Ok, some are quite obvious, like "Can't Touch This!", but what other obscure jokes/references have you discovered so far? I just came across this one:
For those who don't get it, you'd have had to see the 80's movie Blue Thunder.

I was doing this one quest at Zehlon Reach, when attacking the NPC, he starts shouting "Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!", I almost fell off my chair laughing at that.
From Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!

I wonder if the names Zehlon Reach and Elona Reach are connected, they sound awfully close.

Off-topic but I love the clothes on that npc. Very well designed and well made. The art in Nightfall is very, very good.

the warrrior skill " head butt" was named Enadiz Headbutt. The name was a tribute to the famous French football player Zinedine Zidane (Enadiz, spelled backwards) who was sent off the field for headbutting the Italian player Marco Materazzi in the 2006 world cup final match, the last match of Zidane's great career.
personally i think anet should change it back.

though it was a fake at first.
and if the boss carrying it was named Izzaretam Enadiz, and was giving out a green maul called, say, enadiz's skullcrusher, that would really make my day

The whole "carried off by the pirates" quest is hilarious, and I think it's a tongue-in-cheek reference to both Talk Like A Pirate day and Jatoro Musagi quest from Factions.

Quest accept/refuse buttons have always been amusing (a personal favorite is the refuse button for a quest in Maatu Keep that says "convince them to stay? Heck, I'm joining them!")
