I loved this one
And people posted about these, but here are some screenshots I took:
I like pie & Here I come to save the day!
edit: Actually, isn't there a fairytale or children's story about a ring baked into a pie?

The 'ah deadlines' is a reference to Douglas Adams I think, unless he referenced it too.

Nope, thats a direct quote from DA. RIP. =(

Seems to be a sort of old thread, but since I didn't find an equivalent and I bet there are many inside jokes that haven't been posted yet...:
I noticed that Tahlkora (or one of the other heroes, I'm pretty sure it was Tahlkora, though) has the habit of saying "Don't tell me what I can't do!" from time to time... sensing some John Locke from the "LOST" series here.

'Mending Refrain' is definitely a joke about Echo Mending.
Its an 'Echo'... and +2-4 regen...with mending in its name.
Too coincidental imo.

Suprised that no one has mentioned the "Drakes on the Plain" mission where goes is like "I'm tired of these balthazar blasted drakes on this balthazar blasted plain" - samuel l jackson from snakes on a plain

Hopefully next expansion we can get some Borat references, that would be hilarious.

there's an insignia titled "to the pain" which i believe is a reference to a movie called The Princess Bride during a deadly drinking contest scene.

Nobody mentioned Drakes on a Plain and its "Snakes on a Plane" and "007 Goldfinger" reference?
Also, theres a quest named "For Your Ears Only" (007 "For Your Eyes Only" reference)

"Riders on the Storm"
"Sleep now in the Fire"
Good songs
And also: "I have the power!" obvious He-Man reference

I can't believe no one's mentioned my absolute favourite (all too young? lol): Skale and Magic Compass. Does no one else remember Elmer Fudd's Spear and Magic Helmet from That's Opera Doc? Best Cartoon Ever! Oy!!

not sure if this got mentioned (151 replies and all), but yesterday I was running around and a Margonite shouted 'Make Your Time!', which is the last line in the All Your Base Belong To Us

sorry for the double post. Despite what it says on the front page, not everything in the forums have been fixed

There is a quest called "A History of Violence", the quest has the same name as a 2005 movie.

What about all the stuff Mad King Thorn says?
"Yes! It even smells like teen spirit!"
"If you don't dance, then you're no friend of mine"
These things are a big reason why I think GW is so fun. I love stumbling across all these inside jokes and references to things (when the new HoH greens hit I got an Ogre-Slaying Knife my first or second run, and that was all I really wanted). This thread has made me want to try the Paragon class, just to see all these skills (I wasn't going to make one before).
As a side note, I didn't really know the song in the Fatboy Slim video with the Walken/Paragon dance, but when watching it I heard a Dune reference in that. "Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm." I hope there are some Dune references later in the game, especially since there's a big desert area with worms in it. I didn't read the whole thread, though.

The accept button of a quest you can get from Dunkoro at the Sunspear Command Post (something to do with a plan he made up) says: "I love it when a plan comes together."
