Saturday Night Live, the show managed to fit in a great sketch on
Amazon’s Alexa. The sketch was an advertisement for a (faux) device
called Alexa Silver, touted as the only smart speaker built specifically
for “the greatest generation.”
The device’s main feature? It’s super loud and responds to any name even remotely close to Alexa.
Alaina, Allegra, Aretha, Alisha, Alfonzo, Aldis, Arashel, Excederin… you get the idea.
Of course, the device also had a bunch of other features designed for
senior citizens, the best of which may be an “uh-huh” feature, which
just sporadically responds with “uh-huh” as you tell it rambling
stories.
It also repeats itself, clarifies itself and can speak up when you
can’t hear it. Oh, and the best part? You can only order it with a check
or money order.
Honestly, if Amazon actually made Alexa Silver it would probably be a huge hit. I’d totally get one for my grandparents.
Check out the clip above to see the full sketch.
