was completely unaware until I looked at this post that Numfar was Joss Whedon. That is now my absolute favorite Angel moment EVAR.
 
Marti Noxon no contest. She is my favorite person (next to Joss Whedon) ever and I really love her writing.

Plus, like Joyce said, her song was pretty friggin' funny.
 
"Numfar! Do the dance of joy!"

Gotta be Joss. It's too funny not to vote for it! lol. And I also love the story about how he 'got the part.' He was looking for someone to play the part, and he was like 'NO! We need someone who can do it like this.' *proceds to do the dance of joy* And then someone said to him, 'Why don't you just do it?' I always found that quite funny.
 
Numfar for sure, still amusing to me that's he's in those episodes. Although David Fury comes a close second for his appearance in Smile Time.

Marti Noxon for sure.
The Parking Ticket song is just too good.

I totally missed that last line when watching it the first time.
I caught it later though. It's so funny!
