The second guy you didn't recognize at 3:38 is a classic Link from Legend of Zelda. He's got the triforce on his shield and everything!

In the last Kingdom Rush Origins easter egg, the spear-thrower hedge is a reference to Ironhide’s first game, Rise of the Olympians. The other guy looks like certain versions of Link, to me, but I can’t be sure.

the most impressive thing is that this man's videos are all recorded by himself, he doesn't use anyone else's clip. like for bf 2042 he could've use the guide clip/images, but no, he just linked it, a true man

Is it rude of me to say that Kingdom Rush Origins shows more respect to Wile E. Coyote and Looney Tunes in general than Warner Bros. does?

There are actually two Easter eggs that Captain didn’t mention. At 2:04 you can see one deer and one little deer in the forest, referencing Disney’s Bambi and her mother. The other reference is the Ewoks from Star Wars you can find in the trees

Your work ethic is very much appreciated Captain, I do hope you'll keep it up and I wish you and your family an eggecellent new year.

Also, the "Super Mario RPG" easter egg is a nicely returning one from the first RPG game as well and not only on the remastered, since you could do the same thing in the original game

The Crab plushie can also be seen in Dead Space (2023) I recall seeing the familiar friend in one of the storage rooms across the Ishimura

I salute to you for not only taking the time to record these, as I know that must take time but also opening up to us about how you felt this year overall. Nonetheless, I think I could speak of most people that we notice the hard work you put in and are appreciative of your content. Keep being you man.

I appreciate the quality and hard work you put in your videos. And the shorter lengths, time wise. I found you several years ago because you don't click bait. Thank you!

Ive never gotten bored once watching you. You are the most wholesome and kind man on yt keep up the good work, love it

Don't be so hard on yourself! This year's videos were excellent, I look forward to every one. Keep it up, you're awesome!

Thanks captain eggcellent for all the Easter eggs you gave this year hope to see more in the future again ❤🔥💯

One of the bush trimmed characters is link from legend of zelda In the older games, great video. 3:35

Regarding the Super Mario RPG easter egg: In the Japanese version of the original game, the item was labeled as Peach's XXX. They altered it to make it a bit less obvious for the English version.

Just because an easter egg is boring doesn't mean your coverage of it is as well. Keep up the good work into the new year, man. :)

You’re the only channel I watch every video of. Looking forward to another year of hidden video game Easter eggs and hidden details. Happy new year! 🎉

3:34 I can confirm that the first guy is "Rise of the Olympians" spear throwing character... While the other one is Link from "Legend of Zelda", holding the master sword and the triforce engraved shield

2:13 George of the Jungle was actually a Jay Ward Cartoon that got Adapted into a Fully-Fledged Film. George Smacking into Trees is actually a Running gag in that Cartoon.

We need a massive video covering as many easter eggs as possible from the Kingdom Rush franchise.

Don't be so hard on yourself man, your content has been excellent this year and its been a pleasure to follow you into another year!

i love the death pose of Petter Griphin easter eggs, i hope there will be many more next year. Happy new year there!

Dude you are a general Inspiration for fun and the simple fact that you Do this on a daily basis and enjoy playing the games that you do. It's nice to fact that you actually go above and beyond to show people. This is what you could find for fun. Hope your new year's rocks and enjoy yourself

I really love this channel because of how much you cover and how you put real care into it all. Surprisingly the easter egg scene on youtube is filled with lame pranks still and just people covering the same thing over and over, or halfway covering it. You give us a lot and say what we think with the bonfires. Thank you for everything you do for easter eggs.

I really don’t know what you mean when you say your standards have slipped- I stumbled across your channel a good few months ago now and I can say I have looked forward to every new video you release. It’s honestly such a nice feeling to hop onto KZfaq to relax and then see that you’ve uploaded, because it’s ten minutes of interesting trivia that I can settle down to for a bit. Keep up the amazing work for all your fans who love what you do, and good luck in the new year :D

Just want to say thank you for entertaining me all year and personally i hope you have a great new year with the people you love.

Hey just wanted to say your content makes me really happy and it's really entertaining. Thank you for makin it. In all the games I have ever played I only found a handful of easter eggs I can't imagine how hard it is finding them

Your videos are such comfort to me. Always drink my coffee and watch your latest vids in the morning when they drop

I've been watching these vids for the past year and they are great! Keep up the great work and thanks for showing us all the secrets that we miss on our own playthroughs!

i have a suggestion, theres this game called streets of rouge, in this game your main goal is to get to the final floor and become the new mayor by taking the current mayors hat so depending on how you take the mayors hat, (stealing as a thief, murder, chloroform, etc) the game will have a slightly altered ending also if you beat the game without any means of speaking you will get a special ending for that to

For real, this year, i never let one of your videos unwatched. You are the best Easter egg hunter in my heart. Happy new year buddy And really hopping that you will get that golden youtube plate next year You really deserve that!

the thumbs up fallout guy? Please tell me as an easter egg channel you know he's called vault boy

I’ve loved your videos for years I’ve had countless breakfasts that start with your loading up one of your videos. 2023 was a good year but I know the next one is going to be even better. I can’t think of anyother Easter Egg hunter more deserving of 1 million subscribers. Cheers to another year lived🍻

Your standards did not slip! Yet again another year, you have kept me intrigued and thrilled with all your easter eggs. Please keep up the great work!!!

