On November 8th millions of Americans headed to their local poling stations to choose between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. In the end, Clinton was easily trumped and former reality TV star Donald Trump became the President-elect of the United States.
MLB World Series Final Traffic
On Wednesday November 2nd, the Chicago Cubs played the Cleveland Indians in the 2016 World Series championship game. More people tuned in to watch the game live than any other World Series finale in 25 years. Those who did were able to see the Cubs win their first world series since 1908! Had the Indians won, it would have been their first championship since 1948. Either way, it was going to be an epic game, especially for folks in Cleveland, Ohio and and Chicago Illinois. Our friends at Vocativ checked in to see if the live event was enough for people to put one type of ball play on hold to watch another.
Halloween Searches and Hot Costumes
As we’ve discovered many times before on Pornhub Insights, the tastes of porn viewers are anything but vanilla. Rule 41 of the internet states that if something exists, there’s porn for it. Perhaps that’s why year-round searches involving costumes, cosplay, superheroes, movie parodies and game characters are so popular. No time of the year brings out sexy costume seekers more than Halloween, so our friends at Refinery29 checked in to see what’s up with our spooky searches.

Pornhub Pizza Delivery: Always Hot and Fresh
One of the oldest and time-honored porn clichés is the infamous pizza delivery guy. Pornhub has nearly 2000 videos with pizza in the title, and each month people search for pizza porn more than 500,000 times. October is officially “Pizza Appreciation Month” (as if one month is enough), so along with our friends at Thrillist we’ll be serving up extra-large portions of cheesy porn data.
The most popular pizza related search is “pizza delivery” (nsfw) followed by “big sausage pizza” (nsfw) and “pizza boy” (nsfw). Some searches like “naked pizza dare” (nsfw), “flashing pizza guy” (nsfw) and “open door naked pizza” (nsfw) are related to a more recent amateur video trend that involves surprising real pizza guys.

Clowning Around
As Halloween approaches, public sightings of “creepy clowns” have become all too common. It’s a viral trend that pops up every few years, but has garnered additional media attention this season due to some clowns taking their scare tactics a bit too far. We’ve discovered many times before that increased media coverage will often result in more searches on Pornhub. Our friends at Thrillist checked in to see if all this clowning around has had the same effect, and it turns out that over the last few weeks searches relating to clowns have increased as much as 213%.
Trump and Clinton Master-Debating
On Sunday, October 9th the second 2016 Presidential Debate took place. Just a few weeks earlier, the first Presidential Debate broke several TV viewership records, but this second debate saw a 20% audience reduction to just 66.5 million. Our friends at ATTN checked in to see how the debate may have affected traffic to Pornhub. Interestingly, Pornhub’s usual Sunday night traffic dropped slightly more during the second debate, indicating that porn fans were more interested in seeing their potential presidents duke it out live.
