I think the overused easter egg should just be the specific reference, not the property as a whole. Like if a game has a Breaking Bad reference that's unique and not just an RV or a pizza, then that's not overused.

In refrence to The Overused Easter Egg Of The Week, i think the specific easter egg does matter. Like if a game just has a Delorean in it, thats overused but if it has a dog kennel with Einstein on it, thats not referenced alot. Just my opinion

Dang I like the reverb and funny pitch shift for the "Overused Video Game Easter Egg of the Week" Its fun 😁

The Fallen Aces soap is actually originally a reference to Dusk, but lots of boomer shooters including Ultrakill and Cultic have references to it.

I feel like the Einstein dog reference from Back to the Future in a recent video was completely unique and was an amazing reference. The subject might be over used, but I feel the method can still be unique and amazing.

I don't know what's crazier: making a reference to H-Doom, or putting a blurred H-Doom Sprite in the reference.

No "Stop Skeletons From Fighting" mention for Selaco? Uncle Derek would disapprove of this.

in relation to the overused easter egg question, i think it matters what kind of reference it is. A red Balloon in a sewer or a pizza on a roof is overused, but more specific references that we havent seen as much should be classed as overused

4:53 Ah, the broken wall, a classic...

When I saw the Easter egg at 7:11 I thought of the Hall and Oates song “Private Eyes” and the lyrics “Private Eyes... they’re watching you”

just to add a side note, the song playing during that crab dance party easter egg is a dance mix from one of the songs from serious sam. and I think that "eyes watching" easter egg is a reference to the game 'condemned: criminal origins', especially since there is a fire axe on the bed and drawn eyes are used throughout the game to mark certain collectables.

3:13 I'd say only the exact ones that are really common should be considered overused... I mean, so far I've never seen BTTF being referenced with Biff's Ford stuck in a manure truck for example... thinking about it... that would be pretty cool. XD

4:09 Honestly reminded me of SHODAN from the System Shock games. Speaking of System Shock, in the 2024 Remake, you can find an audio log hidden away that requires the V3 Rocket Boots to acquire, the audio log is essentially a reference to Mystery Science Theatre.

What happened to the epic "OVER USED VIDEO GAME EASTER EGG OF THE WEEK" sound?

i find the new intro for the over used ester egg way better than the one before

7:20 I think that secret is a reference to another secret in fallen aces, you can find an apartment across the street with a camera setup to take pictures of your apartment and there is a red room with said pictures being developed

I'm pretty sure the song with the crabs is a slight remix of the og serious Sam theme

Finished work just in time for a new egg video

gotta agree with the specific reference on the easter eggs. like if you we're on gta and walt's donation website was accessible, that wouldn't be overused at all

The one at 7:01 reminds me of Condemned, near some crime scenes, there's LOADS of eyes painted around the area. Plus, SKX is a serial killer, so it matches what you said... and now I need to play it again...

Easter egg video? Well what an eggcellent video

Never thought I would see HDoom referenced

you always make me smile man thanks ❤❤

The voice actor who did homelander did a very good job

I agree with others in the comments here, the OUVGEOFW should just be the egg itself, not the property it's referencing. So the Hill Valley model in Contrast wouldn't be an Over Used egg, but the numbers 1.21 and 88 are.

2:10 kudos to the devs for not going for the low hanging fruit (the Rick roll). That fruits hanging so low it’s underground

I think waifuDOOM is a reference to the Doom 2 Mod HDoom and the "eyes watching" is a reference to the "downers" from We Happy Few. Downers are people who stopped taking "Joy", a drug that made people always happy and see everything a lot better than what they actually were.

The House MD easter egg is something i didn't expect, but its funny seeing your fav show get a refereance.

The soap is actually originally from dusk, where it does the same instant kill, it was just referenced in ultrakill. Unsure if it’s a reference, but the stealth immersive sim Gloomwood, also by new blood interactive, uses 415 for a safe near the start of the game as well. Both are obvious parodies of 451, but it could be a direct reference as well.

