Crash Course (sometimes stylized as CrashCourse) is an educational YouTube channel started by the Green brothers, Hank Green and John Green, who are notable for their VlogBrothers channel.[1][2][3] Originally, John and Hank presented humanities and science courses to viewers, respectively,[4] although the series has since expanded to incorporate courses by additional hosts.
Crash Course was one of the 100 initial channels of YouTube's $100 million original channel initiative. Crash Course launched a preview on December 2, 2011. As of March 10, 2019, the Crash Course YouTube channel has over 9 million subscribers[5] and the channel passed 1 billion total views in February 2019.[6] In November 2014, Hank Green announced that a partnership with PBS Digital Studios would allow them to produce more courses, starting in January 2015.
Taylor and Billie's relationship ultimately eight months later, and he's with a new lady in his life.
To date, there are 36 main series of Crash Course, with John hosting nine and Hank hosting seven. Together with Emily Graslie, they also co-hosted Big History. Alongside the PBS partnership, and with John commencing a year-long hiatus from the show in 2015, additional hosts were brought in to increase the number of concurrent series: Phil Plait (Astronomy), Craig Benzine (U.S. Government and Politics and Film History), Adriene Hill (Economics and Statistics), Jacob Clifford (Economics), Shini Somara (Physics and Engineering), Andre Meadows (Games), Carrie Anne Philbin (Computer Science), Mike Rugnetta (Mythology and Theater), Nicole Sweeney (Sociology), Emily Graslie (Big History 2), Lily Gladstone (Film Production), Michael Aranda (Film Criticism), Thomas Frank (Study Skills), Jay Smooth (Media Literacy), and Evelyn Ngugi (Business: Soft Skills).
A second channel, Crash Course Kids, is hosted by Sabrina Cruz and has completed its first series, Science. The first foreign-language course, an Arabic reworking of the original World History series, is hosted by Yasser Abumuailek. The main channel has also begun a series of shorter animated episodes, called Recess, that focus on topics from previous Crash Course series.

Production[edit]
The science series (and Philosophy, but not Computer Science) are filmed in Missoula, Montana, in a studio building that also houses SciShow.[7] The Biology and Ecology series were filmed in front of green screen. From the Chemistry season onward, these series were filmed on new custom-built sets. These series are produced and edited by Nicholas Jenkins, while Blake de Pastino serves as script editor. The sound design and music for these series are provided by Michael Aranda and in later series, his company Synema Studios.
The humanities series (except Philosophy and Economics) and Computer Science are filmed in a studio in Indianapolis, Indiana, which is also home to The Art Assignment and Healthcare Triage. They are produced and edited by Stan Muller, Mark Olsen, and Brandon Brungard.
Crash Course Kids was filmed in a studio in Toronto, Ontario. The series was directed by Michael Aranda, and produced by the Missoula Crash Course team.
Crash Course Economics is filmed in the YouTube Space in Los Angeles, California, and produced by the Indianapolis Crash Course team.
Graphic design for all of the series except Biology and Ecology is provided by Thought Café (formerly Thought Bubble).
Starting with the Statistics course in early 2018, courses that are not PBS co-productions are directly identifying as made by Complexly, complete with logo branding and suggestions for their other channels.
Funding[edit]
The Crash Course YouTube channel was teased in December 2011,[8] and launched in January 2012 as one of the initial original, YouTube-funded channels.[9][10] In April 2013, John Green detailed that Crash Course was going through financial hardships.[11] In July 2013, Hank Green expressed his frustration with the ways YouTube had been changing and controlling its website.[12][13]
Funds from Google eventually ran out, and shortly after Green's A Chat with YouTube video, the VlogBrothers decided to launch Subbable, a crowdfunding website where viewers can donate, monthly, to channels in return for perks. Donating is optional, as Hank Green stated, 'We ascribe to the idealistic notion that audiences don't pay for things because they have to but because they care about the stuff that they love and want it to continue to grow'.[14]Crash Course was the first series and channel to be offered on Subbable, and from this point onward, would be funded by the website.[15] In March 2015, Subbable was acquired by Patreon, and Crash Course's crowdfunding was moved over to Patreon.
In 2014, Crash Course announced a partnership with PBS Digital Studios. The partnership will introduce Benzine and Plait, who have hosted U.S. Government and Politics, and Astronomy, respectively.[16] Hank Green also announced he will be hosting an Anatomy &Physiology series, and that another host will host an Economics series, as John takes a year-long break from the series.[16]
Arts courses[edit]
Some courses, presented by neither Hank nor John Green have been added to the Crash Course curriculum since it first began in 2012.
Games[edit]
On March 25, 2016, the Crash Course YouTube channel uploaded a two-minute preview for Crash Course Games. It covers the history of games and several types of games, including board games, video games, card games, role-playing games, sports, and more. The series was hosted by Andre Meadows and premiered April 1, 2016.
