Awesome. I have a lot of respect for people who do this for a living - such an interesting profession, and one that, at its best, is completely unnoticeable.
In music, I always love weird samples - things that you don't get out of sample packs or drum machines. I think I got into it from IDM music, and the work of the Japanese artists Kashiwa Daisuke and World's End Girlfriend - they'd use these samples that make you feel like you're in a movie scene, yet fit beautifully in with the music. The breath sample at 4:58 in Kashiwa Daisuke's Stella is a memorable one.
Also interesting to see weird samples hit the pop consciousness - obviously the multitude of "Ha", "Uh", and "Hoo" samples in modern hip-hop come to mind, but also the weirder ones like the bed springs you hear in Jersey Club and trap music (google "trap bed springs sample" for examples).
