8 Most Spiteful Video Game Easter Eggs Ever

7. Josef Fares REALLY Hates The Oscars (It Takes Two)

It Takes Two
EA

During the 2017 Game Awards, the internet fell in love with developer Josef Fares.

While on stage with host Geoff Keighley, Fares went on a rant that has since become known as his "f*ck the Oscars" speech, where he basically dunked on the movie industry, while simultaneously labelling the gaming industry "the real sh*t".

With his rant, Fares wasn't just trying to "create a moment" - he used to work in the movie industry himself, and he genuinely feels that Hollywood has grown far too arrogant and pompous, a stance that he has reaffirmed in followup interviews.

And hilariously, Fares continues to double-down on his movie industry spite to this day, even going so far as to hide his Oscars rant in his brilliant co-op game It Takes Two.

Players who climb a tower of cushions located in the game's space-themed level will come across an interactive satellite dish, which - if pointed at the right spot in the sky - will beam Fares' passionate rant down from the heavens.

The average player will have no idea what the easter egg means, but for those in the know, it's a cheeky nod to one of the most memorable moments in Game Awards history.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
