It's difficult in artistic endeavours to rate things objectively against one another, but if anyone can beat Sean Connery's cameo at the end of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, I'll eat my own head!
 And don't say the movie sucked. That proves the point even further, because Connery's cameo is that much better because it elevated the end of a mediocre movie!

I laughed out loud when the camera slowly paned past Brad Pitt and Matt Damon to focus on the total dweeb doing all the talking and winning the heart of the girl during a taping of The Dating Game in “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”.

Matt Damon in Eurotrip. Although it's a stupid teen flick, I loved it; it had some funny parts in it.

Hate to say it, but by my definition of "cameo", very few of the ones listed actually qualify. A cameo is a very small part (ie one scene, often not even speaking) that is usually uncredited.
For instance: Robin Williams as the mime instructor in "Shakes the Clown" Most Albert Hitchcock cameos (he would often just be in the background somewhere) Peter Jackson as a hobbit in Fellowship of the Ring. etc.

The cameos in Anchorman were the best. That fight scene had me laughing harder than anything else.

Dana Carvey in This is Spinal Tap. This might not qualify, as I don't suspect he was famous at the time. Think of it as a retro-active cameo.

Dwight Yoakam in The Wedding Crashers. I didn't recognize him at first, since he wasn't wearing a cowboy hat

The examples given by everyone here seem to fit in with the ones given by lindalove, who started this thread. So please stop trying to tell everyone what your definition of a cameo is, and just join in the fun. If this topic doesn't cut it for you, there are plenty of alternatives on this board, one of which I'm sure would meet your standards.

A cameo isn't really an integral part of the cast anyway, so he was right. Dictionary.com - A brief appearance of a prominent actor, as in a single scene of a motion picture.

in kikilidstroms defense I think what they were getting out was the repeating of "his" definition and that the first time he said it was good enuff.
(and I cant find any definition that includes the fact that a cameo is uncredited, maybe Im just not looking in the right place)
