Whenever you search for something on Google, the brilliant search engine auto-fills terms that may or may not be what you are looking for. Google comes up with these suggestions automatically by compiling information based on what you have searched in the past, where you are located, and what language you use. This feature was cleverly exploited by the company to create their 2009 Superbowl commercial, an ad that told a story of a Parisian romance entirely through Google searches. Auto-fill can spew poetry, as in the Tumblr Google Poetics, but mostly it's downright funny. To find out what happens when you search well-known artists, we put together a list of Funny Google Searches for Your Favorite Artists.
