The creature stirs...
It is written that episodes of the Monster Raging Goblin Cock News Network often have easter eggs hidden it the files that ragers take great delight in finding and viewing. I often wonder what some of these easter eggs may be (seeing as how I have an interest in them, personally). So, here are a few of the things that make me chuckle, and my players cringe:
A closeup of Momo von Satan dressed as a World War One Flying Ace, complete with leather Snoopy helmet, flying through a cloud bank. The footage plays for thirty seconds, and then cuts out.
Momo and the Cock dancing the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_%28dance%29#Israeli_Horah]horah[/url] while traditional music plays in the background.
The Cock dancing the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopak]hopak[/url]. Instead of its usual horned Viking helmet, the Cock wears a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papakhi]papakha[/url].
The camera zooms tight on the pupil of Momo von Satan's right eye, which turns into a still headshot of the news anchor, which repeats the tight zoom recursively. The headshoot shown after the twenty-third zoom is of Momo making a silly face, the forty-second is Momo covering her face as if to block something, and the ninety-fourth results in the camera striking Momo, after which loud and profuse cursing is heard.
Momo von Satan and the Cock dressed in Victorian pyjamas and smoking jackets, passing a pipe back and forth and sipping brandy from snifters while lounging in wingback chairs. Aside from the sound of smoke being drawn through the meerschaum, there is no other sound.
Momo von Satan wearing a dreadlock wig and mid-20th century military field uniform singing [u]Catfish[/u] by Bob Dylan. In the background, the Cock plays the guitar part on a bass guitar. How the Cock is able to carry out this feat is left to the imagination of the storyteller.
A wide angle shot on a featureless white sky. After a few seconds a strange whistling sound can be heard. A tiny black dot appears, which rapidly grows and resolves itself into the soles of Momo von Satan's platform boots. The camera rapidly pans down and back, and we see Momo land with both feet on what passes for the Cock's head (sans helmet); the Cock compresses upon itself, making a sound not unlike an accordian falling down a flight of stairs as it does so. The scene freezes for a moment, and then the Cock springs back to it usual height, flinging Momo von Satan at high speed out of the frame.
The camera is deliberately unfocused upon what might be the MRGCNN news desk. Strange wet slapping and squishing sounds can be clearly heard in the soundtrack. The camera's image slowly goes into focus... revealing Momo furiously polishing the Cock's Viking helmet with a horsehair brush and open tin of wax. The Cock looks a little embarassed, and actually somewhat upset now that you think about it. "There, I got the worst of the scratches out. Please be careful, Cock. You almost hurt yourself," she says as the image goes dark.
...anybody else?

Some Thoughts
Oh goodness! Love that last one. Hrm, let's see...
The Cock lies bundled in blankets on a massive four poster bed, a hot water bottle on its head and a thermometer in its mouth, moaning quietly to itself. Pan over to Momo, who sits at the bedside dressed as an old Earth doctor, complete with stethoscope and headmirror. She consults a sheaf of dead tree charts on a clipboard, shaking her head and looking grim. Finally, she tosses the charts over her shoulder and says, "I'm afraid we're going to have to amputate!" From beneath the bed, she withdraws a gas-powered chainsaw, which she pull starts. The Cock begins to scream, the thermometer falling from the corner of its mouth.
Momo and The Cock reenact the Hayden Planetarium scene from Manhattan with Momo doing Diane Keaton's lines and The Cock spewing an endless stream of vitriolic insults. The entire thing is in black and white.
A direct XP from Momo's perspective. She is seated at a Ouija board, her hands on the pointer. A mysterious force guides it, repeatedly spelling out the viewer's name, Mesh ID and the words, SAD CLOWN BEHIND YOU. The XP loops until the viewer turns around, catching the briefest glimpse of The Cock dressed as a circus clown. Then, it cuts out.

