It’s been 24 hours since Amazon revealed Echo and the Internet has already come up with some pretty hilarious videos that parody the $199 voice-controlled speaker.
Amazon on Thursday put out a rather peculiar four-minute video that showed how Echo, which doubles as a virtual personal assistant, helps a typical American family. There was more than enough visual and audio fodder in the clip for the pranksters, who created some re-make videos that are actually kind of funny.
Here’s a good one that features an angry and irritated Echo:
Here’s a movie trailer showing Echo’s unusual and creepy powers:
Here’s one featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice (video since removed):
While Amazon’s video was a little odd, some think it was an excellent way to demonstrate its features.
That Amazon Echo video was good. Yes it was goofy. It also perfectly explained the product in a way few tech demos do.
