Google在每年的[[愚人节]]有制造玩笑的传统。2000年愚人节，Google推出MentalPlex（意念搜索），号称能以思维意念的力量来进行网络搜索。<ref name="mentalplex">{{cite web |url=//www.google.com/mentalplex/ |title=Google MentalPlex |date=2000-04-01 |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100921223048/http://www.google.com/mentalplex/ |archive-date=2010-09-21 |dead-url=no }}</ref> 2007年，Google则宣传发布一套名为TiSP（厕所互联网服务提供者）的免费服务，用户可以凭借将Google所提供的[[光导纤维]]电缆的一头冲到厕所下水管道之内来获取宽带服务。<ref name="TiSP">{{cite web |url=//www.google.com/tisp/ |title=Welcome to Google TiSP |date=2007-04-01 |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100709034300/http://www.google.com/tisp/ |archive-date=2010-07-09 |dead-url=no }}</ref>同在2007年，Google在[[Gmail]]页面上展示即将推出Gmail Paper服务的提示，称将可以满足替用户把邮件打印到纸上并运送给收件人的要求。<ref name="gmail_paper">{{cite web |url=//mail.google.com/mail/help/paper/more.html |title=Google Paper |date=2000-04-01 |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110224341/https://mail.google.com/mail/help/paper/more.html |archive-date=2013-11-10 |dead-url=no }}</ref> 2008年，Google说Gmail的用户将可以更改已发送邮件的发送时间。<ref>{{Cite news |url=//mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html |title=Gmail Custom Time: Google makes custom time |date=2011-04-14 |work=Google |publisher=Google |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131104095816/http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html |archive-date=2013-11-04 |dead-url=no }}</ref> 2010年的愚人节，为了回应[[堪萨斯]]首府[[托皮卡|托皮卡城]]市长之前为了申请[[Google光纤]]而颁布法令将城市名暂时改为Google，Google戏剧性地把公司名改为Topeka以纪念該城市。<ref name="Google Blog: A Different Kind of Company Name">{{cite web |url=http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/different-kind-of-company-name.html |title=A different kind of company name |last1=Schmidt |first1=Eric |date=2010-04-01 |work=Official Google Blog |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100530151231/http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/different-kind-of-company-name.html |archive-date=2010-05-30 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/01/business/main6353136.shtml |title=April Fools: Google Changes Name to Topeka |date=2010-04-01 |work=CBS News |publisher=CBS Interactive, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100404073306/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/01/business/main6353136.shtml |archive-date=2010-04-04 |dead-url=no }}</ref> 2011年的玩笑则名为Gmail运动，号称用户可以通过[[摄像头]]前做肢体运动来控制Gmail或计算机。<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/216708/technology/googles-gmail-motion-launched-april-1 |title=Google's GMail Motion launched April 1 |date=2011-04-01 |work=GMA News |publisher=GMA News |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110403120941/http://www.gmanews.tv/story/216708/technology/googles-gmail-motion-launched-april-1 |archive-date=2011-04-03 |dead-url=no }}</ref> 2013年的愚人節則推出[[Google嗅覺]]，號稱為一個測試版的香味[[資料庫]]，使用戶可以透過大部分的螢幕聞到各種味道。<ref>{{Cite web | url=//www.google.com/landing/nose/ | title=Google Nose | publisher=Google, Inc. | access-date=2019-04-29 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150703224726/https://www.google.com/landing/nose/ | archive-date=2015-07-03 | dead-url=no }}</ref>

除了在愚人节会开一些玩笑之外，制作[[复活节彩蛋|彩蛋]]也是Google的保留项目。例如Google在搜索引擎的语言选择上非常滑稽的加入了提线木偶剧{{Link-en|丹麦厨师|Swedish Chefe}}中的“Bork bork bork”语言、[[儿童黑话]]、黑客语、卡通人物{{Link-en|Elmer Fudd|Elmer Fudd}}的语言、《[[星际迷航]]》中的[[克林贡语]]等等。<ref>{{cite web |url=//www.google.com/language_tools |title=Language Tools |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5hT77QDRS?url=http://www.google.com/language_tools |archive-date=2009-06-12 |dead-url=no }}</ref> Google搜索还能够计算并提供[[生命、宇宙以及任何事情的终极答案]]（''The answer to life, the universe, and everything''，出自于[[道格拉斯·亚当斯]]的[[科幻小说]]《[[银河系漫游指南]]》）。<ref>{{cite web |url=//www.google.com/search?q=answer+to+life+the+universe+and+everything |title=Google Search Results for 'answer to life the universe and everything' |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190313043759/https://www.google.com/search?q=answer+to+life+the+universe+and+everything |archive-date=2019-03-13 |dead-url=no }}</ref>此外，当一个人搜索单词「recursion」（递归）时，系统中的拼写检查会给你一个“纠错”链接，显示的建议依旧是「recursion」这个单词然后一直如此循环。<ref>{{cite web |url=//www.google.com/search?q=recursion |title=Google Search Results for 'recursion' |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190313043805/https://www.google.com/search?q=recursion |archive-date=2019-03-13 |dead-url=no }}</ref>类似的彩蛋还有，当搜索单词「anagram」（一种颠倒字母顺序的字谜）时，Google提供的建议会显示“你是不是在找nag a ram？”<ref>{{cite web |url=//www.google.com/search?q=anagram |title=anagram search |publisher=Google, Inc. |access-date=2019-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130624205429/http://www.google.com/search?q=anagram |archive-date=2013-06-24 |dead-url=no }}</ref>如果[[Google地图]]中在间隔大片水域的两个地点之间搜寻路线，比如从[[洛杉矶]]到[[东京]]，搜索结果会建议“划[[独木舟]]穿越[[太平洋]]”。如果你在[[Google搜尋]]上搜尋"do a barrel roll"，頁面會順時針旋轉一圈（按[https://www.google.com/search?q=do+a+barrel+roll&rlz=1C5CHFA_enTW958TW958&oq=do+&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l3j69i60l5.4581j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 這裡] {{Wayback|url=https://www.google.com/search?q=do+a+barrel+roll&rlz=1C5CHFA_enTW958TW958&oq=do+&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l3j69i60l5.4581j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 |date=20210714010616 }}以查看實際效果）。在[[2010年世界杯足球赛]]期间，搜索关键词若是“[[世界杯]]”、“[[FIFA]]”等，就会导致Google页面底部原为「Goooo...gle」的页面指标变成「Goooo...al!」。<ref>{{cite web | url=http://asia.cnet.com/crave/google-celebrates-world-cup-with-gooooooooooal-62111461.htm | title=Google celebrates World Cup with Gooooooooooal! | publisher=CNET Asia | date=2010-06-09 | author=Chan, John | access-date=2019-04-29 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810073203/http://asia.cnet.com/crave/google-celebrates-world-cup-with-gooooooooooal-62111461.htm | archive-date=2011-08-10 | dead-url=no }}</ref>
