25 Biggest WTF TV Moments Of 2016
20. Horse Sex - Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley is no stranger to dick jokes, but the show truly went beyond the pale with this straight-up horse porn sequence in its third season.
As Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch) tries to talk shop with Jack Barker (Stephen Tobolowsky), he becomes distracted by two horses going at it in a stable, which is explicitly captured for what feels like forever and even ends with some inevitable horse splooge getting caught on film.
The show's creator, Mike Judge, even confirmed that there was no visual trickery here of any kind, and the sex was legit: "Yes, they are really having sex...There is no CG — we captured that moment."
To be honest, as weird and outrageous as the scene is, it's impressive they managed to incorporate such a spontaneous, awkward natural moment into the high-pressure nature of filming a scripted TV show.