Film[edit]
On April 6, 2017, a preview for Crash Course Film was uploaded. The series consists of three segments: Film History hosted by Craig Benzine, Film Production hosted by Lily Gladstone, and Film Criticism hosted by Michael Aranda.[17]Film History covers the invention of cinema technology, the evolution of film language, and trends in filmmaking. Film Production covers the process of filmmaking and the roles of key crew members. Film Criticism analyzes titles including Citizen Kane, Aliens, Selma, Do the Right Thing, Apocalypse Now, Moonlight, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.[18]
Theater[edit]
On February 2, 2018, a preview for Crash Course Theater and Drama was uploaded. The first episode was uploaded on February 9 of the same year. The show was is hosted by Mike Rugnetta, and covers the history of theater throughout different cultures and time periods.
Humanities courses[edit]
John Green, one half of the VlogBrothers, began his Crash Course series on January 26, 2012, with World History. As a collective, John has referred to the courses he teaches as 'Humanities'.[19]
As a result of a partnership with PBS Digital Studios, as well as John's decision to take a break from Crash Course in 2015, new hosts have been introduced to host the humanities courses: Craig Benzine (Government), Adriene Hill and Jacob Clifford (Economics), and Andre Meadows (Games).
Hank's sixth series, Philosophy, is also a humanities course, although it is produced by the team in Missoula who have traditionally produced the science series.
World History[edit]
Crash Course World History[20] was the first series launched on the Crash Course channel, running from January 26 to November 5, 2012.
On January 26, 2012, the series launched with 'The Agricultural Revolution' and a new episode aired on YouTube every Thursday. Throughout an episode, Green, the show's host and executive producer, elaborates on the topic presented at the beginning of the video. Raoul Meyer, an AP World History teacher and Green's former teacher at Indian Springs School, writes the show, with revisions and additions by Green.[21]
Crash Course World History features recurring segments such as 'The Open Letter,' where Green reads an open letter to a historical figure, period, item, or concept. Occasionally Green converses with a naïve, younger version of himself whom he calls 'Me from the past'; this character usually has naïve or obvious questions or statements about the topic.[4][22] A running joke is that the Mongols are a major exception to most sweeping generalizations in world history. Mentions of this fact cue the 'Mongoltage' (a portmanteau of 'Mongol' and 'montage'), which shows a drawing of Mongols shouting 'We're an Exception!' followed by a three-second clip of a scene from the 1963 film Hercules Against the Mongols depicting a village raid.
In Crash Course World History, Green frequently encourages his viewers to avoid looking at history through Eurocentric or 'Great Man' lenses, but to be conscious of a broader historical context. Crash Course World History, filmed in Indianapolis, has a broad following, having attracted millions of viewers.[23] It has a particular appeal to American students taking the AP World History class and exam; many students and teachers use the videos to supplement their courses.[9][24][25] Various episodes were featured in online news publications.[26][27]
After 42 episodes, World History concluded on November 9, 2012. On June 27, 2014, in a video preview, John Green announced World History would return for a second season, lasting 30 episodes.[28] Ultimately, the second season ended on Apr 4, 2015. He made a few predictions about the future and also quoted at his last sentence: 'Also, thanks for watching this series. It has been amazingly fun to create, and we appreciate all of you.'[29]
In 2018, an Arabic-language edition of World History, hosted by Yasser Abumuailek, launched. It is produced by Deutsche Welle and hosted on their Arabic YouTube channel.[30]
Literature[edit]
John's second series is Crash CourseLiterature, which first aired as an eight-episode miniseries, from November 15, 2012. Works that have been covered include Romeo and Juliet, The Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, and Emily Dickinson's poetry.
In February 2014, it was announced John Green would follow his U.S. History series with Crash CourseLiterature 2.[31] This second season began on February 27, 2014, and ran for 16 episodes, covering ancient works such as The Odyssey and Oedipus and novels like To Kill a Mockingbird, Slaughterhouse-Five, Frankenstein, and Beloved.
In January 2016, John announced that a third season of Crash Course Literature would air in the summer. This season will cover The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Invisible Man, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Sula, Lord of the Flies as well as some Shakespearean sonnets.
On April 4, 2017 John Green revealed in a VlogBrothers video that Literature will be returning for a fourth series in Fall 2017; he mentioned Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell as a possible book to be covered.[32] On June 22 of that year, at VidCon, the full list for the fourth season was announced: 1984, The Handmaid's Tale, Parable of the Sower, Candide, Macbeth, To the Lighthouse, The Yellow Wallpaper, and Pride and Prejudice.[33]
U.S. History[edit]
On the January 24, 2013, finale of the first season of Crash Course Literature, John Green announced that it would be followed by Crash Course U.S. History, beginning the following week on January 31, 2013 with 'The Black Legend, Native Americans, and Spaniards.' Following in the tone set by World History, Green puts an emphasis on maintaining an open and non-Western view of American History. A new segment called the 'Mystery Document' replaces the 'Open Letter'; Green takes a manuscript from the fireplace's secret compartment and reads it aloud, then must guess its author and the source work it is excerpted from. If he is incorrect, he is punished by a shock pen. Whilst the Mongoltage is largely absent, the 'Libertage,' photos associated with America overtop an American flag with an electric guitar sound effect opening and ending with an explosion, appears whenever America's great national pride is referenced. The series ended on February 6, 2014.[31] As with World History, Crash Course U.S. History is written by Raoul Meyer.
