Google hops on to the 6-7 (six seven) meme trend with Search page animation

Google has a new little joke baked into Google Search: type “6-7” (or a couple of close variants) and the results page briefly starts bouncing around like a seesaw.​

I can confirm that this does work. The page gets animated with the 6-7 bounce (a seesaw-type wiggle), and it looks exactly like the kind of playful UI gag Google usually reserves for Easter eggs.

I could also get the Easter egg to trigger with the following searches: 67, 6-7, and “six seven”. Here’s a short screen recording I captured that shows the effect:

This particular one started circulating after a user posted about it on Reddit, where we spotted it. That post, however, has since moderated because the OP apparently included identifying info, but the Easter egg itself is still live.

If you’ve somehow avoided the 6-7 brainworm until now, the short version is that it’s a viral call-and-response slang bit that’s jumped from TikTok-style videos into real life, often paired with a hand-motion gesture that looks a little like juggling.

The Independent traces the trend’s mainstream momentum to rapper Skrilla’s “Doot Doot (6 7)” and says it spread further through meme clips that feature NBA player LaMelo Ball.​

It’s also become notorious for being disruptive in classrooms, to the point that teachers have tried everything from point penalties to writing assignments just to get kids to stop doing it mid-lesson.​

And it’s not only schools getting fed up. Earlier this month, In-N-Out confirmed it removed “67” from its internal order-number flow after teens kept waiting for that number and reacting loudly when it was called.​

Google has been sprinkling Easter eggs into Search and other products since the 2000s, but it’s also historically been cautious about messing with “popular search pages” in ways that could impact usability. So when Google chooses to riff on a trend that’s actively spilling into the offline world, it’s usually because the meme has gotten too big to ignore.​
