BEDEVERE: What makes you think she is a witch?
VILLAGER #1: Well, she turned me into a newt.
BEDEVERE: A newt?
VILLAGER #1: I got better.
VILLAGER #2: Burn her anyway!

The Darkmoon Rabbit is a direct reference to the Rabbit of Caerbannog, a not-so-harmless little bunny that guards the Legendary Black Beast of Arrrghhh.

Also in the Darkmoon Faire, one of the foods sold there, Crunchy Frog, is a direct reference to the Crunchy Frog skit. If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?

In Elwynn Forest, Terry Palin is a lumberjack that sings, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm OK. I sleep all night and I work all day.. This is yet another reference, this time to The Lumberjack song! The song was originally performed by Michael Palin, while the NPC's first name can come from Terry Jones or Terry Gilliam, two other members of Monty Python.

In Stormheim, Derek Testerman and Harrison McCabe discuss the possibility of using gryphons to carry cannons to Greywatch, a reference to the Unladen Swallow skit (reference starts at 1:20):

Comment by TtotemIt's a pain in the ass to get the associated achievement, but it is possible. It also seems to be somewhat bugged, as I got mine after I had just lost one of the 4 buffs.

If your server does not have any or very few brews up, just join a group on a different realm, but be sure to leave before you start or you'll start randomly losing the buffs.Comment by tanzineMonthy Python and wow - great.Comment by JolietJerryThanks for posting this! I knew about the Darkmoon Rabbit but not all of the other Python references :)Comment by TeiganOn the subject of lumberjacks under other references, you forgot to mention the world quest "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm Ok", which I will go out of my way to do even if there is no reason to do it.Comment by HeloreThere are a few more references:
Anvil-Thane Thurgaden - Similar to Thurgadin (Home of the Coldain Dwarfs in Everquest - Scars of Velious expansion)
Hot Pursuit (Quest) - Reference to Avatar: The Last Airbender (NPC has a cart full of cabbages and yells "My cabbages!")

Also I forget where, when you defeat an NPC (I just cant seem to find his name) he says "I will go down..with this ship" - Obviously a reference to the song by Dido - White FlagComment by knowbrainer23Also I forget where, when you defeat an NPC (I just cant seem to find his name) he says "I will go down..with this ship" - Obviously a reference to the song by Dido - White FlagComment by SyndroHey thanks for making this a post. Glad you found more info on it as well!Comment by HeloreAlso I forget where, when you defeat an NPC (I just cant seem to find his name) he says "I will go down..with this ship" - Obviously a reference to the song by Dido - White FlagComment by DogmeatmanWesley Rockhold's "angry" response is also from Monty Python and the Holy Grail :)Comment by axeurolMaybe, just maybe, if you don't have any news to post - you shouldn't post anything at all.Comment by Marvid385There's also NPC's in Drustvar saying "If she's made of wood, can we burn her?" which is also a reference.Comment by 1497468Maybe, just maybe, if you don't have any news to post - you shouldn't post anything at all.Comment by ShirubiaReally can't believe you just notices a whole month after!

Also, you should all consolidate a SINGLE post with references, no need to create a new article about every single referenceComment by perculiaReally can't believe you just notices a whole month after!

Also, you should all consolidate a SINGLE post with references, no need to create a new article about every single referenceComment by EmmiaI also saw in Drustvar a statue with a sign that said something like "Here lies Lady Thrace, may she hear nothing but the rain" - a reference to Battlestar Galactica and Kara Thrace/Starbuck and her signature reply to Adama's question, "What do you hear Starbuck?" "Nothing but the rain, Sir"Comment by GrumarEven WoW couldn't make Monty Python entertaining let alone funny.Comment by jlrm365Wiley <Stubbornus Adversarius>

Clearly that's not Python, but I was most pleasantly surprised to see him running around.
If you've not mentioned him in a previous article (I may have missed it), some Looney references might be form a good base for your next.