7:20 reminded me a bit of the Condemned video game series. It's super similar to a few scenes in the first game (Criminal Origins) tbh, and that is indeed a game that has you playing as an FBI crime scene type guy who's following a serial killer

I'm just comfortable with either decision. Every time I see your "Overly Used" part it makes sense which is why I like it. Keep it as is.

The song used in the crab dancing easter egg in Talos Principle 2 is a remix of Serious Sam 3 OST called Boss Fight Strings. Very good soundtrack.

Dear Captain Egg. An Easter egg found in Counter Strike on the newest updates, on the map Memento, you can find various Easter eggs and fun refferences, but one that stand out, is the Book that quotes what Anakin said in Star Wars near one of the spawns. Have fun :D

I know it's not mind blowing, but in this Act of Valorant's Battlepass there's bumble bee skins for certain weapons, each weapon have bullets in the shape of bee's but the shotgun skin has slug rounds instead of the standard bullets.

I like the new way you say “overused easteregg of the week” more than the old one

idk if anyone's mentioned it, but Fallen Aces 415 is actually a double egg. It's referencing the iconic 451 door code, and also the game Gloomwood wherein there is a hidden safe at the beginning that if you input 451, the safe will explode and hurt you, but 415 will unlock it. Gloomwood is also published by the same group as Fallen Aces, New Blood Interactive.

the falling aces one seems to be an evil within reference cause of the music and the broken mirror

The easter egg of Fallen aces with the soap it also happens in Dusk, there's a soap in each level if u fond all u got an achievement, but also the soap is a one hit kill

imagine the game dev make a patch to add art to the missing place, just for the heck of it

The Eyes Watching room is most likely referencing the song "Private Eyes" from 1981.

An overused Easter Egg should be about the specific way something gets referenced and not the actual thing it references. For example, a red balloon in reference to It would be considered overused, but some other kind of reference to it we haven't seen before wouldn't.

2:33 I'm not sure, but the song sounds like the 'Dunes Fight' soundtrack of the game Serious Sam. 4:15 This can be seen as an image of Alma from the F.E.A.R. video game series.

I came here from the Instagram broadcast channel. Absolutely love this episode of Easter eggs!!

Movies and tv scenes can't always be boiled down to one subplot or scene. So I agree with the way you do it now. Wilson the Ball, Pizza on the roof, red balloon in the sewers, etc. All overused video game easter eggs. Now, if they change it up and add a weird dancing clow(as you showcased before) or a chemistry set with mysterious blue substance, well that's a horse of a different color.

I have a Easter egg in Have a Nice Death for me around my 9-10th try to treat my burnout.( not sure if its different for everyone) Patrick the receptionist got pranked for April ghouls by getting his stapler stuck in jello. sound familiar

Hello im from Instagram love your videos

In case you haven’t heard of this. In Fortnite there are NPC’s on the battle royals map and two of them are Persephone and Cerberus. You can talk to them for normal dialog but if you are wearing the Hades skin they greet you accordingly to their close relationship to Hades.

Agree with some on what can be seen as "overused". If it's something like an event or item. Yes. But if its just in relations to it but not a reference to either of those, then no. Examples: Back to the Future: Having a Deloroeon fly/speed off an leaving fire trails, have it in a random cave and covered up behind boards. (Overused) Showing off Einstein's doghouse, or a reference to Dr. Browns dog. (Not Overused as it was just referer to his dog) Now had they placed the dog in a car that zooms off and left fire trails (like in the first movie). Yes, due to it still showing the car doing the same thing as in previous games.

