These funny Google searches—real queries finished by autocomplete—will have you laughing, cringing and wondering what people are really thinking
20 Funny Google Searches for When You’re Looking for Laughs
“Who would win in a fight between …”
Apparently, people are dying to know whether a taco or a grilled cheese would come out on top. Spoiler: The taco’s got the moves!
“Why does my husband …”
You should probably ask him this one directly. But hey, we all turn to Google when curiosity strikes. Then again, some things are better left unsaid.
“She is a …”
This could go in many directions—maybe someone’s wondering if their dog’s a good girl. (Yes.) Searches like this pair oddly well with cool Google tricks that reveal just how weird autocomplete can get.
“Why do I …”
Sadly, Google probably can’t tell you why you have no friends.
“I think I might be a …”
We all secretly hope it’s genius-related. Genius is relative, as anyone who’s read a few mind-boggling warning labels can tell you.
“What would a …”
A chair with backward-bending knees? Hmm, we might have to Google this one ourselves.
“Why are the …”
Why are the Kardashians famous?
“Sometimes when I’m …”
Comic Sans? Why would you do that to yourself? Let’s hope they were being ironic.
“She called me a …”
Some of these just aren’t very nice.
“Can I eat my …”
Just because you can Google it doesn’t mean you should. Google already knows too much about you, so it might be best to keep these under wraps.
“Could God …”
Hard to say what’s more surprising—the question or the first search result: “Could God be an alien?”
“Why isn’t 1 …”
That, my friend, is a great question. (We like “onety one,” ourselves.)
“Why don’t sp…”
The spell to make you rich isn’t working? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one Googling that.
“Why can’t I own a …”
Friendship beats ownership—especially when daily life cartoons show just how weird and wonderful reality already is.
“Why aren’t there …”
That T-Rex ghost is probably just waiting in the bushes.
“Google will …”
Of course it will be your friend—Google’s always got your back.
“Unicorns …”
Unicorns are full of happiness and sunshine, so how can they be jerks?
“What are these st…”
Why is there any fruit on Google?
“Why are there …”
“Why are there school?” That sentence answers your question right there.
“Why is my goldfish …”
A goldfish emergency is no joke! And one that can swim upside down? Talk about an amazing trick.
