Yup, from homestarrunner.com comes everyone's favorite burninator in form of the skill Rodgort Invocation.

Others that is quite apparent is the Garden Gnomes who say "Ni!" in BWE6.
They are a reference to Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail, and the Knights Who Say Ni!

Don't know if this has been asked, but where are these gnomes?

Does anyone know what kind of dance the Assasin Female is? Also a while back I was in Ember Light Camp and noticed a lvl 1 player named Kim Ryu...I had a picture of it but I seem to have lost it :'( I think it was either a weird glitch or an admin

Not in the game, He mentioned that were part of a Beta Test Weekend event.

Before Guild Wars came out, there were several weekends where people could "Beta test" the game at different stages, and at the end of these events they had funny/cool events, the most popular of which was Gwen turning evil and killing everyone.

There was only 1 such weekend for Factions release, back in march, where the weekend ending event was Kuunavang under Shiro's control coming and killing everyone in House/Cavalon.

Not sure if this counts, but there's an NPC in Cantha called Loud Kou (In Waijun Bazaar).
Anyway, before you do his quest, If you walk to Nahpui Quarter, he say's a speech that reminds me a lot of Johnny Depp in the new Willy Wonka film (about mumbling and to speak up).. may have been in the original film, though I've not seen it in a while, so I can't check.

I have a feevah...
and the only cure...
is MORE COWBELL!
Of course, the Blue Oyster Cult performs that song. And as you mention, the cowbell is found in a blue oyster.

Its Kung Fu, I forgot what stance movement it was, maybe The Horse, well, I lost most of my kung fu books, and this actualy reminded me to look for them again but, not it isnt tai chi, because you can tell in one of the crescent hand sweeps, he is mimicking the moon and the ocean

Yeah, B&W creater, but the real thing is that they are referring to dredges as looking like moles - Moleneux and the assassin boss you need to kill on his quests - Maximole

after seeing all the funny undies I checked on some other people...as it turns out, Krytan females with the pointy-backed dresses, like the rune traders of LA and Ascalon, don't wear ANY undies at all (I would post a pic, but I am at work).

(apologies in advance for necroposting, but it's better than starting a new thread for nothing)

One of the more recent references/easter eggs i found was one of the Paragon's locked shouts, "It's just a flesh wound." referring obviously to the famed Black Knight sketch from the holy grail. anyone know if "Go for the eyes!" refers to anything?

The newest one is the Paragon shout "It's just a Flesh Wound" which is of course from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

'Go for the eyes' is one of Minsc's shouts in BG. More accurately it is 'Go for the eyes, Boo'.

But then who is going to argue with a chap who has a giant space hamster for a pet ?

Vera was what Jayne from Firefly named his most favorite gun.
Also, not necessarily an intentional reference, but there's a collector in pre-sear named Kaylee, which is the name of another character in Firefly.

I don't think anyone has found this yet, but i suppose this is a reference to mutant fish from The Simpsons... it's the dialogue box of the Fishmonger you have to protect in the 'Closer to the Stars' quest
