A collection of Easter Eggs The following are community submitted and not confirmed unless verified by a developer. Please boil and consume at your own risk.

Alien
The inscription on the back of the flux sensor reads "FLUX SENSOR CM-88B 180924609." This references the type (CM 88B Bison) and registration number (180924609) of the USCSS Nostromo, the vessel from the first Alien movie.

American Revolution

 * The Minutemen and their weaponry are references to the real-world colonial group of the same name.
 * John Hancock and his red frock coat are references to the real-world founding father of the same name.
 * The quest The Battle of Bunker Hill is named after one of the opening battles of the American Revolution.

Apocalypse Now
While in combat, Mister Gutsy robots may say "There's nothing I like better than the smell of plasma in the morning!" This is a reference to a line spoken by Robert Duvall's character Lt. Col. William "Bill" Killgore in the movie Apocalypse Now.

The Aviator
Newspapers scattered around the Commonwealth display the headline "Way of the Future!" on them, which is the same line Leonardo DiCaprio's character Howard Hughes repeats over and over at the end of the film The Aviator.

The Bible

 * The Lifegiver perk depicts a Vault-Boy in robes, a beard and a halo, much like common depictions of Jesus.
 * Ahab, a customized robot found alongside Jezebel in the Headhunting quest of the Automatron add-on. This is a reference to Ahab, king of Israel, and his wife Jezebel.

Blade Runner

 * Takahashi, a robot in Diamond City who sells noodles, has only one line which is "Nan-ni shimasho-ka?", which means "What would you like to have?". This is the very same phrase (including imperfect grammar) as said by the noodle seller in the "Noodle Bar" scene of the film Blade Runner.
 * On the southwest corner of the Mass Fusion containment shed rooftop is the body of a man in a random outfit lying supine in front of a kneeling, deactivated synth. The setup alludes to the character Batty in the 'Tears in rain' scene at the end of the film.
 * The SAFE test is an allusion to Voight-Kampff test in Blade Runner, meant to discern whether someone is a human or replicant.
 * Should the Sole Survivor name themself "Deckard", Codsworth will recognize the name "Deckard" and will say it aloud when greeting the player character. This is the name of the protagonist of Blade Runner, "Rick Deckard".
 * The art for the Trophy/Achievement Hunter/Hunted invokes Deckard being stalked by Vault Boy.

Blues Brothers
One of the prisoner files in the BADTFL regional office in Charlestown describes a Jake Redds (Resisting Arrest), with a list of personal effects very similar to, but not identical to the effects of Jake Blues in the 1980 movie.

The Book of Abramelin
The "Abremalin field" imprisoning Lorenzo Cabot refers to historical occult work The Book of Abramelin.

Captain Planet
The mission With Our Powers Combined is a reference to the cartoon Captain Planet. It is said as the Planeteers combine their powers to form Captain Planet.

The Cask of Amontillado
When the Sole Survivor finds General McGann's body in the Castle tunnels, he is lying next to wine crate containing some bottles of Amontillado wine. Opposite him is a skeleton behind a half-built brick wall. These are references to Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado." In addition, if the player character inspects the object in their inventory, the name "Montressor" is on the bottle. Montressor is one of the main characters in "The Cask of Amontillado." The name "P. Edgar" in smaller print on the bottom of the label is another reference to Edgar Allen Poe. Poe was inspired to write the story during his time serving at Fort Independence, also known as the Castle.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The River of Quantum found in the Nuka World World of Refreshment ride references the river of chocolate featured in the children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (and the two films based on it). This reference is reinforced on a terminal entry inside the ride that encourages drinking right out of the river, as the chemical makeup of Quantum kills germs and resists contamination. In the book, a character is scolded for drinking from the chocolate river and potentially contaminating the chocolate.

Cheers
The bar from the 1980s American sitcom Cheers is by the Boston Commons as Prost bar. Inside is riddled with references to the series, which was set in Boston. The word "prost," after which the in-game bar is named, is German for "cheers."