I found an easter egg in Selaco. If you check the drawings in a hospital room on a wall you will find a character from the horror game Silent Hill. You can find in Pathfinder Memorial Wing B (Floor 1) hopefully that helps

In Multiversus, if you crouch while walking as Velma she will take off her glasses and crawl on the floor. While doing so her vision will be blurry

Remnant 2 also has a 0415 code which helps you get a sub machine gun early in the game

In the first of 3 parts of the Talos Principle 2 DLC, if you go left of the main middle area, before getting to the oasis area, you can find a statue and if you climb next to it you can find a hat and a whip being a reference to Indiana Jones. I also uploaded a video of it on your Discord server 👍

I seen u like that comment of someone saying u need timestamps good on u for listening but don't let em control u

6:23 That's a reference to Dusk, another of New Blood's games, and not Ultrakill. Ultrakill itself was actually making a reference to Dusk there

I want an easter egg with a Delorean that turns out to not be a reference to Back to the Future, but to Hotline Miami (e.g. by hiding a chicken mask in the trunk)

as someone said overused easter egg should just be the specific reference, not property as a whole, you can make a short list for both overused in video games AND movies separately then alternate them between videos (if you ever do this more than 2 videos per week)

2:25 this reminds me of Prodigy's Fat Of The Land album cover. 🦀

I came from Instagram and thankfully too because KZfaq didn't notify me despite having the bell on.

the soap of power is just a reference to new blood as a whole, which has a running joke about soap being op as fuck

EASTER EGG/DETAIL: in the end of another crabs treasure in the room with the perfect whirl the background music is a slowed down rendition of the crab rave song. it may be the song of the depths i lowkey forget exaclty when it happens

WaifuDoom is a reference to the famous NSFW mod for the original Doom games, HDoom. The soap is also not an Ultrakill reference - it's a reference to DUSK, in which the soap is the most damaging weapon. This was just _also_ referenced in Ultrakill. Selaco also has an amazing reference to incarcerated boomershooter reviewer Civvie11 - you can find the entrance to his cell (from an old intro on his channel) and the cell itself, and there are teddy bears placed across the game called Teddy11. These can not only be unlocked as a weapon, but are also voiced by the man himself! As for the Overused Easter Eggs - I'd definitely say that it's just the _reference_ that's overused, not the media itself that's being references.

In Pokemon Scarlet DLC (maybe Violet), if you go to the terrarium and head across the savanna biome, you find a unique sight. it is a pyroar (lion-looking Pokemon) on a familiar-looking rock formation. if that isn't cool enough to be featured on this channel capture it and come back later.

you forgot one more in fallen aces, in chapter 2 of the 1st episode beneath the water where the sharks are, there is a sunken submarine with the name "SM-13". A refrence to iron lung

I don't know if you cought that but the music playing in the crab rave easter egg is music from serious sam the first encounter (dunes map)/ the second encounter (bear city) or serious sam 3: BFE (Ugh-Zan IV Boss Fight). I'm saying that so the fans of serious sam may catch this song. Greets from Poland btw :)

the crab rave easter egg makes me incredibly happy

For the overused Easter egg, I feel like it depends on the property. Some movies, tv shows, and video games have multiple references that can be overused. Using portal as an example, there are things like the cake is a lie, the companion cube, and the cores are used a pretty good amount. In cases like Castaway, they just reference Wilson. So, I would say it could be considered overused if the joke itself is used often, but not if the joke isn’t as reused.

Overused Easter Eggs should be the particular references themselves, like referencing "I am your father" for Star Wars or a bullet time dodge for Matrix. I recently came across what I think was a combination of two overused easter eggs that imho partly made up for the overusage. In Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, you can see posters saying "There's always cake at Hivory Towers" (Hivory Towers being the hub world of the first Yooka-Laylee game). I think this is a combination of "The cake is a lie" from the Portal games and "There's always money in the banana stand" from Arrested Development.

I think the Crab Rave easter egg is a double reference: the overall easter egg is a reference to Crab Rave, while halfway through the easter egg song, (I think) the song changes to Dunes from the Serious Sam games

4:57 Oh god no

I definitely think "overused easter egg" means more like the same reference, not the thing BEING referenced. Like the DeLorean, or the Pizza on the Roof, or the Single Red Balloon. But if it was something more like a painting of Native Americans, or a Barrel with a Bee, or the "January Embers" poem, those are NOT overused, even though they all reference the same things (Back to the Future, Breaking Bad, and IT, respectively) as the first 3 easter egg examples I mentioned.

