Last Of Us 2: 25 Easter Eggs, Details & References You Need To See
5. Smashing Brandi's Cootch (Crash Bandicoot Reference)
While Naughty Dog is no stranger to referencing their past games, the subtle nod to Crash Bandicoot in The Last of Us: Part 2 is one of their most controversial to date.
During the chapter when Ellie and Dina stumble across old acquaintance Euguen's underground lair/weed farm, you can also find an interaction prompt next to an old stash of VHS tapes.
Turns out old Eugene liked to keep himself 'busy' down in his basement; the VHS tapes are porn films. The first of these is entitled 'Smash Brandi's Cootch'. At first glance - standard porn fare, but rearrange the letters and you'll get Crash Bandicoot instead!
The other tape is entitled 'Dong of the Wolf'. If that sounds familiar to you, that's because there was a parody movie about werewolves called 'Dawn of the Wolf' in the original Last of Us. You can find another poster referencing this movie in downtown Seattle in Part 2 as well.