Ramblings
I love you for this thread, Doc. Of course, I also hate you because I'm supposed to be working and instead all I can do is think about crazy Easter Eggs, you bastard.
Here's a few I've cooked up while staring at techpubs at work:
A remake of the infamous video from [i]Ringu[/i], only with The Cock as Sadako, complete with undersized and ill-fitting wig. Due to his size, he has some difficulty working his way out of the well. As the scene progresses, shots of Momo von Satan staring, agape, are interjected, a fly buzzing around her head and eventually crawling over her unblinking eye. As The Cock slowly wriggles his way free of the well at last and begins to move towards the camera, the scene switches back to Momo, still staring as the fly zips into her mouth. She begins hacking violently, shouting "Cut! Cut!!" as the vid abruptly ends.
[hr]A strangely low-resolution outdoor scene of Momo von Satan laughing maniacally at the viewer. She taunts that, at long last, she will have her vengeance, and unleashes her "secret weapon". The Cock springs up from behind her with a loud cry of "FUNGAAAH!", and Momo continues laughing maniacally as a dramatic score plays. The music cuts out as The Cock twitches oddly, much to Momo's confusion. He then sneezes, blotting out the camera. Momo can be heard exclaiming, "Oh god, it's everywhere!" before the vid cuts out. Strangely, this is the only actually spoken dialog; everything else is presented as text overlaid onto the screen.
[hr]A particularly infamous Easter Egg was known for the extreme methodology required to find it. The file containing it had to be edited by several different programs, run through various obscure (and in some cases, outdated) operating systems, decrypted, reencrytped, decrypted again, left to run without user input for several hours, and then finally deleted and re-downloaded. Upon opening the file, instead of a vid, it simply displayed plain text reading:
[font=Courier]Wow, you sure put a lot of effort into finding this! Are you sure this is the most efficient use of your time? Maybe you should do something else now![/font]
The release of the video apparently coincided with an obscure pre-Fall holiday set on April 1st.

Maybe just a little, but it was more a reference to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi_no_Ch%C5%8Dsenj%C5%8D]Takeshi's Challenge[/url] more than anything.
I know, I'm a dork.

An eleven minute long video
An eleven minute long video of Momo von Satan building a tall stack of antique books, of the sort once found on old Earth. She very carefully places a pirate hat folded out of aluminum foil atop the stack and skips out of frame. A feral growling noise can be heard emanating from the stack of books. A small gap between two of the tomes reveals a single golden-orange eye. It makes cartoony piano noises as it blinks.
The Cock and Momo von Satan sit hunched over on either side of a small, square table, upon which a chessboard is set up. The camera zooms in on the chessboard, a game in progress can be seen. It is clear that Momo and the Cock are contemplating their next moves. The camera holds for a long while on the chess pieces. Each piece appears to have been carved out of a cortical stack from a different manufacturer or clade. The Cock pushes one of its knights into a different position on the board. The video clip ends.
A still photograph of Momo and the Cock wearing masks depicting warped, distorted cartoon faces. The masks leer malevolently at the viewer. A subtitle in bold white text appears at the bottom of the image: "...PROBLEM?" Your playback software then crashes.
Momo von Satan, the Cock, and a gangly figure with auburn hair and a wild beard stand behind separate podiums with old style video displays attached to the front of each. In order, the displays read "Momo", "THE COCK!", and "Andy." An older gentleman wearing what appears to be a heavyset Menton morph with greying hair stands to one side, holding a microphone in one hand and a stack of cards or sheets of paper in the other. The MC asks questions-in-the-form-of-answers to the players, who press a button on their podiums and give answers-in-the-form-of-questions. The questions start out innocently but then begin to cover esoteric questions about file formats, public key cryptography, cardiac surgery, and abnormal psychology. If one of the players gives an incorrect question, a loud buzzer sounds and the contestant picks up a large bottle of amber liquor and takes a long pull from the neck. As the game goes on, the contestants begin to get more and more questions wrong... until the MC makes a mistake. The solidly inhebriated contestants freeze for a second and then began to cackle madly. "Drink! Drink you bitch!" they shout in unison, until the MC shrugs and finishes Momo's bottle. The clip ends.
Momo von Satan, dressed from head to toe in synthetic leather clothing and a pair of antique mirrored aviator sunglasses. She sits atop the wreckage of a surgical pod in what appears to be the remains of an lunar industrial habitat, probably ruined during the Fall. Glaring malevolently at the landscape around her, she is a vision of gothic beauty, a post-human road warrior in her demense. She then extracts a kazoo from an inside pocket of her leather jacket and plays [u]Pop Goes the Weasel[/u]. Raucous laughter can be heard off-screen.

