** The Blu-ray also retains this easter egg but the video is the same one from the DVD.
** The VHS has a similar easter egg where the cursed video is at the beginning of the tape, so if you rewind it all the way, the cursed video will play before the movie. This was not retained in the DVHS release.

* Creator/FUNimation's DVD release of ''Anime/LupinIIIVoyageToDanger'' hid the access to an Easter Egg by forcing you to switch to certain menus in a certain order. An audio clip could then be accessed by the viewer. [[spoiler: You hear Lupin (Creator/SonnyStrait) and Zenigata (Creator/PhillipWilburn) drunkenly singing the series' theme song, followed by Goemon (Creator/MikeMcFarland) lampshading the Easter egg's absurdity.]]

** The intro to the song "YYZ" is the same rhythm as the Morse code for the actual letters YYZ.[[note]]That title itself is a bit of an Easter egg - "YYZ" is IATA code for Toronto Pearson Airport, a reference ''no one'' outside of Toronto (besides pilots, obviously) would get.[[/note]]

* "Rubber Sled" by [[Music/BenFolds Fear of Pop]] is introduced with a sketch wherein [[ActingForTwo Ben Folds talks to Ben Folds]] with some very strange sounding SourceMusic playing in the background - if you tune out the dialogue and focus on the music, it becomes apparent that it's just a ludicrously sped-up recording of "Brick" by Ben Folds Five.

* ''Pinball/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' has "Candy Kodes" - sequences comprised of pictures of different candies which occasionally appear on the playfield's Wonkavision screen after a ball drains. Entering a normal code with the flippers unlocks a screen where they can be input; the bulk of them simply display a message, but some unlock {{Challenge Run}}s.

** Ezekiel can also be seen in the background of several scenes on the plane during ''World Tour'', some more obvious than others. Unlike the example above, there is a purpose to this in that [[spoiler: Ezekiel has been hiding on the plane following his elimination]].
** During ''Revenge of the Island'', a dark, [[RedEyesTakeWarning red-eyed]] figure resembling Mike can be seen in the background of one of his mind scenes. [[spoiler: This serves as foreshadowing for Mal, a character that would become much more prominent during the next season.]]

Originally, "Easter[[labelnote: ]]You thought you would see an easter egg here, but [[Memes/JoJosBizarreAdventure it was I, DIO!]][[/labelnote]]Eggs" was the term for little bits of stuff programmers left behind in the software. They're secrets, intended to tickle the fancy of those who discover them. Programs far too numerous to mention have included Easter eggs -- everything from Microsoft Office to ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto: [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas San Andreas]]''.

* The streaming website Website/{{Twitch}} has various animated emotes used for a function called Cheering, where you spend money on Bits to donate to a streamer and get a cool chat badge out of it. Every year for [[AprilFoolsDay April Fool's Day]], they replace the default smoothly animated Bit with [[StylisticSuck a crappily drawn chalk animation of a Bit]], but you can use this poorly drawn emote all year long by typing "[=DoodleCheer[Number of bits to donate]=]". (Unlike the other Cheer emotes, this one doesn't appear in the menu of selectable emotes outside of April Fool's Day and has to be typed.)
