You'll need to clarify. Is it the players making shout outs? Or stuff incorporated into the game?

Or just link to the page with the examples so the rest of us can have a looksee.

Incorporated into the game itself - Eden Eternal
While the Shout-Out page has only one memetic shoutout, I've found many more which I have NOT added yet prior to getting an answer on the question (I play this game myself, these're quotes from another forum, though I can get ingame proof of some) -

  • NPC "Secretary Waver was once an adventurer like you until he took an arrow to the knee."
  • NPC "GG Bank Never will tell you about how it's the only bank in the world founded by leprechauns and built out of reinforced double rainbows."
  • "This one is a HUGE blink-and-you'll-miss reference, but if you look carefully at the loading screen for Morticora Trial, "...one does not simply walk into Morticora.""
  • "...the KP flavor text for mage's Extreme Magic: "I'mma chargin' my magical lazah!""
...there's some other Memetic Mutation Shout Outs like this, but I can't be bothered to get all of the ones I've knowledge of at this moment.

The work is giving a Shout-Out to the meme, which itself is a Shout-Out to the base work. I'd suggest a second-level bullet saying "there are references to memes based on other works", and listing the individual examples at third-level bullets, organized by original source work.

(This is assuming that the MMO has non-meme references as well)

The MMO does (page was linked in previous post). Thank you for your replies as I wasn't too sure what exactly should have been done with those.
