Spaceballs Easter Egg?

[Never say no to Panda!]

I guess it's a not so well hidden reference to the wet donut we see in Aliens when the marines explore HH.

Figured id post here rather than make a thread about it, but did anyone notice right when you start going through the neurotoxin areas theres 4 tanks with giant donuts in them? two partially eaten and two intact. Been thru this area plenty of times and didnt see it b4.

RE-EDIT: Here it is. I did exactly what i did the first time which is follow along the right wall mashing buttons and turned around right where im standing in the pic.

When I saw those in the game, I didn't understand the purpose of it. I still don't.

Hmm, well, this is just my interpretation of the game itself. See how the donuts make shapes like a 'C' and, er, 'O' letters? It's as if it's spelling "cócó", which is portuguese for 'crap'.
Ergo, that is an easter egg reflecting the state of this game, which is utter crap.

That's the only thing I could think of also, but that seemed kind of lame to me. Just wanted to be sure I wasnt missing some other sort of reference.

Bah! You call yourself a fan and don't remember the rotting doughnuts!

[Nightlord]

Gearbox put in these random donuts and not a mutant hamster, they just can't do anything right can they.

What are you talking about? Where do you think the Crusher came from, huh?

Strange little trivial background item to make so many easter eggs of.

GEARBOXED!

But late to the party but to answer a question Kobus was named after myself, a few members of the UKCM helped promote the game and we were added to it, you can see our names in the end credits

[HuDaFuK]

Kobus from District 9?

I believe the D9 character is Koobus, with two o's.

Freaky resemblance though. Bet he can't believe he gets paid to do this...

i found that easter egg and i saw a hat and crane which looked like the one from spaceballs.
