As probably everybody knows by now, MV and the team of La-La-Land have the intriguing habit of hiding highly interesting stuff on some of their releases.
Usually these "hidden" tracks can be found at the end of the last track (after a short sequence of silence).
While the number of such releases keeps growing and growing, I thought it would be a good idea to collect all information about this stuff in one place. (Lest someone misses one of these precious tracks ...  )
Perhaps it could even be added to the La-La-Land wiki page as well? Jason? 
==================================================
In any case here's the list of easter egss that I know of.
(Numbers in Bracksts give the Cd-number in a multi-CD set, track names are partly made up by myself and not official)

Additional Information
#1091 - Airplane!:
Q: Doesn't Airplane! end with the percussion used for the native news?
A: It sure does, Neil! (by Dan Goldwasser)
#1176 - Star Trek: TNG, Vol. 1 [1]:
Q: Who are the people, who are so boldly interpreting Start Trek Main Theme on the Star Trek - TNG Set?
A: The players on the last session of TNG goofing off. (by MV)
#1188 - Die Hard [2]:
Q: Why did you choose to make "Roy Rogers meets Beethoven's Ninth" a hidden surprise on the Die Hard Set?
A: It just seemed odd to put it anywhere else. It was a goof that Kamen recorded never meant to be used. (by MV)
#1208 - Galaxy Quest:
Q: Galaxy Quest has an easter egg as well: there are some source music variations of the main theme from "Questcon" tacked onto the last track!
A: That's the music that plays when the actors are introduced at the convention. (by Neil S. Bulk)
#1218 - BATS, Vol. 2 [1]:
Q: I'm pretty sure that MV has said that the Batman Theme piano demo was actually played by Danny Elfman for Tim Burton and Jon Peters as an audition of what the music for Batman would sound like. It wasn't Shirley Walker.
A: It was played by Shirley on behalf of Danny for the producers (by MV)
"Lost" Easter eggs
#1044 - Breakheart Pass:
The best one is of Jerry yelling at the orchestra in Brekheart Pass (I think). Going, "No, no no that's all wrong!"
Sadly we had to take it out.

#1189 - Batman Forever:
One of the musicians at the Batman Forever sessions made a "that's what she said" joke and we thought about including it as an easter egg, but then decided not to.

==================================================
If any of you knowledgeable score-fans should know about more hidden tracks and/or would like to correct my list or just would like to share his/her thoughts on this matter, then please be my guest in this thread! 
Of course it would be awesome if MV himself could chime in as well and reveal the official track names and/or the real backstory of these tracks.
(For obvious reasons there's nothing to be found about them in the respective liner notes. )

Never mind - I posted one you've already mentioned, but somehow my weary eyes totally glossed over it. (It was the one on the "The Next Generation" set, which is quite fun). Apologies all around.

...I love those easter eggs... just like you did on the TNG Set! I was laughing for a long time after hearing that one LOL!! The Motion Picture set also had an Easter egg.
I wish he were here to ask him, but could Superman1701 be referring to the Goldsmith/Huxley banter during the blaster beam track?
Any other eggs to be found on ST:TMP?

There is also one on Trick 'r Treat: a final statement of the theme.
