Nope. Nooooope. Nuh uh. Not at all. Could not disagree more profoundly.
Google has a responsibility to its users. Surfacing a 4Chan result in a top-results box is a fail for those users who see it. The Google search results in that case are worse than returning nothing at all.
Let me put it differently. There are some sites that should never be treated as authoritative on any subject under any circumstances. 4Chan is one of those sites. It's one thing for a user to be looking for something _on 4Chan_ but for anyone else, 4Chan results are garbage and an algorithm fail 100% of the time (at least, that's what I would argue; obviously I do not work at Google and cannot speak for them).
