- Hey Alexa, what's your favorite color?
- Infrared is super pretty.
- [David] Alexa how do you feel about Siri?
- Siri's a great app, but I'm different.
Alexa,
do you think I'm fat?
- How about you ask me again later when you're not
stuffing your face full of crap.
- What's up guys, David here.
In today's episode of First Look,
we're gonna be checking out the Amazon Echo's
new skill feature
that essentially let's you download and install apps
for the virtual assistant.
I haven't tested any of them out so far
so we're gonna be experiencing them
for the first time together,
so with that said, let's jump right in.
Alright so first one we'll check out will be,
Alexa, ask animal sounds what a lion sounds like.
(lion roaring)
- What animal would you like to hear next?
- A monkey.
(monkey squawking)
- What an animal would you like to hear next?
- A bird.
- I'm not good at their noise yet.
I'm too embarrassed to try.
Pick a different animal. - [David] Okay.
Alright so another skill is its ability to play
black jack with you so,
Alexa ask the dealer to deal the cards.
- You have been dealt nine of clubs and nine of spades.
Dealer has whole card and four of clubs.
Hit or stand?
- Stand.
- You have 18,
dealer has ace of spades and four of clubs,
dealer hits, it's the six of hearts,
dealer stands on 21, dealer wins.
Play again?
That's (bleep) no.
Alexa, ask for a fart.
(farting)
Alexa, ask for another fart.
(farting)
(laughing)
Alexa, ask mom jokes to tell me a joke.
- Your mamma's so fat when she goes camping
the bears hide their food.
Your mamma's so fat that when she was born
she gave the hospital stretch marks.
Your mamma's so fat when she burped New Orleans
thought Katrina came back to finish the job.
- Oh.
Okay.
Alexa, tell me a dog fact.
- The Russian's trained dogs during World War 2
to run suicide missions with mines strapped to their backs.
- That's messed up.
Oh, here's another skill.
We've got a game, which is capital quiz
which quizzes you on the capitals
of all the 50 states in the US.
- What is the capital of Florida?
- South Beach.
No.
- What is the capital of Utah?
- Salt Lake City?
No it's not.
Is it?
- Try again.
The capital of Utah is Salt Lake City.
- That's what I said. - [Alexa] What is the capital
of Mississippi?
- I'm starting to realize I don't know
any of the capitals.
Takes like,
maybe,
10 seconds to install an app
or enable an app is what they call it.
Maybe longer then 10 seconds.
Alexa, ask knock knock.
- Knock knock.
- Who's there?
- Adolf.
- Adolf who?
- Adolf ball hit me in the mouth.
- Alright here's an interesting skill,
it's called movie quotes trivia game.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Oh okay.
- Okay here is your first movie quote.
They call me Mr. Dibbs.
- They call me what?
- Are you ready for your next movie quote?
- Yes.
- Go ahead, make my day.
- Oh.
Dirty Harry?
Oh.
- [Background Man] Want me to give you the answer?
- Yeah.
- Here is your final movie quote.
What is a youte?
- God I've been--
- If you would like me to repeat the movie quote
just say repeat.
If you need a hint, just say hint.
- Repeat.
- What famous movie contained the following line,
what is a youte?
- Four Corners.
No.
Dammit, I tried.
That's one of the first thing I saw.
- That is too bad.
This movie quote from the movie My Cousin Vinny.
- Shit it was the second response in there.
- Thanks for playing the movie quotes trivia game.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- No luck, man.
Alright so we got another skill that I'm gonna
enable right here, it's called Laugh Box.
It says Laugh Box will play and describe different laughs.
You should be laughing as a result.
(laughing)
- Why?
Why is this a thing?
Alexa stop.
Please, stop.
(laughing)
Alexa,
ask audio goal for a goal.
(shouting)
Here's another skill.
It's called Egginator so,
there's an app on Android and on the iPhone I think
that you could ask a bunch of questions
and it's suppose to guess,
no wait.
You'll get what I'm saying when I start it.
Alexa start Egginator.
- Think of a real or fictional character
and I will try to guess who it is.
Is your character a real person?
- Bugs Bunny, let's see.
No.
- Is your character a YouTuber?
- No.
- Is your character linked with ice?
- No.
- Is your character an FBI agent?
- Nope.
- Is your character a link to Five Nights at Freddy's?
- No, this is a long game.
- Is your character a dog?
Is your character connected to human teeth?
Is your character famous for their legendary kicks?
- Yeah the app I think works a little bit better.
- Has your character ever done a collab with Connor Franta?
- This is the most specific question ever, no.
Alright, I'm done, I'm done with it.
Yeah so there aren't a lot of skills on the app store
I guess you can call it or skill store
right now.
A lot of them are actually poorly rated
from what I'm seeing here.
Some of them work well.
Some of them not so much.
Overall, it's a work in process.
This is a early app store,
it reminds me of the days of when Android first started,
you know, there's like,
12 apps on the app or the
what was it called back then?
App market.
And the quality wasn't necessarily there.
But I think as developers start developing
for this platform,
I think there's a lot of stuff you could do.
That pretty much does it for me in this video,
if you liked it give it a big thumbs up to show your love
and as always I'll see you in the very next episode.
(upbeat instrumental music)
(shouting)
(laughing)
Woo.
