With that lets get to todays list of the Top 10 Easter Eggs You Missed in Black Mirror
Bandersnatch
#10 Metalhead Perhaps the first easter egg you can pick
out is the poster of a video game called Metl Hedd.
This is a direct reference to the fifth episode of the fourth season called Metalhead.
Both Bandersnatch and the memorable black and white episode were directed by David Slade
so you know he had a part in including that easter egg.
The episode features a murderous robotic dog seen in the poster and throughout the Tuckersoft
office.
#9 USS Callister In the Pearl Ritman ending a news crawl pops
up that reads - Cast of Space Fleet reunite at Emmys.
This is an easter egg reference to the Star-Trek like episode where programmer Robert Daly
created his own simulation of the show.
It also gets a reference here in a newspaper clipping about Stefan confessing to murdering
his father (show photo https://bit.ly/2CKcPcz) The ad reads - The long awaited third chapter
of Space Fleet has been aired.
The popular Sci-fi TV show continues to win over viewers.
#8 White Bear There are a ton of White Bear easter eggs
all over this movie.
Even one of the more obvious ones like an actual video game featuring a scary polar
bear aptly named White Bear (show photo https://bit.ly/2GPoryI) Plus as Stefan gets deeper into creating this
choose your own adventure game he begins seeing this bracket symbol that continues to haunt
him.
The symbol itself is a direct reference to the same one seen throughout the second episode
of season two (show photo https://bit.ly/2F3KEaQ) White bear was about a woman being chased
by armed killers and voyeuristic onlookers which is very similar to the plot of Bandersnatch.
It ultimately becomes a symbol of obsession for Stefan and takes on many meanings.
#7 Saint Juniper Hospital In Bandersnatch Stefan continues to see a
therapist at a place called Saint Juniper Hospital (show photo https://bit.ly/2QhjSgk)
This is an easter egg nod to the uplifting episode known as San Junipero.
Also it points to the same hospital that is in season fours Black Museum episode.
In that episode a mans wife is hit by a van and ends up in a coma, she happens to be staying
in the same hospital that Stefan visits to see his therapist.
#6 TCKR Systems With references to the TCKR system in Bandersnatch
this could actually prove to be the origin story of that company we see in other episodes
like San Junipero and Black Museum.
In the San Junipero episode that companies technology is used to upload the minds of
elderly or dead people into an alternate reality to preserve them.
In Bandersnatch the company begins as Tuckersoft the 80s video game software company.
This could point to why that episode had an 80s theme reality throughout it.
#5 Michael Callow Ahh Michael Callow who you may remember from
the very first episode of Black Mirror titled - The National Anthem where he was the prime
minister.
In Bandersnatch we get an easily missed easter egg in a news report flash (show photo https://bit.ly/2Qg7g8Z)
It reads - Former PM Michael Callow wins celebrity bake off.
And if you remember in that first episode he was forced to televise the fornication
with a pig.
Which makes this video game reference that much better
#4 15 Million Merits This is another episode of Black Mirror that
has easter eggs sprinkled everywhere in Bandersnatch.
Firstly Stefans dad is smoking a brand of cigarettes called Wraiths Gold Band which
is a nod to Wraith the judge for the Hot Shot singing competition in Fifteen Million Merits.
The singing competition also leads to a strange pornographic show called WraithBabes.
Which points to Stefans dad being a bit more manipulative than first believed.
In the Pearl Ritman ending we also see a newspaper story from 1984 about the murder of Stefans
father to which the ad reads - 15 million talent team Hot Shots talent show to start
a new series in the beginning of 1985.
The last fifteen million merits easter egg is the video game called Rolling Road, which
is very much akin to the stationary cycling game that Bing rides to earn his merits.
#3 The Waldo Moment In another news headline for the Pearl Ritman
ending we see a news crawl that says - Liam Monroe Enters Buckingham Palace.
This is a reference to Waldos political opponent played by Tobias Menzies in the episode where
a cartoon bear gets involved in politics.
The purpose of the Waldo character in that episode was to mock politicians only to further
the cause of the conservatives.
However with that headline we see that Waldos mocking did more than further the Conservative
cause it actually propelled Monroe into British State power.
#2 Nosedive There are actually several different endings
to Bandersnatch and one of them features a crazy easter egg that many would have missed.
In one finale we see Stefan listening to a tape and on the tape is some very unusual
noises.
Hardcore fans of the Black Mirror universe ran those unusual noises through a ZX spectrum
emulator which resulted in a QR code.
That code is a link to a page on the Tuckersoft website where you can download a game called
Nohzdyve.
Which is an easter egg to the season three episode with the same name.
Once youre on the website if you go to the Metl Hedd page and click on the advertisement
banner at the bottom it will take you to another page where you can rate your friends just
like in the original episode.
LIKE WHAT - Excuse me while my brain melts.
#1 Roach busters In the Men Against Fire episode an implant
called MASS is used to force soldiers into killing innocents by altering their vision
to change humans into giant roaches.
It does this so that killing them becomes much easier.
Bandersnatch makes a silly video game reference to this very serious episode with a game called
Roach busters.
The description even reads - You are responsible for the wellbeing of mankind.
You must protect everyone.
Kill the Roaches and collect the stars.
