Line 1:
{{work}}
* The ending song jokingly and mockingly references [[Half-Life (series)|Black Mesa]]. Songwriter [[Jonathan Coulton]] also namedrops another of his popular songs, "I Feel Fantastic".
* Doug Rattmann's den in the Companion Cube level also contains a rather well-hidden shout out to [[Isaac Asimov]]'s short story "Escape". His dens all have some poems altered to include cubes and the like. [http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Doug_Rattmann#Graffiti_list Here] is a full list of the graffiti drawings.
* You can find a drydock, with a life preserver titled "Borealis" next to it. The ''Borealis'' is where [[Half-Life (series)|Gordon Freeman]] will likely go next in the series.
* Cave Johnson implies that Black Mesa has stolen more than one of his inventions.
Line 30:
* One of P-Body's dances makes her do a spinning dance, before stopping and shooting a Portal straight forwards. This is a reference to the dance the Wizzrobe from [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|LoZ: Majora's Mask]] preforms before attacking Link.
* In the [[YouTube]] promo, Cave Johnson starts off talking about his father, "a Professor of Farming at the local Farm College." Cave Johnson's voice actor, [[J. K. Simmons|JK Simmons]], appears in a series of commercials for Farmers Insurance as a professor at the fictitious "University of Farmers".
* One of the [[The Multiverse|parallel Caves]] mentions [[Soylent Green]].
Line 41:
* And then of course, there is ''[[Smokey and the Bandit]]'' Cave, who has you test on your own while he goes to Texarcana and back in 28 hours.
