Alexa devices by Amazon are the new big thing in technology. Here are the top ten hilarious things Irish people say to their Alexa device.
If you don’t know what an Alexa device is by now, then you’ve probably been living under a rock because this smart piece of technology is making its way into many Irish households.
If you’ve ever wanted your own personal assistant, then grab yourself an Amazon Alexa, which will cater for your every need.
It works as a virtual assistant in your home and can help with just about anything upon your command – even when you’re out of the house.
Bearing in mind, the Irish accent can be a struggle to understand at the best of times, so depending on which county you are from, it’s no surprise that Alexa can often struggle to understand what exactly we’re asking it.
Although Alexa has been around for several years now, it has made its way into most homes relatively recently, with the number of Alexa devices sold to Irish people last Christmas skyrocketing.
With that being said, Irish people are now using their devices to assist them with many of life’s demands – and also to keep them entertained, so here are a few hilarious things that Irish people say to their Alexa device.
10. “Alexa, where can I buy some toilet roll?” – the question on everyone’s lips
We are all aware of the chaotic situation that has come upon us in 2020, leading to the nation panic buying food, hand sanitizer, and… toilet roll?
So much so that the majority of stores in Ireland are out of stock and people are desperate to get their hands on a pack or two.
We never knew the day would come when toilet roll would be such a valuable commodity, but now Alexa can help us find that secret stash.
9. “Alexa, how many pints of Guinness do you think I can drink?” – the smart device is a fan of the black stuff
Alexa knows everything, well it tries anyway. But could it possibly know how many pints of Guinness you can handle? Do YOU even know?
8. “Alexa, can you burp the Irish national anthem?” – the only party trick you need
Sure, this would be hilarious to hear, right?
I’m sure Alexa would give it a good try anyway, and that’s enough to impress us Irish folk.
7. “Alexa, name as many types of potatoes as you can!” – the ultimate Irish intelligence test
Us Irish love a good potato, and while it may be a stereotype, it’s a true one.
Mashed, boiled, fried, or baked, we’ll eat it, and if Alexa can name as many types of potatoes as possible, it can stick around.
6. “Alexa, when will I be allowed to leave this damn house?” – craving the freedom
With lockdown in place throughout Ireland this year, many of us were bored silly stuck at home and getting on each other’s nerves. So, of course, we want answers.
Surely Alexa will know this one, eh?
5. “Alexa, tell me, what’s the best county in Ireland?” – ooh, be careful Alexa
Let’s see what Alexa answers to this one, eh? It could be a friend or an enemy after this one!
4. “Alexa, make me a Tayto sandwich on batch bread!” – we’ll never need to leave the couch
Now if Alexa was smart enough, it wouldn’t ask what batch bread is, or Tayto for that matter. But unfortunately, technology hasn’t advanced quite enough to give us our own personal crisp sandwich maker.
We’re sure the day they release an electronic assistant that can we’ll all be buying one!
3. “Alexa, who in Ireland fancies me and where can I find them?” – Tinder is a thing of the past
Sure who needs Tinder when you have a virtual assistant wing woman at your disposal?
Will Alexa be the future of dating?
2. “Alexa, why does my boss hate me?” – maybe you need to stop talking to Alexa and get on with some work
Do we really want to know? Yeah, of course we do!
We’re sure Alexa has some hilarious feedback for you.
1. “Alexa, do your best impression of an Irish culchie!” – how’s she cuttin’?
If Alexa knows what a culchie is, then it is the best assistant we’ve ever had. If it can do a decent culchie accent, then it will have won the hearts of the nation. We would love to hear this.
We’re confident there are hundreds more hilarious things Irish people say to their Alexa devices, and we can’t wait to find out what they are.
With a nation as witty as the Irish are, the list will continue to grow and the answers will forever have us in hysterics. Ah, Alexa, you know how to entertain us!
