Cute and interesting video, but every time you said, -Alexa-, my Echo Dots gave me the chime to tell me she was listening. That was the funniest part to me.
It's minorly fun to have my Dots talk to each other. Changed the wake word on one of them to -Echo-. Then set various reminders for Alexa to say, -Echo, .-, and for Echo to say, -Alexa, .-. They tell each other to hear a joke, sing a song, give the weather, do the Flash Briefing, etc. But got boring after a week and turned it all off.

2: 33 -neither of those were jokes- - I disagree. The lemon-aid was funny
The photon that was traveling light was also good. And now I realised that the experiment may have some systematic error. I would say that if the previous jokes weren't funny, the audience would stop paying attention and respond less.
I suggest another experiment with the same good funny routine and inserting these jokes in it - in 4 venues, 1 assistant each.

This was enjoyable to watch, but the margin of error is huge. Comedians laugh at different things compared to casual audiences. It's no surprise the biggest laughs came when Brent acknowledged how poorly the set was going. I'm sure everyone in the room instantly knew this was not original material. The delivery and order of the jokes also affect how funny they'll be.

The good standups don't just stand on stage and rattle off puns, they collate them into a funny story, string them together a bit. Make a cohesive story with the jokes sprinkled in for flavor. You would have gotten way more laughs if you tried that I think.

the real joke is wanna hear a dirty joke?
bob rolled in some mud
wanna hear a clean joke?
bob took a bath with with bubbles
wanna hear another dirty joke?
bubbles was the girl next door
they made it child friendly and killed the joke

reply

did you at least tell that poor audience to blame their phones and online assistants for all the bad jokes, or did you take the fall?
i hope you put the robots in their place.

reply

most of them laughed because they knew exactly that he knows how bad those jokes are. I bet it was pretty entertaining for them seeing him suffer

A I have no problem. The only problems it don't have Emotions. I think it gonna last Forever with emotions problem. Making a jokes is disaster.
reply

You would hope they could learn some subverted expectations, and even tie it in with current affairs, to 'create' some new material.

i'm pretty sure the crowd figured out he didn't actually think they where funny. They probably thought it was a dare or something.