U.S. Government and Politics[edit]
As part of the partnership with PBS Digital Studios, Craig Benzine, known on YouTube as WheezyWaiter, was brought in to host the U.S. Government and Politics series.[34] Benzine said that the course will provide an overview of how the government of the United States is supposed to function, and how it actually does function. He also said that the course will teach about 'the branches of government, politics, elections, political parties, pizza parties, and much, much more'.
The series began on January 23, 2015, and ended on March 4, 2016.
Economics[edit]
In Hank's November 2014 announcement of the PBS partnership and the new series of Crash Course in 2015, he mentioned that a Crash Course Economics was in the works, but that it was not yet known who would present it.[34] In February 2015, John announced that reporter Adriene Hill and high school teacher Jacob Clifford will host,[35] and in July 2015, a preview video was released on the Crash Course channel. The series was launched on July 8, 2015, and finished on June 9th, 2016.
Philosophy[edit]
On January 18, 2016, Hank Green announced he would be hosting a new series about philosophy in February 2016.[36] On February 8th, the first philosophy episode was released. Philosophy is the first course to have a corporate sponsor; Squarespace will present each episode. The series was launched February 8, 2016. The series is produced by the science-series team in Missoula, Montana, as the series focuses on issues in logic and the philosophy of science. The series ended on February 13, 2017.
Mythology[edit]
On February 17, 2017, a preview for Crash Course Mythology was uploaded. Hosted by Mike Rugnetta, the series began on February 24, 2017. It covers creation myths, pantheons, destruction myths, heroes, mythical places, creatures, objects, and myths in the modern world.
Science courses[edit]
Hank Green began his Crash Course series with Biology, on January 30, 2012. John referred to Hank's series as 'the science stuff' counterpart to his humanities courses.[19] As part of the partnership with PBS Digital Studios, additional hosts have been brought in to host recent series: Phil Plait (Astronomy), and Shini Somara (Physics).
A 2017 series, Computer Science, is also a science course, although it is produced by the team in Indianapolis who have traditionally produced the humanities series.
Biology[edit]
Hank Green's first series, Crash Course Biology, launched on January 30, 2012 with 'That's Why Carbon Is a Tramp,' and a new episode aired on YouTube every Monday until October 22, 2012. The series used humor to blend entertainment into its educational content.[37] A recurring segment on the program is titled 'Biolo-graphy,' in which Green relays a short biography of a person who is usually associated with the topic of the overall episode. For the benefit of uncertain viewers, Hank Green links YouTube annotations to every specific subtopic he explains in the video at the conclusion of the episode (the annotations replay the video starting from the particular annotation the viewer selects). In July 2012, a Crash Course Biology episode discussing comparative anatomy was featured on a Mashable article.[38]
Ecology[edit]
In the final episode of Crash Course Biology, Green revealed that the successor series, Crash Course Ecology, would follow in the spirit of the Biology series.[39] It premiered on November 5, 2012, and ran for 12 episodes.
Chemistry[edit]
In January 2013, Hank Green announced that his next series would be Crash Course Chemistry, following a similar style to his previous Biology and Ecology series. He talked about the importance of chemistry to the world, and talked about the series in a brief 2-minute preview video.[40] This series premiered on February 11, 2013.
Psychology[edit]
On January 3, 2014, Hank Green teased the launch of a series on psychology, before launching it on February 3.[41]
Anatomy & Physiology[edit]
On January 15, 2014, Hank Green announced he would be hosting a new series about anatomy & physiology in 2015. The series began on January 6, 2015.
Astronomy[edit]
Phil Plait began teaching a course on astronomy on January 15, 2015. Plait stated that the course, 'will cover basic topics in astronomy like motions in the sky, naked-eye observing, the planets, eclipses, stars, galaxies, and the whole Universe.'[42]
Physics[edit]
On January 29, 2016, the Crash Course Tumblr confirmed that the physics course will debut in late March, hosted by Shini Somara.[43] A 2-minute preview video for Crash Course Physics was uploaded to YouTube on February 18, 2016. The series premiered March 31, 2016.
Computer Science[edit]
On February 15, 2017, a preview episode of Crash Course Computer Science was posted on the channel. It began on February 22 and is hosted by Carrie Anne Philbin.

Big History[edit]
In May 2014, John Green mentioned an upcoming 10-episode Crash Course season on Big History, funded by a grant from one of Bill Gates' organizations.[44] The series first aired on the channel of the Big History Project, rather than the Crash Course YouTube channel.
On August 19, 2014, the Big History Project channel began hosting episodes of a new co-hosted series, Crash Course Big History. This outlines the history of existence, from the Big Bang forward into the evolution of life. Both Green brothers host the series, with Emily Graslie participating as a guest host.[45]
On September 17, 2014, the first episode of Crash Course Big History was posted on the Crash Course YouTube channel, one month after its premiere on the Big History Project.
