Turns out if you Google askew the page becomes askew.

If you Google do a barrel roll the screen will too.

Anyone know any other Easter eggs?

Also not really an easter egg, but google.com/pacman is the Google Pac-Man logo game. Insert 2 coins for 2 player with Ms. Pac-Man.

Star Fox, "DO A BARREL ROLL!" That is funny. But that is the only one I know so far. So... *Googles it*

1) Searching xx-klingon will make everything on the page be in the klingon (star trek) language (https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=xx-klingon)

2) Searching for "anagram" shows "Did you mean: nag a ram"

3) Searching for "tilt" or "askew" using a Webkit based browser (such as Google Chrome, Safari, Epiphany, or Android/iOS built-in browsers) or a recent version of Firefox (7+), makes the page 'lean' to the right a bit.

Those are 3 funny ones I found.

Usually Googling a special term like "ASCII art" or "number of horns on a unicorn" will make something funny pop up. Also, it seems to get really specific about when "once in a blue moon" is.
And let's just say that, in order to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.

I know there exists something known as "Google bombing" that could possibly seem like an Easter egg. That's where a lot of people use a link with misleading text to lead to an irrelevant site, so when people search for the misleading text, they'll be more likely to see the site at the top. This one isn't specifically just Google, though. It can happen to Microsoft's index too, causing the same on Bing and Yahoo!. A popular example is "miserable failure," which was tricked through this method to direct to George W. Bush's personal site on the White House site.

People did it by doing stuff like this:
sites to browse when bored (YouTube)
buy an imac (Microsoft Windows)
fix blue screen of death (Kubuntu)
cat333pokemon's fun house (Victory Road)
If enough people put links like those on their sites, then YouTube will come up high in results when people search "sites to browse when bored," for example.
