[pizzalord1]

I know there was an "All your base" reference when you talk to one of the DT ghosts without the ghostspeak amulet, i'll try screening it tomorrow.

 

 

 

Oh, and then theres "This is not the mightiest tree in the forest." Use a raw herring on any normal tree to get that one.

On Lunar Isle, when you examine Bouqet Mac Hyacinth you get "Should I pronounce it bucket?"

 

 

 

And I believe that Miscellania has a "Hey nonnny nonny" reference to Hamlet somewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

I'll edit this post later I think. I don't actually have any screenies though. I'll try to get some.

Yeah, I want SCREENSHOTS. And where is the "Should i pronounce it bucket" reference from

Sorry to sound like a wannabe mod but there is already a topic on this, I remember reading it a while ago and it started with a lot of Monty Python references.

Is it a really, really old topic? I think I might recall one from ages ago. But if you're thinking of one where someone noticed the Monty Python references in-game then I'd have to say that THIS thread is more-so for all of the references. A sort of list of the spoofs that Jagex has placed in the game. A thread like this (if it's comprehensive) is needed!

[slushee]

There are some similarities between the Kalphite Queen and Metroid Prime.

 

It has been reported that the Chaos Elemental somewhat resembles one of the monsters from Lost.

 

 

 

LOL these two made me laugh

[Skill_Caster]

Nice find, but I never thought RS would relate to Lost...

[Dharockslayer]

Examine Leif the lumberjack on miscelania: "he's a lumberjack and hes ok"

 

8-)

[ev_l_dragon]

 

Jeremy Clarkson? :roll:

 

He's in the church in Varrok.

[Celluzion]

Yeah, I wondered if anyone else had noticed the Jeremy Clarkson reference in Varrock Church.

Would just like to say on number 23 theres a typo.

 

"In issues 5 and 9 of the NPC letters, the Chaos Elemental is shown to use fragmented and nonsensical speech. This may be a reference to the thought disorder often associated with schizophrenia. ( but he did teel the truth about the furture like 3 quarter of the letter were strange wroted views of the future that even did come out so it is just a long term behind the scenes"

 

 

 

Just wanted to get that off my chest.....now to party!! \ \

[Pokeync]

Haha....i gotta try some of these

[blink182rocker]

yeah lol these are great imma gonna look for some

[Peronix]

Can't be bothered to look if this was already posted, but there is an obvious austin powers reference when you examine the piglets in draynor village. "I shall call him, mini pig!".

 

 

 

And then there is the guy from the 'Slug Menace' quest called "Col Jake O'Nial", possibly a reference one of the main characters in the popular Sci Fi series, Stargate SG1

[doomedpixel]

Yeah, the slug menace quest has so many stargate SG1 refrences, it's not even funny.

 

 

 

And the one about the KQ and Metroid Prime looking similar is great, but has anyone noticed the near perfect resemblance between spinners (Pest control) and metroids?

 

 

 

and to met 2003: That's an obvious refrence to the popular "skeleton in the closet" children's fear. Sice closets didn't exist back then, wardrobes will have to do.

 

 

 

I know tons more, but can't think of any from off the top of my head. I'l remember soon as I log off :)

[Matthewlock]

1. Fortunato, the wine seller in Draynor Village, is taken from The Cask of Amontillado.

 

2. Koschei the Deathless, who plays a key role in The Fremennik Trials, is taken from Russian folklore.

 

3. The firebird that appears in the Heroes Quest also seems to have been inspired by Russian folklore.

 

4. The dart-dodging animation played in the Brimhaven agility arena was obviously inspired by the Matrix series.

 

5. One of the restless ghosts in Morytania will occasionally say "all your base are belong to us" if the player talks to him.

 

6. Players can find needles if they search haystacks long enough.

 

7. One of the NPCs from the Death Plateau quest is named Tenzing. He was probably named after Tenzing Norgay, one of the first people to successfully climb Mount Everest.

 

8. Players may see a wandering cat named Bob, who gives the text "The Jagex cat" upon examination. A Jagex staff member has stated that Bob is based on a real cat in the Jagex office. In A Tail of Two Cats, the player gets to interact with Bob.

 

9. Also, the name for the quest A Tail of Two Cats was obviously taken from the 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles [bleep]ens.

 

10. The sea snake youngs give the message "Snake, snake, oh, it's a young snake..." when being examined. It is probably a reference to Badger Badger Badger.

 

11. The last part of the Rat Catchers quest was inspired by the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

 

12. There are some similarities between the Kalphite Queen and Metroid Prime.

 

13. It has been reported that the Chaos Elemental somewhat resembles one of the monsters from Lost.

 

14. The "Dancing Knights" from the Party Hall are probably ripped from the cult film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

 

15. The city of Camelot and many of its inhabitants play important roles in Arthurian legend.

 

16. The Romeo & Juliet quest is obviously based on the classic play by Shakespeare, except that it has a happier ending and nobody dies.

 

17. The bakers in Ardougne give the message "So where are the butcher and the candlestick maker?" upon examination. This is a reference to Rub A Dub Dub, a nursery rhyme.

 

18. One of the songs is called Little Cave of Horrors. It is probably intended as a reference to Little Shop of Horrors.

 

19. One of the trials in Recruitment Drive involves "dihydrogen monoxide" - perhaps it's a reference to that famous hoax?

 

20. After the player frees the monkey from the zoo in Monkey Madness, the monkey may start singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight on the journey home.

 

21. One of the pigs in Draynor suggests the name "mini-pig" when examined. Similarly, some of the baby moles mention "Mini Mole" when examined. These seem to be references to Mini-Me in the Austin Powers series.

 

22. Some other baby moles give the text "Moley, moley, moley!" when examined. This also seems to be an Austin Powers reference.

 

23. In issues 5 and 9 of the NPC letters, the Chaos Elemental seems to use fragmented and nonsensical speech. This may be a reference to the thought disorder often associated with schizophrenia. However, some of the Chaos Elemental's speech did seem to "predict" future updates.

 

24. In Recipe for Disaster, the Awowogei sub-quest involves the three wise monkeys who see, hear, and speak no evil.

 

25. Players can get the message "This is not the mightiest tree in the forest." by using a herring (raw or cooked) with a tree. This is another reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

 

26. Ezekial Lovecraft, the fishing shop owner in Witchaven, mentions that his relatives were writers and that his grandfather's name was Howard. This is a reference to H. P. Lovecraft.

 

27. In the Pirate Pete sub-quest of Recipe for Disaster, the gypsy mentions that her "gypsy-sense" is picking up something. This may be a reference to Spider-Man.

 

28. During a cut-scene in The Eyes of Glouphrie, an NPC gives the text "Can he build it? Yes he can!" upon examination. This is a reference to Bob the Builder.

 

29. In a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the vaults in the Stronghold of Security have the themes of war, famine, pestilence, and death.

 

30. The Jekyll and Hyde random event was obviously taken from The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

 

31. Players with level 83 construction can add a monster called Rocnar to their oubliettes. This is probably a reference to the rancor, a monster from the Star Wars series.
