Mike Judge Helps Us Find The Easter Eggs In "Silicon Valley's" Opening Credits
A quick rundown of the blink-and-you-miss-them jokes in the opening credits of the HBO series.
On Silicon Valley, HBO's send-up of the tech industry, the jokes begin long before any actors appear on screen. The show's opening sequence — a computer animated, flyover of an imagined Silicon Valley — features a bevy of snarky references to the real world companies that help inform so many of the show's jokes and storylines.
Now in its third season, Silicon Valley's opening credits are more jam packed than ever. "I like putting more and more eye candy," show creator Mike Judge told BuzzFeed News.

A snide reference to recent departures at Twitter, particularly executive ones eased by fat severance packages. Former-Twitter CEO Dick Costolo served as a consultant on Silicon Valley's third season, so this easter egg is especially apt. "I remember we did have a conversation [with Costolo] about it," said Judge. "I think he thought it was funny."
