Easter Eggs are often the best laughs in games. One of my personal favourites is hearing your uncle in Assassin's Creed II scream "It's a-me Mario" when you fail to recognise him - gets me every time. Treyarch, though, has added an incredible Easter Egg into Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - the coffin dance meme.
If you haven't seen it before, there is a story behind these men dancing with a coffin on their shoulders. The Dancing Pallbearers are a group in Ghana who dance as they carry coffins to their graves. It's in honour of celebrating the life of the people who have passed away rather than the sombre tradition most of us are familiar with. These days, the video of them dancing is a hilarious meme that accompanies fail compilations and other jokes and now it's in Cold War.
PCGamesN spotted the video of zombies performing the dance on the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War subreddit and seeing the undead carry a crate and dance like that is hilarious. User LooperGamer shows you can even jump on top of the crate as they're moving it as some of the dance music from Black Ops 4 plays in the background.
The way to get this Easter Egg yourself is by playing Die Maschine. As explained by Accelerated Ideas on YouTube, once you're in Die Maschine you have to head to the Particle Accelerator underground and shoot six glowing orbs that will be hidden in the area. Once you've done that, you'll be transported to another dimension where a zombie disco is going on and the dancing coffin performance will already be going on. Amazing.

It feels great when developers get to have some fun with the content they're producing with Easter Eggs and hidden content. The more memes the merrier.
