Cause you want to blow stuff up, why else?

[@priestcow.]

oh yeah I like to "blow" something

[@teaganfrey4142]

Thank u so much for adding the breaking bad Easter egg😊❤

[@SnakeyesYT]

Can you start posting videos of you like actually playing the games? It be REALLY cool to see you play a bunch of these random games, and I’m not demanding I just think it’d be cool. Also you’d probably get a ton of views with those as well, AND you have like a bazillion games so you’d have infinite content. 😃

[@sporepc14]

Return to Grace, the three sea shells, go find.

[@Why_It]

That Jerma Easter egg is amazing.

[@muk2626]

And I hope it's an unlockable option to use on any level after you get it

[@NatSpectrum]

@@muk2626 It is! There are filters hidden on every level you can collect and switch between when using the camera. Once you find a filter, it's useable on any level.

[@adamnielson42]

Jerma and Matpat in the thumbnail is WILD

[@mikeyb.0121]

Been binging Jerma content for the past couple of weeks, seeing him in this thumbnail I thought I was hallucinating 😂

[@MewTwo7490]

noticed t5g has a few videos that are exact copies of your videos, wanted to put it out there, down to even some things you say

[@CaptainEggcellent]

Yeah there’s not much I can do. They are a bigger channel and get way more views so it’s kind of like David vs Goliath lol. Oh, and they also have the most clickbaiting thumbnails of all time.

[@FazeRings]

@nEggcellentthey do, also i hate when people just rip off other people content and i wish yt can be more serious of people stealing content. Your the goat of easter eggs of video games and are the only channel i watch of them XD (besides oddheader)

[@MewTwo7490]

@@CaptainEggcellent that’s fair my man, thanks for what you do! the work you do will never be topped, much love

[@karlo.with.a.k281]

I was looking for another easter egg channel and got them recommended for me. Subbed to them. Then later realized they just took stuff from you. Also, I'm tired of clickbaits and that pitch pattern of their narration. Unsubbed from them after some time.

[@Lego_hq_21]

Top 5 gaming is notorious (at least for me) for clickbait

[@woodamck]

Those neversoft sound effects hit me right in the childhood

[@jesterthegreat1419]

I dont watch many easter egg channels but I always come back to this one, it's so nice not having the "WOW!! HOW CRAZY!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??" In your ears all the time

[@dylanchilders]

The Jerma easter egg has to be the best ee on this channel yet 😂

[@isaaccollins4533]

In the underrated Lego Lord of the Rings, the open cutscene changes depending on which movie of the three lord of the ring movies you are currently playing.

[@shadowdarkness8952]

5:44 I miss those guys make good games 😢

[@marilolisabreu4408]

In 8:12 there is another easter egg , in one of the houses there is a pig peearing , in reference to "the three little pigs"

[@KnightsofGaming2016]

9:12 this just reminds me how close we are to March which is when MatPat will truly retire. I'm going to miss him but I'm also happy that he's doing it to spend more time with his family.

[@swag4jag559]

You know, Matpat isn’t the only KZbinr reference in Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, you can also find a reference to music KZbinr CG5, who wrote a song for the game. How nice 😊

[@Lego_hq_21]

Jackcepicye also appears in poppys playtime (i think in chapter 2 i forgot)

[@swag4jag559]

@@Lego_hq_21 that’s true, and a cutout says Markipliers birthday

[@Lego_hq_21]

@@swag4jag559 i mean that could be a coincidence

[@rustythomas6982]

oh yeah its in the hub area right?

[@Kyo_Sasaki]

​@@Lego_hq_21 The devs confirmed that was intentional.

[@Naviglio]

The clap and a half thing he says alot more than just one in all these years, but still a great detail. Pretty funny that out of all things that was the one thing mat missed

[@frankwest018]

3:01 That's Bob from Smg4

[@Dremag_Gaming]

It's something to see them add that for MatPat. Also took him "forever" to find as he, somehow, skipped it. (Which is something since he tends to look at nearly everything thing😂)

[@axlmagnus]

Funny enough, he does that a lot. In actual live streams, he used to take at minimum 5 minutes to notice something that the chat was yelling at him about.

[@Zeigler_]

In case people and @Captain Eggcellent didn't know but Neversoft were going to be making a Call of Duty during the Ghosts/Futureistic era of CoD called NX1 and I advise you to look into it as its has such intresting protental and sad that it never came though even more so that they were quite far into production before being shutdown.

[@abbysinise8152]

In house flipper 2 there's a portal reference I just found! In the forest cabin house you can buy if you go to the basement and break a certain wall you'll find it. It may be an overused Easter egg but it's used well.

