10 Incredible Movie Easter Eggs That Went Totally Over Your Head

7. There's An "O. Penderghast" Sign Visible In Friends With Benefits

Friends With Benefits

Don't worry: I do not expect you to have actually sat through the entirety of Friends With Benefits, because I have more respect for you than that, and I've already done the hard graft for the both of us. I've taken the bullet, so speak, in order to bring you this neat little easter egg (no sweat, it's my job).

During the scene where the lovely Mila Kunis is waiting at the airport, you'll see that the name on one of her signs is "O. Penderghast." Who's that, you're wondering? The detective from Psycho? Uh, no. It's the main character from the much better movie Easy A, which was also directed by Friends With Benefits director Will Gluck.

Emma Stone played the character Olive Penderghast in that movie, so here's a nice bit of meta self-reflection from the movie's director, when he was, you know, working from a much better script.
