History ShoutOut / RuneScape

* The fights in the Domination Tower seemed to pay tribute to ''MortalKombat''. There's even a special fight named "FinishHim!"

* There's a few dozen MontyPython references, although not usually in the form of a character. The best-known example comes whenever you try to [[WithThisHerring use a herring to chop down a tree]].

* In the "Wolf Whistle" quest, your character, asked to kill a Wolpertinger, responds "One rabbit stew coming up!" in a reference to the ''MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' killer rabbit scene. The Wolpertinger familiar's examine text is "It's just a harmless wee rabbit."

* Estocada, the BadassSpaniard who gives out duellist's caps at the Duel Arena, has dialogue based on TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld, including such lines as "I don't often replace hats, but when I do, I choose to replace duellist's caps." and "Stay victorious, my friend." As a bonus, his examine text quotes a line of Inigo Montoya's dialogue from ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.

* If you perform poorly in the Great Orb Project minigame, one of the wizards will comment that "[[{{Portal}} This was a disaster! I'm making a note here: HUGE FAILURE.]]" Additionally, the examine text for the portal that transports you between Runecrafting altars is "Look at you, examining things when there's Runecrafting to do." And in the "Meeting History" quest, the examine text for a portal is "There is cake in here, apparently."

* Rock Lobsters are monsters that can be found in the Waterbirth Dungeon. Their examine text is a line from the Music/{{B52s}} song "Rock Lobster."

** Also, there are two children, [[Series/DoctorWho Amelia and Rory]], in Morytania who idolize the hero of the [[TheResistance Myreque]]. They're convinced he wears a [[BowtiesAreCool bowtie]], so you can't convince them you're that hero.

* Speaking of "A Clockwork Syringe", the final part of that quest is essentially a big shout-out to ''{{BioShock}}''. You have to infiltrate a facility disguised as what's essentially a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Pirate Zombie Big Daddy]], and just in case we didn't get it, the examine text for one of the enemies reads; "Would you kindly kill these slicers"?

* EdgarAllenPoe's poem "A Cask of Amontadillo" is about a wine connoisseur named Fortunato. The wine salesman in Draynor Village is named Fortunato; his examine text is "He looks as if he could do with a sip of Amontillado."