Ahahahahahahahahaaaaa! I love
Ahahahahahahahahaaaaa! I love these! An excuse to be sick and twisted! And the best part? There's no meddling kids, so I can get away with it too!
This one opens up with a view of Momo, wearing a Japanese schoolgirl's uniform (long time or obsessive ragers will know that that uniform is the same one she wore in high school), squatting over a model globe of Titan. She then begins to urinate on it. The camera zooms in until we see that she is pissing all over Nyhavn, and the people are being washed away in the ensuing tidal flood. The view pans upwards, only to reveal that the Cock is blocking the view while wearing two giant black bars that say "CENSORED". It then proceeds to rant about how the viewers are perverts in a mixture of German, Swahili, Japanese, and Cherokee in a strong Irish accent.
I'll come up with more later, promise.

Somebody is using bad science! Snark, facts, snark.
Your body is corrupted: Cool, do more science to it.
Your mind is warped: That's nice, want a cookie?
What do we say to the God of Death? Not today!

A few more ideas while
A few more ideas while Christmas dinner digests.
The easter egg consists of a gameplay video of a two player game of [u]Space Invaders[/u]. Player number two seems to be much more skilled, and quickly dominates the high score. Most viewers fast-forward through the rest of the easter egg video because player one does not seem to have a chance - all of the gameplay is player two after player one loses their first life. The very end of the video clip cuts to Momo and the Cock sitting on the floor before an ancient television and Atari 2600 game console. The Cock plays happily (despite having neither hands nor arms) while Momo sits in a snit, occasionally glaring up at the Cock because she has been effectively frozen out of the game.
The paparazzi have caught up with Momo von Satan and the Cock unwinding after a long day at a local pub. The Cock sits at the bar with an untouched mug of coffee sitting on the counter (being a projected hologram makes it difficult to drink anything). Momo von Satan has taken her hairfalls out and sits at a nearby table occasionally sipping from a stein of beer. From the way she waves her hands and fingers in the air, it appears that she's working on a crossword puzzle on the local mesh.
This episode's easter egg appears to be an outtake from the latest episode. The scene appears familiar - you have probably just watched it, after all - but the flow is interrupted by Momo or the Cock suddenly breaking down laughing, the Cock's voice cracking and turning into static, Momo having a sneezing fit, or something similar. After each take, a beep can be heard and the scene resets itself.
The Cock prowls through a dense forest of trees that appear to have been made out of scraps of spacecraft hull and water ice. It is painted from tip to base with alternating bands of camoflage greasepaint and has a number of straps, harnesses, and bandoliers fastened around itself. Mad, wild howls and screeches can be heard coming from the darkness beyond the treeline. Momo von Satan (also dressed in Titanian militia field kit) leaps out of snow banks, swings from trees, and even divebombs into the frame on a hang glider, shouting "BANG! BANG! BANG!" at the same time. The Cock spins, ducks, and leaps in a curiously special ops-like floor exercise routine as if dodging incoming bullets.
The Cock has been converted into a formula one racecar. An absurdly large engine has been bolted to its base and a vehicle chassis was constructed around the rest of the Cock's shaft. Momo von Satan, dressed in a white and blue leather racing uniform and wearing a flowing red scarf sits astride the Cock, just behind its head. The Cock (wearing its trademark viking helmet) makes racecar noises as the unlikely duo zooms around a racecar track.
This episode of the MRGCNN was tampered with some time after it hit the local Mesh. The easter egg in the file has been replaced with the computer-generated spokesimage for Anon, which recites something appropriate to your game in a flat, synthesized voice.

Home sick today. Thank you
Home sick today. Thank you for making me laugh my ass off.
I have decided that the only thing better than people riffing on your work is when they do so _hillariously_. :D
