There were also some variations on these searches due to capitalization, shortening etc. but we also decided to keep looking a bit. Searches of note: Gamergate came in at #30 on the list, cosplay at #34, Tom Hiddleston searches landed at #46 (shocking, I know! Loki was at #77), recaps from the brightest timeline at #63 (Dan and Glen thank you for trying to find them), Batgirl beat out Batman by a very close margin to take our #69 spot, and Weird Al was #100.

Things searched just a handful of times this year:

  • sex space
  • silver spoon
  • kitty
  • Cat
  • sexi vedo xxx
  • sex for all
  • capaldi sexi
  • 2013
  • nice guy
  • blo0p

Thank you, once again. Happy searching next year!