This content of easter eggs is peak entertainment 🎉🎉😊

Like some other comment says before me: The Overused Easter Egg of the Week, should be the element on itself rather than their origins they come from, I will pick another exemple: The Bonefire from Dark Souls we saw that many times, but if it's the big crow or maybe the healing potion it's fine.

i think the fallen aces easter egg might be a reference to Little Nightmares, because of the eyes and the smashed mirror

There's an extra layer to the Selaco Cacodemon easter egg. Selaco runs in the GZDoom engine, which is a modified version of the Doom's id Tech 1 engine

"Overused Easter Egg of the Week" should absolutely take into account the actual and exact Easter Egg. A Red Balloon in a Sewer? Overused Easter Egg. A Dog House with mathematical equations in it? NOT Overused.

I feel for Easter eggs (if they are the same game/movie) used in a different way doesn't classify under "overused" as it's used in a different way making it unique but using like an RV van to reference breaking Bad (like you said for an example) definitely falls under "overused"

Also, Battlefield V had a crab Easter egg, too

😂😂😂😂 The crab dance of all things

You should do a full video on punch club 1/2 they are both full of references and Easter eggs

For Overused Easter egg of the week I think it should only be specific reference themselves and not the franchise as a whole. If it’s a creative and different enough reference it should be it’s own thing

@5:25 WaifuDOOM itself is an Easter egg to mature DOOM mod: H DOOM.

Overused EE might be a dark souls bonfire

I think the overused award should go to specific references like pizza on the roof.

I'm on the band of it should be specific references, giving props to those who figure out how to reference these IPs and such in new ways as new easter eggs and not overused ones.

I think it should be specific references as opposed to series or media as a whole.

I wont give up until you include the "fingerprint marks on the back of a specialisation card while inspecting it if you angle it all the way upwards" in THE FINALS, this one 100% works. But still, great video tho!

Also in mortal kombat 1 he calls Baraka disgusting when you do that brutality to Baraka

Just the specific, overused reference. There are some cool references that are rarely used.

I don’t know if this is an Easter egg, but in the new dlc for gta, at the new bail office business, there is a most wanted target you can capture named Chaz Liberman, maybe his name is a reference to Joe Liberman

2:24 crab noisestorm good old memories 😂

Funny enough selaco has a slight 451 secret, although it's nothing exciting. Typing in 0451 any touch pad will shock you for trying lol

I always felt that calling a unique easter egg an “overused reference” just because the property is referenced a lot was rather unfair.

A deadly bar of soap is a reference to DUSK, not ULTRAKILL (which also was referencing DUSK). And there's a lot more in Fallen Aces not mentioned here. There's a Big John action figure, a meme rat, a recreation of the scene of John Travolta walking out of the bathroom in Pulp Fiction etc. But the biggest reference is in plain sight. The main character's name is Mike Thane. He's a noir thriller detective whose story is narrated through stylised comic book cutscenes. He was being watched and photographed from the flat across the road. When alerted, goons sometimes shout "IT'S THANE, WHACK 'EM!" or "HERE COMES THE PAIN IN THE BUTT". Get it? Don't answer that. A rhetorical question.

The bar of soap actually originates from Dusk, ultrakill references it

You didn't do the voice for the over used Easter egg of the week

Dunno if you've covered it, but in the first Rage, you can find Tuco's teeth in the gas station you first go to. Bit hard to describe, because i haven't played in a while. Maybe someone will have a better explanation.

Captain Eggcelent, in people playground (a steam game) has a easter egg that, when you play the game at 3AM or PM i think, a TV will play a scary graveyard instead of the normal ruzzian channel that plays

Waifu Doom is itself a reference to the Doom mod H-Doom

I know you did a video on it but i want to here you reaction to the gate scene from spec ops the line

i love how autoplay on crab rave brought me here lmfao
