I love pop-culture references and I've spotted a monty Python and a possible 'Aliens' so far. But this one on the Citadel just made my day-
Shepard: "Oh, I was just mostly dead."
Princess Bride reference ;D ;D ;D ;D
--
Also - this is probably coincidence, but Garrus just gave me an 'exactly'. "This is exactly why I quit C-Sec." Bless that man. We gave him a clear shot a that bastard, and he gave us his heart.

I've seen references to Pitch Black and Chronicals of Riddik... Oh and Jack (Subject Zero) is Jack from The Chroncials fo Riddik Novel. Seen some references to really old Sci-fi movies to. Like Dark Star and that one I always forget the name of with the naked woman. Plenty of District 13 references as well. They cracked me up.

Later on in the game, Joker makes a reference to The Matrix. Where is this? I've heard most of his dialog, but I don't always get around to speaking with him after every mission. I noticed a lot of Terminator references. Shepard even says "I'll be back." And the Krogan Blood Pack recruiter on Tuchonga says something about Shepard's 'smooth skin' which may be a Fallout 3 reference.

Miranda saying "down you go" - KotOR
Tali saying "go for the optics" - teasing some other game (can't remember which)
Grunt saying "I AM KROGAN!" - teasing "THIS IS SPARTA!"
There's plenty more references... if you can find them.

I remember from a trailer that when this one asari said, "But Shepard, you're dead," Shepard replies, "I got better." I believe that came from the Crank movies. Seems fitting.

Tali saying "go for the optics" - teasing some other game (can't remember which) That's from Baldur's Gate 2. The name of her attack drone is also a BG 2 reference. Chiktikka Fastpaws, I believe.

It's called Chitikka Vas Paws in Mass Effect 2, which made me lol. Not a reference to anything, but Admiral Vas Qwib Qwib says he'd rather serve on the Iktomi. making him Admiral Vas Iktomi.

I think this is more likely a 'Monty Python and Holy Grail' reference. We know Bioware like the movie, I guess, by the scene in Dragon Age: Origins which references it heavily. I could be wrong. That 'Iktomi' thing is terrible!

Yeah, I think you're right. That would make much more sense, but Crank is a movie about a guy being brought back to life to kick ass. So I must remain agnostic.
...BURN THE WITCH ANYWAY!

Conrad Verner makes a reference to looting crates for creds

Acutally Conrad Verner is the embodiment of what the norm the players usually do in RPGs. Talk to people to help out their problems? Check. Looting crates and laptops for creds? Check. In other words, this loser is you.
The game salesman down in the Citadel have a lot of referance to the game industry.
Galaxy of Fantasy = World of Warcraft
"I've don't get the complaints about the Grim Terminus Alliance game. Sure you kidnap and beat slaves to death but it's just a GAME!" = Grand Theft Auto
"I've missed the old days where you have to drink water and travel in 5hrs in real time to get to the next point. Now it's about viseral combat and emotionally engagement." = A take that to the reviewers in regaurds of Mass Effect 2 being dumbed down. Also could be a referance to the Elder Scroll series.
"I hear those sport games are popular with the Alliance... and the Krogan" = EA Sport games
Joker also has some referance as well.
"What! you got to be crazy! Start singing Daisy Bell and I'm done!" = Referance to HAL from Space odessy 2001
"Great, this is all started with the organic batteries, 'This is all Joker's fault! What a tool he was, because he have to spend all day computing pi because he plug into the over lord'..." = The Matrix.
Also Grunt has this
"We'll fight in Shade but no hiding" = 300
There, that's all I can think of atm.

Oh I noticed that "2001" referenece too! It really cracked me up because the whole game, I'd been comparing EDI to HAL and saying similar stuff (and having similar fears to Joker). So to have the game openly admit the similarity like that really made me laugh. Bioware are funny.
Nice list Till! I never noticed the 'Grim Terminus Alliance' but that is wonderful.
