Chuck Norris

Dane Cook

If you listen to the talk radio stations WKTT (We Know The Truth), they reference the Dane Cook album/comedy routine, "Retaliation". Between these references, they mention two things- each from a different track on the Retaliation album. The first happens when Richard Bastion is talking about his view of life. He describes it as a great party, hosted by someone else; where you can run around, leave your beer bottle in the toilet or even "take a dump on the coats if you want". This the fifth track on Retaliation (disc 1), titled "Someone S#!t On The Coats". The second reference comes from the "Courtroom Drama" show, during the fight between the accountant and his ex-wife or ex-girlfriend, where he says she ruined his truck. He went to fight back, and ended up following her to her new boyfriend's house -- and when she was not looking he smashed the windows on her car, urinated in the floor boards, and "took a s#!t in the air filters". This is a reference to the final track on disc 1, where Dane is talking about his mechanic, who told him that "There was a tiny unicorn in your exhaust. It was jumping and poking holes in your exhaust and it was s#!tting in your filters as well".

Iggy Pop

When listening to Liberty Rock Radio, the host, Iggy Pop, will sometimes go on rants. In one of them, he blurts out something about hard it is to get peanut butter off of your chest.

Crude humor

The Brown Note

Near Faustin's house is a reference to a legendary musical note. If you are in the area, proceed to the dead end about a block away towards the water. Hop over the fence on your left while facing the water and a man should be sitting on a bench reading a book titled "The Brown Note". Musician's joke that this is a note that when played causes bowel movements by the person playing it.

Cum Ming

Somewhere in Chinatown on the middle island is a laundrymat. The owner's name is "Cum Ming".

Jizz!

Inside the laundromat, the detergent being used is prominently displayed above the back washing machine is "Jizz!" Big Washing Power", an obvious attempt at crude humor.

Pharte Gas

Go to northern Alderney and walk around the back of the gas station and seafood store at the northwest corner. You can find big gas tanks that are labeled "Pharte Gas".

Bowling alley logo

During the bowling date with Michelle, when you enter the bowling alley notice the neon bowling alley sign. Look closely to see that it resembles male genitalia.

Cop names

Graffiti tag

When exiting of Malorie's place, after the last set of stairs before you leave turn around and look at the sign. It has a graffiti tag that reads "Anal Burns"

Newspaper headline

In the Ray Boccino safehouse on the last island, there is a newspaper on the floor. Zoom in on it with a sniper rifle to see the headline "Aliens ate my prize pussy".

2 Girls 1 Cup

When you are driving around in a vehicle, turn the radio to Integrity 2.0. You will eventually hear the host talking to someone about the Internet and what they like to do on it. He mentions watching viral videos among other things. One of the videos he mentions has "two girls and a cup". This is an obvious reference to the "2 Girls 1 Cup" video.
