The Google Assistant might be one of the best AI helpers out there, but along with so much knowledge comes pop culture references, memes, and even the odd surprise in the form of easter eggs.
Every single pop culture reference and easter egg should work across your Android smartphone, Google Nest Hub, Nest Mini, Home Mini, Home, and all other Assistant-powered hardware including any third-party devices that include Google’s AI helper baked in. We can’t guarantee that each option will work in your specific region, but we have tested almost all options using the US and UK English. We’re sure there are even more regional options available in other languages, too.
All in all, there are probably well over 200 — which is a low estimate — or so easter eggs baked into the Google Assistant that reference everything from the Star Wars series to The Shining. After sifting through, we have refined them down to some of the best. Who knows, we might expand to cover the complete Google Assistant easter egg list…

There are a ton of TV and movie references hidden within the Google Assistant, with timed exclusive commands being available at certain times or in the wake of cultural phenomena like Game of Thrones. While most are simply easter eggs, you can even use actual working commands from a certain wizard-focused film and book series:
Gaming is one area that the Google Assistant has developed in recent years, but there are some neat easter eggs that are an out-and-out nod to global video game heritage. Unfortunately, the full list is not quite as extensive as other pop culture areas. Hopefully, we’ll see Google expand the gaming easter eggs in the future, though:
■ Konami code
○ Up, up, down, down, left, right, B, A
■ Dungeons and Dragons
○ Roll the dice
○ Roll a 20-sided dice
○ Roll two 6-sided dice
■ Portal
○ Do you know GlaDos
○ Is the cake a lie?
■ Star Fox Adventures
○ Do a barrel roll
