hecklerspray always knows what you’re thinking. Always.

We bet - for example - that your brain is currently going: "Brilliant! Another magnificent instalment of Disturbing Friday Fun - that superb weekly hecklerspray feature in which they point out a bizarre and often pointless side of the internet and make me look at it! Yes!"

And you’re probably also thinking: "You know what I’d like to do? I’d like to organise a strange symbolic fight between random concepts, the victor of which is based on the number of Google results they can cobble together."

To which we say: it’s your lucky day. Get ready for Google Fight.

Google Fight basically allows you the ability to pitch two opponents against each other and see who wins - the champion of the fight being determined by however many millions of billions of Google hits they can reach.

There is absolutely no reason for this. But - gosh - is it fun.

Rich old wig-wearer Donald Trump, for example, beat crap 1980’s sports ’star’ Eddie The Eagle by approximately four million entries. The tasty sandwich filler of Tuna and Sweetcorn came a pitiful second when stacked against the horrific skin disease leprosy. As for the much vaunted face-off between The Chuckle Brothers and Brent Cross Shopping Centre… well, you’ll just have to find out for yerselves.

Why not try creating your own amusing and slightly ironic Google Fights? And then posting the results in the comments box below? And then telling all your friends about it? And then being slightly surprised when they all make their excuses and shuffle away, leaving you all alone, sad and frightened and crying shameful tears?

Why not, eh? Why not?

    I hate the way that I’m no longer able to have fun doing this sort of thing anymore without feeling like I’m Nathan Barley. Whatever I do I feel like Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris are sneering at me.
