We all know GW is full of pop culture references, from movies to shows to actual people. If you could add a pop culture reference what would it be? (Remember it doesn't just have to be a boss name or skill, it could also be an event, like chasing the white rabbit in GW:EN, or the random lines that stone summit shout while doing kilroy punch-out which are all references to movie lines).

Personally i have a few, not very funny, but i'd probably smile if i ever saw them:

-A reference to 2 lines from Dave Chapelle Show, some sort of spinoff off of "F@#! yo couch!" and Wayne Brady's line "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a b!#$%?" (You can fill in those characters for yourselves ^^) And maybe even something referring to Rick James, (don't ask, go watch it for yourself).

- A random pokemon reference, that would tickle my fancy for sure. A charr fire mage called Charr-i-zzard?

- My favorite line from dexter's laboratory:"Deeeedeeeeeeeeee-deeeeeeeeeee noooooooooooooooo!!" (saw a monk named like that once lol)

That would be about all I can think of now.

Pay no mind to my silly suggestions, i wanna hear what you guys would add.

I want a mudkip reference.

"So, I heard you like [something]"
Couldn't think of anything to put in the blank. I'm not clever enough.

pop culture sucks in general, so instead of adding in more, I would remove what is there.

I would add a low level quest (Shing Jea, Istan, Pre-searing area) where you have to help a little kid find his/her pet, and the pet's name is Nibbler.

When a Pokemon reference, I'd love to see a quest, the quest giver is a small children with a Mouse Pet (jahai rat skin) being named "Big Atchooo" only 'tards will not know, what is meant with it now XD

This quest will bring us to search for Big Atchooo, which has runned away from the kid. The kid will tell you, that his pet really likes it to be at 1 certain place, when it rains and out there are thunderstorms.

You get for this quest into a special instance, where everythign is very rainy and every few seconds you see the lightnigns in the sky and hear seconds later the loud thunder. Its a Valley, at whichs end is a little house. The place where the kid met his pet. for the animal it seems to have some kidn of importance for its tiny life, because it ever returns to that pace at rainy days to sit then on the top of the house on that metal pole.
The job of you (solo quest) is it now, to rescue the rat. On the way to the house you have to fight soem several Thunder Elements, Lizards and whatever can live in such a rainy valley.

Once you are at the house, you will see, how a lightning jlt crushes into the metal pole at "Big Atchoo". Now you have to revive the little rat and to go ensure, that it can't run away again, you put it into a "Ball" XD, which oh wonders is a white/red one *g*. So you rescued *cough* catched *cough* the pet to bring it back to its owner, the little kid, which is scared of thunderstorms and lighnings and to bring a funny not to that quest to the end, ocne you finsh the quest, the kid will get out his pet of the ball to hug it and when he does it, he will receive a big electic jolt of it, because the body of the rat is still udner electricy XD muahahaha.

that would be an awesome pokemon reference.

However, this time im absolutely not creative enough, for somethign else XD

Guild Wars has a significantly lower amount of pop culture references than most other games.

Pop culture references are only good if done properly. "Drakes on a Plain" is an example of a good reference. Almost everything in this thread are horrible ideas and it appears no one understand what satire is.

It would be cool for a boss to have two green called Zee Axe and Zee Other Axe in honor of one of my favorite Buffy quotes: "I now have my weapons categorized from A to Z, from "axe" to..."zee other axe"."

Hmm...I dunno. Something from Star Fox maybe? (Enemy 1: Can't let you do that, [Name]. Enemy 2: [Evil Dude] has ordered us to take you down. Enemy 3: [Required Hero]! Long time, no see. Enemy 4: [Evil Dude]'s enemy is my enemy!)

I advise the you look up "Quod erat demonstratum," because no three Latin words are more apropriate than those right now.

Quest: ...And Justice for All

Dialogue: Ahoi, you there! I think you just might be able to help me with this quandary. I wouldn't be asking this of you normally, but it seems I picked "the shortest straw" and was the "one" forced out to this land to find a suitable candidate.

It would seem that on "Dyers Eve" of last year, a grave creature named the "Harvester of Sorrow" came and took our most prized possession, although it may not mean much to others, but to the "eye of the beholder" it can be quite valuable.

I need you to hunt this "blackened" undead beast and reclaim our prize. He is vile, wicked and lies on "the frayed ends of sanity" itself and disregards all life...and to him, "to live is to die". Show him true death, reclaim our prize and you will be greatly rewarded!

I would add the Dahaka *from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within* as a super hard boss. Might go good as a general of the Undead Dragon.

I know it is probably a bad way to put in a pop culture reference, but its the only thing I really want seeing how the other thing I could want is in *Monty Python Holy Grail references ftw*

I'd have to be in the same vein as Zingy boy here, GW has too many pop cult references, most of them are blatant and annoying, I doubt GW needs anymore.

On topic however, I'm very very surprised to see that there is no tribute to Team Rocket, I could imagine Lich and Shiro doing being the contenders for them jokes.

I wouldn't add one, too many of these silly references are already in the game in my opinion.

Probably more than a reference, but I'd take Alyson Hannigan's bandcamp lines from American Pie, and use them to replace all of Gwens dialogue in EotN.
