Is it possible to have a cameo role in a film if you're not already a celebrity? Can just be being in a film for a brief moment make it a cameo role? If it does, then I think I've just witnessed the funniest one ever.
In many way, Eurotrip shouldn't be funny. It's one of those teen comedies which follows the American Pie formula by mixing emotion with excruciating embarassment and odd moments of gross-out humour to create something which is incredibly watchable.
Stuck out of the way on BBC 1 last night at around 11.30pm, you can't help but think the Beeb schedulers were looking for something to pad the evening out before flicking across to News 24.
Then again, Eurotrip probably isn't the sort of film they can stick on in primetime, given that some of scenes are only so funny because they cross the decency line so much.
In a nutshell, Eurotrip sees a group of friends for Ohio trek across Europe to find the main character, Scott's, email penpal who he realises he is in love with - but only after he mistook "Mika the German" to be "Mike the German", and accused her of trying to crack on to him.
Much fun ensues - twins snogging, creepy French men trying to trap off with then, surreal trips to nudist beaches, and, somehow, almost becoming the the new Pope.
But the moment which made it for me involved a three year old pretending to be Hitler. If you want a laugh, then click below. Laugh you will.