A thing that should be mention about ESO's dark soul easter egg is that the knight is a ghost. Part of Dark soul's multplayer aspect was seeing a fellow player as a ghost doing whatever they are doing in their game. Since everyone needed to use the bonfires, you would often see someone's ghost sitting at the fire.

This year has been the first year i have found you and i absolutely love your videos to me this year has been a great year for you!

❤ aww happy new year bro! We ARE ALL in this TOGETHER. This planet has ZERO natural walls and borders. We are all stuck here together and I'm happy to be stuck here with you, Captain Eggcellent!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

You are honestly my favourite Easter egg hunter on this platform, started watching these when I was finishing my final year in year 11 and now am currently working full time as a window fitter on new builds around York and Doncaster, I even remember the exact video I watched for the first time on your channel it was “ 12 of the best Easter eggs in the bioshock collection” so a whole 7 years ago I just remember it popping up on my home page and it had a couple thousand views so I decided to have a look at it considering bioshock was and still is one of my favourite video game series ever, and I’ve been here ever since, I know I’m A month late to this but hope you and your fam had a great Christmas cap, look forward to the many more years of Easter egg hunting 👌💯

During the BF42 holiday event, the vehicle radio will play Christmas music during the Xmas event, rather than the typical BF42 music.

@2:14 George of the Jungle has been swinging into that tree since 1967

The crab plushie is also in the Dead Space Remake, often in storage rooms.

This is the ONLY channel I watch every video of. You do a great job! Thank you!

3:30 the bush holding the sword up is Link from Link to the past, just designed differently

‘This guy’ (the 2nd unidentified bush from Kingdom Rush Origins) is more than likely Link from LoZ. I’ve seen his 8 bit sprite in that exact pose raising the master sword.

In World of Warcraft, there is hundreds of NPC which are references to celebrities, my favoutes are Gordon Tramsay, Haris Pilton and Britney "spears"

That last shrub is Link from the Legend of Zelda series. Even has the tunic, pointy ears, bangs coming out of the cap, and tri-force on the shield just to make sure you get the reference.

In Gotham knights when you walk up from behind an intractable box you will surprise them, which is a reference to the classic apear from nowhere trick Batman does

One of the only channels that I’ll watch the new video as soon as they come out! Love your work, I’ll be here as long as you are

I kid you not I swear I remember seeing that elephant in Ryse Son of Rone in my playthrough a couple years back...

Bro, I do nothing but attend college and work right after. Once I have some short time to myself, I always watch your videos and they make me feel so much better. Give yourself some love and credit man. You're freaking awesome 👌

suggestion (not sure if it has already been done): I disco: Elysium, the side character Kim will do a daily debrief for the events that occurred throughout the day, the detail comes from if you spend more time running than walking, Kim will comment on it, and if you only walk, he will comment also on it, changing the dialogue depending on what you do

There is a similar thing to the Mario-drawer in Tales of Vesperia. You can dig through Rita's (your mage character) drawer near the beginning of the game and find something. She then gets embarrassed, but it's never explained.

I hope you'll do well this year man. Your content is some of my favorite ever on this site and I'd hate to see you go through a bad time

I didn’t notice I wasn’t subscribed until today, but I’ve always loved your videos. Keep up the great work!

ive watched all of your videos I used to watch them before school and i always make sure to watch one the second it comes out.

I dont know anything about krampus,but from what i saw is that it is scary, even obama left the game when it said "krampus is hunting you"

I found your channel this year and have been subscribed since the first video I watched. I love how your channel introduced me to my personal GOTY Hi-Fi Rush and there's no way I would have found it without this channel. Keep up the great work, and if I'm able to ask, as a huge original Fallout fan I would love for you to cover at least one of the many Easter eggs in Fallout 2 with my personal favorite being the bridge keeper from Monty Python stopping the Player Character

I played ESO for a little while a few years ago, I had no idea they've added a first person mode since

Keep at it dude. You're doing a really good job. This uear was great and next year will be even better.

The crab plushie is adorable, have a Happy New Year Captain.

I hope the next year will bring you great prosperity Captain!

The guy with a sword on kingdom rush origins looks so identical to Link from the zelda series. It look like the position of Link finding the sword on the first Zelda game

Thanks Captain Eggcellent for all your hard work this year and happy new year to you and your family.

In Sniper Elite 5, I shot at a guy at a cliff near the Nazi base with a giant Nazi flag on it in the first mission of the game, and when I went over to try to loot his body (he fell off the cliff) Karl said “Happy Trails Hans” which is a reference to Die Hard

Yesss! Let’s go! Love these videos!

the sword holding bush is Link from legendary of zelda. There's no mistaking that tuft of hair peeking from the hat nor the triforce on the shield.

