The most amusing things to ask Alexa
Alexa can be super helpful. With just a few tech tips, you can set timers and alarms, get the day’s forecast, play music and even reorder your favorite coffee, since, well, things aren’t pretty when you run out. But did you know that Alexa can be great entertainment too? For example, let’s say you’re in the kitchen dancing along to the famous Sir Mix-a-Lot song “Baby Got Back” and you’re curious what Alexa thinks about it. Your conversation might go something like this:
You: Alexa, I like big butts.
Alexa: You cannot lie. Good—honesty is important.
Yep, humor is apparently in Alexa’s skill set! And if you need a little levity in your day, you’ll be oh-so-glad you know this. Before we get into the funniest prompts to ask Alexa for some hilarious jokes and pop-culture Easter eggs, note that we’re not including the answers because a) half of the fun is hearing Alexa say funny things, and b) Alexa has multiple answers to most questions, so you can ask her more than once. Her answers may even depend on who she is talking to.
With that in mind, read on to discover the most amusing things to ask Alexa … and then ask away! Trust us: This will be the best part of your day today.
