In an effort to fight off some of the negativity surrounding this expansion I just want to mention some of the references that I particularly enjoyed while leveling.
My favorite that actually caused me to laugh my !@#$ off was in the quest "From this Day Forward" in Drustvar. During a flashback to Lucille Waycrest's wedding an assassin appears behind the groom and says "nothing personal kid", which is a top notch meme.
In Stormsong Valley there is an NPC named Honey Bear along with Melancholy Mule, a reference to Winnie the Poo and Eeyore respectively.
Finally, During the Alliance quest to get a foothold in Nazmir, you kill Captain Conrad, ala Joseph Conrad, the author of "Heart of Darkness", which is also the name of that area on the map.
Any other good references that people have found?
I enjoyed "Come Sail Away" on arrival at the latest expansion. I was listening to a cover of the song at the time.

Cabbages!!
Cabbages!!
Piglet and tiger are also with Winnie poo.
I found the Lichen king and chuckled when he said there must always be a Lichen king... Only to respawn 5 seconds later. Guess he was right.
While chasing Lady Ashvane, a.k.a. Ursula, on horseback you have to jump over different obstacles and one of them is a man selling fresh cabbages who, if you fail to avoid him, will shout MY CABBAGES as you destroy his precious cabbages. I felt in Ba Sing Se for a moment.
I also liked finding Will E. Coyote and the roadrunner running around in Vol'Dun. Specially as the Coyote has a rocket in his hands.

Can't believe I forgot about the Cabbages one! I think I just didn't even notice. It's even better because it's a chase scene and that's how they always destroyed his stand in the show.

There is also an achievement called clever use of mechanical explosives, which tasks you with using a sporonite bomb on the lichen king, a reference to the infamous saronite bombs rebuilding the lich king's platform exploit.
I found a tribute to battlestar Galactica in Drustvar, it made me happy that someone else had a love for Starbuck.
If you enjoy Avatar the last air bender series you will enjoy the part where you chase lady Ashvain and hit the cabbage stand causing the guy to screen “my cabbages”
I really liked the Always Sunny tribute with the Rum Ham.
There's a Jungle Book reference tucked away between some mountains in Zuldazar.
In Zuldazar in the market area of Zandhul, there is a "Used Mojo Merchant" and his name is Moj'ito. I thought that was funny, but sadly he doesn't actually sell anything.
“Sleep with one eye open” ~ NPC near the Mission Table on the Kul Tiras ship docked at Bolarus. Made think about Metallica.
“Black-Eyed Bart” ~ Rare NPC you kill during a world quest. “Black Barrt” is a character from “The Christmas Story” when Ralphie was dreaming about saving his family and shooting the bad guys with his Red Rider BB Gun.
“Now you’ll get yours Black Barrt!”
Those two stick out for me.

Miss Piggy and Kermit in Nazmir with a little banjo you can play for them.
The quest called "Papers, please" base off the game "Papers, please" which is on steam.
There is a rare spawn goat in one of the Alliance areas names Totes. Totes ma'gotes.
Also, the Lost Platysaur pet form the 5 million mount vendor that is a reference to Ducky from The Land Before Time.

Witch Doctor Zayoos in the intelligent gorilla area of Zuldazar.
The item Steamed Clams (https://www.wowhead.com/item=160483/steamed-clams) has the flavor text, "They are obviously grilled."
There is a Edgar Allan Poe tribute in drustvar.

I love the "make Loh go" turtle reference. Look up the "logo" programming language if you weren't alive and using computers in the 80s.
