Quite simple.
Do you have a favourite Easter egg in a video game which references or teases another franchise, etc?

I've enjoyed spotting a lot of Easter eggs, but one that really stands out for me is from Uncharted 4. I'm referring to the inclusion of Guybrush Threepwood (the protagonist from the Monkey Island franchise) as one of the pirate captains who had founded the pirate colony of Libertalia in Madagascar. While exploring Libertalia, some old portraits can be found with the name 'Guy Wood' (often the name is scratched to obscure his full name to avoid legal issues with Lucas Arts), and his sigil is a red monkey as a homage to the character.
I laughed when I saw what they'd done there. Monkey Island isn't exactly the most serious of takes on pirates, so seeing Naughty Dog had included Guybrush amongst historical pirates in a subtle, deadpan way was quite hilarious.