In March 2017, Emily Graslie noted on her Twitter feed that she would be participating in a new Big History miniseries.[46] The first episode of the second season was listed on the Crash Course channel on May 24, 2017; Graslie is the sole host for that season.[47]
Intellectual Property[edit]
In February 2015, John Green announced that Crash Course producer Stan Muller would host a seven episode miniseries on intellectual property.[35]
Crash Course Kids[edit]
On February 23, 2015, a new series, Crash Course Kids was announced through a video preview on its own YouTube channel. This series is hosted by Sabrina Cruz, known on YouTube as NerdyAndQuirky.[48]
Study Skills[edit]
On July 18, 2017, graphics team Thought Café tweeted an image of the Crash Course schedule which included Study Skills with Thomas Frank, set to start August 8.[49]
Recess[edit]
On March 5, 2018, the first episode in the Recess format was posted. According to its description, this will consist of 'short, fully animated episodes [which] are going to pop up a few times a year and will shed light on amazing stories from past or current Crash Course subjects that for one reason or another didn't make it into the shows.'
Human Geography[edit]
On October 12, 2016, the Crash Course YouTube channel uploaded a 90-second preview for Crash Course Human Geography. The course was to discuss 'what Human Geography isn't, and what it is, and discuss humans in the context of their world'. The series would have been hosted by Miriam Nielsen.
A premiere episode was posted on October 19, 2016, and a second the following week; however, both were removed on October 27. John Green posted to Twitter that '..we got important things wrong. We'll rework the series.. And we'll bring a better series to you in a few months.'[50] On October 31, 2016, John Green explained that the videos were removed due to 'factual mistakes as well as too strident a tone.' Green said it was caused by a rushed production stemming from staff and budgeting issues.[51]
In a Reddit AMA in October 2017, John Green indicated the course may not return for some time, stating 'we don't feel like we've cracked it yet.'[52]
Video release[edit]
DVD box sets of the complete run of the Biology series and of season 1 of World History were made available for pre-order on October 31, 2013.[53] In June 2016, the show's official site launched, providing free offline downloads of all episodes of every series completed to date.[54]

Easter eggs are hidden features or messages, inside jokes, and cultural references inserted into media. They are often well hidden, so that users find it gratifying when they discover them, helping form bonds between their creators and finders. Google's employees are encouraged to use 20% of their time for projects of personal interest, and Easter eggs are sometimes created during this. Google avoids adding Easter eggs to popular search pages, as they do not want to negatively impact usability.[2][3]

Search engine[edit]
As Google searches are case insensitive,[4] search terms are listed in lower case except where case sensitivity is explicitly referenced.
A Google web search for:
- 'a long time ago in a galaxy far far away' resulted in the same tilted, scrolling style that the introductions to the original Star Wars movies were presented in.[5] This included the music,[5] which was muted but could be heard by clicking on or selecting the muted speaker icon on the page. However, this no longer worked as of June 28, 2017.[6]
- 'anagram( see it )' shows 'Did you mean: nag a ram'.[7]
- 'define anagram( see it )' shows 'Did you mean: nerd fame again'.[8]
- 'anagram' and 'define anagram' also work in other languages. For example, a Google ES search for 'anagrama' shows Quizás quisiste decir: gama rana'.[9]

- Certain words related to these holidays, such as 'candy cane( see it )' and 'menorah( see it )' will also bring up these decorations.[citation needed]

- 'do a barrel roll( see it )' or 'z or r twice' causes the result page to do a Star Fox-style barrel roll.[20][21][11]
- 'drag queen' causes a rainbow to display next to the search results.[22]

It was added in celebration of its sequel – Avengers: Endgame. Clicking the gauntlet again restores the previously disintegrated results' content.[40][41]
- 'webdriver torso( see it )' turns the Google logo into moving colored blocks. This is a reference to an automated YouTube channel made by Google to test YouTube's performance. This does not work on mobile devices or when there is a Google Doodle on that day.[42][11]

Whichever is randomly selected may be opened, or the wheel may be spun again. It was added in celebration of Google's 19th birthday.[49]
Calculator[edit]
Late 2011, Google added a graphical calculator to search results,[68][69] using natural language processing to determine that search results might be mathematical in nature.[70][71] Woven into this feature are several, not entirely academic, results which might be considered Easter eggs.[72]
A Google web search for:
- 'baker's dozen( see it )' shows the additional result '1 baker's dozen = 13'[73]
- 'once in a blue moon( see it )' will give the additional result of 'once in a blue moon = 1.16699016 × 10−8 hertz'.[74]
- 'the answer to [the ultimate question of] life the universe and everything( see it )' provides the answer '42' as a result in reference to the Douglas Adams novel series, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.[20][11] It is believed to be the first Google Easter egg,[3] predating the calculator in which it is now revealed.
