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

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.

Unbelievable. I tried it and it is true!

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

This brings me copious amounts of joy

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Duck duck goose → Duck duck goosed

Duck duck go → Duck duck ghost o_0

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Duckduckwent...

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

DuckDuckCome is not what you think it is.

[-] vogi@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

All the Cryptonloids and Gumi work too

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

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

As does Sherlock Holmes and Gollum!

[-] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Going to blues games and chanting that while intoxicated is a good time

[-] Rhoeri@piefed.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

I just duck duck went? wtf?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I think we can just say "I duckducked"

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

You know what? Just because of this, I'm going to switch back to DuckDuckGo.

Every 4get instance uses it as a backend anyway.

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

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub -1 points 1 week ago

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.
