* Crispin Glover again in David Lynch's ''Wild at Heart''. His role as Christmas-obsessed, sandwich-making cousin Dell, who enjoys putting cockroaches in his underpants and has a terrible fear of black gloves - in lasts for about three minutes and is probably the weirdest damn thing he's ever done, which is saying a lot.

** The episode "Utopia" in the new series gets ''three'' of these. First is Derek Jacobi's wonderful performance as Professor Yana, surpassed by Derek Jacobi again in his two-minute-long appearance as the Master, which is surpassed ''again'' by John Simm's even briefer role as the Master (though the last one may not qualify, as Simm spends the subsequent two episodes being a legendary MagnificentBastard).

*After Remy Buxaplenty's lone appearance on ''TheFairlyOddparents'' ("Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary") many fans clamored for another appearance from him and his fairy, and the clamors grew especially after a Halloween episode which had an appearance by Remy's father (but not Remy himself). He eventually got a couple more episodes a few seasons later.
