Funny Google searches: Who searches for this stuff?

We’re all familiar with Google Suggest, that wonderful box that pops up as you type in your search on Google and suggests what you might be searching for. It can help save you the trouble of typing out a long sentence, but I’ve found it’s a lot more useful for humor than anything else.

A lot of searches are pretty reasonable, but in most batches, there’s that one weird one that just makes you think, “who the hell searches for that?!”:

why-is-google-searches

It’s really surprising to see the things people actually search for, but believe it or not, these are real. I spent some time typing in different common phrases to see just what Google searches were suggested. The results were pretty entertaining…

* These might be a bit offensive on a variety of levels, you’ve been warned.

Great post very funny, how do google decide what they show. It must be down to popularity of the search term, what kind of people are searching out there!

OMG I’ve seen the ‘why is my poop green’ text drop down before when I was googling, which really caught me off guard. Who is typing that? What are they eating? maybe they are the same person trying to figure out if it is healthy to eat boogers….

You can actually ‘game’ this much like the old google bombs, and I know there are people out there who do this just for fun. All you have to do is load a frame with the search you want onto a high traffic site. Google sees that lots of people are searching for you funny term and it will eventually show up in the suggest results.

32. Kaja from Funny and Awesome Stuff

December 30th, 2009 9:02 pm

Hahaha some of those were hilarious. But to be fair… I have actually searched for some of the ridiculous searched… I was freaked out my poop was green okay!

I seen a very interesting show the other week on TV regarding Google the company. Something I did not know or really think of is that Google keeps every search that is performed on the internet and they can actually link the searches you do each day to your computer. They keep this information for 60 days then the identity is removed from the search queries. Talk about the Big Brother effect, kind of make you wonder what is all out there in cyber land about us.

35. Justin from Learn WordPress

January 19th, 2010 7:13 pm

Haha, some of these are hilarious. What’s even funnier is when you look at Google analytics and see some of these fully keyword phrases that people use to find your own blog.

36. David Gilroy from law firm marketing

January 30th, 2010 3:04 am

What a great list, but does anyone know what or how Google decides what to show? Is is just based on search volumes? I don’t think so.

37. Paul

January 31st, 2010 5:24 pm

@David: That’s actually a really good question, one I wonder about too. I wouldn’t be surprised if Google throws in some odd searches just to spice things up.

This is a funny trick-

1. go to google.com home page http://google.com

2. type “Me in 10 Years”

3. Click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button

39. charles from Narconon Vista Bay

although this search might seem bizarre to us but there are people who will search anything just to kill their time.so i wouldn’t be surprised if this really made by real people.

40. haley

February 16th, 2010 1:48 am

Hey Paul I am giving you the ultimate Funny Search you will ever come across in a search engine.Just Go to Google Search and type the phrase ‘how to’ and guess what you will see as the first suggestion.You will get ‘how to get pregnant’ as your first suggestion.Isn’t it funny.As if we don’t know how to get pregnant.

If you type in “What are these” google used to suggest “What are these strawberries doing on my nipples I need them for my fruit salad”.
They took it off though. :(
