It seems we now live in a word where even cartoon owls are getting butt injections. This is what the Kardashians hath wrought! (ALLEGEDLY.)
It may sound ridiculous but it was among the most viral pieces of Super Bowl-related content over the weekend: a TikTok showing Duo, the cute, sometimes sinister owl mascot for language-learning app Duolingo, getting a Brazilian Butt Lift from celebrity surgeon Dr. Miami.
Duo the owl is famous on the internet for his clapbacks and occasionally downright sinister comments on social media, like the openly menacing responses he gives to people slacking on their Duolingo lessons.

But getting a BBL is a whole new level of insane, even for Duo. The TikTok shows Duo meeting with Dr. Miami, a reality TV star whose actual name is Michael Salzhauer, for a consultation, then receiving a frankly gruesome surgery that leaves him with an absolute dumptruck a** that would make Nicki Minaj even more jealous than she is of Megan Thee Stallion.
The injections were seemingly a lead-in to Duolingo's five-second Super Bowl ad about how there should be "no buts" when it comes to doing our language-learning lessons.

It's worth noting that the ad ended with Duo birthing a second Duolingo owl out of his BBL, just in case you weren't feeling suitably unhinged yet.
Anyway, that ad almost certainly went over the head of anyone who hadn't caught the bizarre TikTok. But on the app, few people missed Duo's big reveal. The video has racked up more than a million views so far and generated a predictably chaotic comment section.

And, of course, it got people talking all over the internet. How could it not?
Can't wait to see what the folks in the Duolingo marketing department come up with next.
