Tired Of Doing Barrel Rolls? 22 Google Easter Eggs You HAVEN'T Heard About
“Do a barrel roll!” a virtual dogfighting rabbit screamed into a virtual dogfighting fox’s ear in Starfox 64 and BAM! 14 years later, a Google Easter egg was born. Dorky? Sure. Awesome? Yep. And that’s not even getting into the ironic fact that Peppy Hare – an old male rabbit with a grown daughter – has somehow changed genders and is now laying Easter eggs of his own. Peppy may be surprised from the sudden turn of events, but we’re not: Google has a long, storied history of dropping arcane, geektastic tidbits in the dark corners of its products. And we’re here to show them to you!
Ranging from Google search fun to dragon slaying and talking Martians, all of these Easter eggs are still around and fully functional, unlike some other hidden Google gems that have disappeared into the gaping Internet abyss (we’re looking at you, Google Maps). Fire up your favorite browser and go check them out for yourself!

Thanks for the fun list. One thing though, the Swedish Chef was a Muppet not a Sesame Street character

Awesome list. Though a bunch of these don't work anymore. Most notably the Chuck Norris and the ascii art easter eggs.

Hahaha these made my day. Awesome list. I like the "tilt" and chuck norris ones. I remember they changed their name for april fools day to some small town that had changed its name to google.
Google proves the internet isn't just about "serious business".
