World of Warcraft is loaded with easter eggs. I don’t mean that there are one or two easter eggs laced through this game: I mean there are literally hundreds of these things scattered all throughout WoW.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the gems located across Azeroth:

The Hoffa Mystery

While fishing, you have a chance to obtain a “Teamster’s Skull” — a likely reference to teamster unions, and their boss Jimmy Hoffa. One day he mysteriously disappeared and his body was never found. There’s a description on the item that says, “Looks like someone didn’t like this guy”. At last, the mystery is solved.

Head Toss

When idle for a while, various undead skeletons will toss their head off, catch it and then stick it back on. A reference to the old, “The Secret of Monkey Island” game, where an undead pirate captain had a first mate named “Bob” whose head would launch into the air and land back on his neck.

Probable but not possible

The Rouge poison quest is titled “Mission: Possible, But Not Probable,” an obvious reference to Mission Impossible.

Norman Bates

The Innkeeper in Undercity is named Norman and the one in Sepulcher is named Bates, a reference to the psycho killer Norman Bates.

Pastime Characters

You can find Dalar Dawnweaver, which is a possible random name of an archmage in Warcraft 3.

Stable Boy

The Stablemaster “Wesley” in Southshore is a refrence to The Princess Bride. In the movie, Wesley was the stable boy for Buttercup’s parents.

For A Burger Today

Topper McNab in the aisle of Stormwind sometimes yells out, “I will gladly pay you <next day> for a hamburger today,” a reference to Whimpy, from the Popeye the Sailor Man cartoon.

The Grand Pope

There is a bishop standing next to the altar named Benedictus, a reference to the newly elected pope.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

There’s a man walking around with a mug that advertises for the Blue Recluse, a tavern. One of his advertisements reads: “head on down to the Blue Recluse where everybody knows your name!” This is a reference to the popular sitcom Cheers.

There’s a hell of a lot more. You can download a free World of Warcraft Easter Egg Guide here.
