Neat shit to notice

Ever notice something in a game, movie or TV show that was fiendishly clever, but you feel like you are the only one who noticed it?

I have tons.

In the new Dawn of the Dead, When we meet Glen, we are told he "isnt a preist, he just plays the organ." Later, we find out Glen is gay. Tell me that wasnt an on-purpose in-joke.:)

In 28 Days Later, the environmentalists break into the lab to free the Chimps from their "torture". One of them kills the first escaped chimp with bolt cutters while trying to save the woman being attacked by it. Irony at it's best :D

In an episode of the Simpsons called "Brother from another planet" (my personal favorite episode EVER), Bart tries to psychicly tell Homer "Pick up Bart", homer having forgotten to pick himup after a soccer game. Milhouse begins saying "Trab pu kcip. Trab pu Kcip!" and wites it on the wall in lipstick. We see in the mirror it is "Pick Up Bart" backwards, and obvious reference to "redrum" in the Shining.

In a level called "Going Postal" in the Duke Nukem PLutonium pack, there is a locker room. on the wall, directly across froma mirror, is the phrase "Trab pu kcip." I think there is nothing more brilliant than a hidden reference to a hidden reference :D

There is also a later level set in a fast food restauraunt. If you go to the drive through radio and hit the use button, you hear Butthead say "Ummm.. We're like, closed, or something"

Anyone else know any good ones? i will have PLENTY more to come.
