The Actual Advice Mallard has been around for awhile, but it wasn’t until this weekend that the meme blew up on Reddit’s AdviceAnimals with about 500 new image macros added in just 24 hours. The meme features a duck dispensing advice of the sort which could be found on Reddit’s LifeProTips.
Occasionally the Actual Advice Mallard will be used to make Arrested Development references (as the one above) or to troll with bad advice about putting icy hot on genitals, hitting Alt + F4, and mixing bleach with ammonia as an acne treatment. As with all things on the internet, never blindly follow the advice of a duck or any other type of creature. Especially if they tell you to delete System32.
Our 35 favorite examples of helpful hints from this discerning duck are collected below. All pictures courtesy of Quickmeme. Thanks to Gonten for the assist.

An excellent idea.
An even more excellent idea.
That seems legit.
