For anyone who wants to try digging through Google's mangled mess of JS embeds: I'm curious, does Google embed the logic for these easter eggs in the common JS that comes along with every SERP, or only on the page that has the easter-egg itself?

Search lazy loads the easter eggs, there's way too many to load them all on every search request.

In general Google product's JS is built around a lot of lazy loading bundles.

Is there a way to disable them? I hate to be distracted, especially at work.

Lazy means you only get them when you search for them.

Do you find yourself searching "dvd bouncing logo" for work quite often?

No, but sometimes the Google logo itself is a distracting animation (I believe they call them "Doodle" or "Knoodle" or something).

Exactly once, in order to make it look like one of the TVs on our display wall, that was very much connected to a computer, was in fact connected to an old DVD player.