- 'the number of horns on a unicorn( see it )' shows the number '1' on the calculator.[74]
- 'what is the loneliest number( see it )' shows the number = '1' in the calculator.[75]
The result of multiple Easter eggs may be calculated; for example: 'the number of horns on a unicorn plus the answer to life the universe and everything( see it )' will return '43'.[73]
Image search[edit]
- A Google image search for 'atari breakout( see it )' starts a game of Breakout, using the gallery of image results as bricks. Once the bricks are destroyed, a random phrase is automatically searched, the player will add the extra ball, and the game will restart.[76][11]
Google Maps and Google Earth[edit]
- The world of the Harry Potter spin-off film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them may be explored with Google Street View. Visit New York City in 1926 as brought to life in the film, as well as the real locations today. Fans can visit MACUSA (Magical Congress of the USA); Steen National Bank, where Newt first meets Jacob Kowalski; the underground speakeasy The Blind Pig; and the magical apartment of Tina and Queenie Goldstein, two of the film’s key characters.( see it )[77]
- Another 3D buildings Easter egg involves a scene involving a bridge jump from The Blues Brothers, which is recreated in Google Earth at the Tacony–Palmyra Bridge linking New Jersey and Philadelphia.[74]
- With the release of Google Earth 5, the Mars feature allowed users to speak to a primitive ELIZA clone on the planet, by searching for 'Meliza'.[78]
- On July 20, 2005, the 36th anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon, Google debuted a version of Google Maps that included a small segment of the surface of the Moon. It is based entirely on NASA images and includes only a very limited region. Panning causes the map to tile. Zooming to the closest level used to show that the Moon was made of cheese.[79] The map also gives the locations of all Moon landings, and the Google Moon FAQ humorously mentions a connection to the Google Copernicus hoax, which Google claimed to be developing. Supposedly, by 2069, Google Local will support all lunar businesses and addresses.[79]
- In Street View, on Earls Court Rd, London, United Kingdom, a TARDIS from the science fiction series Doctor Who is on display. Street View allows one to enter the TARDIS( see it ) where it is 'Bigger on the Inside' and explore the set actually used in the show.[80][81]

- For April Fools' Day 2015, in certain areas in Google Maps, there was a button which started a game of Pac-Man, controlled by arrow keys and using the roads as paths for Pac-Man to travel along.[87]
- A similar feature was brought back for April Fools' Day 2017, allowing users to play a version of Ms. Pac-Man upon clicking the icon on the Google Maps webpage or mobile app.[88]
- In early test versions of Google Maps, searching for a route between locations separated by expanses of water (for example, Paris and New York City) provided road directions to the coast of the embarkation country (in this case, the west coast of France) before suggesting 'Swim the Atlantic Ocean (3,500 miles)' or another ocean for a different distance.[74]
- While Google Maps' walking directions were in beta, requesting them from the start point of 'The Shire' or 'Rivendell' to the destination of 'Mordor', the directions returned the warning: 'Use caution – One does not simply walk into Mordor.'[89]
- Searching for 'R'lyeh' would take users to the coordinates of the sunken city. It was listed as a 'Place of worship'.[90]
- Visiting 'Salford Lads' Club' with 3D buildings activated will show Morrissey of The Smiths at the entrance. The club was featured in the cover art of the Smiths' album The Queen Is Dead.[91]
- On Mario Day (March 10[92]) 2018, Google and Nintendo had partnered up to bring Mario into Google Maps mobile app worldwide for a week. A yellow icon with a question mark would show up at the bottom of the directions page, next to the start navigation button. Tapping on the icon would allow the user to have Mario and his kart as the navigation arrow. Tapping the icon 100 times would activate a 1-UP sound like in Nintendo's games.[93]
Pegman[edit]
- If the user navigates to Loch Ness( see it ), the lake can be seen from a street view and the Pegman looks like the Loch Ness Monster.[94]
- He is given special clothing for some widely observed special occasions: for Halloween he rides a broomstick; for Valentine's Day he stands upon a heart; and during Christmas week, he becomes a snowman and on certain hashtags like the #prideforeveryone hashtag he gets a certain object like a rainbow cape.[95]
- Around February 8, the launch day of Google Maps,[96] he appears dressed as a birthday cake.[97]
- When viewing past street views, he turns into Emmett 'Doc' Brown, one of the protagonists from the 'Back to the Future' universe.[98]
- When dragged into Legoland in Carlsbad, the Pegman turns into a Lego minifigure.[99]
- When dragged into Street View in Sun Valley, Idaho, he becomes a skier.[100]
- On Election Day the Pegman is wearing a Uncle Sam's hat and an 'I voted' button.[citation needed]

- When dragged onto Hawaii( see it ) or Florida( see it ), the Pegman becomes a mermaid, but only when close to the ocean. The figure reverts if dragged too far inland.[106] Pegman also turns into a mermaid when dragged to the vicinity of the Galápagos Islands.( see it )[citation needed]
- Dragging the Google Street View Pegman onto Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, CA used to display him with a tie-dyed shirt.[107]
