Line 286:
* Most of the DVDs from the [[ADV Films]] release of ''[[Noir]]'' contain Easter Eggs, including four [[Fan Vid|anime music videos]] on disk 7, and a live-action mini-film featuring sock puppet versions of the main characters on disk 6 (called "Noir: The Unsoled Story").
* The English subtitled version of ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' has Easter eggs in the subtitle text. Lum's mother only speaks an untranslated alien language. The subtitle, to show that even in the original language the dialog is unintelligible, is written in the "Symbol" font (The Greek letter font). By matching the characters to a regular font yields hidden messages. One message was "the star wars parody was pretty cool", which is not what she would be saying, but instead referred to an earlier bit in that episode.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' actually uses them as a plot point; in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S3S29/E10 Blink|Blink]]", the Doctor hides a message for the future in Easter Eggs in 17 unrelated [[DVD]]s. Appropriately, the message became a real-life Easter Egg on the Series 3 boxset.
** On a side note, it is worth noting that DVDs of classic ''Doctor Who'' stories are stocked with Easter Eggs whereas the only Egg on releases of the new series so far is the "Blink" message. Hmmm...
** The Blink speech wasn't the only one. The series 1 and 2 DVD set have the "Do you want to come with me?" promotion as an Easter Egg.
Line 405:
* ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' is well known for including Easter Eggs in cartoons on the site. In an inversion of this fact, Macromedia Central has an exclusive ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' toon hidden inside.
* The [[Web Comic]] ''[[Narbonic]]'' has an entirely separate text story, written in two-word segments, hidden in the filenames of each strip (of all places). The story continues into the [[Directors Cut]] version.
* Referenced in [http://www.cinemabums.com/?p=307 this] ''[[Cinema Bums]]'' strip, released on Easter Monday. The comic's title also serves as a reference to [[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S3S29/E10 Blink|another story]] where Easter Eggs play an important role.
* The webcomic ''[http://www.bitmapworld.com/ Bitmap World]'' has a number of Easter Eggs hidden around the site, which can be discovered by searching for images of one of the characters, Mike.
* Google [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|"Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything"]]. Just do it.
