I was watching this really old movie last night called "Indiana Jones and Last Crusade". About 10 minutes in, the lead character named Indiana Jones (Im not kidding that's his name) says "THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!" to some bad guy. He said that exact line word-for-word. I immediately thought of Harrison Jones, especialpy since later in the movie that same character dresses a kinda similar.
So after the movie I did some googling and found out that the actor that played the character was named Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford + Indiana Jones = Harrison Jones. I also confirmed that the movie came out even before Hearthstone's alpha so it is clear that Blizzard copied this movie/character, either as an homage or ripoff (probably the first).
Anyhow I found it really interesting and wanted to share. It's a real movie you can look it up and even watch it for free if you have Amazon prime right now.
I wonder what other Easter Eggs are out there!

Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
An easter egg I did actually stumble upon thanks to this thread is
"Han shot first", the flavor text of quick shot. I probably never realized it as I seldom play hunter and normally do play on the phone where flavour texts are less salient.
Great Star Wars reference, and btw also related to Harrison Ford.
What an idiot. The card is a reference to Pawn Stars’ Rick HARRISON, who’s most famous purchases include antique weapons and armor (see the cards effects). What’s more, Rick often suggests donating antique items to public museums, a clear and obvious throwback to the “that belongs in a museum!” line you mistakenly attribute to this Indiana Jones, whoever the hell that is.

I am suspicious about your sudden amusement, OP, but have a look here for some more great references in the game! Harrison Jones is far from the only reference from that particular movie...

Wow thanks for this amazing info! I'm sure nobody knew about that!
Awesome find! I recently discovered that some of the cards somehow seem to resemble characters from a game named world of warcraft.
He obviously is trolling, but let's have fun anyway.
It also turns out Leeroy Jenkins is based on Leeroy Jenkins!
I don't... I can't... even... comprehend...
WOW
Trollololollolol
I have been playing a long time. I just never knew about the movie until recently.

Talking about coincidence: did you realize that King Arthas Menethil and The Lich King look like they are somehow blood related? How can dis be?
you, sir, are the king of this thread.
Turns out it's indeed a children's card game.
So "Harrison" does not stand for "Harrison Ford" the actor who played "Indiana Jones"!!! Therefore, "Harrison"
Ford Indiana"Jones"/woosh

This post i just love ππΌππΌ
I hope to god and everything that's holy that this is a troll post. I've already lost enough faith in humanity but this would be hitting rock bottom.
C'mon, even Cap understands that reference!
