Google's Wild '67' Easter Egg: Why the Internet's Favorite Meme is Shaking Screens Worldwide
The mysterious '67' trend has taken over the internet, and now even Google is in on the fun with a hilarious Easter egg that makes your search screen shake.
Originating from Philadelphia rapper Skrilla's 2024 track 'Doot Doot (6 7)', the phrase '6-7' or '67' started as a nonsensical hook that exploded into a viral meme. Users mimic a hand gesture—palms up, moving slightly up and down as if weighing options—often in absurd, humorous contexts.[2][3]
The trend's appeal lies in its fluidity and absurdity, serving as an inside joke for Gen Alpha while highlighting rapid online slang evolution for others. Dictionary.com crowned '6-7' its Word of the Year in October, calling it 'part inside joke, part social signal and part performance.' It has infiltrated pop culture, appearing in South Park, NBA games (linked to player LaMelo Ball's 6'7" height), and even naming a pardoned pig.[2][3]
Google joined the frenzy by adding an interactive Easter egg: typing '6-7' or '67' into the search bar triggers the results page to shake, replicating the iconic gesture. This works on both desktop and mobile, sparking reaction videos on TikTok, X, and Instagram.[1][2][3]
To experience it yourself:
- Open Google in any browser.
- Type '67' or '6-7'.
- Watch the screen dance as results load.[3]
Trending heavily on Google Trends today, '67' reflects internet culture's playful side, blending music, memes, and tech in a global phenomenon.[1]
