Adam Sandler’s new sequel, “Happy Gilmore 2,” after the actor-comedian reluctantly asked him to do a bit part for the movie since he thought it’d be pretty funny. Sometimes, these cameos totally make sense and actually elevate the film/series, while other times they feel cringe-inducing, unnecessary, and otherwise entirely irrelevant to the story.
So far as Jelly Roll’s cameo in the second episode of “Tulsa King” season 2 is concerned, well, it certainly falls into the latter category. While it admittedly doesn’t mess with the show’s gangster/redneck vibe (luckily), it still kind of comes out of nowhere and feels randomly forced into the plot, without having any legitimate reason for being there other than the singer’s fascination and love for the Taylor Sheridan-created show. Naturally, it’s played like an eye-roll-inducing gag, with Sylvester Stallone’s seasoned tough guy Dwight Manfredi having no clue who this big tattooed guy is when he walks into his party — partly because he spent the last 25 years in prison, and partly because he’s an old man (75) who’s not exactly versed in the current music landscape.