Coca-Cola
One of the new flavors of Nuka-Cola added in the Nuka-World add-on is "Newka-Cola." This is a reference to "New Coke", the unofficial title of a reformulated version of Coca-Cola released in 1985. In response to Pepsi outselling Coca-Cola, the Coca-Cola company changed the flavor of Coca-Cola slightly in an attempt to boost sales. Public backlash soon forced them to revert to the old formula, which ironically resulted in Coca-Cola outselling Pepsi by more than double in the first six months of the reversal.

Comics Code Authority
The "American Comics Code" stamp found on the Unstoppables is a reimagining of the stamp used by the Comics Code Authority. Its stated goal was to inform parents of the content of comics, though critics of the organization claimed that it functioned more as a censorship bureau.

The Crucible
A character named Hawthorne resides inside the Dugout Inn. He warns against encounters with the Institute synths, a friendly vault and how he has "a bad feeling" about exploring the ruins of Salem, found in the northeasternmost portion of the map. This is a reference to John Hathorne from the Salem Witch Trials.

Dark Souls
In the southern areas of Bradberton in the Nuka-World add-on, there is a small house with a Chinese officer sword sticking into a mound of ash in a corner. This mound can be kindled into a fire, upon which stimpaks fall from the air, similar to the bonfires of the Dark Souls series.

Deus Ex: Invisible War
The Sole Survivor may occasionally say "Rip 'em to shreds!" when trying to get a giant Deathclaw to attack for you, which is a reference to a line in the game Deus Ex: Invisible War repeated (quite often) by spectators to the caged greasel matches. Mark Lampert worked on Invisible War, handling all voice recording and editing before moving on to work as the audio director for Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.

Die Hard

 * In Sergeant Dave Mallory's terminal at the BADTFL regional office, Log Entry 10/22/27 mentions an officer named Willison, who is noted as causing property damage. This is a reference to Bruce Willis, who played an NYPD detective named John McClane in the Die Hard franchise. McClane tends to cause a great deal of property destruction when stopping the bad guys. See the Lethal Weapon section for a similar reference in the same terminal.
 * The fifth bottle message, "Difficult to Kill," references a line of dialogue from the 1988 action film Die Hard, which is sarcastically spoken by Bruce Willis' character John McClane.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
In the intro, there is a short scene of a meeting room with a large circular table with a diorama of a mushroom cloud in the center, and a man with his hand gripped tensely on the nuclear hotline.

 * Sweet rolls can be found throughout the game, such as in the East Boston police station on the desk of a detective. This is a play off of the situation given for character creation in Arena and subsequent Elder Scrolls games.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

 * Grognak's axe shape resembles Oblivion's Iron Battleaxe.
 * One of the first Creation Club creations showcased was the Horse Power Armor. This was made as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Horse Armor DLC controversy, which was one of Bethesda's first attempts at microtransactions.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

 * The cover of one Taboo Tattoos magazine has the iron helmet from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The iron helmet is an armor piece from the game that was made famous by being featured heavily in the marketing of the game as being the chosen headgear of the "Dragonborn."
 * Crippling a raider's leg may cause them to groan "Oh fuck me. Bullet in the knee..." The specificity and wording of "the knee" instead of "my knee" makes it similar to the often-repeated Skyrim town guard dialogue and subsequent meme: "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee..."

Fallout 3

 * In the game's prologue, the newscaster on the TV will read a segment on local baseball news, and begins by saying "And now for something unquestionable, inescapably...

 * Fallout 4 features a pre-War motorcycle model called the "Lone Wanderer" (every motorcycle found in the game has "Lone Wanderer" on their side), as well as billboards displaying the name of the motorcycle. There is also a perk called "Lone Wanderer," as well as a hair style option with the name. These are all references to the name of the player character in Fallout 3.
 * Robert MacCready, met at The Third Rail, is the former mayor of Little Lamplight from Fallout 3. If one decides to hire him, he will occasionally say "Tunnel Snakes rule!," a reference to the Tunnel Snakes from Vault 101. He may also make reference to other areas, such as Little Lamplight or Vault 87.
 * In various locations (such as Wicked Shipping Fleet Lockup) there are sets of wooden blocks with the letters "G," "A," "R" and "Y," usually present with one or more other children's toys. This is a reference to the Gary clones that populated Vault 108.
 * The SAFE test used at Covenant is the same as the G.O.A.T., with exception to the overseer question.

