* Whenever a user edits on a shared Google Doc without being signed in, they will be represented as "Anonymous [insert animal here]". Very rarely, this can settle on "Anonymous [[MemeticMutation Nyan Cat]]".

* ''Film/{{Elysium}}'': Look very closely during the final montage of the joyous citizens of Earth welcoming the medical shuttles. There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Johannesburg… with the alien ship from ''Film/District9'' still hovering over it.

* Music/{{Rush}}

* Toadies' ''Rubberneck'' has a photo of the group printed on the reverse of the back cover, meaning you have to remove the opaque black CD tray to see it. It was also the only image of the band included anywhere on the album packaging.

** If ''Music/RunningWithScissors'' is played on a computer, you can go into the CD and watch an condensed version of his 1996 ''Going Home'' special for the Disney Channel.

** The CD version of ''Music/OffTheDeepEnd'' has ten minutes of silence after the song "You Don't Love Me Anymore", followed by the HiddenTrack "Bite Me", which consists entirely of a few seconds of incoherent screaming. While Al admitted he did it to troll anyone who was listening and forgot to turn off their CD player, it's also a visible ShoutOut to Music/{{Nirvana}}, who employed a similar trick on their album ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'' (which ''Off the Deep End'' parodies with its cover art and opening track).

* UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows:

* In UsefulNotes/MacOS 7.5, making a text clipping of the words "secret about box" and double-clicking it would reward you with a game of ''VideoGame/{{Breakout}}'', with developers' names printed on the blocks.

* In [[UsefulNotes/{{UNIX}} Arch Linux and its derivatives]]:

* As befits a {{metafiction}} about video games, ''Film/BlackMirrorBandersnatch'' has a complicated one: [[spoiler:In TheStinger a character sticks a cassette labelled "Bandersnatch demo" into a tape player, and is rewarded with screechy electronic noise, familiar to anyone who owned a UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum or UsefulNotes/Commodore64. Loading this into a Speccy (or more likely an emulator) will give you a QR code. The QR code in turn takes you to the website for the fictional games company from the episode.]]

* In Season 2 of ''Series/{{Castle}}'', the episode "[[HalloweenEpisode Vampire Weekend]]" has a few {{Shout Out}}s to {{Series/Firefly}}, the television series that made Creator/NathanFillion famous.

* On Music/{{Rush}}'s ''R30'' DVD, there's a documentary about their titular tour, and if you press one on your remote at a certain moment, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment a cartoon plays depicting Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson as dogs (and Neil Peart as their owner), then depicting them all as fighting robots, set to their classic song "By-tor And The Snow Dog"]].

* ''Imperial Bedroom'' by Music/ElvisCostello and the Attractions has a cover design that's meant to be a pastiche of the Pablo Picasso piece "Three Musicians". On the left side of the cover are six odd, slug-like creatures with zippers at the ends of their bodies; if you look closely there are letters on these zippers, and they spell out "PABLO SI".

* ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'': The out of focus posters in Tim's bedroom change just about every time they're seen and are usually used by the artists to give shout-outs to {{Grunge}}, AlternativeRock, PopPunk, and AlternativeMetal bands they like. Keep an eye on Tim's textbooks too, on the rare occasion the titles can be read they can be rather nonsensical.

* The Original Broadway Cast album for ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'' has a hidden surprise--if you leave the CD running after "You Can't Stop the Beat," the cast sings a short song called "Blood on the Pavement." It's an [[GallowsHumor upbeat ditty about finding bloody body parts on the sidewalk after a DUI.]] It also counts as a SpaceWhaleAesop, as there's ''no'' mention of the dangers of drinking and driving anywhere else in the show.

** The double LP ''Still'' by Music/JoyDivision has "THE CHICKEN WON'T STOP" on side one, chicken tracks on sides two and three, and "THE CHICKEN STOPS HERE" on side four. This is evidently a rather morbid reference to the Creator/WernerHerzog film ''Film/{{Stroszek}}'', which earned notoriety for being the last film FaceOfTheBand Ian Curtis watched before ending his life.

* In the Creator/FUNimation dub of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', when the team is confronted by a group of Adjucas (medium-high level Hollows) in Las Noches, Nel tries to use her status as an arrancar to get them to back off. She's told "All that gets you is a free cup of tea at Las Noches". There's a scene in a later episode where Aizen refuses to start a meeting with the Espada until he's certain that everyone has a cup of tea, which [[MemeticMutation has spread through the internet like wildfire]], but at the time this episode of the dub aired the only people who would have known about it are people who have seen the original airings of ''Bleach''.

** The intro to the song "YYZ" is the same rhythm as the Morse code for the actual letters YYZ.

*** "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side (Demo Mix)": [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump TRUMP]] WILL KILL AMERICA

** In "Peak Performance", there's a glance of a computer screen showing the plans for a battle simulation. The simulation's name is ''[[LightNovel/DirtyPair Operation: Lovely Angel]]'', and the three planets in the nearby system are called Kei, Yuri and [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]].

** If ''Music/Poodlehat'' is played on the computer, you can watch Al's old home movies as he playfully riffs them. He also [[ThankingTheViewer thanks you for buying his album]]... [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil "Instead of downloading it like a HOOLIGAN!"]]