- There is a place on the southern point of Half Moon Island, Antarctica that has blue roads. When the Pegman was dragged on this spot, the Pegman turned into a penguin and users could explore the area as if on roads. Penguins and a research team in red parkas can be seen at various points on these roads.[74]
- For the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the Pegman on Google Maps was a stormtrooper or an X-wing fighter pilot.[108]
- For the release of the video game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD for the Wii U, the Pegman was Link holding a Master Sword and a Hylian Shield.[109]
- For Google Street View's 10th birthday, the Pegman appears on both Maps and Street View as if he is celebrating a birthday, wearing a red and white striped miniature party hat and holding three pastel violet, pink, and blue balloons in his right hand.[110]
Google Translate[edit]
- On Monday, November 29, 2010, Reddit user 'harrichr' posted details of 'how to make Google beatbox for you!' and soon after, Robert Quigley reported the discovery in an article on 'geekosystem.com' (now The Mary Sue), stating that he was 'Not sure if this falls in the category of Easter Egg or clever manipulation' and that although he had 'No idea why', it transpired that using Google Translate to translate nonsense text of all consonants from German to German and clicking would result in machine generated speech that sounded like beatboxing. As time went on, redditors and other interested parties experimented with translation combinations, posting their results on sites including Hacker News where reader 'iamdave' is reported to have posted 'a pretty comprehensive Google Translate beatboxing guide'.[111][112] Three years later Time magazine published an article indicating that Google had acknowledged the existence of this feature with an Easter egg 'Beatbox' tooltip when hovering over the 'speaker icon' button after setting everything up to the aforementioned specification.[113]
- When using Google Translate to translate the German version of The Funniest Joke in the World ('Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!( see it )') to English, the result will be '[FATAL ERROR]'.[114]
Google homepage[edit]
- Rolling over the button causes the button text to spin, landing on a random phrase. Clicking on the button without text in the search bar will serve the corresponding web page.[115][116][117]

Google subpages[edit]
- When Ken Perlin visited Google February 2000, Sergey Brin asked him for a version of an interactive jumping heart character he'd created as a Java applet to be put on the Google site for Valentine's day. 'www.google.com/heart' will redirect to an archived page which is a preservation of the old, but still functional, Google interface, complete with the Valentine's heart and a banner that states 'This site is an old friend from Google’s past, kept in its original form. Enjoy!'[119][self-published source?]
- 'www.google.com/humans.txt( see it )' is a simple plain text file serving to remind its readers that Google is created by a large team of humans using many technologies. It asks for interested readers to visit their careers page.[120]
- 'www.google.com/killer-robots.txt' is a plain text file in robots.txt format.[121] It is no longer accessible as of November 28, 2018[citation needed].
- 'www.google.com/teapot( see it )' states, '418. I’m a teapot. The requested entity body is short and stout. Tip me over and pour me out.' Clicking on the picture of the teapot or tilting the mobile device will result in an animation of it pouring tea into a teacup. The web page is a reference to the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol.[122]
Android[edit]
- Since the version 2.3 (Gingerbread) of Google's Android operating system an Easter egg containing an animation has been hidden. The Easter egg can be accessed through the 'Settings' application, in the 'About phone' section, by repeatedly tapping the 'Android version' section. The animation is different in every version of the OS.[123]
- In 2.3 – 2.3.7 (Gingerbread) there is a painting of an Android next to a zombie gingerbread man, surrounded by zombies using cellphones.[124]
- In 3.0 – 3.2.6 (Honeycomb) there is a blue honeybee. Below it, there is the text 'REZZZZZZZ…' as a reference to Tron: Legacy.[citation needed]
- In 4.0 – 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) there is pixel art of an ice cream sandwich android. Long-pressing it will result in many ice cream sandwich androids flying across the screen, dubbed the 'nyan droid' as they are a tribute to Nyan Cat.[citation needed]
- In 4.1 – 4.3.1 (Jelly Bean) a red jelly bean appears, which if pressed will show its face along with the OS version. If this jelly bean is then long-pressed, an interactive jelly bean mini-game will appear. This is where one can fling the jelly beans around.[citation needed]
- In 4.4 (KitKat) a rotating letter 'K' appears, which if continually tapped turns into the text 'Android' in the styling of a KitKat logo. If the Android logo is then long-pressed or twisted with two fingers a tile interface, known as 'a daydream' called 'Dessert Case', loads with icons from all previous versions of Android. It appears to be a mock of the Windows Phone interface.[125]
- In 5.x (Lollipop) and 6.x (Marshmallow), a colored circle appears (or a circle with a stylized M inside in Marshmallow). If continuously tapped, it will turn into a lollipop with the text lollipop inside (or the M changes into a marshmallow in 6.x). Tapping the circle changes the color. When long-pressed, a game of Flappy Bird starts with the Android mascot instead. In Marshmallow, tapping the plus sign adds extra players (up to five), which can be controlled by the user or other players.[126][127]