[@mitriroy]

I think 2:59 is also a reference to the aliens from toy story. The dialogue is similar and they also get "taken away" to above. Only thing against it is that there is no crane

[@michaelmanherz7918]

Don’t know if you’ve already mentioned these, but in 2022’s “The Quarry” there are a done of Easter Eggs referencing renowned names in the horror film industry. Two examples I noticed were the brands “Savini’s Beer” and “McTiernan’s Shotgun Shells”. For reference, Tom Savini is a makeup effects artist who designed Jason Voorhees and did a ton of other stuff and John McTiernan was the man who directed the 1987 film “Predator”.

[@rustythomas6982]

oh my gosh this is the first time an easter egg I suggested was featured on this channel. (the clap and a half one). I'm just so happy.

[@jayster4039]

The dragon in kingdom rush is also Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon

[@aftpenguin]

Not gonna lie that never soft Easter egg is one hell of a way to go out

[@galaxygamer247]

That neversoft detail was so cool, and I had no idea that the company was no more, sad to see. Backrooms looks like the next runner up for over used easter eggs

[@juanletsplay1550]

10:14 That's also a reference to the Simpsons, because in a treehouse of horror segment, Homer walks behind his bookshelf and ends up in a 3D world

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

It’s not. It’s a reference to the back rooms which has nothing do with that episode which was parodying a twilight zone episode

[@Gamingjedi206]

It still amazes me that you don’t even have a million subscribers when you put out such high quality videos

[@PhilieBlunt666]

I was gonna say all together that really sounds like when you get all the COMBO letters 😁

[@NE-BO]

I noticed an easter egg in Enshrouded. The hunter makes a Terminator reference.

[@The-S-H3lf-Eater]

This video made me find one of my childhood games i was looking for. Thank you for featuring the Clone Drone In The Danger Zone easter egg.

[@Kashi-K]

@11:05 pretty sure its also a reference to a HLA mod made for Vinny that had the same exact thing

[@MartsVODs]

Missed a beautiful opertunity of showing off an easteregg in the war thunder advertisement. That game has tons.

[@MichaelStrugnell]

I'm not sure if you've already covered it before, but in the game "Return to Grace", there's a reference to "Demolition Man" where a lavatory space has the 3 sea shells

[@CaptainEggcellent]

Yep, recorded it haha

[@adrianblackwell29]

Just going to assume Zapp Brannigan is wanted for war crimes, that he's completely unaware were war crimes.

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

What do you think fry is wanted for?

[@Tukaro]

1:55 lmao I've found that while playing and wondered if it was supposed to be a reference to something, good to have the backstory.

[@isaacanguiano8267]

8:28 the 3 little pigs' houses.

[@kaitlando636]

True

[@T3CH-SUPP0RT]

I still think the kid in Poppy Playtime Ch. 3 that you talk to named Ollie is named after MatPat's son

[@undefinedscott]

Blood & Bacon - Not sure if you've mentioned it before, but I'm pretty sure the farmer being pitch-forked to the wall is a nod to Jeepers Creepers 2

[@EpicPummelYT]

Not sure if this is an Easter egg, but whatever. In My Singing Monsters, there is a monster called Nitebear, which has multiple references to FNaF in it's bio and the way it looks might be a reference as well.

[@america2793]

2:54 those are from A other game made from the devs

[@Bode2342]

I'll keep this simple. Captain wants 900k subscribers. Give this man a million, he deserves it.

[@ScrubMyTub]

The Jerma one had me dying hahahah that's too good

[@MMMMonke]

0:06 literally just finished futurama, excited for season 12

[@swag4jag559]

The dragon at 7:42 looks awfully lot like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon

[@JTweedieedits]

Fun fact: one of the commentators voice from clone drone in the danger zone was used for Bob in smg4

[@madetofallinlove]

note for the jerma film easter egg, the egg is referencing the discontinuation of Fujifilm pro 400h in 2023! a film stock that is hard to find in 35mm

[@cryptodweller2419]

The sound you hear in the neversoft Easter egg is the sound you hear when you collect a letter from the S.K.A.T.E mission on every level

[@xGarbett]

Another amazing video as always

[@Smelvin76]

In AC Valhalla, you can find a fight club easter egg south of Wenloch Abbey in Ledecestrescire. You walk into a basement with many people fighting, and you fight Edward of Lincoln. This is a reference to Edward Norton.

