事發之後，李彥宏俾淋水後講出嘅「What's your problem?」俾網友攞嚟講笑，譬如估如果雷軍俾淋水，佢可能就會講「Are you OK?」網友仲化用成語造咗「宏顏獲水」、「水掉哥頭」、「礦濕奇才」等詞。淘寶有賣家仲販售印有「宏顏獲水」嘅T恤同手機殼。另外，「淋水門」事件喺搜索引擎填報志願事件發生幾日之後又一次引發咗網民對百度的非議。
After the incident, Robin Li said "What's your problem?" after being drenched, which made netizens joke, for example, thinking that if Lei Jun was drenched, he might say "Are you OK?" Netizens also used idioms to create words such as "Hongyan gets water", "water drops brother's head", "mine wet wizard" and so on. Some Taobao sellers also sell T-shirts and mobile phone cases printed with "Hongyan Get Water". In addition, a few days after the "Watergate" incident occurred in the search engine, it once again aroused criticism from netizens against Baidu.
