Why Does the Screen Shake When You Type "67" into Google?

A phenomenon that has gone viral on social media in recent days, baffling users, is dominating the headlines: when you type “67” into the Google search engine, the results page shakes noticeably. While users wondered if there was a problem with their devices, the answer to the question “Why does the screen shake when I type 67 into Google?” came from artificial intelligence assistants.

AI Answers

The reason for this visual effect, which has attracted the attention of many social media users, was explained by the AI applications Grok, ChatGPT, and Gemini with different cultural and historical references. The AI applications’ interpretations revealed interesting statements and possible connections related to this amusing event.

ChatGPT, focusing on one of the most popular explanations for the phenomenon, described it as an “Easter Egg”:

“When you type ’67’ into Google and search, the results page shows a slight up-and-down or wobbling animation. This is designed as a fun visual effect stemming from internet memes (especially the ‘6-7’ or ‘six seven’ meme trend). This wobbling doesn’t mean there’s a hardware problem with your phone screen. It’s simply a visual joke by Google Search (the web browser) playing with the page. If the wobbling only occurs with a ’67’ search, then it’s a fun ‘Easter Egg’ from Google.”

Grok, however, offered a contemporary interpretation of the event by linking it to a reference close to popular culture:

“When you search ‘67’ on Google, the page shakes because it’s an ‘Easter Egg’ referencing the viral ‘6-7’ meme of 2025 (Skrilla’s song and hand gesture). The screen mimics the ‘juggling’ movement in the meme. Even In-N-Out has been influenced by it!”

Google’s own AI assistant, Gemini, linked the origin of this hidden feature to a more historical and sporting event:

“The screen shaking when you type ’67’ into Google is one of the fun and hidden features (Easter Eggs) that Google has added to its search engine. This is because the number 67 is associated with a specific context:

Basketball and the NBA Championship: This shaking effect is generally a reference to the Philadelphia 76ers team that won the 1967 NBA Championship. It is thought to be a celebratory gesture attributed to Billy Cunningham, one of the players on the 76ers team that won the championship in 1967, or an effect reflecting the basketball enthusiasm of that era. The ‘shaking’ or ‘vibrating’ of the screen is a dynamic visual effect symbolizing an enthusiastic celebration or the shaking of the basketball net.”

In conclusion, while AI assistants point to different origins, the common opinion is that Google intentionally added this shaking effect as a fun ‘Easter Egg’. It seems users’ devices don’t have any technical problems, and the search engine is simply playing a little joke on them.
