SlycerZ: Crend the pointless is the only pop culture reference i need
birdsoundzzz: The "Tenacious Defender" belt in BC was always my favorite "It has the power... to move you"
GrokNZ: There is like 10 references to metal music just in Maldraxxus.

Tapani Nightwish - Marco Tapani Hietala from Nightwish

Osbourne Black - Ozzy Osbourne from Black Sabbath

Odious Gwor - Oderus Urungus from GWAR

Slayer Araya - Tom Araya from Slayer

Taiya Tacere - Taija Riihimäki from Tacere

Mortis Elfsen - Håvard Ellefsen from Mortiis

Valuator Simmons, Sharpeye Stanley, Erak Steelsinger and Trainee Thayer - Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer from KISS (these guys are standing together near training dummies)

Mellisa Fate - Melissa, an album by Mercyful Fate

Arkadia Moa & Su Zettai - Moametal & Sumetal from Babymetal,

Lyra Hailstorm - A bit so so, but Lzzy Hale from Halestorm

Edrich Adebo - Eric Adams from Manowar

Chiara Coil - Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil (Bear in mind Chiara is a real-life italian name, and Lacuna Coil was an italian band)

The statue of the Primus that dominants the landscape is like the giant statue of lord zargothrax on the cover of the album Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex by the band Gloryhammer. Both statues are of powerful sorcerers.
dragonbowlsupper: This could definitely have a part 2. There are so many pop culture references in this game it's nuts.
Holdendave1: @wowcrendor the robin Williams tribute has a story behind it.

I was playing WOD the day he died and I can confirm the story.

Within an hour of the announcement of his passing, there were demands for an in game memorial; hours later there was a petition with over 40,000 signatures demanding the same.

R.I.P. Robin Williams.
SuperWidgetMaster: Fun fact: The singing sunflower pet was voiced by Laura Shigihara who made the music for PvZ and has played D&D with Sam, Dodger, Gmart, Bree, Arex and Benji etc
MegaJawa12: My favourite is the cabbage merchant during the quest when you chase lady ashvane after we figure out she's a baddie. The quest has you chase her on a horse, and at some point you approach a cabbage cart and its merchant, and gives you the choice to jump over the cart or not. If you run through the cart, the cabbage merchant will say "My cabbages!"

This is a reference to the cabbage merchant from avatar the last airbender
Dremag_Gaming: Un'goro also have the gorillas that drop barrels (reference to Donkey Kong)
wedgeserif556: I gotta add a couple that weren't included, just 'cuz I like them so much.

During BC, in Shattrath, the cooking trainer was named Rokk, and when you would click on him, he would say, "Can you smell that?" He was standing next to a large, boiling pot at the time. The reference was to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, whose catch phrase was "Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?"

The other takes an explanation. The standard musical scale is sung using the words DO-RE-MI-FA-SO-LA-TI-DO. ("Do, a deer, female deer," etc.) The innkeeper in Area 52 is named Remi Dodoso. If you sing the syllables of her name, RE-MI-DO-DO-SO, going down an octave on the second DO, then up for the SO, you sing the five notes from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
mattparkent440: Bit of Friends trivia. Chandler permanently reserved that couch in the coffee shop, it doesn't show up much but on the table in front of the couch there is a little gold plaque that says 'RESERVED' on it. Friends is full of weird little background and set design trivia and Easter eggs.
thorgran3: People always talk abbout the Zelda/Link references in UnGoro, but I almost never hear anyone talk about all the Land of the Lost references. From MArshall's Refuge to the pylons and coloured crystals and dinosaurs, it's all from Land of the Lost. I loved that show when I was a kid :D. Cheers and thanks for another fun video.
smallpandochka: this was fun! thank you
straighttalkwithkyle7947: Oh man, there are so many others. Harrison Jones, Captain Swayze and his orc first mate Keanu and many others.