Keep up the good work, all your stuff is genuinely engaging and fun to watch. All the best for the New Year. Ast...

"The thumbs up Fallout guy" Sir, that's Vault Boy. The last shrub is Link from the Zelda games.

There was a George of the Jungle cartoon. Before the movie. Seems like a clearer reference to the cartoon.

The piranha plant that appears at minute 10:57 could also refer to the Piranha Plant from the Plants Vs Zombies games.

Theres a cool detail in the last mario kart update. If you finish all the races, you get new costumes for the miis, whats cool is that all, or at least most of the costumes, have a unique trick animation based on the look of the costume

@captaineggcellent you had mentioned linking a guide, I know I can just look for it myself, but you did mention it, just sayin', and I've really enjoyed watching your stuff, and have a Happy New Year's

The second bush you mentioned is link from the legend of Zelda 😅 bnot sure how you didn’t see it Iconic

As one of my favorite KZfaqrs who haven’t sold their soul and put out such great videos I always get excited when I see a new video up

3:22 Kingdom Rush Piranha Plant, honestly looks more like the Plants vs. Zombies one, but the Super Mario one is more iconic

imagine if someone randomly got mad at our Captain while making another overused easter egg and then they randomly placed a dialogue that says "i KNOW its overused already, Captain." that would be so crazy xD

I’m sure it’s been said already, but the 97 george of the jungle movie was based on a late 60s cartoon.

Him not recognizing Link is Wild.😅

in daymare 1994 in chapter 4 if I'm not mistaken outside in the sandstorm after recharging the generator and you manage to go to the excavation in one of the first exits you can see a trampoline and the sign that warns "caution, graboids" in allusion to the first film of the saga

Man, Happy new Year to you too! I love ur videos and I wouldnt like a shorter version of them, they're good the way they are, I really really love ur content, its pretty funny to watch, keep going, ur da goat man!!!

Funny to see they left Peach's private item in the Mario RPG remake

Hey thank you for all the movies you made the passed 2 years.

I always get excited whenever I see your channel has new uploads. Happy New Year!

I was shocked to see you didnt recognize Link!

I love your videos! I watch everyone that comes out and it totally helps me relax and chill!

We appreciate you so much, man! Thanks for an amazing year!

Hey Cap, I just recently lost my daughter a week before Christmas she was honestly more than I describe in words but all that aside I'd like to thank you for the content you create. Keep up the amazing work

I can happily say that you have done so much that I enjoyed both yours and other Easter egg hunter videos (I.e oddheader,kapci26 etc) and all of you guys do really good amount and it’s also a good thing too that you’re calling out people that make fake content and make original stuff too. Have a good year end and happy new year mate. Stay safe.

Always eggceptional content on stuff I wouldn’t even dare to think about taking the time to find!!! Much appreciated and whatever content is always eggcellent so don’t beat yourself up! Wishing everyone a wonderful 2024

"thumbs up guy from fallout" i feel like ive been betrayed, he's vault boy Mr Egg

About the bushes, i bet the 2nd one Is a referente to link, specifically to the moment in a link to the past, when piks up the máster sword. And btw its great to have a video of yours in muy birthday!

9:16 that shotgun in that cod game is an easter egg from the old Doom game

3:42 the dude with the sword and shield i think is Link From The Legend of Zelda

you're one of my favorite youtubers on the platform. i wanna let you know that no matter what ill watch all your videos. hope you have a good year.

One, Brenden Frasier's George of the Jungle is based off the classic cartoon. Secondly, I'm glad Nintendo kept Peach's vibrator easter egg in the remake.

I have not noticed the quality going down this year, you are too hard on yourself! I wish you a great New Year!!

i can confirm that the hand was a little sad for fans of COD by this

I'm surprised they kept that Mario RPG Easter egg in. We also do not know what it is exactly but we know it's dirty. In the Japanese version it says we found her XXX. Could be magazines, videos, or even a physical object. I'm surprised they kept that but Yoshi is off the cover... I'm very surprised you didn't recognize Link from Legend of Zelda. I don't recognize the first guy but with the triforce on the shield and the look of the clothing for the second bush its surprisingly clear. Speaking of LoZ and Easter eggs for anyone who doesn't know. There is a LoZ Easter egg in Horizon Forbidden West. Some cauldrons have doors with a triforce above the doors. Aloy will even comment on the 3 triangles. If you use your dpad to input Zeldas lullaby, the door will open. Isn't really anything super special on them but it's still cool. Have a wonderful new year and thanks for the awesome videos!

In Hell Pie you can enter a room in Greed's rooms where you can see cages. In those cages are jiggies from banjo-kazooie, pagies from yooka-layle, power stars from super mario and some flowers, not sure from what though

what i believe at 03:36 the bush topiary is the link from the legend of zelda series.
