This is neat.

Here's a list of those mentioned here and some I've discovered.

What others exist?

Moby dick, Mario, Luigi, Link, Podman, Totoro, Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto, Akita Neru, Sherlock Holmes, Gollum, Yoshi, Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach

[–] folekaule@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Quite a few as it turns out.

Edit: of course someone created this: DaxDucDex

I'm a little disappointed that I found in Wikipedia it was AI generated:

Throughout 2025, DuckDuckGo rolled out a series of Easter eggs featuring AI-generated images of Dax (DuckDuckGo's duck mascot) dressed up as characters from popular culture (or on 2 occasions replaced by them) when users search for the respective characters. There are currently 661 discovered pop culture logo variants.[64]

Holy crap!

Honestly, I could have done without the 67 one, though...

Edit. A few more I've found that I didn't see on the linked page. Neo, R2D2, Yoda, Pacman, Morpheus. I'm sure there are more.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Eh the 67 doesn't hurt anyone. Stupid meme, sure, but it's not like we didn't have stupid memes 20 years ago. In this instance the lack of meaning is part of the humour.

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Duck duck goose → Duck duck goosed

Duck duck go → Duck duck ghost o_0

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does DuckDuckGo have reverse image search? Is it called DuckDuckCome?

[–] 01189998819991197253 12 points 1 week ago

DuckDuckCome is not what you think it is.

[–] vogi@piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The other day i have noticed a similar easter egg when typing in “podman”. It’s interesting as podman is fairly niche.

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It also works for Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto. It didn't use to work for Akita Neru but looks like they added that after people pointed out they forgot her lol.

[–] The_Helmet_Stays_On@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tried a few characters and Mario, Luigi and Link work as well.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

As does Sherlock Holmes and Gollum!

"Duck Duck Go Moby Dick" sounds a lot like "Go Go Gadget Moby..." well, guess I'll have to leave that incomplete now

[–] Turret3857 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

these were all confirmed to be AI generated. dont get too hyped. No one was paid to make this art.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My enjoyment of things is not dependent on some financial transaction happening in the background.

[–] Turret3857 4 points 1 week ago (6 children)

My enjoyment of things is dependent on whether or not it was made responsibly. Using AI to create art instead of actually paying someone to do something and strengthening the economy is irresponsible.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now I will spend the rest of my life looking for more hidden logos.

[–] nomen_dubium@startrek.website 6 points 1 week ago

TIL that ducks lay easter eggs :D

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

I wonder if they have one for Candlejack. Oh NO he's-

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I think we can just say "I duckducked"

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

No one expects duck dick.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can’t make this grammar make any sense at all.

I just duck duck went? wtf?

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Not sure if I'm over-explaining this or not, but when you go to Google and you search something you say you googled, so this person went to duckduckgo and searched something and they changed the tense of the verb to come up with duck-duck-went.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Back during the St Louis Blues' Stanley Cup parade. Brett Hall (Former Blue) who was wasted all the time said "we used to chant 'lets go Blues' now it should be 'we went Blues'." The DuckDuckWent made me think of that.
