Why must i watch this and shed some tears. R.I.P to all we lost in 2020. Here comes 2021 .

[ogmoiz]

Meanwhile Bing's year in search 2020:
*1."Google".*

Edit: due to the popularity of this comment, I've just gone ahead and made my own 2020 rewind. Watch if you want.

[pyglik]

0:53 "It's still march. How many days... in march?"
The most 2020 thing to say.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

It wasn’t the greatest year for everybody, but for those who made it until the end, let’s be grateful that we did.

Rest In Peace to the lives lost that year.

Me: on incognito tab

google: *_nice try_*

[milaamour]

Seeing Kobe and Gigi, Chadwick and all the lives lost this year hurt me to my core, I’m praying for everyone who lost a loved one and those still hurting . Much love, we got this ❤️

End of 2020 really be feeling like the end of a movie

[thomasbledsoe]

I’m back here because I just watched the 2022 year in search and although the narration is gone and it feels like production value has gone down it still makes me smile and tear up and remember we humans are AMAZING for everything we’ve destroyed we can repair.

Up until now, I didn't know there was a Google Rewind.

Anyone clicked that little thing on the bottom of the screen?

[tonycabral]

I was high-key hoping for Alex Trebek to be at the end saying, "Because life's greatest answers are asked in the form of a question."

[lizzy]

Google: This year, the world searched "why" more than ever.
Me: Why did people search "why" more than ever?

[zzzemoji]

i feel like i just watched a 3 minutes Google ad on purpose

[jordanr]

Google: This year, the world searched "why" more than ever.
Me: Why did people search "why" more than ever???

[aeenak_]

That 2 seconds of Chadwick, The Black Panther😭

[WigglyTuffStuff]

Here at the end of 2022 and these memories still bring me to tears. It was a hard year but we are resilient.

[ansley]

My next search: why did i just get tears in my eyes from a Google ad...

[teogrunhut]

"why is it 11:61 on December 31st?"

*sweats nervously*

[jusbcurlee]

At the end of 2023 this still brings so many tears. I am so proud of all of you that made it through and are continuing to push cuz the 20s have been quite a wild ride!!!

[TheHasibur]

End of 2020
Best of luck everyone for 2021

[bluefly]

YouTube Rewind: Cancelled

Google: Fine, I’ll do it myself
