Duolingo Owl Rises Again: Beloved Mascot Comes Back To Life And TikTok Reacts

For anyone who didn't believe Duo was actually gone for good, you were right!

In an interesting turn of events, the popular Duolingo mascot, Duo the owl, has risen from the dead just weeks after his tragic passing. The brand shared Duo's big return in a series of videos on TikTok and fans and brands alike are enjoying the latest saga.

"Legends never die."

Two weeks after being hit by a Cybertruck and supposedly dying, Duo the Duolingo owl is back in action and as sassy as ever.

On Monday, the popular TikTok page shared some interesting news about Duo. A video captioned, "Y'all really think I'd let a Cybertruck take me out?" quickly went viral with more than 18.8 million views and nearly 38,000 comments from followers, fans and brands.

Just as before Duo died and following his death, the brands came out in droves to leave witty and hilarious comments, with many helping their own marketing efforts.

Peppa Pig oinked, "The legend RETURNS," and Furby added a simple, "huh?" Who knew Duo had beef with Furby, but apparently based on Duo's sassy reply, there just might be. "You thought I was going to let YOU be the favorite? Absolutely not."

Kit Kat wrote, "Duo just needed a little break," and Mattress Firm said, "Duo needed a nap." And that's just part of the brand's storylines in Duolingo's comment section.

"Guess you don't need help cleaning up!" Tide Rescue shared. Charmin added, "Best news I've ever seen while scrolling on the toilet."

The general consensus of the comment section is that Duo's return is good news and means there's more fun on the way.

Duolingo is working overtime to get fans and brands talking about them and it's working!

The popular language learning app seemed to orchestrate the biggest plot twist when they killed off their beloved mascot, and then another plot twist, Duo's back!

A video captioned, "faked my death was the test and you all passed," shares more of the story. The video currently has more than 5 million views and tons of comments from brands wanting a piece of the action.

Windows asked, "all that drama and for what?" Jake from State Farm wrote, "WELCOME BACK, NEIGHBOR." And Palmer's shared, "even my ex couldn’t pull a comeback like this."

Hilton added, "no longer crying in my mourning suit."

Scrub Daddy shared a video on TikTok shortly after Duo's death to inform fans that Duo left behind some kids. And now that Duo's back, Scrub Daddy wants what's rightfully theirs.

In the video simply captioned, "Duolingo, I'm fuming," fans get to see what happens when you fake your own death leaving children behind.

Written on the video is more of the story, "Heard you faked your own death...good one. Get your big bird a-- back here and take care of your children."

Dominoes hopped into the comment section to say, "I hate it when mom and dad fight." Peppa Pig added, "My dad did the same."

And there's more comedy where that came from!

"You deserve better," Jack in the Box wrote. Intuit TurboTax added, "Do we think Duo only came back for the child tax credit?"

Other brands also created their own videos to join in on the Duolingo saga. One page that didn't seem too happy about the fake death was Squishmallows.

Simply captioned, "Flowers aren't cheap," the brand shared how they feel about Duo's pretend death, (humorously, of course).

Aflac Duck wanted to know, "You kept the receipt right?" and Cheez-It asked, "What about getting my time back?"

Many other fans also had something to say about Duo's rebirth.

"They gaslighted us all. Faking the death of Duo," one fan wrote. Another added, "So a lot of mascots died for him just to come back." Another fan shared a funny thought, "Imagine going to visit your loved one’s grave and see a giant Squishmallow leaving flowers on a random grave."

One thing's for sure, Duo's death brought all the brands out for some collaborative fun. Fans definitely ate it all up and had some fun of their own sharing hilarious comments and videos. The only question left - what's next for Duolingo? How will they keep the masses entertained and all the brands on TikTok engaging with their content and storylines?