- In 7.0 (Nougat), an 'N' appears, which will enable another Easter egg if tapped. This Easter egg, titled 'Android Neko' as a reference to the cat collecting mobile game Neko Atsume, can be accessed from the Quick Settings menu, and allows the user to create virtual treats, which will eventually attract kittens. The kittens can be viewed in a gallery-style screen. Additionally, long-pressing on the aforementioned 'N' repeatedly will alternate between displaying the no symbol and the cat face emojis, respectively toggling the Easter egg on and off. 'No' and 'cat' is a mondegreen for 'nougat'.[128]
- In 8.0 (Oreo), instead of the normal way of going to the Easter egg, heading to System > About Phone and tapping on the Android version repeatedly will launch the Easter egg. An orange circle appears, representing an 'O' for Oreo. Long pressing on the center will open a blue screen representing a sea with an octopus floating around. The 'O' in octopus represents Oreo while the eight legs on the octopus represent the version (8.0). The octopus can be moved by dragging the head around.[129]
- In 9.0 (Pie), the Easter egg is found by going to System > About Phone > Android version and then tapping three times on the Android version on the next screen. A white, extended 'P' will then appear, usually with concentric colored circles disappearing into the 'P'. Each time the Easter egg is invoked, it displays different colors. The animation can be pinched to zoom.[130]
- On Google Pixel phones (that run 9.0 Pie), tapping the 'P' icon several times will reveal a drawing app.[131]

- 'Spells' may be 'cast' on an Android phone by saying 'Ok Google' followed by 'Lumos' or 'Nox' to turn the flashlight on and off, or 'Silencio' to silence the ringer and notifications.[77]
Android applications[edit]
- In the Google Play Games app, if the player swipes the Konami Code, a box will appear with three buttons – a B, an A and an ►. Pressing B then A then ► unlocks a secret achievement called 'All your game are belong to us', a reference to the well known 'All your base are belong to us' phrase.[132]
- In the Google Allo app, sending the Konami Code to the Google Assistant by typing 'up up down down left right left right b a start' will respond with 'Cheat mode enabled'. Typing it again will respond with random statements relatable to the code.[citation needed]
- In the Google Phone (Dialer) app, inputting the 'Emergency Number' '0118 999 881 999 119 725 3', advertised to replace '999' in The IT Crowd's season 1 episode 'Calamity Jen', will cause the phone to vibrate and the call button to flash blue and red. The feature only works on stock Android Marshmallow and Android Nougat.[133][134][135]
- In Google+, if the device is shaken while viewing a photo, snow will fall; if the device is shaken again it will save an animated GIF of the image with falling snow to the pictures directory.[136]
- Searching for 'let's go caroling' or 'let's go carolling' on Google Now will result in an extra card which displays a list of Christmas carols. The phone will play the music and show the words if one of them is selected.[137]
- On YouTube Creator Studio, swiping down the screen repeatedly will show a cat at the top of the screen.[138]
- Entering the tabview on the Google Chrome App and swiping up on a tab five times will cause the tab do a backflip.[139]
- Opening more than 99 tabs in the Google Chrome App will result in ':D' shown instead of the number of opened tabs.[139]
- Tapping on the dinosaur, which is shown if the Google Chrome App is not able to connect to internet, will start a 'jump and run' game.[139] (See also the Chrome section below)
YouTube[edit]
- On YouTube for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and on YouTube TV, holding rewind (left on a gamepad thumbstick, left ← or J on a keyboard) for a few seconds while at the beginning of a video, will cause an animated image of a small dog to run across the video's progress bar.[140][141]
- On a video published by Numberphile on June 22, 2012, titled 'Why do YouTube views freeze at 301?( see it )', the view count was frozen at 301,[142][31] referencing the bug in the now-changed subject behavior.[143]
- Adding '&wadsworth=1' to a video URL would apply 'Wadsworth's constant', skipping the first 30% of the video.[144]
- Whilst viewing any video, typing 'awesome' makes the progress bar and other player elements flash multicolored. Typing 'awesome' again stops it.[145]
- YouTube's robots.txt file at 'www.youtube.com/robots.txt( see it )' states that it was 'Created in the distant future (the year 2000) after the robotic uprising of the mid 90's which wiped out all humans.'[146] This is an ostensible reference to the song 'Robots' by Flight of the Conchords.[147]
- When the live-stream countdown reaches 24 hours before it is scheduled to start, a 'Dawn of The Final Day -24 Hours Remain-' is shown along with a sound effect, referencing the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.[citation needed]
- On December 12, 2015, in celebration of the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the progress bar was changed in order to look like a Lightsaber. By signing up to a specially created page, users were able to follow the Light Side (which would change the progress bar to blue) or the Dark Side (which would change the progress bar to red). Account users had the option to return the effect to normal. Google disabled it for all users, February 1, 2016.[148] Along with this, mousing over the volume controls would play a lightsaber sound like it was turned on, and mousing off of it would play a power off sound.[citation needed]
