6 Things We Learnt At The Silicon Valley SDCC Panel

1) A Lot Of Semen Comes Out Of A Horse When They Have Sex

This delightful and informative tidbit was one of the first revelations that Thomas Middleditch explained the crowd, which most definitely included children, when they emerged on to the panel.

They went into great detail as well, which incited raucous laughter from those in attendance, about how much semen horses produce during intercourse, which led the cast to start mocking writer/director Alec Berg for his “hatred of animals.”Obviously that isn’t true, but it was hilarious to see how far they took the bit.

2) The Cast “Spits Gold” While Improvising

Improvisation is a big part of Silicon Valley, which means that there are many, many takes that we’ll never see and never get the chance to laugh at. Well, unless you’re at SDCC that is, because before the cast and crew came out, fans were treated to a highlight reel from season three that included some of those hilarious moments we’ll never see.

From Jared (Woods) cycling through ridiculous ways to tell Richard (Middleditch) how proud he is to Dinesh (Nanjiani) rotating through various ways to tell Gilfoyle that he looks ridiculous in THE Pied Piper jacket, it was clear exactly how funny the environment on set must be.

One thing that’s been made clear is that whoever’s in charge of editing each episode definitely has the hardest job around, second only to actually writing the HBO show.
