U.K.-based humor site Us Vs Them discovered that running a celebrity’s Twitter profile photo through Google Image Search’s “visually similar” feature doesn’t always produce the results you’d expect. They tested it out using pics of famous countrymen like Stephen Fry, Paul Daniels, and Jeremy Kyle. 

The images they got back were hilarious, so we ran some of America’s most beloved celebrities through the same search. Here’s what happened:
