Here are some of my favorites:

-In the scene from "Breaker of Chains" (Game of Thrones season 4) where the Meereeneese champion challenges Daenerys, one of his lines is apparently a Low Valyrian translation of a certain immortal Monty Python line. I'm not sure if this is in A Feast for Crows, too, but now I want to reread it and find out. :)

-Speaking of Game of Thrones, there's a subtle reference to it in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver; a trainer on Route 42 is called Fisherman Tully.
--Other good ones from the Pokemon series include the Hiker in Rock Tunnel who literally says "Hit me with your best shot" before battle (and "Fired away!" when he loses) and Silver quoting Ledger!Joker in HGSS.

-Listen to K.K. Adventure in Animal Crossing. Then listen to the Pirates of the Caribbean theme.
--K.K. Island is also a remix of the island theme from the Gamecube game, and Rockin' K.K. is based on the Hippie battle theme from EarthBound and/or Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode".
--Quillson the duck villager is probably based on Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.
