6. Hank's Breaking Bad DVD - Breaking Bad

There are few TV shows with fanbases as passionately devoted as Breaking Bad, with fans avidly scanning every last possible frame of every single episode in the pursuit of sneaky references and Easter eggs.

But the crew decided to have some fun with fans in the season five episode "Rabid Dog," as those who decided to peruse Hank Schrader's (Dean Norris) bookshelf looking for plot foreshadowing would instead discover a universe-breaking piece of media.

Nestled among the books is a DVD of the Breaking Bad series itself, which no doubt caused many fans to plunge down a logical rabbit-hole as they tried to figure out how the DVD could actually exist within the show's universe.

Rather than, you know, just accepting it as a cute joke and nothing more.
