Ghostbusters Reboot: 29 Easter Eggs, References & In-Jokes

3. Baba Booey!

Ghostbusters Easter Eggs
Columbia Pictures

Right at the end of the movie when the Ghostbusters have done their thing, the ghostly activity that the mayor's office continues to denounce as a hoax are discussed on a televised news report.

Strangely, the report is interrupted when a random guy in the background shouts "baba booey" and runs off (calling back to an infamous episode of The Howard Stern Show).

The reference is a strange homage to the moment in the first Ghostbusters movie when a televised news report was photobombed by a random New Yorker who stood creepily in the background.
