33 Sneaky Easter Eggs Hidden So Long in Your Favorite TV Shows and Movies They Could Have Rotted By Now

Last year was the last year we used real eggs for our office Easter egg hunt. Not just because of the staggering egg prices, but the rotten smell of the one that eluded us really filled up the place.

The smelly eggs hidden in some of our favorite movies and TV shows didn’t offend us in the slightest, though. Sure, they made our eyes water, but they led our noses right to them! Next time we can probably just close our eyes and still find them. 

Here, try it yourself.

Space Jam

EASTER EGGSTRA SPACE The Dover Boys CBM cameo. P The cartoon characters from Merrie Melodies created by Warner Bros. in 1942 can be seen in the stands. The cartoon was produced by Leon Schlensinger and directed by Chuck Jones, and the cameo spawned a cheeky (but small) petition to get more Dover Boys added to a Space Jam sequel. CRACKED.COM

Mother

EASTER EGGSTRA Mother Casting Kim Hye-ja as the main character was a cheeky reference to Korean media. The actress has played numerous motherly characters in Korean TV dramas before, and she's literally been called South Korea's national mother. Bong wanted to cast her (and only her) to take that national image and subvert it to challenge people's ideas about motherhood. CRACKED.COM