The Barfly, a pre-War film with posters present in the game, is a reference to the 1958 film The Fly.

Full Metal Jacket
Sometimes, if one attacks a neutral Mister Gutsy, he will say "What is your major malfunction, maggot?", which is a reference to the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket, where the ruthless drill sergeant, Hartman, reprimands Private Pyle, saying "What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?"

The star of the motion picture Invaders from Beyond Our Galaxy, Blast Hannigan, is a reference to the Futurama character Zapp Brannigan.

Galaxy Quest
In the Nuka-World add-on within the Safari Adventure Welcome Center, Dr. Hein's terminal references Galaxy Quest in Journal Entry 06-02-2077, with polar bears coming out of the Nuka-Gen Replicator "inside out and then exploding." This is in reference to the fate of the alien transported using the digital conveyor as a test in the movie.

Ghostbusters
If in the Boston Public Library, Robert MacCready may say "Let's be careful. No human being would possibly pile books this way". This is in reference with Peter Venkman's line "You're right. No human being would stack books like this." in the movie's library scene.

Good Will Hunting
In the C.I.T. ruins behind the western entrance there is a chalkboard with a skeleton next to it. On the chalkboard are two "homeomorphic irreducible trees of degree 10." This is a reference to the scene in which Will Hunting is trying to solve the problem on the chalkboard in the hallway.

 * The Children of Atom also refer to radiation as the glow on occasion. This references H.P Lovecraft's personal favorites of his work; The Color Out of Space. In this story a farm is inhabited by a color (out of space) referred to as the glow which mutates the body and destroys the brain much like radiation.
 * The Cabot House quest line has numerous references to Lovecraft. For one, the city in the Rub' al-Khali is a reference to The Nameless City. Furthermore, the SS Wakeful in Lorenzo Cabot's journal is a reference to the SS Alert from The Call of Cthulhu. Also, Lorenzo's journal entries generally mirror several different Lovecraft stories, such as The Rats in the Walls, The Moon Bog and the aforementioned Call of Cthulhu.

 * It may also be a reference to the famous band, who also took their name from the device.

Jaws

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Arlen Glass' office, in the Wilson Atomatoys corporate HQ, contains two terminals which hold references to the television show. Three consecutive logs make nods to three episodes: "The Last Roundup," "Too Many Pinkie Pies" and "Lesson Zero."

A second terminal mentions Arlen's surprise at a lack of interest in the line of toys in comparison to how it used to be, wondering if he should instead start creating a boy-centric line of collectible, limited edition variants. This could be referencing the primarily male fanbase that cropped up over the show, and the subsequent increase of collectible's licensed to others by Hasbro, whose main reason for rebooting the show, was to sell toys.

Another entry mentions Arlen's ideas, some of which include different color coats and identifying marks to distinguish between multiple types, as well as a line of pegasi and unicorn variants. Also mentioned is the possibility of crystal-coated variants, which could be in reference to the crystal ponies of the show, and their real-world toy counterparts.

Having trouble finding the Wizard? Personally, I would have figured you for the Scarecrow." This line is a reference to three characters from The Wizard of Oz.

Xanadu
In the General Atomics factory in the baby's room, wood blocks can be found saying "Xanadu." The name Xanadu was popularized by the poem "Kubla Khan." In this case, the name may be a reference to the name of Charles Foster Kane's mansion in the 1941 film Citizen Kane.

Yogi Bear
Rocky Narrows Park features a yao guai at a picnic, with a sign reading "don't feed the bears!" nearby. The in-game sign is similar to the real-world "don't feed the bears!" sign, featuring the character Yogi Bear. The two signs have exactly the same message written on them, as well.