[@SneakBlade616]

Easter Egg suggestion: In the game "The Sinking City", if one explores the downstairs (basement) of the "Asylum" on the East-Coast/Eastern side of the map - Eastern Coverside, on "Seaside St" specifically, they can find a collectible item inside a locker that can then be found in the "LORE" tab of the menu. The collectible is an "Indecent Poster" with the following description - referencing older Metal Gear Solid games, and Snake directly: "Someone had an indecent poster in the locker. Reminds of old Snake's shenanigans. Damn, I miss the guy." The grammar mistake "Reminds of" is accurate to the description, but the reference is clearly toward Snake being able to hide in lockers that had a pin-up model poster on the doors.

[@shadowviper270]

It's getting to the point where you might need to start adding The Backrooms to your overused video game Easter egg of the week segment. They're everywhere these days it feels like

[@D_YellowMadness]

Even the fact that he's a farmer missing a leg & just casually dying reminds me of Twenty One Pilots. Specifically, the House of Gold video. Is there a dead guy next to a truck in that game by any chance?

[@LoneHermit]

Having a Jerma filter to every photo would be amazing

[@Jonnyb3]

Holy you actually used the Easter egg from your post I totally called it was gonna be the over used Easter egg of the week lol

[@LLIMIT]

Stash house also has at least 10 glass ducks around the map. I’m curious that there’s more I’m missing. Made a short of it.

[@Mr.Shmeat]

You know a game is good when there's a Jerma reference.

[@TheTrueMidknight]

in MK1, the code johnny cage gives you to enter his mansion is the "blood code" from the original mortal kombat.

[@Gamer3427]

I feel like at this point, the Backrooms stuff could qualify as an "overused video game easter egg of the week". Seems like it pops up a lot. I don't know if you covered it and I just don't remember, (or if I missed watching that episode), but for example, Remnant 2 had a Backrooms easter egg, that was the way to unlock the final base game class, and was deliberately so obscure to execute that they intended for data miners to be the ones to find it.

[@StevenHallOfGaming]

thanks for giving reason for why the car is in the tree in fortnite i came across that a few days ago and though someone got it stuck

[@Grung2077]

I think the back rooms as Easter eggs need to start showing up in the over used Easter egg of the week

[@Billcipher_fan5]

Cod ghosts is my favorite cod because of the extinction mode alone i love running around blasting aliens its a proper challenge and its not pointless like alot of the endless waves of zombies in other cods i might have to grab it up again

[@SheepManisback]

I thought i would never see a backrooms Easter egg in forever! 😅

[@kenzihanma]

There's also a neversoft logo reference in mw3. A charm in the augment human bundle

[@tonci702]

I honestly think the bacrooms should be one of OVERUSED VIDEOGAME EASTEREGGS OF THE WEEK like they are everywhere

[@cyberra0180]

In Ark: Survival Evolved/Survival Ascended, there is a giant fish called Leedsicthys. Its alpha form appears as a giant white fish. If you kill it, it will drop a captain's hat skin with the flavor text "Found deep within the belly of a great white beast, this hat is all that remains of the last brave soul that tried to slay the creature." This is reference to Moby Dick, in which Captain Ahab is killed by the white whale

[@gorilli09]

7:41 Kinda looks like Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon

[@WarDNA27]

From the blood and bacon entries, they seem to have an order as the one in this video goes before the one on the previus mention of the game easter egg

[@JorbyIsBad]

its funny listening to british people say "clarn drarn in the danga zarn"

[@well8250]

im dumb and said this in that reply chain but ill say it here too, detail in turnip boy robs a bank in the final zone (right side of bank) you can see the ghost of the neice of the boss of that area and who you also killed in the previous game, you can find two, one where shes normal, and one infected by the bombs radiation, when approached they will phase through the wall and leave

[@awkwardsilence4427]

0:00 Shouldn’t Fry’s picture on a missing person’s poster instead of a wanted poster?

[@KimberSpores]

I just found this guy yesterday and I love his videos

[@ArsGoetia_72]

All roads lead to the backrooms, you just haven't gotten there yet.

[@spade9164]

10:22 I remember SMII7y accidentally found this on his playthrough.

[@chrismennega3042]

In heldivers 2 during the training when you have to crawl under the gunfire if you die a few times you get some dialogue.i was high and kept holding shoft

[@infinityquartz4744]

At this point, the backrooms should be included in the Overused Video Game easter eggs of the week

[@boeboe1297]

Hey ik you might not see this comment but theres a new free to play game that just came out called hawked with a cool easter egg / hidden details I've found. For the easter egg, in the lobby there is a disco floor. If you and 3 other players dance on it more and more things happen although i wont spoil here as you are captain eggcellent ;). The little hidden detail can be found in the lobby as well, there is a pirate looking guy (cant remember his name) but behind him are masks on the wall, if u shoot them they play little notes and different sounds. Sorry ik that's a lot, thank you and have a great day!
