Have Duolingo’s aggressive reminders — “Learning Spanish requires daily practice. Practice now?” — crushed your life, isolating you from friends and family? There’s a lawyer to help with that.
OK, not really. The language-learning app dropped an April Fools’ Day video that pokes fun at itself, referencing the popular memes where the app’s massive green owl threatens slacking pupils with violence.
The faux commercial from a fake law group promises to help victims of Duo, the company’s mascot. It’s actually a pretty decent April Fools’ joke; it’s clearly a gag and not being lame by actually trying to fool people. The faux commercial ends with a phone number, 781-STOP-OWL, and, committing to the bit, it actually works…so give it a ring if you need a good fake lawyer.