- A Snake game could be activated in the Adobe Flash player by pressing a combination of arrow keys whilst videos were paused or playing. Once started, the snake could be controlled by further use of the arrow keys, directing it to 'gobble up dots' to increase its size. If the snake hit the edges of the video window, the game ended.[149][150] The feature no longer works with the HTML5 video player.[151]
- When watching a video with 'fidget spinner( see it )' in the title, the buffering icon would change into a spinning fidget spinner.[152]The Fidget Spinner that replaces the buffering icon
- The title of the video 'Too Many Cooks( see it )', a surrealdark comedyshort by Adult Swim, is yellow and in the Georgia font, mimicking the video's theme.[citation needed]
Search[edit]
A YouTube search for:
- 'beam me up scotty', a reference to Star Trek, would cause the search results to beam down onto the screen, as in Star Trek.[153]
- 'doge meme' changes the font on the search result page to pastel color Comic Sans typical of the Doge meme.[154]
- 'do the harlem shake' will cause the Harlem Shake song to play and the results to dance around.[155]
- 'use the Force luke' causes the results to levitate, as if by the Force mentioned in Star Wars.[46]
- 'webdriver torso' will return the results but with a red background and a blue rectangle around some videos. It also says '
aqua.flv – Slide 000[0–9]
' at the bottom left of the page. This is a reference to the Webdriver Torso mystery. Google has confirmed that it is behind the Webdriver Torso mystery; it is one of many test channels used by YouTube to ensure video quality.[156] - Searching 'yanny' shows 'Did you mean: laurel', and vice versa. This is a reference to Yanny or Laurel, an auditory illusion that became popular in May 2018.[citation needed]
Chrome[edit]
- If the user tries to browse when offline, a message is shown that they are not connected to the Internet. An illustration of the 'Lonely T-Rex' dinosaur is shown at the top, designed by Sebastien Gabriel.[157][158][11] From September 2014, tapping the dinosaur (in Android or iOS) or pressing space or ↑ (on desktop) launches a browser game called 'T-Rex Runner' in which the player controls a running dinosaur by tapping the screen (in Android or iOS) or pressing space, ↑ or ↓ (on desktop) to avoid obstacles, including cacti and, from June 2015, pterodactyls. In 2016, another feature was added to the game. When the player reaches 700 points the game begins to switch between day (white background, black lines and shapes) and night (black background, white lines and shapes). During September 2018, for Google Chrome's 10th birthday, a birthday cake causing the dinosaur to wear a birthday hat when collected was added.[159] Reaching a score of 900 will switch the colour scheme back to day, and the switch back and forth will occur at further subsequent milestones.[158][160][161][162] The game is also available at the 'chrome://network-error/-106( see it )' and 'chrome://dino'[not in citation given] pages.[163] The game's code is available on the Chromium site.[161]
- In the Apps splash page at 'chrome://apps( see it )', a comment can be found under the body header that reads 'A div to hold all the templates, and in the darkness bind them'. This is a reference to the One Ring featured in The Lord of the Rings series by J. R. R. Tolkien.[citation needed]
- In the About Chrome page at 'chrome://settings/help', clicking on the Chrome icon will cause it to spin.[citation needed]
Chrome OS[edit]
- In the Camera app, activating caps lock and typing 'CRAZYPONY' will open the files app and prompt the user to select a video file. Users can then add filters and take screenshots of the video.[139]
- The keyboard shortcutctrl+alt+⇧ Shift+refresh causes the current window to spin (Barrel Roll).[164]

- Pressing Ctrl+⇧ Shift+Y in the Picasa desktop application will cause a teddy bear to appear on the screen. Note that the Picasa application no longer exists, as it was replaced by Google Photos.[165]
- In the Google I/O 2013 page, 'instrument.github.io/google-io-2013/( see it )', one can click the letters '
I
' and 'O
' to input passwords.[166][167][168] - In Google Glass, tapping Settings -> Device info -> View licenses, then tapping the touchpad 9 times, will show a Tap Meet Team option. Tapping again will show a photo of the Google Glass development team.[169]
- Any photograph with Christmas lights uploaded to Google+ will be turned into an animated GIF, showing sparkling lights.[137]
- On the Google Play Store, clicking the search button with a blank search field will search 'unicorns'.[170]
- In Google's iPhone and iPod touch search application, swiping downwards (past About) repeatedly in the Settings interface brings up a hidden menu item, called Bells and Whistles, allowing customization of colors, sounds and more within the app. However, this no longer works as of the newer app updates.[171]
- On Google Forms, entering the table flip emoticon '(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻' as the title will cause the interface to flip and replace the title with '┬─┬ノ(°_°ノ)'[citation needed]
- The model numbers for the first generation Chromecast unit and its power adapter read H2G2-42 and MST3K-US, respectively.[172]
- The password for Project Fi data only SIM cards is h2g2, another reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[173]
- In Sheets, as to celebrate LGBT pride, typing 'PRIDE' in cells A1-E1 with each individual letter in each cell will make change the fill color of columns to make a rainbow.[174][175]
