Don't forget that Tali named her drone 'Chiktikka vas Paws' and one quote is 'Nothing's faster than Chiktikka vas Paws!"  Although... I am not completely sure the name is actually Chiktikka, but something very similar.  She says it very fast and then there's the accent....

Tali tells her drone to "Go for the optics!", which is an Easter Egg to this (fast forward to 30 seconds).

I couldn't go through all 24 pages,sorry if it has been brought up again.

In my latest playthrough I noticed that Shep's and Samara's conversation about Morinth's abilities is the same as that Twilight scene where sparkling Vampire is doing his "My voice is bla bla bla,my body is more bla bla,my smell is even MORE bla bla.......the perfect predator"

Samara's dialog is almost an exact copy of this until the "Perfect Predator" part which is Shepard's to pick from a dialog wheel.

Dunno why they would want that in their game,Morinth = female Edward Cullen?

The vending machine says funny stuff. When I tried to pull up a list of the sayings, I learned this:

"Tupari! Brings your ancestors back from the grave! a reference to a Pepsi slogan supposedly mistranslated from "Come alive with Pepsi!" to "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the dead!" in Taiwan and China."

Here's one that got me chuckling - and I almost always miss these easter-egg things. Good thing it was an ME1 reference...

In the "Shadow Broker DLC", Shepard and Liara are trying to break into the Shadow Broker's base. Liara has to put a 'shunt device' on the door to bypass the security, which takes some time to successfully activate.

Said during the obligatory "waiting for the door to open" battle:

Shepard: You remember the good 'ol days when you could just use Omni-Gel?'
Liara: (forgot this line, but it amounts to 'Yeah, people were really mad when they fixed that security mechanism!')

...Oh! And also, earlier in the mission when you chase after the rogue Spectre with the taxi - It's extremely similar to a scene in Star Wars, when Anakin and Obi-Wan chase after the sniper through the 'streets' of Coruscant.

(May also be a loose reference from 'The Fifth Element' in there - "Does this thing have any weapons?" "It's a taxi, it has a fare meter...!")

When EDI suggests giving her control of the ship to escape the Collectors, Joker tells her "If you start singing 'Daisy Bell' I'm done!" This is a reference to the last moments of the homicidal HAL computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey, itself a reference to the first song ever performed by a computer running speech synthesis software. In the same event, while Joker gives control of the Normandy to EDI, he grumbles about how this will lead to everyone becoming "human batteries" because he "plugged in the Overlord", a reference to The Matrix.

Probing Uranus was a good one

[RoZh2400]

Literally 1% of the people on this thread understand the difference between "Easter Egg" and "reference".

"probing uranus" and the pillar of autumn are EASTER EGGS.

Characters saying similar lines to Babylon 5, or "go for the optics (eyes)" is a REFERENCE.

I thought it was funny when Mordin talked about Kirahee (spelling) from Virmire and said "He loved his speaches, HOLD THE LINE"

This particular line is absolutely hilarious! I also found it interesting because despite Mordin's critisism of Kirahee speeches I've caught him saying "Hold the line" several times when he was in my squad. In other words, Mordin is amazing.

the only reason why i Paragon on Salarians in general is of because of my liking of Mordin, liking in a general way to be specific, nothing more....and also.

Hold the Line *points  finger in the air*

I'm surprised this slipped through the cracks of sci-fi nerdom we got here, but I just remembered that the Lazarus Project is most likely a reference to Doctor Who.

I doubt it. More likely it's a biblical reference to Lazurus of Bethany.

There was also a Lazarus Project in Babylon 5. It was a secret Psi Corps project to revive a dead Free Mars rebel with cyberntic implants and telepathic deep-scans to turn him into a sleeper agent.

It seems that any SF secret project to revive dead people is called the Lazarus Project. Not so much a reference as lack of imagination?

None the less, Lazarus is an incorrect misnomer. The only similarity between Shep and Lazarus is that they both rose from the dead. Shep, however, was not a murdering, thieving, evil-doer who 'saw the light' and was granted redemption via ressurection. Whether your Shep was good or bad at the end of ME1, redemption - which was the whole point of the Lazarus fable, is not part of Shep's continuing story. A much more apt reference would have been made if the name had been 'Phoenix Project'.  On the other hand, although it's weak and flimzy, 'Lazarus' does fit quite well with BW's conserted effort to reinforce ME2's Christian sub-theme.
Aside from all that, Easter Eggs are not peices of clever dialogue or bits of the story setting "that I just noticed". They are entertaining portions of the plot that are minor, often insignificant, and always hidden. Easter Egg = hidden. Get it? In which case, the only semi- 'Egg' found in the ME saga so far is the decryption of the binary code generated by the Lunar VI upon it's termination. It's a shame there aren't more.

And here I was looking at Lazerus as a reference to Frank Herbert, with his book The Lazerus Effect, in which there is a planet in his universe with unparallel healing and regeneration abilities.

I noticed that too! Me being the theatre lover that I am, I took 24601 as a reference to Jean ValJean, the hero of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, serving in prison for 19 years after stealing a loaf of bread.

While I'm not sure if this counts as an easter egg, n the Overlord DLC, if you take the Hammerhead and shoot the roaming Space Cows, the AI will comment with things such as, "Humanity: 1. Local Wildlife: 0", or "The Galactic Humane Society reminds you that animals are people too."
