For anyone who wants to try digging through Google's mangled mess of JS embeds: I'm curious, does Google embed the logic for these easter eggs in the common JS that comes along with every SERP, or only on the page that has the easter-egg itself?


Search lazy loads the easter eggs, there's way too many to load them all on every search request.

In general Google product's JS is built around a lot of lazy loading bundles.


Is there a way to disable them? I hate to be distracted, especially at work.


Do you find yourself searching "dvd bouncing logo" for work quite often?


No, but sometimes the Google logo itself is a distracting animation (I believe they call them "Doodle" or "Knoodle" or something).


You can use an adblocker to remove whatever you like from a webpage you regularly visit, not just ads


Exactly once, in order to make it look like one of the TVs on our display wall, that was very much connected to a computer, was in fact connected to an old DVD player.


Lazy means you only get them when you search for them.
