I smiled when I saw the level 35 blm job quest "You'll never go back"

 
			
			
				
Though I think there are too many obvious references and it tends to make my cringe a little, I had to giggle at this one:

				All this talk .. and nothing about Achievement names?
To Crush Your Enemies (various levels) - Conan reference
Dungeon Siege (various levels) - reference to the game series of the same name
practically all of the Battle->Trials achievements are referencing one thing or another
That's just to name a few. My personal favorite is :
Living In A Materia World (Madonna reference).
There are a ton more there.
I certainly get some of these references, but I'm the kind of player who actually cringes rather than smile at the very moment I realize it's a pun.
Still, Clever Girls and a couple others made me chuckle once.
Once.
Theres a DOL leve called dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons fire. It made me happy to see it, but no one else got the reference in my friends.

 
			
			
				I still love the blm achievements titled "Bring out your dead". Made me laugh waaaay too hard the first time I got it XD



 
			
			
				A couple of my favorites so far:
- Matoya's broom that loves bridges talks about "big bridges, little bridges, bridges made of rocks..wide bridges, narrow bridges, even bridges with pigeon flocks" (something like that) in reference to an OLD Armour Hot Dogs commercial jingle talking about kids loving hot dogs "big kids, little kids, kids that climb on rocks...fat kids, skinny kids, even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs")
- There's a quest in Thanalan where they say something like "beasts to the left of me, monsters to the right, and here I am, stuck in the middle with Master Lou" which is referencing an old Bob Dylan song that says "clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, and here I am stuck in the middle with you."

				Obscure reference to an obscure reference. It was also the #1 "mini-tune" in Demolition Man.
