10 Brilliantly Simple Opening Credits In Awesome TV Shows
3. Broad City
Acclaimed feminist sitcom Broad City is another show that wastes no time jumping into its manic comic world; its opening titles serve more as a palate-cleansing appetiser, acclimatising its audience to Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer’s offbeat comic stylings.
Featuring a 90s-style old-school hip-hop beat with Cuban influences ("Latino & Proud" by Cuban DJ Raff), a count of "4 and 3 and 2 and 1" leads into Mike Perry’s dynamic, evolving visuals, which capture the homemade, fluid, and spontaneous style of the show.
Colourful, cartoonish, and psychedelic, these visuals occasionally link to the episode's plot: the episode “Nipple Twister”, for instance, see the lettering adorned with nipples.
