Emojis aren’t the only substitute for eye rolls and angry facial expressions when communicating via text. On Tuesday, December 3, Google released its 2019 GIF search trends, a list of the most searched GIFs and most shared mini-animations of the year. And with slang like “psh” and “oop,” the list suggests we’ve moved on to 2019.
The off-putting “psh” tops the list of most searched slang terms, with YouTube comedian Ed Bassmaster’s GIFs among the top results. This is followed by “up”, the word for when you don’t have a word, as Urban Dictionary calls it. The slang that replaces hidden facial expressions when communicating via text continues to top the list of GIF trends for 2019, with “oh man” in fourth place and “not happy” in 10th place.
“Hustle” was the third most searched GIF. “Peasant” and “Daddy’s Joke” came in fifth and sixth place, followed by “no regrets”, “everything” and the beast.
In addition to the most searched GIFs, Google also compiled a list of the most shared GIFs comparing data from 2018. Best GIF of 2019 — Annoyed Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch, the pull of the lids seems fitting for the ultimate eye-rolling moments of the year. Stich made the list again in third place, this time, crying in the rain.
Jim Carrey pulls his hair and screams in a scene from Liar liar where his lawyer character reveals he can’t lie is the second most shared GIF of the year, according to Google. The list also includes the spitting and laughing favorite at number four, Will Ferrell from Elf screaming no at number five and Ted saying wow. Movie star facial expressions continue to be favorites in the back half of the list, with the Will Smith-era Fresh Prince of Bel-Air “oh, smack,” Medea’s shake of the head, and the creepy smile from Toddlers in Tiaras.
And if you’re wondering what GIFs to share this holiday season, Google has a list for that, too. Elf is a safe bet, with scenes from the movie taking the top spot, as well as two other spots on the list. 90s classics are also good, with Fresh Prince in second and Home Alone in third.
The data comes from the Tenor GIF Keyboard iOS app. Tenor now powers GIF searches in Google products as well as other platforms after Google acquired the company last year.
