Brief Explanation

The more legitimate the person, or company, the more people take notice when they fail. Each of our digital Adshels looked as though something was wrong with the file. It looked like someone had messed up and it had not loaded correctly. But on closer inspection you see that the folder is called Silicon Valley Season 3 and when you read the line on the error message you realise that it is a tongue and cheek joke that fits with the kind of comedy you might expect from the show.

Execution 1: File folder name: Silicon_Valley_Season3-Thursdays_8:30PM-SoHo Error message: This file is too big. But your mother didn't complain.
