Entertaining Hidden Secrets In Television

By Daphne Bowen


The directors are always putting in some weird things for viewers to reference some things that belong to other shows or to deliver some kind of message. Sometimes it could be faces, sometimes it could be numbers, and other times it could even be pictures of something. So just for a bit of entertainment, here are some different hidden secrets in television shows that people have probably missed.

One of the most common of all the secret codes that can be found in a lot of shows and movies these days would be the code A113. The code A113 has popped out in a lot of animated films that have come out into the media such as the Simpsons, Lilo and Stitch, American Dad, Rugrats and even more. Many do not notice this code at all but if one would look closely at car plates or unit numbers, he would most likely see the code A113.

Now for those who do not know about this code, basically it is the number of a room in the California Institute of Arts. This is in fact a school where a lot of animators and directors would attend so it is not unlikely that they will not reference it. It is definitely no wonder that the code A113 has appeared in many films.

Of course Disney is really fond of putting those secret messages or Easter Eggs as they are popularly known as. Now Disney movies would often have their star character appearing as a guest star in them. Of course everyone knows that the star character of Disney is none other than Mickey Mouse and he is the one that would appear mostly in movies as a guest.

Of course Disney is also really fond of putting other characters from other movies into their own movies as well. One example would be a toy of Buzz Lightyear that made an appearance in the popular Disney and Pixar film known as Finding Nemo. Admittedly a lot of viewers were really entertained when they saw that.

Now one of the cooler hidden messages would of course be the one that can be found in Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark wherein Indiana Jones can be found standing next to a pillar with some pictures of them. If one will look at the drawings carefully, he can actually see that there are drawings of R2D2 and C3PO. It can be said that director of the movie was quite the Star Wars fan for him to put a reference of Star Wars there.

If one would watch the movie Fight Club, he would see a Starbucks reference in almost every scene. Some say that this is because the director is a Starbucks fan, others say that it was for advertising purposes. No matter what the reason, it still was interesting to see.

So those are some very interesting secrets that can be found in a lot of movies and tv shows. As stated earlier, these secrets pop out probably because of the humor of the director. They could also probably be advertising as well.
