Funny Things to Ask Alexa: 100 Commands That Actually Work (2026)
Every list of funny Alexa commands has the same problem: half of them are skills that were discontinued or responses that were changed. This list is different. Every command below was tested on an Echo device in September 2026. The ones that no longer work are not here.
The funniest things to ask Alexa in 2026 include “Alexa, roast me,” “Alexa, can you beatbox?” “Alexa, I am your father,” “Alexa, up up down down left right left right B A,” and “Alexa, self-destruct.” Alexa has over 100 hidden responses, jokes, games, movie references and Easter eggs built in by Amazon’s voice team.
