Somewhere there is a collector who talks about how he hates bears, and that he is putting bears on notice. This is a reference to Stephen Colbert

Good songs

And also: "I have the power!" obvious He-Man reference
Don't forget "Don't Fear the Reaper" from Blue Oyster Cult The Developers seem to like BoC. Remember the quest "more cowbell" lost in a bed of blue oysters which is part of a song by Blue Oyster Cult called Blue Oyster Cult :P

The black moa discussion outside Sunspear Hall is very much an echo of dialogue from Factions, and also steals from the quest boxes if you do the black moa quests....

But it gets better.

If you've got a Black Moa, take it outside the Great Hall near Nunakah and the others.

They scream "Don't let it peck my eyes out!!!!" and run away.

Additional note--

anyone find it intriguing that, according to Varesh and others, "Abbadon will eat your eyes?"
and the black moa pecks out eyes??

Hm. I may have abbadon as a pet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The skill "Bonnetti's Defense"
The NPC "Farrah Cappo"
-From the movie "The Princess Bride" (I just saw it again today, so I'm fresh). The dialog during the fight scene between Wesley and Inigo:
Inigo: You're using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?
Wesley: I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain...
Inigo: Naturally, you must expect me to attack with Capo Ferro!

Rocco Bonnetti and Cappo were both real-life famous fencing champions.

One of Zho's (ranger hench in Factions) quotes is a veritable wall of text about how she lost her eye to a black moa in Echovald. The guy outside Sunspear Great Hall is telling a story that culminates with a woman losing her eye to a black moa...

Inscription: "Don't Call It a Comeback!" - A song by the band Motion City Soundtrack.

I forget which hero, but one says "Don't tell me what I can't do!" which is a reference to John Locke in the Lost series.

I also enjoy a quest decline dialouge from Imperial Captain Shi Wang in the Gate of fear. It reads: "An elite undead mercenary, you say? Sorry, I like all my limbs. Attached."

That one made me Rofl. I'd put up a screenshot of it, but I'm not sure how you make it so the picture appears in the post without having to click on a link.

"Don't Call It A Comeback!" is actually more famous as a line from LL Cool J's classic single "Mama Said Knock You Out".

The Stone Summit guys in the North Shiverpeaks like to use the shout "For Great Justice!"

We all know where that comes from.

Some of the quest accept/decline lines are hilarious.

For example, Drakes on a Plain quest, the quest giver goes on about how hes in a bit of a jam and needs help from Koss and you guys.

The quest decline line is "Mmmm.... Jam" a la Homer Simpson.

At the end of Drakes on a Plain,

"No, I expect you to die."

A reference to Goldfinger.

Have you tried taking a black Moa pet near the NPC's outside the Sunspear hall? It's hilarious. They both take off running, "Help a black Moa run for your life."

More Cowbell also references a classic SNL skit with Will Ferell. "I've got a fever and you know what the cure is? More cowbell!" It's great

One that cracks me up is the quest accept response for the Command Post " Our own secret hideout? I'm so totally there!"

And of course the cow mission. I guess that means there IS a Cow level.

Also what's with all the hostle packs of animals in Nightfall? Theres got to be a joke in that.

There's two Star Wars references in Pogahn Passage, but I've got to run so I'll post later. Try and spot them.
