== Base game ==
* A pretty darn obscure one is the New Vegas Samurai trophy/achievement. [[Six -String Samurai|Look at the Vault Boy picture]].....
* [[Metal Gear Solid|One of the brains you can heal Rex with comes from a dog named Rey.]]
* One of the followers is [[Batman|a Ghoul named Raul]].
* A drug addict expresses surprise and disbelief at [[Austin Powers|seeing corn in his... waste]].
* A domesticated mole rat in Sloan is named [[Dragon Age|Snuffles]].
* One of the possible perks to gain is called "[[Léon: The Professional]]", complete with a [[Badass Longcoat]], [[Cool Shades]], [[Guns Akimbo]] [[Career Killers|Assassin]]... and his [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|plant]].
* Here's a little story about Jack and Diane... two Great Khan drug cooks doin'... [[wikipedia:Jack %26 Diane|the best they can]].
* "[[Evil Dead|Good? Bad? The guy with the gun calls the shots.]]"
Line 40:
* [[Return of the Living Dead|Trash wants to be a ghoul.]]
* A bit of a stretch, but Great Khan Jerry The Punk could be a reference to The Misfits frontman Jerry Only.
* [[BioshockBioShock (series)|There's a ruthless businessman running a city he views as his own personal property and talking to you in a condescending manner over a speaker]].
** {{spoiler|And one of the Gun Runners Challenges is to kill him with a golf club.}}
* When speaking to Loyal about his sonic emitter, if your Science skill is too low to help him figure out how to make it work, you can say [[This Is Spinal Tap|"Oh. Does it have a dial or something? Turn it up to 11!"]]
* You can find a [[BFSBlade of Fearsome Size]] made of a car bumper that's about seven feet long. What's it called? The [[Final Fantasy VII|Bumper Sword]].
* A dead prospector located in a heavily irradiated area called the Devil's Throat bears a strong resemblance to [[Duke Nukem]].
* Those versed in US finance will recognize NCR bear and the Legion's bull as symbols of the stock market, the bear and the bull traditionally representing a falling and rising market respectively. The NCR falling while pushing east, and the Legion rising with their conquests.
Line 56:
* Just outside Goodsprings you can find a refrigerator with a skeleton in it. [[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull|It's wearing a brown fedora]]. May double as a [[Take That]], since many people couldn't get over the fourth film's nuclear explosion.
* In a cave you must visit during a quest, you run into some [[The Princess Bride (film)|rodents of unusual size]]...
* A random NPC will mention a [[Monty Python's Flying Circus|vicious gang of]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103003357/http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/grannies.htm old ladies]. You may then get attacked by three of them.
** On the wall in Cottonwood Cove (a Caesar's Legion outpost) is graffiti reading "[[Monty Python's Life of Brian|Romanes eunt domus]]".
* In Nipton you find a pair of clothed, charred corpses outside of a house named [[Star Wars|Owen and Beru]].
Line 73:
 
== Honest Hearts ==
* With Wild Wasteland, one of the tribals is named "Two-Bears-High-Fiving". This is in reference to a rather peculiar ''New Vegas'' mod. The mod's author was apparently very bothered by the fact that there's no dialogue that states one of the Rorschach ink blots Doc Mitchell examines you with looks like two bears high-fiving. [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20120118033205/http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36850 Said mod is solely dedicated to adding that single dialogue line in.]
** Also with Wild Wasteland, talking to White Bird the shaman about the Rite of Passage causes him to say "Take drugs, kill a bear", a reference to the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/advice-dog#.TpjMm7K9Zvc Advice Dog] [[Image Macro]].
 
Line 98:
* [[Fan Film]] [[Fallout: Nuka Break]] gets one in this DLC, before it's even released! A new unique rebar club is added in the game. It's name? The Nuka Breaker.
** Now that it's out, it's special move is in fact called the "Nuka Break."
* One of the One-Star Challenges added is [[BioshockBioShock (series)|A Slave Obeys]]. For those who never played Bioshock, {{spoiler|you kill Mr. House with a golf club}}.
** Another assassination-related Challenge is "[[300|Even A God-King Can Bleed]]", which you get for nailing Caesar in the head with a throwing spear.
* Two of the other One-Star Challenges added - namely, "The Same Could Be Said of All Religious Weapons" and "You Don't Belong In This World!" - are taken from the [[Memetic Mutation|(in)famous intro]] of [[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]].
