  • Searching for "suicide" will bring up a message directing you to call a suicide hotline if you need one.
  • Similarly, as of the doodle for Herbert Kleber, searching for "drug addiction" and similar topics will cue up a number to call someone who can help.
  • A Google Doodle during the 2014 FIFA World Cup showing a cartoon version of Paul the Octopus in heaven.
  • The October 28, 2014 doodle celebrating the hundredth birthday of the deceased Jonas Salk, the man who developed the polio vaccine.
  • A more minor example, but it's quite sweet that Google Chrome implemented the dinosaur game, so people could still be entertained even when their internet crapped out.
  • Their 2013 doodle for Claude Debussy's birthday, set to none other than his Signature Song Clair de Lune.
  • The famous Super Bowl 2010 ad, AKA "Parisian Love".
  • On April Fools' Day 2011, due to the devastation from the Tohoku disaster, Google Japan forewent a traditional April Fools joke and showed never-before-seen drawings by Japanese schoolchildren from the 2009 Doodle 4 Google, themed "What I Love About Japan". The official statement: "We promised that only the top prize winners would be featured on Google, but as this is the only day where lies are forgiven, we have obtained the other children's understanding."
  • The September 21, 2018 doodle marking the anniversary of the first taping of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Of course it had to be listed here. It's Mister Rogers.
  • The May 22, 2020 doodle, which celebrates Zimbabwe's Mbira instrument, and features a nice story about a little girl growing up and learning to play it.
  • The Halloween 2017 Google doodle is adorable! To summarize, the previous year's doodle featured a magical cat named Momo performing spells to fight against ghosts. For 2017, the doodle features the previous year's cat and some friends going trick-or-treating. While this is happening, a shy, non-scary ghost watches them and wants to join them. He tries on various costumes, which all go awry, until he decides to go as a Bedsheet Ghost. Momo, while trick-or-treating, drops her hat, causing the ghost to give it back, until the wind blows away his sheets revealing him to be a real ghost. Rather than being scared, however, Momo smiles and gives the ghost her hat, and she and her friends end up going trick-or-treating with their new friend.
