Google's '6 7' Easter Egg Makes Search Pages Bounce

Viral prompts on TikTok, alongside Instagram Reels, resurfaced a built-in nod to a long‑running meme.

Overview

  • Typing '6 7' in Google triggers an intentional animation that makes the results page bounce rather than a glitch.
  • The effect references a viral courtside clip of a boy chanting “six seven” while moving his hands up and down.
  • The Easter egg existed quietly until a recent spike as creators on TikTok and Instagram Reels urged viewers to try it and recorded the shaking screens.
  • Reporting explains that “6 7” evolved into a visual cue for the distinctive bouncing motion rather than a fixed literal meaning.
  • Some outlets also link the trend to a Skrilla track featuring G Herbo and to basketball imagery such as LaMelo Ball’s 6'7" listing, underscoring layered origins.
