By now we imagine everyone is aware of the meme of Wicked: For Good‘s Michelle Yeoh doing the “flip it around bit”, and Google has joined in on the fun.
The meme started on the Wicked: For Good press tour when Michelle Yeoh was talking about her character in the Wicked films, Madame Morrible, and how she is actually the true ‘Wicked Witch’, not Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo).
In numerous interviews Yeoh has repeated: “Madame Morrible – M, M, flip it around, Wicked Witch!”
And that, like many things before it in the social media age, has taken on a life of its own, becoming a viral trend on platforms such as TikTok.
And it appears that the team at Google have wanted a piece of the action too and have set up a fun Easter egg for Wicked fans.
If you Google ‘Madame Morrible’ the browser takes you to a page of results about the character. But at the top, where it would usually provide a suggestion if you’ve spelt something wrong in your search terms, the web page reads: “Flip it around… Did you mean: wicked witch.”
Users can click on ‘Wicked Witch’ where they are taken to a new page all about The Wicked Witch of the West.
It’s a fun tie-in to Wicked: For Good as well as meme culture.
Premiering at the end of November, the film has made approximately $444,234,190 (£332,167,231) as reported by Box Office Mojo.
Earlier this week, Erivo and Ariana Grande were both nominated for Golden Globes again for their roles as Elphaba and Glinda respectively.
Erivo made history becoming the first Black woman to be nominated twice in the lead actress musical/comedy category.
