About
"I Accidentally…" is a catchphrase, internet slang, and trolling mechanism meant to exploit the imagination of English-speaking internet users. It is used by constructing a complete sentence that begins with "I accidentally" and removing the verb, leaving readers wondering what had been there in the first place.
Origin
On February 22nd, 2008, YouTuber Ted Suzan posted a video entitled "I accidentally a piano bench; is this dangerous?" The post received more than 1,300 views in 11 years (shown below).
Weekes later, on May 20th, 2008, an anonymous 4chan user on the /b/ (random) board posted a version of the title.. The original poster stated that they had just "accidentally 93MB of .rar files" and wanted to know what they should do and if it was dangerous. Other posters responded both with comments on the post's lack of grammar as well as variations on the phrase "I accidentally". Although the original thread was not archived, a screenshot of the post has been floating around the web since.
Spread
Following the 4chan post, the phrase I Accidentally was used as a textual trolling mechanism across other image boards, message boards including the BodyBuilding forums[5], Yahoo! Answers[3][4], and chat services like Omegle[2]. Users on the receiving end of the trolling would be dumbfounded as to the incomplete sentences or desperately contemplating what accident has occurred. Two popular variations are "I accidentally the whole Coke bottle"[7][1] and "I accidentally a fleshlight". In April 2011, Fark[6] used the phrase as a Photoshop contest theme.

for identifying newly viral trends of some phrase that is a common english language construction, you have to renormalize the baseline.
people who have ever used spectroscopic instruments will be familiar with this sort of thing in a practical software scenario (its routine thing in chemical sciences, eg with the output from a spectroscopic detector from a chromatography instrument, or from a spectrometer like an NMR, Raman/FT-IR, or even an EPR instrument)
essentially, in that picture, you can eyeball it by assuming that the "zero" starts to grow linearly, and then each of the peaks that rise from that line are the spikes in interest from new searches that are not part of the background noise.
