Even though Alexa is always there to provide answers to your questions in a serious manner, it seems like the smart assistant can be plenty of fun as well.
In fact, Alexa is the smartest assistant that includes a wide variety of Easter eggs ready to be discovered.
What I wanted to say is that If one day you ask Alexa something and the answer will leave you speechless, don’t say I haven’t warned you.
In this list we are going to cover some of the funniest Alexa Easter eggs that made us laugh out loud.
What are Easter Eggs?
Easter Eggs are sort of a hidden feature in a software application, video or game. The Easter Eggs are usually addressed to geeks and nerds because these have niched references which can only be deciphered by them. They are jokes that must be uncovered while using that app / game or by watching the video.
In our case, we have to ask Alexa and see what “crazy” answer she’ll offer.
